Using of Your Personal Information On Our Website

As is true of most websites, we gather some Personal Information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include the Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, language, internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit page, operating system, and date/time stamp. In addition to the purposes above, we use this Personal Information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the Websites, to learn about user behavior on the Websites and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. To monitor use of the Websites and improve its quality, we may compile statistical information concerning the use of the Websites through analytics services, such as those provided by Google Analytics for Display Advertisers and Google Display Network (DoubleClick). Examples of this information may include: the number of visitors to the Websites or to sections or pages within the Websites, patterns of traffic flowing through the Websites, length of time spent on the Websites, or in sections or pages of the Websites, the other sites that refer visitors to the Website, the pages of the Websites that visitors frequently use as entry and exit points, utilization of the browser and operating systems and versions used by visitors to the Websites. The data collected may be used to display banner advertisements and other advertising tailored to your interests when you visit certain websites. We also may use this Personal Information in our marketing and advertising services.

We may use various kinds of software devices to collect Personal Information about use of our Websites. Small files called “cookies” may be attached to your Web browser. These files identify your browser and save information such as passwords, pages visited, time, and time spent on the Websites so that our Websites can recognize you, facilitate site navigation and personalize your experience. It also allows us to select which of our advertisements and offers are most likely to appeal to you. You can set your browser to disable cookies, but some portions of the Websites (and possibly other sites) may not work properly if you do.  We may also use a pixel tag, a transparent graphic image sometimes known as a web beacon, to review how visitors navigate the Websites; a pixel tag may tell your browser to get contact from another server. Network publishing companies and publishers are not permitted to collect Personal Information directly from the Websites. If you would like more information about this practice, and your choices and how they relate to this practice, please contact us.

The Websites may use social media plugins (e.g. Facebook and LinkedIn) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit our Websites the operator of the social plugin can place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our Websites.   If you are logged into the social media website (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) while browsing our Websites, the social plugins allow that social media website to share data about your activities on our Websites with other users of their social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins allow Facebook to show your likes and comments on our pages to your Facebook friends. Facebook Social Plugins also allow you to see your friends’ Facebook activity on our website. We do not control any of the content from the social media plugins. For more information about social plugins from other media websites you should refer to those sites’ privacy and data/information sharing statements/policies.

IMPORTANT: By using the Websites, you consent to the processing of any Personal Information provided or collected for the analytics purposes and functions described above.

Opting Out

You may always direct us not to share your Personal Information with third parties, not to use your Personal Information to provide you with information or offers, or not to send you newsletters, e-mails or other communications by: (i) sending us an e-mail at info@leanstreamrp.com with the word “Remove” as the subject header; (ii) calling us at 1 -833 – 943-4463; or (iii) following the removal instructions in the communication that you receive. Your opt-out request will be processed within thirty (30) days of the date on which we receive it.

You can find out more about how Google uses cookies in advertising and opt-out via the following links: Google Display Network (DoubleClick) & Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

If you wish to verify, correct, or update any of your personal information collected through the Websites, you may contact us at the above address or e-mail.

In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records that contain Personal Information you have submitted through the Websites. We are under no obligation to store such Personal Information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such Personal Information. In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some residual data because of backups and other reasons.

Do Not Track

“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your Internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about you. However, because our Websites are not configured to detect Do Not Track signals from a user’s computer, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track requests.

Our Websites and Children

We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from children under 13 years of age. We are concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet and will never knowingly request Personal Information from anyone under the age of 13. If the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided us with any Personal Information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us and ask to have this Personal Information deleted from our files. If we otherwise obtain knowledge that we have Personal Information about a child under 13 in our files, we will delete that information from our existing files so that it is not in retrievable form.

Security

While we use reasonable measures to protect our Websites and your information, the Internet is never 100% secure. The measures we use are appropriate for the type of information we collect. We cannot guarantee use of our Websites or mobile applications are 100% secure. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet.

Applicable Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Jurisdiction for any claims arising under, or out of, this Privacy Policy shall lie exclusively with the state and federal courts within the State of Alabama. If any provision of this Privacy Policy is found to be invalid by a court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Privacy Policy, which shall remain in full force and effect.

This section of the Privacy Policy (“California Policy”) supplements and amends the information contained in our Privacy Policy with respect to California residents. This California Policy applies solely to individuals, visitors, users, and others that are natural persons and residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). THIS ADDENDUM TO THE PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO USERS THAT ARE NOT NATURAL PERSONS OR ARE NOT CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.

The California Policy describes LeanStream’s policies and practices regarding the Personal Information we collect, use, and disclose about you, including Personal Information you submit or we obtain when you access the Websites and other sources. This California Policy is adopted in part to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

Any terms defined within the CCPA have the same meaning when utilized within this California Policy. The other provisions of the Privacy Policy continue to apply except as modified in this California Policy.

Note, however, that Personal Information as used in this California Policy does not include:

  • Publicly available information from government records
  • De-identified or aggregated consumer information
  • Information excluded from the CCPA’s scope, such as personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act of 1994

Consumer Rights

Pursuant to the CCPA, and as detailed below, consumers have various rights with respect to their Personal Information.

  • Request to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information from our records and direct any service providers to delete your Personal Information from their records, subject to certain exceptions. Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will delete and direct any service providers to delete your personal information from our records, subject to the exceptions provided by law.

LeanStream is not required to comply with your request to delete your Personal Information if it is necessary for us (or its service provider) to maintain your Personal Information in order to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between LeanStream and you.
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
  3. Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when LeanStream’s deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you have provided informed consent.
  7. To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with LeanStream.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Otherwise use your Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the Personal Information.

Upon receipt of a confirmed verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests.

If you are under the age of eighteen (18), and a registered user of any Website where this California Policy is posted, California law permits you to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. You may submit your request using the contact information in the Privacy Policy. Please be aware that such a request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information you have posted and that there may be circumstances in which the law does not require or allow removal even if requested.

  • Request to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose the following to you as it relates to the 12-month period preceding its receipt of your verifiable consumer request:

  1. The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you
  2. The categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected
  3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information
  4. The categories of Personal Information we disclosed for a business purpose
  5. The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information
  6. The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you

Upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request (see below), and as required by the CCPA, we will provide a response to such requests.

In addition to the CCPA, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by certain members of LeanStream to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Consumers that have provided their Personal Information to us may request information about our disclosures of certain categories of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Such request must be submitted to us by calling 1 -833 – 943-4463 or by submitting a request here. Please mention in your call that you are making a “California Shine the Light” inquiry. Within forty- five (45) days of receiving such a request, we will provide a list of the categories of such Personal Information disclosed to third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. This request may be made no more than twice per calendar year. We reserve our right not to respond to requests submitted other than to the address specified in this paragraph.

  • Nondiscrimination

We will not discriminate against you in violation of the CCPA for exercising any of your CCPA rights. For example, we generally will not provide you a different level or quality of goods or services if you exercise your rights under the CCPA.

Submitting Consumer Rights Requests

To submit any of the Consumer Rights requests as outlined above, please contact us at 1 -833 – 943-4463 or by submitting a request here.

We reserve the right to only respond to verifiable consumer requests. A verifiable consumer request is one made by any individual that is:

  1. The consumer who is the subject of the request
  2. A consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child
  • By a natural person or person registered with the California Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a consumer

If we request, you must provide us with sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of the consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive Personal Information to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. However, making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. Personal Information collected from an individual to determine whether a request is a verifiable consumer request may not be used or disclosed for any other purpose except as required by law. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt, but we may require an extension of up to forty-five (45) additional calendar days to respond and we will notify you of the need for the extension.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. To the extent permitted by the CCPA, we will respond to no more than two requests during any 12-month period.

You may authorize a natural person or a business registered with the California Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to the right under this California Policy. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify the authorized agent’s identity with us. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization.
