At LA Link, protecting your privacy is very important. We want to make your experience on the Internet as comfortable and rewarding as possible, and we want you to make use of the Internet’s vast array of information, tools and opportunities with complete confidence.

We’ve created this statement to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and security, and to let you know about the processes we use. The statement discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices we use on our Web sites( www.LALink.net )

User information
When users visit the pages of the LA Link sites, they may be asked to give us contact information, such as their names and email addresses. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services.

Our online surveys ask users for contact information (such as their email addresses) and demographic information (such as zip codes, age, or income levels). We use contact data from our surveys to send information about our company to our users. We use demographic and profile data to tailor our sites and display content according to our users’ interests and preferences. This information is shared with advertisers only on an aggregate basis. We do not share any personal information about our users. We run contests on our sites in which we ask users for contact information, such as their email addresses. The customer’s contact information is used to contact the user when necessary.

In all cases above, users may opt out of receiving future mailings that may result from providing email addresses. See the Choice to Opt Out section, below.

Our sites may also record the user’s IP address, which helps us diagnose problems with our server and administer our Web site. Your IP address also is used to gather broad demographic information.

Public Forums
Please remember that any information that you disclose in LA Link’s Member Directory, or other public areas of the Internet, becomes public information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information.

Security
Our sites have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
