We understand the importance of your privacy and strive to take all reasonable efforts to be transparent about what information we collect about you and to safeguard that information against intrusion or misuse. Except as required by a court or other lawful order, we will never re-distribute your information outside of our network, nor sell personal information collected on our web servers.

This privacy policy details the ways in which we collect information about you, what information we collect, and what we do with that information. You can always visit this page for the most up-to-date version of this privacy policy.

Collection and Use of Information

We collect two types of information from our visitors: anonymous information and personal information.

Anonymous Information

You do not have to provide any personal information to use many of the features of this website. However, your web browser or application may automatically provide certain information about you (“anonymous information”), such as your IP address, which may include your geographic location; details about browser software, operating system, and device; access dates and times; and referring and exiting URLs.

We use this information, both individually and in the aggregate, to help us understand how visitors use our site and to improve our content and your experience visiting our site. We may retain this type of information indefinitely, or to the extent permissible by law.

Personal Information

Our website contains certain features, such as contact forms, where you have the option to affirmatively provide information about yourself (“personal information”). You may be asked to provide personal information, including your name, address, email address, and telephone number(s). You have no obligation to use these features of our website. If you choose to provide us with personal information by submitting a contact form on this website, we may use that information to contact you back, to triage, intake, and respond to your inquiry, and to improve subsequent communications with you, if any. We may also use your voluntarily submitted personal information to keep you informed of LINU news and events, but only if you opt in to that type of use (see Removal of Information and Opting Out section, below). We will seek your affirmative consent before using your personal information for any purpose other than those described in this policy.

While we take all reasonable efforts to safeguard your information transmitted on the internet, including via the contact forms on our website, we cannot fully guarantee that such information is secure and it should not be considered confidential. The submission of a form on our website does not constitute attorney–client communication and does not create an attorney–client relationship.

Do not disclose confidential information, including any information that may expose you to civil or criminal liability, via contact forms on this website.

We may retain information collected from contact forms indefinitely, or to the extent permissible by law.

Use of Cookies

We use “cookies” (small data files) to improve our website’s functionality and our visitors’ experience. These cookies do not identify you personally or give us access to your computer. You can disable cookies in your browser or application settings, but doing so may result in reduced website functionality. By visiting our website and not disabling cookies, you consent to our use of cookies for the purposes described in this policy.

We use a third-party analytics provider (Google Analytics) to help us understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about our visitors, but it does not receive personally identifiable information through these cookies and is prohibited from combining, matching, or cross-referencing information from our site with any other information. You can review the Google Analytics privacy policy for additional information.

Distribution of Collected Information

We will not disclose, without your consent, personal information collected about you, unless we are required to do so for compliance with applicable law or legal process, or otherwise as described in this Policy. We will not distribute personal information to any organizations or persons outside of LINU except to other organizations that provide specific services for us. We will provide only the personal information necessary for the third party to provide these services for us. These organizations may not use personal information except for the purpose of providing these services and otherwise in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

Do Not Track Requests

We do not respond or otherwise take any action with regard to “Do Not Track” requests.

Third Parties and External Links

Some pages on our website may contain hyperlinks to websites of third parties. We take no responsibility for third-party content or websites, nor for any information you disclose to third parties by visiting their websites.

Access, Removal of Information and Opting Out

Upon request LINU will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. If you would like to review, delete or update your information, you may contact us using the contact information below.

Users seeking to opt out of receiving communications from LINU may choose to stop receiving our newsletter or other emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails.
