You may voluntarily provide us with certain personal information, such as education, occupation, interests and other personal or preference information that you may choose to provide with us.
When you access Dodecanesiandream.com, we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all Dodecanesiandream.com visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser.

When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information. We may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging and forum services, and other users of the services through the operation of the services in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.

We do on occasion provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is
1) reasonably necessary to offer the service

3) opportunities and/or information we feel would interest you.
For example: We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Dodecanesiandream.com, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Dodecanesiandream.com-specified purposes.

We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the services or using the Dodecanesiandream.com name. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies. We may offer e-stores or provide services jointly with other companies on Dodecanesiandream.com
