LavaLinx is owned and operated by Lavaball, Inc. When you're visiting the LavaLinx site, we don't want you to worry that we will misuse the information you share with us about yourself. It is important to us that all of our customers understand what information we gather about them, how we use it, and how we work to protect it. By using the LavaLinx service and this website, you consent to the information practices described in this policy. Keep in mind that your use of the LavaLinx service is also subject to, and controlled by, the LavaLinx Customer Agreement.

Information Collection
Personally Identifiable Information is information that can be used to locate you, contact you, or determine your specific identity. When other information is linked to Personally Identifiable Information, it also becomes Personally Identifiable Information.
LavaLinx collects Personally Identifiable Information from you in several ways:

1. When you register for the LavaLinx Service, we ask you for basic registration information, such as your name, company, web site address, email address, phone, fax, and other basic contact information ("Registration Information").
2. When you place an order or subscribe to a product through the LavaLinx service, we may collect the appropriate billing information, including your credit card number, expiration date, and billing address ("Billing Information"). This information is associated with your Registration Information in a database and will be kept for future purchases.
3. We may ask you for voluntary personal information at other times, including but not limited to when you provide opinions, enter a contest or promotion, or report a problem with the LavaLinx service ("Optional Information").
4. When you submit a request for more information or assistance, LavaLinx will keep a record of the request and the manner in which it was processed ("Customer Service Information").

In addition to the collection of Personally Identifiable Information, we may also automatically receive and record information in our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, your computer's name, the type and version of your web browser, referrer addresses, and other generally-accepted log information.

LavaLinx may or may not use a third party to send email, however, your personally Identifiable information will never be disclosed or shared with another party without your explicit permission as required by law.

If your link trading contacts choose to use our service, we will ask for that new contact’s name and email address. We will automatically send that contact a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. LavaLinx stores this Information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.

Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information

In general, we will not disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to unaffiliated third parties without your express consent. If we seek your consent to disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to a third party, we will do so unambiguously, explaining precisely what information we seek to disclose, the entity to whom we wish to disclose it, and the purpose for the disclosure.

There are, however, some limited circumstances in which we may need to disclose Personally Identifiable Information about a user, and we want you to know about them:

We may employ other companies to perform functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, providing customer service, sending mail, processing credit card payments, or other functions necessary to our business. We may need to share your Personally Identifiable Information to these companies. However, we will provide them with only that information necessary to perform their functions, and will not allow them to use that information for any other purpose.

Responses to requests for information necessary to provide you with the products you purchase or subscribe to through the LavaLinx service may contain Personally Identifiable Information. LavaLinx will provide the authors of such products the information you supply in response to those requests. The information practices of those publishers are not covered by this privacy policy. Your name, address, phone number, and email address, will not be shared with the Authors.

We may reveal a user's identity (or whatever information we know about that individual) if we believe that user is harming or interfering with other LavaLinx users, anyone else, or violating (either intentionally or unintentionally) our Customer Agreement or infringing any of LavaLinx's legal rights.

LavaLinx will reveal information, including Personally Identifiable Information, to the extent it reasonably believes it is required to do so by law. If we receive legal process calling for the disclosure of any of your personally identifiable information we will, if permitted by law, attempt to notify you via the e-mail address you supplied during registration within a reasonable amount of time before we respond to the request.

LavaLinx may transfer information it collects, including any Personally Identifiable Information, in connection with a sale of all or most of the assets of the company. Should your Personally Identifiable Information be transfered as the result of such sale, you will be notified via email.

Use and Disclosure of Anonymous Information

Anonymous Information is any information collected from you or by the LavaLinx service, other than Personally Identifiable Information, including aggregate information derived from Personally Identifiable Information.

LavaLinx may use Anonymous Information to improve the LavaLinx website and service, to monitor traffic and general usage patterns, and for other general business purposes.

LavaLinx may disclose Anonymous Information to third parties for a variety of business reasons, including to publishers to inform them as to what content is appealing to their readers, to advertisers to inform them of the usage habits or characteristics of the interested audience, and to potential investors so that they may better understand LavaLinx's user base, etc.

Anonymous Information will not include any Personally Identifiable Information and LavaLinx will not disclose any Personally Identifiable Information except as expressly stated elsewhere in this policy.

Changing or Removing Information

LavaLinx wants to ensure that you have appropriate control over your Personally Identifiable Information. You can change your Registration or Customer Information through the LavaLink Site Admin.

If at any time you would like to delete your Registration Billing Information you can send an e-mail request to support@LavaLinx.com. After receiving your request, such information will be deleted assuming (i) you are current with all payment obligations; (ii) LavaLinx does not believe it is reasonably necessary to keep such information for any pending legal action; and (iii) we are under no other legal obligation to retain such information. If such information is deleted, however, any unfulfilled subscriptions will be canceled without refund and you will have to re-register with LavaLinx in order to use the LavaLinx service.

Since Anonymous Information is by its very nature non-personally identifying, we have no way to locate Anonymous Information obtained by your use of the service. In addition, Anonymous Information is often aggregated. Therefore, we cannot remove Anonymous Information obtained from you or as a result of your usage of the website or service.

Security

We employ reasonable and current security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information.

Your personal data will be stored within a database that is located behind a firewall for added security. The server housing the database is physically protected at a secure, third party site.

No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Any transmission to the LavaLinx website or service of Personally Identifiable Information and credit card information uses SSL encryption.
