1. Overview of
our Privacy Policy.
In
accordance with California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (effective
January 1, 2005), when you visit our website and request information
from us, we collect personal information, such as your name,
address(es), electronic mail address and telephone number. We also
collect this information when you save your information with us online
or participate in a survey, promotion or sweepstakes sponsored by us.
We maintain a record of your program interests and inquiries. We may
also acquire information about you from Gander for marketing
purposes.
2. How does LBLP use my information?
When
request information from us, we use your personal information to
respond to you via phone, mail or e-mail in accordance with your
request. We will also use your address and
e-mail
address to send you information about our programs, services,
sweepstakes, and promotions. If you participate in a sweepstakes or
promotion (online or over the phone), we may use your personal
information to send you e-mails, mail, or telephone (including text
messages) regarding our programs, services, sweepstakes and promotions.
From time to time, we may use this information to contact you via
e-mail, mail, or telephone to learn more about your program
preferences. You always have the choice not to receive marketing
information mailings or calls; you just need to let us know.
We may also use
information about your program interests and purchases from Gander to
help us improve our site design and your online experiences. We may
contact you, subject to the choices you have made, via e-mail, mail, or
telephone, to conduct market research and learn more about how we can
improve our program offerings.
To
serve you better, we may combine information you give us and
information about your program interests and purchases with information
from third parties, including demographic information and information
that is publicly available. We may also combine this information with
information from Gander. We use that combined information to enhance
and personalize your online experience with us, and to communicate with
you in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
3.
Does LBLP share my information with third parties other than
Gander?
LBLP
will share your information with Gander so that Gander can communicate
with you by e-mail or mail about its programs, services, sweepstakes
and promotions that may be of interest to you. Gander has a privacy
policy that is consistent with our own. Aside from Gander, we will not
share your information with any other third party for marketing
purposes.
We do
contract with service providers to maintain and manage our client
information, to fulfill promotions and to communicate with our clients.
We do not authorize any of these service providers to make any other
use of your information.
LBLP
reserves the right to disclose information about you as required by
law, in response to legal process and law enforcement requests, and as
necessary to protect the property, interests and rights of LBLP, its
affiliates, and others.
4.
How do I OPT OUT of receiving promotional communications?
We
want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. If you
prefer not to receive promotional information from us, or if you do not
want us to use your information to enhance your online experience, you
may OPT OUT of receiving our promotional communications at no cost to
you and OPT OUT of our information sharing with Gander. You should be
aware that you will need to OPT OUT each time you contact us
electronically by means of our website or save your information online.
To OPT OUT, please
let us know by calling us at (800) 233-1819 or by mailing your written
request to Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, Attn: Marketing
Department – Privacy Policy Issues, 416 Higuera Street, San
Luis Obispo, CA 93401. Please be sure to include your full name and the
addresses (mail and e-mail) you used when you registered with or made a
purchase from us. If you ask us to remove your name and address from
promotional lists, we will maintain your name in our "do not contact"
list to ensure that we can honor your request. Note that it may take up
to eight (8) weeks to process your opt out request, during which time
you may continue to receive communications from LBLP and/or Gander.
If you would like
to request information about what we collect, please feel free to call
or write us as well. In accordance with California law, we will respond
in writing to your request within thirty (30) days.
5.
How do I access my information? How do I change or delete my
information?
You
may ask us to update your personal information by calling or writing us
with your new information.
6.
How does LBLP protect children's privacy online?
LBLP is concerned about
the safety of children when they use the Internet and our site.
Children (persons under the age of 18) are not eligible to use our site
unsupervised, and we ask that children do not submit any personal
information to us. If you are under the age of 18, you may only use our
site in conjunction and under the supervision of your parents or
guardians. We will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of 18.
7.
What are cookies? How does LBLP use cookies on its
site?
A
"cookie" is a small data file that websites often store on your
computer's hard drive when you visit their sites. A cookie may contain
information, such as a unique user ID that websites use to track the
pages of the sites you've visited. We use cookies but do not store
personally identifiable information in the cookie.
We
use cookies in order to improve your online experience. Through our use
of cookies, we also track and maintain the identity of the website you
visited immediately prior to visiting our website. We do not otherwise
track any information about your use of other websites.
You
can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you turn off
cookies, though, we will not be able to recognize you as a registered
user, which allows you to access your account information.
8.
How does LBLP protect and use client information?
We are committed to
protecting the security and integrity of our client information, and we
use procedures and technology designed for this purpose. For
example:
a. We
limit employee access to client information to those who have a
business reason to know this information.
b.
We maintain policies and procedures covering the physical security of
workplaces and records.
c.
We use technological means (such as backup files, virus detection
software, firewalls and other computer software and hardware) to
protect against unauthorized access or alterations to client data.
9. Is my information secure?
We
believe your data must be protected against loss and unauthorized
access. We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your
personal information against loss or theft as well as unauthorized
access and disclosure to protect your privacy, including encryption,
firewalls and Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology. While we employ
many different security techniques to protect such data from
unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company, perfect
security does not exist on the Internet.
10.
What about links to other websites and services?
LBLP's website may
contain links to other sites. LBLP does not control the privacy
policies or practices of these websites. You should review those
policies before providing any personal information. LBLP is not
responsible for the content or practices of any linked websites, and we
provide these links solely for the convenience and information of our
visitors.
11. Updates to our Privacy Policy.
We
may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms
on our website at www.lindamoodbell.com. All amended terms shall
automatically be effective thirty (30) days after they are initially
posted on the site.
12. Governing Law; Limitation of Damages.
This
Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of California. By
your use of our site, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions
contained in this Privacy Policy. To the extent you may maintain any
claims for liability against LBLP arising from a potential violation of
this Privacy Policy or to the misuse of your personal information, you
agree that your recovery for damages is expressly limited to those
provided in California Civil Code
Section 1798.84.
