LCMI Privacy Policy
Thank you for reviewing the Privacy Policy for LifecycleManagementInnovations.com, your web portal into Lifecycle Management Innovations, LLC (“LCMI”). LCMI is sensitive to the issue of confidentiality in online dealings and is committed to protecting individual privacy. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users about the general approach LCMI uses in collecting, using and disseminating user information via LifecycleManagementInnovations.com.
Your privacy on LCMI’s Website
The primary purpose of LCMI’s website is to be a dynamic resource and business tool to help you create your future. We want you to feel secure when visiting our site and are committed to maintaining your privacy when doing so. The following provides an overview of our privacy policy.
What data do we collect automatically and why?
When you visit the Site and you have not otherwise identified yourself (e.g., via registration with the Site), our web server automatically recognizes your domain name, but not your e-mail address. We collect the domain name and monitor general site use and traffic patterns to improve our web site and the products and services we offer. LCMI uses web server logs to collect data for metric purposes. Examples of the types of data collected on the logs are IP addresses, referral pages, date and time of Site access, and Site visited. We may use collected data to customize the content and/or layout of our pages for each individual visitor.
Do we use Cookies or Tracers?
Cookies are small data files placed on your hard drive by a website server when you visit. The Site may use cookies for tracking purposes or to make the Site easier to use. Cookies are currently the only way to effectively identify a unique anonymous visitor and understand how they navigate our web site. An anonymous visitor to our site remains anonymous in all cases. We do not attempt to identify visitors if they do not voluntarily submit personal information to us. With most internet browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Cookies offer enhanced functionality to the user, but whether you allow a cookie to be placed on your computer is up to you!
In some instances, we use tracking scripts or “tracers” that recognize a unique identifier from a cookie placed on your hard drive by another website. These are used by LCMI solely to gauge the success of our own advertising. For instance, we may use a tracer to determine whether you visit our employment pages after visiting a resume or career site where LCMI placed a banner ad. We do not use tracers to gather information on your use of the internet unrelated to LCMI. Please note that LCMI does not use tracers to identify your personal information, and you remain anonymous unless and until you choose to register.
Do we collect personal information?
In some cases, LCMI requests personally identifiable information from you in order to satisfy the underlying transaction or purpose of your accessing the Site. Examples of personally identifiable information include names, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, and the like. Please note that we do not consider aggregated information, from which personally identifiable information has been removed, to be private.
What happens if I register?
Registration is allowed or required on certain LCMI Sites. Please refer to the agreements and policies applicable to the LCMI Site for which you provide registration information in order to assure that you understand the applicable privacy practices. LCMI may collect registration data in order to monitor compliance with the terms of use governing the Site and to set up access permissions to certain
LCMI Sites.
What security is provided?
We do not treat your general interaction with LifecycleManagementInnovations.com (e.g., submission of suggestions) as confidential. However, certain LCMI Sites do conduct transactions for which heightened security is appropriate. For instance, certain LCMI Sites encrypt your personal information (e.g., for transmission of credit card data), so that only appropriate personnel are able to decode your information. Note that most internet browsers also offer security alerts that permit you to determine whether your transmissions are protected. Please refer to the agreements and policies applicable to the Site for which you provide personal information in order to assure that you understand applicable security practices.
When would we disclose your information?
We do not rent, sell, or trade any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., e-mail addresses) to third parties. Certain LCMI Sites may disclose information to third parties assisting us in processing a transaction requested by you (e.g., credit card service providers). In order to cooperate with legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas, or court orders, to protect LCMI and/or LCMI’s systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of LCMI and/or LCMI’s business and systems, LCMI may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
What if data is transmitted internationally?
If you are one of our international guests, we realize that you may want to know whether your personal information will be transferred out of your country of origin. Please be aware that when you register or request a transaction on a LCMI Site, your personal data may be transferred to computers in the United States in order to process your request.
What about children’s privacy?
LCMI’s Sites are not designed with the intent to attract the collection of information from children under the age of 13. We ask that children under the age of 13 not submit any personal information to us while viewing our website.
Does this apply to all LCMI Sites?
Through LifecycleManagementInnovations.com, you may link to many networked web pages and websites operated by LCMI and its subsidiaries and affiliates (together, the “LCMI Sites”). Not all of them have adopted this policy. Individual LCMI Sites may adopt different privacy policies that fit transactions taking place on that LCMI Site. If a LCMI Site has its own privacy policy, the provisions of that policy will control if it conflicts with this general policy. Also, some LCMI Sites are intended to facilitate interaction with other businesses, and may not adopt a privacy policy for individuals. Users of those Sites should check with their employer regarding the employer’s arrangements with LCMI and applicable privacy practices.
What about external links?
For the convenience of our Site visitors, LCMI may provide links to third party web sites that are external to LCMI. These websites are not operated or controlled by LCMI, and LCMI is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such external websites.
How do we keep current?
From time to time, LCMI may revise this Privacy Policy at its discretion. We note the date of the policy below, so you know when it was last updated. LCMI advises you to check back periodically to review the Privacy Policy because users of the Site will be prospectively bound by the then-current version of this Privacy Policy.
