Capture and Use of Information.
Registration. If you participate in interactive activities (registration, message boards, member activities, email, forums, e-commerce, etc.) on DC Tri, you may be asked to register for a password and/or to provide information on submission forms. Unique identifiers, such as IDs and passwords, are collected to verify your identity and for use in our record system. Your contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary for service reasons.
Financial information that is collected is used only to bill you for products and services that you specifically request.

Cookies. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning to your computer a unique number that has no meaning outside of our site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information; we use them to provide features such as personalization, to save your member ID, and to keep track of your shopping cart. We may also use cookies to assist us in delivering content specific to your interests. Additionally, after you’ve entered your member ID and password on our service, we save that information so you don’t have to re-enter it repeatedly. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of DC Tri unavailable to you.

Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies (or web beacons) are used to show you content relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks, with our permission. A web beacon is a transparent image that has been placed on a webpage and sends a signal when a user has visited that page. They may be used to show you content relevant to you and your interests, limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

We do not control these cookies and cannot prevent these sites or domains from collecting information on your use of this content.

It is DC Tri’s policy not to release any personally identifying information about you without your consent (usually obtained through an “opt-out” option that you may select when providing the information or by updating your private profile). In most cases, information will be released only on an aggregated basis (meaning that the information from many DC Tri users is grouped together in a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular user). We may use contact information that you provide to send you information about DC Tri, surveys, and promotional material from some of our partners. DC Tri will disclose personal information about an individual user if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with an applicable law or valid legal process.
