Langton Commercial Services,
Inc. (“LCS”) Online Privacy Policy (Last updated January 22, 2005)
LCS has established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and manages
the personal information that it collects from you (the customer) online.
1. Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure
Your use of the LCS site and/or your registration for LCS products and services
constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not
agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the LCS site.
LCS may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When it does, LCS will also
revise the “last update” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In addition,
LCS will seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed
disclosures of information collected from the customer prior to the change. LCS
will notify customers by email of changes to this policy that will affect
information collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances, however,
LCS will not inform and obtain the consent of the customer, such as in
connection with an investigation of a breach of an agreement, contravention of
laws, an emergency where the life, health or security of an individual is
threatened, the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law
enforcement agency or a court order.
A customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and disclosure at
any time by sending an email to unsubscribe [at] lcsorigin.com. Please note that,
if you do, LCS may suspend its provision of products and services to you. When
you unsubscribe, if you fall within the guarantee period for any LCS product and
you request a refund, the guarantee will be honored.
2. Accountability
LCS collects, at the time of your registration and your sign-on to its web site,
certain “personal information” (information that personally identifies you)
including but not limited to your name, email address, home or work address,
telephone number, and information about your computer hardware and software (e.g.,
IP address, operating system, browser type, domain name, URL, access times, and
referring web site addresses).
LCS has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal information received
from its customers, and to respond to any inquiries. The Privacy Policy also
provides that LCS will use appropriate contractual means to establish a
comparable level of protection for personal information which is sent for
processing by third parties on LCS’s behalf.
LCS has designated responsibility for your personal information to its Privacy
Officer, who ensures compliance with the principles in this Privacy Policy.
Other LCS individuals may be delegated to act on behalf of the Privacy Officer.
3. Purposes for Collecting Personal Information
LCS collects and uses personal information for the following Identified Purposes:
(a) to understand customer needs regarding LCS’s services;
(b) to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for our
customers;
(c) to fulfill your requests for products, services or information;
(d) to communicate with customers and site visitors, when necessary, and to
inform customers of upgrades, as well as of other products and services
available from LCS, its affiliates and third parties;
(e) to allow customers to access limited-entry areas of LCS’s site;
(f) to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver
targeted advertisements and offers from LCS and third parties;
(g) to bill accounts and maintain payment records;
(h) to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government
request;
(i) to respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief, that
you are violating the rights of any third party or any of the agreements or
policies that govern your use of the LCS site or any LCS product or service;
(j) to protect the services, products or rights of LCS, including but not
limited to the security or integrity of the LCS site; and
(k) to identify and resolve technical problems concerning LCS’s site, products
and services.
LCS also uses personal information in an aggregate form (i.e., not individually
attributable to you) for its business analysis, operational, marketing and other
promotional purposes. If we hire other companies to provide some products or
services on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies the personal
information they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their
rights to use and further disclose your personal information as appropriate in
the course of their work for us.
4. Limiting the Collection of Personal Information
LCS limits its collection of personal information to only that information which
is necessary for the Identified Purposes. LCS does not direct its site to, nor
does it knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age
of thirteen.
When you visit the LCS web site, a cookie may be placed on your computer or the
cookie may be read if you have visited the LCS site previously. LCS uses
cookies to allow LCS to determine which products and services you have already
purchased so that LCS does not provide redundant information to you, and, if you
are an LCS affiliate, to track LCS sales made to customers referred by you so
that you can receive compensation under our affiliate program. If you choose to
not have your browser accept cookies from the LCS web site, you may not be able
to view all the text on the screens, or to experience a personalised visit, or
to subscribe to certain service and product offerings on the LCS site.
5. Disclosure, Processing and Retention
LCS does not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to anyone else,
except:
(a) to someone you have designated to act as your agent, for one or more of the
Identified Purposes (listed in Section 2, above);
(b) to LCS’s employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates,
consultants, business associates, service providers, suppliers and agents,
acting on LCS’s behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;
(c) as necessary if LCS has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with LCS’s
rights or property, other users of LCS’s web site, products or services, or
anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; and
(d) to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement
agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public
safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.
In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we or our affiliates may
sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with another company.
In such transactions, personal information may be one of the transferred
business assets. Also, in the event that LCS or substantially all of its assets
are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.
Your information may be stored and processed in the United States, or in any
other country in which LCS or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain
facilities. By using this web site, you consent to any such transfer of
information outside of your country.
After your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from
our database), LCS will keep your personal information in its archives. Your
information will then be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove
LCS’s compliance with any applicable law.
6. Accuracy of Personal Information
LCS will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal information accurate
for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the possibility of making
inappropriate customer decisions based on such information. Customers are
responsible for informing LCS about changes to their personal information. You
can do this by calling 302 261 7375
XX or sending an email to privacy [at] lcsorigin.com.
LCS will use new or updated personal information it receives from customers to
update its own records.
7. Security Safeguards
LCS will use reasonable efforts to protect customers’ personal information.
8. Access to Personal Information
LCS will afford you a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information
in your file, if you so request by calling 302 261 7375
or writing to:
Langton Commercial Services, Inc.
16192 Coastal Highway,
Lewes, DE 19958 USA
If LCS is not able to provide access to some aspect of a customer’s personal
information, it will provide reasons for denying access such as; that by doing
so would likely reveal personal information about a third party, or that it is
confidential commercial information or attorney–client privileged
communications, or that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or a
contravention of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to
threaten the life or security of another individual.
Customers have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be
amended as appropriate, by contacting LCS as described above. LCS will promptly
correct such personal information.
