At certain points in your interaction with the Site, certain third-party service providers engaged by PDP (“Service Providers”) may be responsible for collecting information pertaining to you, your interactions with the Site, your preferences, your settings, or other general information. At other points you will need to submit various pieces of information to a Service Provider in order to take advantage of services offered by PDP, including but not limited to making a purchase, financing a purchase, applying for employment, or entering a contest.

We are committed to ensuring the privacy and security of all users' data. PDP employees, owners, agents, or any other contractors, do not have access to any user project data. All project data is reasonably anonymized and is processed in such a way that it cannot be linked back to any individual user or entity, unless explicitly approved by the user in the case of a support ticket or email. Our systems are designed to ensure that users' project information remains private. We respect the confidentiality of your work and take significant measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or disclosure.
