Information We Collect Automatically

We also collect certain information automatically from you. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on the Services and hold certain information. Cookies are files with small amounts of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. Tracking technologies also used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze the Services.

We and the third parties we work with use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your use of the Services, such as your IP address, browser type, browser version, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by us and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on the Services and other websites, provide customer support, troubleshoot issues with and improve the operation of our Sites and Services, and better understand your online activity.
For example, we use Google Analytics, which is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with our Services. Like many services, Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions, as in our case, where they are used to collect information about how users use our Services. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve our Sites. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our Services. For more information on how Google collects and processes data click here.

If you do not want a cookie placed on your hard drive or mobile device, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer or mobile device. Please consult your Internet browser’s documentation for information on how to do this. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, the Sites and/or Services may not function properly.

DO NOT TRACK

THIRD PARTY WEBSITE AND LINKS

Our Sites may contain links to other sites operated by third parties. Lakou Kajou does not control such other sites and is not responsible for their content, their privacy policies, or their use of personal information. Lakou Kajou inclusion of such links does not imply any endorsement of the content on such sites or of their owners or operators except as disclosed through the Services. Any information submitted by you directly to these third parties is subject to that third party’s privacy policy.
We expressly disclaim any and all liability for the actions of third parties, including but without limitation to actions relating to the use and/or disclosure of personal information by third parties.

PAYMENTS

We use third-party services for payment processing (e.g., payment processors). We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy. These payment processors adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) as managed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

We do not seek or knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 without obtaining consent from the child’s parent or guardian. To the extent you wish to enable your child to use the Services, you must create an account for the child in accordance with our Terms of Use and provide consent for us to collect such information from your child. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected personal information from a child under 13 years of age without such consent, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.
If you are the parent or guardian of a minor child who has provided us with personal information, you may contact us using the information below to request it be deleted.

DATA SECURITY, INTEGRITY AND RETENTION

Please note that information you send to us electronically may not be secure when it is transmitted to us. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us. Please be aware that, despite our efforts to implement security controls, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We will retain your personal information for the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or for legitimate businesses purposes, or as provided by law.
