As of October 11, 2022 these websites include (collectively the DAMPP-CHASER.com sites): dampdefender.com, pianosaverstore.com, pianolifesaver.com, db.dampp-chaser.com.
We collect personal data only if required to provide products or services, fulfil our legitimate business purposes and/or comply with applicable laws and regulations. Depending on your relationship with DAMPP-CHASER we collect and process your personal data, including without limitation, the following:
Non-DAMPP-CHASER web sites and social media features.

We may also provide social media features that enable you to share information with your social networks and to interact with DAMPP-CHASER on various social media sites. DAMPP-CHASER does not control third party sites or their privacy practices. The personal data you choose to provide to, or that is collected or shared by, these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you interact with before allowing the collection and use of your personal data.

DAMPP-CHASER may transfer your personal data as necessary within DAMPP-CHASER and to other third parties. The recipients may be located in countries which do not provide the same level of data protection as the country in which you are located. DAMPP-CHASER will take steps to ensure personal data we transfer is adequately protected as required by applicable data protection laws. Where required by local law, we will request your consent to transfer your personal data.
DAMPP-CHASER may provide you with information that complements our products and services and/or communications about our new products, services and offers. If you or your organization purchased our products or services, you may receive alerts, updates or responses to support requests that are part of our products and services.

How DAMPP-CHASER uses Automatic Data Collection Tools. DAMPP-CHASER web sites use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, Automatic Data Collection Tools), to remember log-in details, collect statistics to optimize site functionality, improve your user experience and deliver content tailored to your interests.
DAMPP-CHASER also allows third-party advertising companies to use cookies on our web sites in order to optimize our advertisements and marketing and to serve advertisements specific to your interests on other websites. DAMPP-CHASER may use retargeting and behavioral advertising technologies, a set of practices collectively referred to as “Interest Based Advertising” to tailor those advertisements to your perceived interests.
Cookies may also be used when you share information using a social media sharing button on our websites. The social network will record that you have done this and may use this information to send you targeted advertisements. The types of cookies used by these companies and how they use the information is governed by their privacy policies.
When you enter your contact details on a web form on a DAMPP-CHASER.com site, in order to subscribe to a service or request information about DAMPP-CHASER’s products and service, your contact details may be stored in a cookie on your device. This information is then accessed on subsequent visits to DAMPP-CHASER.com sites, allowing us to track and record the sites you have visited and the links you have clicked, in order to better personalize your on-line experience, and future DAMPP-CHASER communications.
If you choose to receive marketing emails or newsletters from DAMPP-CHASER, we may track whether you’ve opened those messages and whether you’ve clicked on links contained within those messages, through the use of web beacons and personalized URLs embedded in these communications. This allows DAMPP-CHASER to better personalize future communications and limit these communications to subjects that are of interest to you.
Choices Regarding Automatic Data Collection & Online Tracking. While DAMPP-CHASER web sites at this time do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, such as “do not track” instructions, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies and similar technologies through your web browser. You can set your browser in most instances to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it or not. You can also generally set your browser to turn off cookies. If you are accessing our web sites in countries of the European Union (EU), or countries where the EU regulations apply, you are given the choice to accept or refuse our use of non-essential cookies.
Since cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our web sites’ features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block, turn off or otherwise reject our cookies, some web pages may not display properly or you will not be able, for instance, to add items to your shopping cart, proceed to checkout, or use any web site services that require you to sign in.
Some of our websites use Google Analytics cookies. Information collected by Google Analytics cookies will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States of America in accordance with its privacy practices. To see an overview of privacy at Google and how this applies to Google Analytics, visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

DAMPP-CHASER strives to keep your personal data accurately recorded. We have implemented technology, management processes and policies to help maintain data accuracy. In accordance with applicable laws, DAMPP-CHASER provides individuals with reasonable access to personal data that they provide to DAMPP-CHASER and the reasonable ability to review and correct it.
To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as the requirement to provide a copy of a user ID or email address, before granting access to your personal data. To view and update the personal data you provided directly to DAMPP-CHASER, you can return to the web page where you originally submitted your data and follow the instructions on that web page or contact the DAMPP-CHASER Privacy Office.
DAMPP-CHASER takes seriously the trust you place in us to protect your personal data. In order to protect your personal data from loss, or unauthorized use, access or disclosure, DAMPP-CHASER utilizes reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and administrative procedures to safeguard the information we collect and process. All systems used to support DAMPP-CHASER’s business are governed by DAMPP-CHASER’s corporate Cyber Security policies, which are built upon industry standards and best practices.
When collecting or transferring sensitive information we use a variety of additional security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The personal data you provide us is stored on computer systems locked in controlled facilities which have limited access. Access to your information is restricted to DAMPP-CHASER employees or authorized third parties who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to confidentiality obligations. When we transmit sensitive information over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), or Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
For users of DAMPP-CHASER.com sites who have username and passwords to access certain areas of such sites, it is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computers, devices, and applications. We recommend using a unique password for your DAMPP-CHASER.com sites that is not used for other online accounts. Be sure to always sign off your DAMPP-CHASER.com sites account when you are finished using a shared computer.
Typically, we keep personal data for the length of any contractual relationship and, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, after the end of that relationship for as long as necessary to perform purposes set out in this Privacy Statement, to protect DAMPP-CHASER from legal claims and administer our business. When we no longer need to use personal data, we will delete it from our systems and records or take steps to anonymize the data unless we need to keep it longer to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. If you would like to receive more information about our data retention policies, please contact the DAMPP-CHASER Privacy Office.
Our privacy practices are aligned with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are located in the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, this additional information may be relevant and applicable to you.
