LTFD is sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. This is our policy regarding the protection and dissemination of information that we gather online. By using this site, you are consenting to the practices described in this policy. Please review this policy carefully.

Information We Collect

Information Collected Upon Registration

LTFD collects a variety of different information, depending on how you use our site. First, LTFD collects information when you register at our site. For example, our registration form requires you to give us your name, email address and [list all required information] in addition we may request additional voluntary information. You may always choose not to provide such voluntary information to us. In addition, we may periodically conduct customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to understand the visitors to our site and to improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary. We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other customers to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.

Information Collected Through Our Web Site

LTFD also collect standard information when you visit our Web site. For example, we collect your IP address, which is a number that can be used to identify your location and Internet service provider. We use a technology called "cookies" to provide you with tailored information. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser which can then be stored on your system. This element of data is a piece of text, not a program. This cookie can identify your computer to us and may be correlated with identity information in our log files when you visit our site. We can only access the information from a cookie sent by our site. We cannot access other cookies sent by other Web sites or the information contained therein. Additionally, we cannot lean your email address or other information about you through the use of a cookie. The only way we could learn such information is if you specifically submit the information to us, for example, through registration.

Information Collected Through Email

We also collect information when we send and receive emails. For example, when we send emails to our registered users, we may provide a URL link to the LTFD site that contains an alphanumeric identifier, which allows us to identify the person to whom we sent the email so that we can personalize our content for that individual. We may also use pixel tags, or tiny graphic files not visible to the human eye, in our HTML-encoded email messages, to gather information about the emails we send to our users. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program, the recipient’s computer will access our server to retrieve the pixel tag file, allowing us to record and store, along with your email address, the date and time the recipient viewed the email, the fact that the recipient's email program is capable of receiving HTML-encoded email, and other standard logging information. The pixel tag also may see or read cookies.

How We Use The Information

Our Use of Information

We use the information we collect to operate the LTFD service by providing personalized content, advertising, and commercial messages to you. We may also use the information we collect to send you information about our company, as well as to inform you of products, services and special promotions which might be of interest to you. In addition, we may use the information if we need to contact you regarding the use of our service. In general, you can visit LTFD on the World Wide Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. LTFD uses this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site.

Our Use of IP Addresses

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. IP addresses may be disclosed to a third party if LTFD believes in good faith that the law or legal process requires it, or to protect the rights or property of LTFD or others.

Our Use of Cookies

We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, among other purposes. For your security, passwords saved using cookies will expire when you close your browser. As discussed in the next section, we may elect to use a third-party advertising company to display ads through our service. These advertisements may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies received with banner ads are collected by our advertising company, and we may not have access to this information. Likewise, some of our partners may use cookies. We do not control their use of cookies but may have access to the information contained in or related to those cookies. You may set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie.

Use of Your Information by Third-Parties

From time to time we may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and providing customer service. In these cases, these companies or individuals will have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes.

LTFD may also retain third-party advertising companies to place banner ads on our site and in email communications sent to our users. LTFD may correlate your information with information held by the advertising company to target ads to LTFD users most likely to be interested in them, which we believe improves the users’ experience and the effectiveness of the advertisements. The advertising company also may read or set cookies, track which ads you have viewed, or collect other information about you. The privacy practices of the advertising company, advertisers, and other companies are not covered by this privacy policy. Please contact those companies directly for more information about their privacy practices.

Information We Share

Some information we collect, such as your email address, may be used by us for our business partners benefit. In addition, third parties who offer services through our site may independently collect information about you. If you have questions about any third party’s data collection practices, we encourage you to contact them directly. Occasionally, we may make the e-mail addresses, of those who provide information, available to other reputable organizations whose products or services we think you may find interesting. [In these cases, you will be offered an opportunity to limit access to your information.] Additionally, if a third party acquires LTFD, or substantially all of its assets, your information may be one of the assets transferred to the third party.

Our Commitment

[Unless otherwise disclosed in this policy, LTFD will not edit or disclose your data or the contents of your private communications unless we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on LTFD; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of LTFD, including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction; or (3) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of its members or the public.
