Privacy Policy This Privacy Policy Statement relates solely to the online information collection and use practices of our Web site located at www.leftcoasinstruments.com (this "web site"). We recognize that some visitors and users of this web site may be concerned about the information they provide to us, and how we treat that information. This Privacy Statement, which may be updated from time to time, has been developed to address those concerns. Your use of this web site indicates to us that you have read and accept our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Statement. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Statement, please contact info@leftcoastinstruments.com. What Information About You Do We Collect? When you visit our web site, you may provide us with two types of information:
We may ask for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing to you content and/or services that you request. For example, if you indicate an interest in receiving Technical Bulletins, you are asked to submit your name, company, address, phone number, and email address, which we retain on file, so that we may send you the information that you requested. We also request your name and email address each time you contact us by clicking on the “Contact Us” link. We may retain a record of users who have contacted us in order to respond properly to questions or concerns and for purposes of future communications. Non-Personally Identifiable Information We Collect Web Server Logs & Cookies: Similar to other commercial web sites, our web site utilizes standard technology called “cookies” and web server logs to collect information about how our web site is used. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our web site, and the web sites visited just before and just after our web site. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual. You can disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our web site will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser’s provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies. How Do We Use the Information We Collect? We use your personally identifiable information to provide you with the information or content that you have requested, and, in some cases, to contact you about our products, features or services. If you no longer wish to receive any type of information from us, you may send us an email at info@leftcoastinstruments.com. We use non-identifying information collected on our web site in the aggregate to better understand your use of the web site and to enhance your enjoyment and experience. For example, we may use the information to improve the design and content of our web site or to analyze the programs and services that we offer. We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Our employees, agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement. We may provide access to your personally identifiable information when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our web site, to limit our legal liability and protect our rights, or to protect the rights and safety of visitors to this web site or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that limited purpose. We will not share your personally identifiable information in ways unrelated to those described above without providing you with an opportunity to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. How Do You Access and /or Modify Your Information or Choices? If you visit our web site and volunteer personally identifiable information, you may modify, update or delete such information at any time by contacting us at info@leftcoastinstruments.com. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases. In addition, please be aware that your ability to opt out from receiving marketing and promotional materials does not change our right to contact you regarding your use of our web site.Privacy Protections for Children Using the Internet Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information on our web site from those we actually know are under the age of 13, nor is any part of our web site targeted to attract anyone under 13. We request that all visitors to our web site who are under 13 not disclose or provide any personally identifiable information. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete that child’s personally identifiable information from our records. Data Security We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the personally identifiable information that we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as installing electronic security systems that guard against unauthorized access. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, so you do so at your own risk. Consent to Transfer This web site is operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States.
