Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2, 2023

Overview

Laketta (“Laketta”, “we”, or “us”) values the privacy of our customers and is committed to using their information responsibly. This Privacy Policy outlines the information we collect, how it is used and protected, and how it is shared when you use www.laketta.com (collectively, the “Website”) and any of our services that are available through the Website (collectively, the “Services”). The information collected includes both technical data automatically obtained from all Website visitors and users of the Services (“Passive Data Collection”) and information voluntarily submitted by you or others (“User-Submitted Information”).

By using the Website and the Services, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue using the Website and the Services.

Notice of Information We Collect and How We Use It

“Personal Information” is defined as information that can be used to directly identify an individual, such as a name or email address, and any information that is directly linked to such identifying information. Our primary purpose for collecting Personal Information is to provide a safe, efficient, and personalized experience for our customers. We only collect Personal Information that we believe is necessary to achieve this purpose.

Passive Data Collection

Laketta automatically tracks certain information based on your behavior on the Website. This information is used to conduct internal research on our customers’ demographics, interests, and behaviors, helping us to better understand, protect, and serve you and our community.

Log Files

Similar to other websites, Laketta automatically receives and records information about user behavior on the Website and when using our Services. This information, including IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data, is stored in log files and automatically gathered by our servers.

We use this information to analyze trends, improve the Services, track user movements on the Website, and make informed decisions about inventory purchasing to better serve our customer base. Our Website may also use devices that allow us to count visits to certain pages and gather other related website statistics, such as tracking the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity.

If Passive Data Collection is combined with Personal Information, it will be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy. Otherwise, Passive Data Collection is used in aggregated forms.

Cookies and Clear GIFs Usage

At Laketta, we use cookies and other tracking technologies on our Website and Services to provide a more personalized and user-friendly experience. This usage is limited to our company only, and does not include the practices of any third-party advertisers.

The types of cookies we utilize on our site can include session cookies, persistent cookies, or more advanced technology such as HTML5 or Media Stamp. Session cookies expire once the user closes their browser, while persistent cookies remain on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. However, users have the option to configure their browsers to prevent cookies from being set on their computer. Rejecting cookies may limit the use of certain features on our Website and Services.

Our partners may also use similar cookies and other technologies, including Flash cookies, which are a form of persistent cookies known as Local Shared Objects. These cookies are stored in multiple places and can be restored even after deletion. Users can check with their browsers' site for the most up-to-date information on how to delete Flash cookies. HTML5 or Media Stamp technology also has a local storage feature that allows for quicker access to our Website during future visits.

Additionally, we use clear gifs, also referred to as web beacons or pixel tags, to manage content on our Website and track its effectiveness. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track the online movements of users. Unlike cookies which are stored on a user's computer, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages.

We also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to track which ones have been opened by the recipient, allowing us to gauge the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and communications. If you prefer to opt-out of these emails, please refer to the "Choice / Opt-out" section of our Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Advertisers

Third-party advertising companies may use anonymous data, such as clickstream information, browser type, time, and date of clicks or scrolls, to display advertisements related to goods and services that may be of interest to you. This data collection is typically performed using a cookie or a web beacon and does not include personal information. For further information on cookies, web beacons, and opting out of third-party data collection, please refer to the "Cookies and Clear GIFs" and "Choice/Opt-out" sections of this Privacy Policy.
