Privacy Policy

determined2, LLC (collectively “D2” or “Website”) is the owner and operator of determined2.com. D2 is committed to the protection of the information you provide us through this Website, including any information submitted to us via various forms. D2 is the sole owner of the information collected on this Website and will not sell, rent or share the information collected in a manner that differs from what is disclosed in this Policy. Information is collected at different points in this Website and all of it is subject to what is contained herein.

D2 provides you control over the personally identifiable information (PII) that you voluntarily provide us on this site. PII may include name, email address, mailing address, gender, schools attended and other such information that is provided by you to D2 during our initial registration process, or subsequent to it. D2 allows you to share this information either anonymously or openly depending on your profile preferences. A basic profile is created for you during registration and can subsequently be customized by you. You determine whether or not to include contact information, personal data, pictures, interests and other PII in your profile, and with whom you would like to share such information. In addition, D2 also facilitates your access to the PII that others want to share.

Control and access is core to D2’s mission. D2 respects both the need to control PII and our users’ requirements for sharing it. D2 is diligent in ensuring that it has taken all appropriate administrative and technical measures to prevent the unauthorized or unlawful use of your PII, and to prevent any accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, such information. However, if you voluntarily make PII available, either through your D2 profile or other D2 preferences, you thereby waive privacy expectations with respect to D2’s use of such PII, including the use of your likeness via photographs, video, or similar content.

D2’s Privacy Policy is designed to improve your understanding regarding the collection and dissemination of information you provide, either directly or indirectly, to D2. It is likewise designed to enable you to make a more informed decision when using or accessing D2 and any of its related domains.

By using or accessing D2, you are accepting the practices contained herein.

Information Collected

There are various types of information that D2 collects, either as part of the D2 registration process or during interactions while you use or access our site. Some of this information is provided voluntarily by you and other information is provided through automated processes under D2’s control.

Information Provided By You

In addition to PII provided during the D2 registration process, you may also provide D2 PII during the following representative class of interactions:

§ requesting customer support and sending us similar communications;

§ signing up for D2 email alerts, newsletters, and similar special offers;

§ ordering products or services made available by D2;

§ responding to D2 surveys and other special information requests;

§ use of email a friend or refer a friend features;

The above list is not exhaustive, but merely representative of a class of interactions which are covered by this Policy.

Information Provided By Automated Processes

D2 may use cookies, web beacons, and log files to collect non-PII.

A cookie is data stored in a small text file on your local access device that contains data about you. The information in the cookie is used to uniquely identify you and other D2 users. The D2 cookie contains a token that may be linked to secured D2 databases in order to provide an enhanced feature set. It identifies a particular user at a particular point in time. You have the option of resetting your browser to reject cookies. If you choose to do so some D2 functionality may not be available. It is possible that in the future some of our partners may use cookies on the D2 Website; however, D2 has no control over such cookies.

D2 may collect non-PII through the use of web beacons and log files. TCP/IP (IP) addresses are examples of non-PII. An IP address is way to uniquely identify a computer. D2 may use IP addresses for analyzing Website usage (e.g. tracking user movement throughout the site) and for aggregating user metrics. D2 may also use IP addresses for gathering information for aggregate analytics (e.g. trend analysis). D2 may collect, in addition to IP addresses, browser type and other related information. Likewise, D2 may collect status information regarding whether or not you opened email, or other information, received from us.

D2 may also use web beacons to enable communications with third parties. A web beacon is a small image in an HTML page with all dimensions set to 1 pixel. Because of its insignificant size, it is not visible; but it is used to pass certain non-PII anonymously to third-party sites, usually advertisers.

Implications Regarding Collected Information

D2 collects information in order to provide a high quality user experience and to offer a personalized feature set. When information is collected and retained it is done so in order to enhance your usage of our Website. Backup copies of collected information may be kept for a limited time in order to provide information restoration services where appropriate.

You post and upload User Content on the D2 Website at your own risk. Profile preferences provide some protection, but few (if any) security measures are incapable of being defeated. D2 makes no representations as to whether User Content you post or upload will be viewed solely by authorized persons. D2 is not responsible for the circumvention of security measures implemented to protect this Website. Certain User Content may remain visible, even after removal, due to the inherent functionality contained within the Internet’s architecture and the enabling technologies that underpin it. You understand, acknowledge and accept that D2 is in no way responsible for such content.

Furthermore, any improper, illegal or misuse of information provided on, or to, D2, violates the D2 Terms of Use agreement and is a serious matter that should be reported by any user who is a witness thereto. Violations of D2’s Privacy Policy should be reported to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Finally, use of D2’s Website implies your consent to have your PII and non-PII (i.e. any data provided to D2) stored, transferred and processed within the United States.

Use of Information

D2 uses the information that it collects about you to improve your D2 experience and also to select content and services that you may find interesting and useful. Information about the content you visit and services you use may be used alone or in conjunction with information collected from other users to help modify this Website. Information that you provide may also be used as part of D2's effort to keep you informed about services that may be of interest to you.

You control both the content and the dissemination of your D2 profile. Your profile information is made available to the channels that you allow access. These channels are comprised of groups that make up your D2 network of friends and associates (e.g. goals based, school, city, political affiliations, or other organizational groups you are a member of, etc). Certain minimal profile information is made available to search engines by D2, as well as those provided by third parties. However, full profile information is available only to D2 users that you have granted access, based on your privacy settings.

Sharing of Information

Any PII provided will not be shared with third parties, for any purpose other than those enumerated below, without your permission. D2 reserves the right to share with third parties aggregated non-PII for the purpose of compiling information that is relevant to the interests of the D2 community. D2 may also aggregate information from various external sources to enhance your profile, but only if your privacy settings allow such aggregation, after full disclosure. Any such aggregated information is then shared with other D2 users via profile access rules that you establish.

D2, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to disclose any information that it obtains through this Website to appropriate governmental or regulatory authorities, if required by law or any governmental agency. Likewise, D2, at its sole discretion, may share any information collected, stored and processed, if it has a good faith belief that to do is reasonably necessary to (1) enforce its Terms of Use; (2) detect, investigate and otherwise address fraud, security or technical breaches or related matters; or (3) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of D2, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.

Security of Information

Any information sent to D2 through Internet e-mail or through this Website is not secure and is done so on a non-confidential basis. Therefore, any information you send D2 over the Internet, either through this Website or via email, is done at your own risk. However, once such information is received, D2 takes appropriate security measures to prevent its unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include periodic review of internal processes, and benchmarking of same with industry best practices. Access to PII is restricted to D2 employees, contractors, and agents on a need to know basis. Such individuals are generally bound by confidentiality agreements and may be subject to termination and criminal prosecution should they fail to comply with same.

Data integrity

D2 processes PII only for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with this Policy. Reasonable steps are taken to ensure the quality of PII that D2 collects, processes and stores. However, D2 also depends on its users to keep their PII current and accurate. D2 conducts periodic reviews to ensure that only the PII required to improve its services is collected and stored. The maintenance of data quality is a joint collaborative effort between D2 and its users.

D2 may, from time to time, delete data upon the request of an individual user. D2 requires that a user present proper credentials for identification before honoring all such requests. Good faith attempts are made to work with individual users regarding data related issues. However, D2 reserves the right to refuse such requests when they prove unduly burdensome and/or are impractical. Finally, D2 will not delete data required to be kept by applicable law or for legitimate business reasons.

Choices Regarding PII

Should D2 decide to use PII other than for the purpose originally collected, D2 will do so only with your consent. You will be given the opportunity to opt out of any such use. Furthermore, should D2 become involved in a sale, acquisition, or any form of transfer of some or all of its assets, then D2 will provide notice to you before your PII is subject to a new or different Privacy Policy.

You always have the option of contacting D2 should you have questions regarding your PII. Please contact D2 using the contact information provided (see Contact below).

Protecting Children

D2 does not knowingly collect or solicit PII from anyone under the age of 13, with or without parental consent. Furthermore, if you are a parent of a child under the age of 13, and you suspect that your child has registered on D2, you can request that any such information be immediately deleted from D2’s records by sending an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or by contacting D2 via the contact information provided below. D2 will promptly respond to any such notification, and upon verification, immediately delete the information in question.

No child under the age of 13 should attempt to register on D2, or otherwise provide us any PII including name, email address, phone number, physical address or any such similar information. In addition, children over the age of 13 are encouraged to seek parental consent prior to registering on D2. The protection of children on the Internet is an important public policy concern—one that D2 is committed to supporting.
