2. Under what circumstances we will share or disclose your information?

   Legal and law enforcement purposes. We may disclose personally identifiable information (1) in response to legal process, including court orders and subpoenas; or (2) in response to a law enforcement agency’s request. We may also disclose your information to third parties for fraud-scoring, detection, and prevention activities or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of another person, violations of our terms of use, to protect our rights and the rights of others, and as otherwise required by law.

   Change of control. We may transfer information about you as part of substantial corporate transactions, such as the sale of our business, a divesture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

   Service providers. We may share your personally identifiable information with our agents and contractors to help carry out the services they are performing for us.

   Affiliates, business partners, and other third parties. We may share your personally identifiable information to companies whose practices are not subject to this privacy policy. For example, we may share the information we collect with our affiliates to provide, improve, and communicate with you about their own products and services.

   We may also share your information with business partners and third parties—e.g., other marketers, magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases, and nonprofit organizations—that want to market products or services to you. If we share personally identifiable information with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out or block these uses.

   Linked websites. Our Website contains links to other websites whose information practices may differ from ours. You should consult these other websites’ privacy policies before submitting any information to them, as we have no control over information submitted to or collected by these third parties.

   Sponsors and copromotions. We sometimes may offer content or programs—e.g., contests, sweepstakes, promotions, games, applications, or social network integrations—that are sponsored by or cobranded with identified third parties. Because of these relationships, these third parties may obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the activity. We have no control over these third parties’ use of this information. The Website will try to notify you at the time of requesting personally identifiable information if these third parties will obtain this information.

   Advertisement servers. On our Website, third parties may present or serve advertisements, provide us with data collection, reporting, ad response measurement, and website analytics, as well as assist with delivery of relevant marketing messages and advertisements. These third parties may view, edit, or set their own cookies. The use of these technologies by these third parties is subject to their own privacy policies and is not covered by this privacy policy. They may also obtain information about other applications that you have downloaded to your mobile device, the mobile websites you visit, and other information about you or your device in order to help analyze and serve anonymous targeted advertising on the Website and elsewhere. For more information about third party ad servers at our Website and your ability to opt-out of targeted advertising from these third parties, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative, the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising, or the TRUSTe Preference Manager. You may also control advertising cookies from Google by using the Google Ads Preference Manager. Please understand that opting-out through these programs will stop certain targeted advertising, but will still allow the collection of usage data for some purposes, including research, analytics, and internal operations.

   As indicated above, when using a mobile application, you may receive tailored in-application advertisements. Each operating system, Android for Android devices, iOS for Apple devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You should review the support materials or the privacy settings for the respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements. For any other devices or operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact the applicable platform operator.

   Aggregated or nonpersonal information. We may share your nonpersonally identifiable information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share it with other companies and third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our Website—including any mobile website or application—and on websites or applications of third parties, and to analyze and report on the advertising you view. We may combine nonpersonally identifiable information we collect with additional nonpersonally identifiable information collected from other sources.

   Any third party with whom we are allowed to share your personal information is authorized to use your personal information according to our contractual arrangements with those third parties and according to their own privacy policies, over which we have no control. You agree that we are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions regarding your personal information.

We use the information we collect about you (1) to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services; (2) to respond to your inquiries about our offerings; (3) to provide, personalize, and improve our offerings; and (4) to offer you other products, programs, or services from us and our affiliates, business partners, and selected third parties that we believe may be of interest to you.

   We use the information we collect for our online forums and communities to provide an interactive experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in these online forums and communities and, on one or more occasions, to offer you products, programs, or services.

   If you choose to submit content for publication, we may publish your username and other information you have provided to us on our Website, the Internet, or elsewhere.

   To communicate with you. We use information about you to communicate with you, including (1) to notify you when we make changes to our terms; (2) to fulfill a request by you for an online newsletter; (3) to confirm purchasers you have made through our Website; (4) to contact you about your account with us (including managing your account and providing you with customer support); or (5) to otherwise enforce or exercise any rights in our terms. You may also choose to receive push notifications from us on your mobile device.

   We use the information that you provide about others to allow us to send them invitations, gifts, cards, or other content on your behalf or through our Website. Occasionally, we may also use this information to offer products, programs, or services to them.

   Use of mobile device data. When you access our Website on a mobile device, we may use the information collected for any of the purposes stated in this privacy policy. For example, we use information collected on mobile devices to allow you to do things like (1) watch video clips; (2) view photographs; (3) receive entertainment/sports news and updates; (4) receive information about comics, movies, and TV shows; (5) locate and access personalized information or functionality based on your location; (6) play games; (7) follow blogs; and (8) read critic and user reviews. We may also use this information to offer you products, programs, and services we believe you may be interested in and otherwise personalize your experience.

   Use of nonpersonally identifiable information. We use aggregate information about our users and nonpersonally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design, functionality, and content of our Website and to allow us to personalize your experience with our Website and offerings. We use this information to (1) provide, maintain, personalize, protect, improve, and develop our products, programs, and services and to operate our business; (2) to analyze usage and performance of our Website (including to perform ad tracking and website or mobile application analytics); and (3) for us and our affiliates, business partners, and selected third parties to offer you products, programs, or services.

4. How do we use cookies and other technical information?

   Cookies and Web beacons. We, and our affiliates, business partners, and third-party service providers may send “cookies” to your computer or use similar technologies to enhance your online experience at our Website. “Cookies” are a string of information that a website stores on a user’s computer, and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. Cookies can identify you as a unique customer and store your personal preferences as well as technical information (including click through and click stream data). Cookies manage and measure the performance of advertisements displayed on or delivered by or through us or other networks or websites. Cookies can either be persistent—that is, they remain on your computer until you delete them—or temporary—that is, they last only until you close your browser.

   When you login to our Website, we will record your user or member ID and the name associated with your user or member ID in the cookie file on your computer. We may also record your password in this cookie file, if you told us that you would like your password saved for automatic login. For security purposes, we encrypt account-related data that we store in these cookies. For services that do not require a user or member ID, the cookie will contain a unique identifier. We may use persistent tracking cookies on your mobile device, mainly for security protection purposes, such as to prevent phishers, scammers, unauthorized login attempts, and to help you access your hacked account. We may allow our service providers to serve cookies from our Website or application to allow them to assist us in various activities, such as doing analysis and research on the effectiveness of our Website, content, and advertising.

   Our Website may also use locally stored objects (sometimes referred to as “Flash cookies”) to provide certain content, such as video on demand, video clips, or animation. Adobe’s Flash player and similar applications use this technology to remember settings, preferences, and usage similar to browser cookies. Flash cookies are not managed through your browser, but you can access your Flash management tools from Adobe’s website.

   We may also use “Web beacons” that monitor your use of our Website. Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, or Web bugs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users or to access cookies. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s device, Web beacons are embedded invisibly on the webpages (or in email) and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We use Web beacons to collect the following information: (1) the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded the webpage on which the Web beacon appears; (2) the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the webpage on which the Web beacon appears; (3) the time the webpage containing the Web beacon was viewed; (4) the types of browser that fetched the Web beacon; and (5) the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. In addition, when corresponding with you through HTML capable email, Web beacons let us know whether you received and opened our email.

   On their own, cookies or Web beacons do not contain or reveal any personally identifiable information. But if you choose to furnish personally identifiable information, this information can be linked to the data stored in the cookies/Web beacons.

   Managing cookies and Web beacons. By accepting this privacy policy, you specifically agree to our use of cookies and Web beacons as described in this privacy policy. You may adjust your browser to reject cookies from us or from any other website. Additionally, by setting your Web browser to display HTML emails as text only, you may be able to prevent the use of some Web beacons. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (for more information about HTTP cookies and how to disable them, or restrict the categories of cookies you wish to accept, you can consult the information at www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.) Please understand that certain areas of our Website can only be accessed in conjunction with cookies or similar devices and you should be aware that disabling cookies or similar devices might prevent you from accessing some of our content or Website features. You assume all responsibility for any resulting loss of functionality because of disabling cookies or similar devices.

5. How do you opt-out?

   Marketing communications. We provide you with an opportunity to express your preferences about receiving certain marketing communications from us or from unaffiliated third parties. If you ever decide in the future that you would like to update these preferences, (1) you may log into your account if you have created an account with us to adjust your settings, (2) you may follow the “unsubscribe” instructions provided in any marketing email you receive from us, (3) you may send us an email at privacy@lmnola.com and we will edit your preferences accordingly, or (4) you may opt-out of targeted advertising by visiting one or more of the following services: (a) Network Advertising Initiative, (b) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising, (c) TRUSTe Preference Manager, or (d) Google Ads Preference Manager. If you previously chose to receive push notifications on your mobile device from us but no longer want to receive them, you can manage your preferences either through your device or app settings, depending on the type of device. Online opt-out requests are instant. However, we may continue to send you transactional emails, such as service announcements and administrative notices, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them.

   Mobile applications. If you no longer want to have the application collect information, you may uninstall the application by using the standard uninstall processes available on your mobile device or through the mobile application marketplace or network. If you no longer want to receive tailored in-application advertisements, each operating system—Android for Android devices, iOS for Apple devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices—provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You should review the support materials or the privacy settings for the respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements. For any other devices or operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact the applicable platform operator. Please note that the effect of opting out of targeted advertising (mobile or otherwise) will be to prevent targeted advertising, but not to prevent you from seeing all advertisements, and information may still be collected for other purposes (such as research, online services analytics, or internal operations).

6. How secure is your personally identifiable information?

   We take commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to safeguard and protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. This includes using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the personally identifiable information you input, and storing your information in encrypted form behind a firewall designed to block access from outside our network.

   Although we use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your information, transmissions on the Internet cannot be made 100% secure as recent cyber security breaches demonstrate. Moreover, we cannot assure you that your personally identifiable information that we collect will never be used or disclosed inconsistently with this privacy policy. We assume no responsibility or liability for disclosure of any of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorized third-party access, or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

7. What about other websites linked to our Website?

   Third parties are under no obligation to comply with this privacy policy concerning personally identifiable information that you provide directly to those third parties or that those third parties collect for themselves. Except for www.lmnoagency.com, we neither own nor control the third-party websites accessible through our Website and this privacy policy does not apply to information provided to or gathered by third parties that operate them. We assume no responsibility for the content or the privacy policies of any other websites that may provide links to our Website or to whom we may provide links, or for the privacy policies of any of their advertisers. Before visiting a third-party website, whether by means of a link on this Website or otherwise, and before providing any personally identifiable information to any third party, you should inform yourself of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that website, and should take those steps necessary to, in your discretion, protect your privacy.

8. What is “Do Not Track” and does the Website follow it?

   Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your Web browser. DNT is a way for you to inform websites and services that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect and that is why we provide you the ability to opt-out. However, we do not recognize or respond to any DNT signals as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

9. Do California residents have special privacy rights?

   If you are a California resident, you have the right to receive (1) information identifying any third-party company to whom we may have disclosed, within the past calendar year, personal information concerning you and your family for our direct marketing purposes; and (2) a description of the categories of personal information disclosed. If you want to exercise this right, you must make a request in writing to us to obtain this information. We will not process your request unless it includes your full name, email address, postal address, the URL for the website you visited, and the subject lined labeled “Your California Privacy Rights.” Please email your request to privacy@lmnola.com. We will only honor one request per calendar year.

10. Do Canadian citizens have special privacy rights?

    The Website may be subject to Canadian law, specifically, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (S.C. 2000, c. 5). If you believe that we have violated your privacy rights in any way, please contact us immediately at privacy@lmnola.com. You may visit www.priv.gc.ca for more information about your privacy rights.

11. How do you update or correct your information?

    To access the personally identifiable information that our Website collected about you, to correct factual errors in this information, or to update your information, please login to your account if you have created one with us or send an email to privacy@lmnola.com. To help protect your privacy and security, we will take commercially reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. If we have already provided certain information to third parties as described in this privacy policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties’ privacy policies.

12. How do we protect children’s privacy?

    The features, programs, promotions, and other aspects of the Website requiring the submission of personally identifiable information are not intended for anyone under 18-years old. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13-years old as except as stated here. Visitors to this Website may take part in many activities without giving any personally identifiable information. But in some cases, if a visitor wants to take part in certain of our interactive features, we ask the visitor to register as a user and give us his or her email address and age information. When the person who registers states that he or she is under 13-years old, we will either (1) collect no or limited personally identifiable information from that child, (2) tell the child that a parent’s verifiable consent is required, or (3) collect the email address of the child’s parent besides the child’s email address. We use the parent’s email address to seek the parent’s verifiable consent or notify the parent of his or her child’s online activities and enable the parent to unsubscribe his or her child from a newsletter or other similar activity. If a user is under 13-years old, we will not condition his or her participation in an online activity on the disclosure of more information than is reasonable necessary to take part in the activity. We do not share children’s information with outside third parties not bound by this privacy policy for their own marketing purposes. If you would like to review any personally identifiable information that we have collected online from your child, have this information deleted from our active servers, or ask that there be no further collection or use of your child’s information or if you have questions about these information practices, you may contact us at privacy@lmnola.com.

    California minors under 18-years old may request the removal of any information that they posted to the Website by contacting privacy@lmnola.com. On receipt of this request, we will anonymize or remove from public view any content posted by a minor to the Website, unless required by law to keep the content or information.

13. Can we change this privacy policy?

    We may change this privacy policy if we believe necessary to operate the Website or follow changes in the law. If we do make a change, we will try to give you advance notice of any change by posting notice of the revised privacy policy on this webpage at least 15 days before its effective date or by sending you an email message. Each version of this privacy policy will identify when we last changed it at the top and we will keep earlier versions of this privacy policy in an archive for your review (or we will keep a copy offline and send it to you on request). The changes will apply only to information collected after the effective date, and not to information collected under earlier privacy policies. We encourage you to check this webpage often for any changes to this privacy policy. If you do not agree with the changes, please stop accessing this Website and delete any account you created with us. If we do not hear from you, we will consider your continued access to our Website after the revised privacy policy’s effective date as your acceptance of the changes.

14. What if you have more questions or want to contact us?

    If you have any questions about our privacy policy, our practices, or your dealings with us, please email us at privacy@lmnola.com.
