1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Users
a) DTR may collect and/or track (1) the home server domain names, e- mail addresses, type of computer, and type of Web browser of visitors to the Site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with DTR or the Site via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online forms, donation mechanisms, registration forms and surveys, (including name, address, e-mail, financial information, and other personal profile data), and (4) aggregate and user-specific information regarding page views. We may record information relating to your use of the Site, such as the searches you undertake, the pages you view, your browser type, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp information. We use this type of information to administer the Site and provide the highest possible level of service. We also use this information to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the Site.
b) DTR may place Internet “cookies” on visitors’ hard drives. Internet cookies save data about individual visitors, such as the visitor’s name, password, user-name, screen preferences, the pages of a site viewed by the visitor, and the advertisements viewed or clicked by the visitor. When the visitor revisits the Site, DTR may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor’s experience accordingly. Visitors may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of their Web client software, if available; however, this may impair certain features of the Site.

We may disclose personal information even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, to the extent we feel is necessary to inform and cooperate with law enforcement agencies or other appropriate authorities.
f) In aggregated form, i.e., information about multiple users collectively without identifying any individual user, such as the total number of visitors to a particular section in a given week.
