What Information Does Digitalbes Limited Collect?
PLEASE NOTE: THE TYPE OF DATA COLLECTED BY DIGITALBES LIMITED WILL VARY WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE.
To improve the quality of the products and services Digitalbes Limited offers to you and to operate the Site, Digitalbes Limited collects various personal identifying information (as described below) from different parts of its Site. Digitalbes Limited gathers most information during the registration process to use Digitalbes Limited services and products. But, Digitalbes Limited may request personally identifying information at other times, including, but not limited to, when you report a problem with our Site, when you complete survey forms when you enter into a transaction through the Site when you request to receive communications from Digitalbes Limited, and when you post information on the Site.
Below, we provide examples of the types of personal identifying information Digitalbes Limited collects through the Site. Again, please be aware that the type of data collected by Digitalbes Limited will vary with your use of the Site.

Demographic Information: Digitalbes Limited may collect demographic and profile data (for example, job title, job position, and technical computer or Internet connection information) at our Site for management and monitoring purposes and to improve the quality of Digitalbes Limited services. In addition, Digitalbes Limited may collect demographic and profile data in connection with surveys it conducts for its internal administrative purposes or release to third parties.
Transactional Information: Digitalbes Limited may maintain a database of aggregated information about the transactions on the Site (e.g., offer/request data, product/service categories, and product/service prices).
Technical Information: We also collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from all users of our Site and may catalog the type of computer, browser, or operating system used by the user.
How Does Digitalbes Limited Use That Information?
The Site offers two different levels of service: (1) a members-only section (the “Members Only Section”); and (2) publicly available information areas. Consequently, until you register to access a Members Only area, you can browse the Site without providing any personal identifying information. In particular, you do not need to register with Digitalbes Limited or submit any personal identifying information to view the information in those sections of the Site that are publicly accessible, such as the About Digitalbes Limited, Public Policy, and Newsroom sections. Entry will be permitted without any need to login, although your browser may tell us what type of computer and operating system you are using as well as other kinds of technical information.
Only the Members Only Section requires that you register with Digitalbes Limited. Accordingly, if you wish to become a member, you will need to agree to provide your personally-identifying information to be used as discussed below. In addition, if you wish to receive information from Digitalbes Limited, order products and services from Digitalbes Limited, be included in the Digitalbes Limited member directory, and/or participate and receive the results of surveys, then Digitalbes Limited will need to receive your personal identifying information, and in particular, your name and e-mail address for communication purposes. Please note, however, that the Digitalbes Limited member directory lists a registered member’s name, e-mail address, and certain demographic information such as title, employer, office phone number, and office address.
When you provide personally-identifying information to Digitalbes Limited, you share that information only with Digitalbes Limited, unless (i) you are using Digitalbes Limited’ services as a part of a third party Web site (in which case information sharing between such third party and Digitalbes Limited will take place for the third party to offer Digitalbes Limited’ services); (ii) you are completing a transaction involving third-party services, such as viewing the Digitalbes Limited scorecard through Others, in which case information sharing will be necessary to enable the transaction to take place; or (iii) it is specifically stated otherwise.
Below, is more detail on how Digitalbes Limited uses your personal identifying information.
Contact Information: Digitalbes Limited may use your contact information to provide its goods and services, to share your information with others as a part of the Members Only online directory, to advertise its goods and services and the goods and services of third parties, to create a personalized experience for you, to provide you with news and information, to contact you regarding a survey, to complete a transaction for goods and services, and to get in touch with you when necessary concerning transactions conducted through the Site, material changes in our Site’s policies, new services Digitalbes Limited may offer, or otherwise. We do not share your contact information with other types of third parties for any other purpose, except to a court or governmental agency if required by law.
Survey Results: Digitalbes Limited may share, lease rent, license, and/or sell survey results and aggregated demographic data collected through the Site with the general public, the news media, and with the Nigerian Government and state governments, not only as may be required by law, but also to participate in government programs and initiatives.

What About “Opting Out” Of Data Collection And Use?
The collection, use, and distribution of your personal identifying information are necessary for Digitalbes Limited to provide certain products and services and to operate the Site.

Once registered with the Members Only Section, Digitalbes Limited maintains your information so long as you are registered for Digitalbes Limited services at this Site.
But, several Digitalbes Limited other programs are completely voluntary and you can decide on your own if you wish to participate or opt-out. For example, if Digitalbes Limited conducts a survey, you do not have to participate unless you agree to do so and provide your e-mail address for Digitalbes Limited to communicate with you.
Digitalbes Limited also provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of certain Digitalbes Limited business practices where your personally identifying information may be used.
