For example, within the previous twelve (12) months, Direct Systems Support may have disclosed customer e-mail addresses to a marketing platform provider for digital promotional services. If you are a California resident, you have a right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. To learn more, please review the section regarding Your Choices below.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Direct Systems Support uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and provide our Services to allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, record member settings, and improve user experience across our Services. We also use cookies in connection with our Services to help recognize user devices and stated user preferences. Below is some general information about cookies, and then more specific information about the types of cookies and other tracking technologies that Direct Systems Support may use.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating web domain on your subsequent visits to that domain. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser, while persistent cookies may remain on your device after the browser is closed (for example to reference your user preferences when you return to the same site). Most web pages contain elements from multiple web domains so when you visit the website, your browser may receive cookies from several sources.
“Local Shared Objects,” or “flash cookies,” are also data files that can be stored on your computer when you visit websites. These are similar to browser cookies, but can store data more complex than simple text. By themselves, they cannot do anything to or with the data on your computer. Like other cookies, Local Shared Objects can only access personal information that you have provided on our Services, and cannot be accessed by other websites. To find out more about flash cookies or how to disable them, please visit: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable-local-shared-objects-flash.html.
DATA RETENTION
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which the information was collected, depending on the purpose(s) for which the information was collected, the nature of the information, any contractual relationship that may govern the retention of the information, and our legal or regulatory obligations. For example, we retain credit card pre-authorization data, including security codes, only as long as necessary to complete the requested transaction. If you request deletion of your Direct Systems Support member account, we will terminate your access to our Services. We will further destroy or choose to further retain personal information in de-identified or aggregated form, in accordance with applicable law.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
Direct Systems Support maintains reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the information we maintain against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. For example, maisonsolutionsinc.com is secured by the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt and protect information transmitted over the Internet. We also regularly monitor our systems for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. However, no system is 100% secure. We cannot warrant the security of any information that you send us, and we cannot guarantee that your personal information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.
YOUR CHOICES
You have choices about how your personal information is processed, including the right to access or delete it.
