Information Received by LAD
Personal Information
LAD collects personal information only if you voluntarily choose to share such information with LAD. You may browse the Site without disclosing any personal information. However, in order for you to take advantage of particular opportunities provided through the Service, we may require that you furnish personal information. When you register your account, sign up for newsletters, complete forms for optional programs, surveys, contests, and other entries, and through communications transmitted through LAD, we collect information including your name, address, phone number, and email address. You also may choose to send LAD personally identifying information in an email message containing information or inquiries about the Service.
Cookies and Other Technologies
When you visit websites on the Internet, your browser may automatically transmit information to the websites you visit throughout every visit. Like many websites, we may use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We may utilize persistent cookies that only LAD can read and use to save your login information for future logins to the Service, to hold session information, and to track user preferences. We may utilize session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Service. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site and Service and then close your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you will not be able to use all portions or all functionalities of the Service.
IP Address
When you visit and interact with the Site, LAD and/or third parties with whom LAD has contracted to provide services to LAD may collect your Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”), which is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider. This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. We use IP Addresses to monitor the regions from which Users navigate the Site and for fraud prevention purposes.
We may also require you to provide us with your financial information, including billing name, address, bank account information, and credit card number (“Financial Information”).
Only authorized LAD staff may have access to your Personal Information in its entirety. Other staff may have access to portions of this information if it pertains to their job duties. This information will never be shared outside of the LAD organization.
LAD’s Use of Personal Information
LAD uses Personal Information for the following general purposes:
- to provide our products and the Service;
- for billing, payment processing, identification and authentication, and fraud prevention;
- for marketing, re-marketing tools, and internet-based advertising;
- for newsletters and email updates and information;
- to analyze Site usage and improve our products and the Service;
- to contact you and deliver administrative notices and communications relevant to your use of our products and services;
- for internal market research, troubleshooting problems, and detecting and protecting against error, fraud or other criminal activity;
- for distribution to third-party contractors that provide services to LAD and partners of LAD who are bound by privacy restrictions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Policy;
- to enforce our Terms of Use; and
- as otherwise set forth in the Policy.
LAD may analyze Personal Information and web navigational data based on your interests and may use the analysis from this information in a way that doesn’t reveal a User’s personal information (“Market Research”) in order to:
- Market the Service;
- Improve the likelihood of a sale to a group of Users; and
- Increase the likelihood that a group’s experience with the Service is relevant to its interests as a whole.
LAD uses data at the individual level to sell services to Users who express an interest in these services. LAD may use your cell phone number to call or text you in order to provide the Service. If you would like more information about our policy, or to opt out, please contact us at support@lad.pub. We use Financial Information solely as authorized by you in accordance with the Service.
Third Parties
We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Services and as such our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
Choice/Opt-Out
You may opt-out of receiving communications from us, remove your information from our database, and choose to not receive future communications unrelated to the Service.
During registration you choose whether to receive correspondence from LAD and whether you want to participate in a variety of LAD programs. This information remains on your profile where you can, at any point, easily edit it to indicate that you have changed your mind. If you receive an unsolicited email from a LAD domain, please contact us at support@lad.pub.
LAD’s information retention policy
To preserve the integrity of our databases, we may retain information submitted by Users for an indefinite length of time. If required by law, we will delete Personal Information by erasing it from our database. We will also respond to User requests to delete or correct account or Personal Information, which you can do by contacting LAD at support@lad.pub.
LAD’s security of collected information
Your LAD account is password-protected so that only you and authorized LAD staff have access to your account information. In order to maintain this protection, do not give your password to anyone. Also, if you share a computer, you should sign out of your LAD account and close the browser window before someone else logs on. This will help protect your information entered on public terminals from disclosure to third parties.
LAD makes every effort to ensure that your information is secure on its system by backing up data in separate backup drives and using public key access encryption and firewalls on both our main and backup servers. We also employ customer record managers to protect against loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Only certain authorized LAD staff can access Personal Information, and then only if it is relevant to their job duties. LAD has staff dedicated to maintaining this Privacy Policy and other privacy initiatives, periodically reviewing security and making sure that every LAD employee is aware of our security practices. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, LAD cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. While LAD will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all personal information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal and/or financial information stored therein, and you agree to hold LAD harmless for any damages that may result therefrom. LAD expressly disclaims any liability that may arise should any other individuals obtain the information you submit to this website.
With whom does LAD share information?
Some LAD content may be “sponsored by” or “presented by” other companies. This information is aggregated and not linked to specific users.
Partners may sponsor promotions, contests and sweepstakes that require you to reveal details such as your name, address or phone number. Always check their privacy policy before revealing information about yourself. If you don’t want these sponsors to have your personal information, you can choose to not participate.
LAD reserves the right to disclose Personal Information from both private and public areas of this website at our discretion, if required by law, or if we are given reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that someone is causing injury to or interference with the rights of Users, the general public, or LAD, to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process.
We will not transfer to a non-Agent third party any Personal Information that is sensitive in nature, such as information specifying your medical or health condition, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership without your prior affirmative consent.
Finally, LAD reserves the right to transfer, sell and/or distribute all information collected through the Service to an affiliate, subsidiary, or third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or part of our business, assets or stock. We will use our best efforts to ensure that the new entity follows this Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Information, as and to the extent required by applicable law.
How can Users edit their information?
LAD believes strongly in giving you the ability to access and edit your Personal Information. You can view, update and correct your account information. You may edit your account information at any time — all you need is your username and password.
So that we can protect the integrity of sensitive data, there are certain pieces of information, such as your age, that you cannot alter yourself. For example, since children under 18 are not allowed to register as Users, we need to take reasonable measures to preserve the accuracy of our Users’ ages. Please contact us at support@lad.pub to find out how to change information you cannot access through your account.
Our databases automatically update any Personal Information you edit in your profile, or that you request we edit. Information remains in our databases and becomes the property of LAD upon submission.
Notification of changes
LAD’s security and privacy policy are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. This policy might change as LAD updates and expands the Service. LAD will endeavor to notify you of these changes by email, but will not be liable for any failure to do so. LAD also encourages you to review this privacy policy periodically. If you do not understand any of the terms or conditions of any of LAD’s policies, you may inquire regarding the same via email at support@lad.pub.
Users from outside the United States
LAD and its Service are based in the U.S., and the Company’s offices are headquartered in the U.S. Please be aware that information you provide to LAD that it obtains as a result of your use of the Service may be processed and transferred to the U.S. and be subject to U.S. law. The privacy and data protection laws in the U.S. may not be equivalent to such laws in your country of residence. By using the Website, participating in any of the Service, or by providing LAD with your information, you consent to this collection, transfer, storage, and processing of information to and in the U.S. LAD will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
