The Lore Institute is committed to protecting your privacy and implementing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience.  This Statement of Privacy applies to the Lore Institute Web site and governs data collection and usage.  By using the Lore Institute website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.


Collection of your Personal Information

The Lore Institute collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home, or work address, or telephone number.  The Lore Institute also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, preferences, interests, and favorites.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through the Lore Institute forums and blogs, this information may be collected and used by others.  Note: The Lore Institute does not read any of your private online communications.

The Lore Institute encourages you to review the privacy statements of web sites you choose to link to from The Lore Institute so that you can understand how those web sites collect, use and share your information.  The Lore Institute is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on web sites outside of the Lore Institute and the Lore Institute family of web sites.


Security of your Personal Information

The Lore Institute secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.  The Lore Institute secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.  When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.


Changes to this Statement

The Lore Institute will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback.  The Lore Institute encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how The Lore Institute is protecting your information.


Use of your Personal Information

The Lore Institute collects and uses your personal information to operate the Lore Institute web site and deliver the services you have requested.  The Lore Institute also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from The Lore Institute.  The Lore Institute may also contact you via surveys and questionnaires to conduct research about your opinion and views of current services, potential news services or specific topics to enhance education and training.

The Lore Institute does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. The Lore Institute may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you.  In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.  In addition, the Lore Institute may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.  All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to the Lore Institute, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

The Lore Institute does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

The Lore Institute keeps track of the web sites and pages our customers visit within The Lore Institute, in order to determine what the Lore Institute services are the most popular.  This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within the Lore Institute to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

The Lore Institute web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on The Lore Institute or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the Lore Institute; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of The Lore Institute, or the public.
