Information We Collect
- INFORMATION WE COLLECT
- Information We Obtain About You. We receive and store any information you enter on the Site or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us
with certain information, though you may not be able to take advantage of many Site features. The personal information you provide may be used for such purposes
as responding to your questions or requests, customizing the content you see, and communicating with you about new Site features. If you send us personal
correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may
collect such information into a file specific to you. You agree that we may use your personal information to contact you as provided herein, though our intent
is that email is the only channel we will use to contact you without your consent Information we receive directly from you, we receive Personal Data directly
from you when you provide us with such Personal Data, including without limitation the following:
- A unique account identifier for the purpose of providing and improving the Sites;
- Contact information, such as name, phone number, and email and postal address;
- The geolocation of your mobile device if you consent to the collection of this data;
Diagnostic technical, usage and related information, including but not limited to information about your computer, operating system, system and application software, and peripherals, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of the Sites to you. - Other personal information contained in content you submit to us, such as through our “Contact Us” feature or customer support tools on our websites or mobile apps.
- Information We Obtain by Automated Means. Browsing the Site does not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us. In
general, Levatas will gather some generic information automatically. This generic information may include the internet address assigned to your computer, the
number and frequency of visitors to the Site, the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this
URL is on the Site or not), and your computer browser information. Generic information does not reveal the identity of the visitor. This type of aggregate data
may enable us to figure out how often users use parts of the Site, help us determine customer Site and Site needs, and do internal research on our users’
demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. Levatas may use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a
statistical measure, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information, not
information about you personally, to our partners about how our users, collectively, use our Site. We use analytics to help analyze how our users use the Sites.
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often our users visit the Sites, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to
coming to the Sites. We may use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Sites or to send you promotional messages about our Sites. Google
Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Sites, but not your name or other personally identifying information. We do not
combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with any personally identifying information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent
Cookie to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share
information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You
may find additional information about Google Analytics at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. Information we automatically collect when you
use our Site: Some Personal Data is automatically collected when you use our Site, such as the following:
- IP address
- Device identifiers
- Web browser information
- Page view statistics
- Browsing history
- Usage information
- Cookies and other tracking technologies (e.g. web beacons, pixel tags, SDKs, etc.)
- Location information (e.g. IP address, zip code)
- Log data (e.g. access times, hardware and software information)
- Cookies. When you visit the Site, we may send one or more “cookies” to your computer hard drive through your Web browser. A cookie is a small file containing a string of information that a website stores on your computer, and that the your browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Any use of cookies by us will be solely for the purposes of improving the quality of access to the Site by storing user preferences, and tracking user trends, such as how people use the Site, and their Site access preferences. Cookies tell us how and when pages in our Site are visited and by how many people. We use cookies to allow you to enter your login information less frequently. To the extent Levatas uses cookies, such cookies do not collect Personal Data, and we do not combine your Personal Data through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your username or e-mail address is. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on the Site and you may be required to reenter your password or login information more frequently. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the Site. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. We recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because deleting cookies may reduce the functionality of Levatas. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties.

- Third-Party Analytics Sites. We use third-party web analytics sites on our Site. The website providers that administer these Sites use automated technologies to collect data (such as email and IP addresses) to evaluate use of our Site.
- Online Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising. On our Site, we may collect information about your online activities to provide you with advertising about products and websites tailored to your interests. This section of our Privacy Notice provides details and explains how to exercise your choices. You may see our ads on other websites or mobile apps because we participate in advertising networks. Ad networks allow us to target our messaging to users considering demographic data, users’ inferred interests and browsing context. These networks track users’ online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other similar technologies. The networks use this information to show ads that may be tailored to individuals’ interests, to track users’ browsers or devices across multiple websites, and to build a profile of users’ online browsing activities. The information our ad networks may collect includes data about users’ visits to websites that participate in the relevant ad networks, such as the pages or ads viewed and the actions taken on the websites. This data collection takes place both on our websites and on third-party websites that participate in the ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Our websites are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals received from browsers. To learn how to opt out of ad network interest-based advertising in the U.S., please visit www.aboutads.info/choices, http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/, and http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/.

- For this section, we use the terms “Personal Data” and “processing” as they are defined in the GDPR, but “Personal Data” generally means information that can be

How We Protect Personal Information. We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software to protect the security of your personal information during transmission, which encrypts all of the information you input. All personal information collected from other Platform Sites that you provide through the use of the Site is stored securely. Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer Site representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example, we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. - Policies for Children. We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 16. If you are under 16, please do not attempt to register for the Site or send any Personal Data about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data from a child under age 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us Personal Data, please contact us at insert email address

In some cases, we may also need to you to provide us with additional information, which may include Personal Data, if necessary, to verify your identity and the nature of your request.
