Online Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement is to inform you how LTA gathers and uses your
personal and non-personal information when you visit our web site. LTA reserves
the right to change this Privacy Statement at any time by notifying visitors
to this web site of the existence of a new Privacy Statement.
This Privacy Statement will let you know:
1. What Personal Information is Collected From You
We do not collect personal information about you unless you specifically
and knowingly provide such information to us.
Instances where we may collect such information include:
- where you have entered one of our contest promotions;
- where you have subscribed to our newsletter; or
- where you have disclosed personally identifiable information on bulletin boards,
online classified sections, or in the chat areas of our web sites.
We endeavor only to collect personal information necessary in the circumstances.
In the above-mentioned instances, personal information collected may include
your name, address, phone number, birth date, and e-mail address.
Collection of Information Through Username/Password System
Some LTA websites ask you to provide us with the above-mentioned personal information
along with a username and password. This username and password allows you
to participate in certain online activities such as contests, promotions,
product ordering or online classified advertisements. When it is necessary
to contact you in connection with a particular online activity, this username
and password is cross-referenced against the personal information you provided
when you initially registered for the username and password.
If you do not use your username and password for a
period of six (6) months, we will email you a notice advising you of such
expiration. If you do not notify us that you wish to keep your username and password active,
they will be deleted from our databases along with your personal information.

2. How Your Personal Information Is Used by LTA
Personal Information is only used by LTA for the purposes stated at
the time of collection or as otherwise set out in this section.
If you have participated in an online activity, your personal information
will only be used for the purposes of that online activity, unless you otherwise
provide us with your consent. We may ask for your permission to use your personal
information for other purposes, for example, to send you an email newsletter
or for marketing purposes. We will only use this information for these purposes
if you have provided us with consent by "opting-in" on the online form. If you
have entered and won one of our contests, your name,
likeness and city of residence may be published by us and/or our sponsors.
Please check with specific contest rules for details.
Non-personal aggregate information may also be extracted or compiled from
the information we collect. Such information may be used to generate statistics
and aggregate reports for internal use by LTA and its affiliates, subsidiaries,
licensees, successors, assigns, suppliers and advertisers. In this instance,
these statistics and reports will contain only aggregated and no personally
identifiable information. Your identity is kept strictly anonymous.
When you voluntarily disclose information on the bulletin boards or in
the forum and chat areas of our web sites, your personal and other information
disclosed in your communication shall become public information and can be
collected and used by outside parties. Such activities are beyond the control
of LTA.

3. What "Cookies" Are and How They Are Used
"Cookies" are simple text files that web
browsers place on computer hard drives when sites are visited. Cookies cannot
damage files, nor can they read information from a user's hard drive. The cookie,
by itself, doesn't tell us your email address or who you are. When you participate
in our activities, we do not store any personal information within cookies,
nor do we link or combine information collected through cookies to any personal
information submitted online. LTA uses cookies to help us measure the number
of visits, average time spent, page views, and other statistics relating to
use of our sites. As a convenience for users, LTA also uses cookies to remember
non-personally identifiable user-names so that the need for multiple log-ins
is eliminated.
Please note certain features on our sites may not function if you do
not accept cookies.
Log data collected on web servers supplies LTA with aggregate information
about the number of visits to different pages on our site. LTA uses such aggregate
information to improve access to content based on visitors' browsers and operating
system types to make our content available to as many visitors as possible.
We do not link the log data collected to any personal information submitted
online.

4. With Whom Your Information Is Shared
In some instances, we use outside parties to administer contests, promotions
and other online activities on our behalf. This may involve the collection
of personal information. In such cases, we ensure that the way in which any
outside party collects and retains personal information conforms to our privacy
regime.
There may also be instances in which we are required by law to provide
personal information without your consent. Such instances include emergency
situations, or where required by governmental or other legal order.
Other than as indicated above, we will not sell, rent, share or otherwise
make available your personal information to any outside parties without your
consent. In such a case, we will tell you for what purpose such information
will be disclosed and we will ask for your consent to "opt-in". If you
want to share your personal information, you will have to respond affirmatively.
If you do not respond, by default, we will assume that you do not want to be
involved and your information will not be sold, rented, shared with or otherwise
made available to outside parties.

5. How You Can Update, Access or Delete Your PersonalInformation

me" in the subject line.

6. How LTA Protects the Privacy of Children
We will not knowingly collect or retain any personal information of visitors
to our websites who are under the age of 13, unless we obtain parental or legal
guardian consent. Such information will never be sold, rented, shared or otherwise
made available to outside parties without parental or legal guardian consent
unless we are required to do so by court, governmental or other legal order.
We encourage and support the efforts of parents and legal guardians of children
to monitor their children's internet usage and to caution them against providing
personal information to any website without their permission.
