Dolphin receives some data by recording how users interact with Dolphin products and services by, for example, using technologies like Cookies, receiving error reports, usage data or location data from software running on Dolphin products or from utilizing Dolphin services. The data Dolphin collects depends on the products, services and features used, and can include the following:

Dolphin will collect data about any hardware, software, and other details related to the support incident for the purpose of tracking device performance and product improvement.

However, if you reject or remove Cookies or other tracking technology, you might not be able to access certain pages or use important functions on Sites, including downloading documents and establishing a user profile.
Other Technology. Sites also use IP addresses, log files and other technology to identify Site problems and usage. Dolphin also uses Web beacons to perform standard traffic analysis on the Sites in a manner similar to how Dolphin uses Cookies and to track Site(s) usage for statistical purposes. Dolphin reserves the right to introduce new tracking technologies and techniques related to the use of the Sites, although Dolphin will do so subject to and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations.
HOW DOLPHIN USES PERSONAL INFORMATION

WHY DOLPHIN SHARES PERSONAL INFORMATION
Dolphin shares Personal Information with consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any product or service requested or authorized. Dolphin also may disclose and transfer Personal Information to channel partners, strategic partners, suppliers and other third parties for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement and to assist with the operation of the Sites and/or the associated business transactions. If Dolphin sells or divests all or part of its business, makes a transfer of assets, or otherwise becomes involved in a change of control transaction, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, Dolphin may transfer Personal Data covered by this Privacy Shield Policy to one or more third parties as part of the transaction including the due diligence process. Additionally, Dolphin will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve Personal Information when Dolphin has a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; protect our customers, for example to prevent unsolicited emails or attempts to defraud users of Dolphin products, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; operate and maintain the security of Dolphin’s products and services, including to prevent or stop an attack on Dolphin’s computer systems or networks; or protect the rights or property of Dolphin, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the products or services; however, if Dolphin receives information indicating that someone is using Dolphin products or services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property, Dolphin may refer the matter to law enforcement.
