PRIVACY STATEMENT

GENERAL

Lucas Education and its subsidiaries are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. We have structured our web sites so that, in general, you can visit Lucas Education on the Web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.

When you choose to provide personally identifiable information, we inquire as to whether or not sharing that information with selected third parties, or using it internally to target promotional offerings is acceptable to you. If you wish to keep your information entirely private, we will seek to use the information only to support your valued customer relationship with Lucas Education

This statement regarding the privacy of the personally identifiable information you provide online is intended to address the five foundation principles of fair information: Awareness, Choice, Accuracy & Access, Security, and Oversight.

AWARENESS

Lucas Education provides this Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy, practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and from the bottom of every Lucas Education web page.

What we collect...

On some Lucas Education web sites, you can order products or services, make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages are name, contact and billing information, transaction, and credit card information.

In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and services (including registration), we may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our products, and more detailed contact preferences. Some electronic newsletters record anonymous data about articles you have expressed interest in.

How we use your information...

Lucas Education uses your information to better understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate back to you, to update you on service and benefits, and to personalize our web sites for you. Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing and are not retained for other purposes.

From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing or market research contact.

Who we share information with...

Lucas Education will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others without your permission. Unless we have your permission or are required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide online with other Lucas Education entities and/or business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described in "how we use it". Such Lucas Education entities and/or business partners, including those in the United States and/or any other countries, are governed by our privacy policies with respect to the use of this data and are bound by the appropriate confidentiality agreements.

Data collected online may also be combined with information you provide when you register your ownership of Lucas Education products.

CHOICE

Lucas Education will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering you a choice. As previously stated, we will also provide you the opportunity to let us know if you do not wish to receive unsolicited direct marketing materials from us and we will do everything we can to honor such requests.

ACCURACY & ACCESS

Lucas Education strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate. We will make every reasonable effort to provide you with access to your information so that you may view, update or correct your information. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections.

Links to third party web sites on the site are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave the Lucas Education site. Lucas Education has not reviewed all of these third party sites and does not control and is not responsible for any of these sites, their content or their privacy policy. Thus, Lucas Education does not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to this site, you do so at your own risk.

SECURITY

Lucas Education is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.

HOW LUCAS EDUCATION SYSTEMS USES COOKIES

A cookie is a piece of text asking permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file. The purpose of a cookie is to help us analyze web traffic or let us know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow a web application to respond to you as an individual. By gathering and remembering information about your preferences, the web application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes and dislikes. For example, when you visit an electronic store, a cookie makes it easy to shop by allowing you to drop things into a shopping cart; the cart itself is not the cookie, the cookie is placed on your hard drive and keeps track of your cart versus others' in use at the same time.

Lucas Education uses traffic log cookies to identify what pages are being used and which ones aren't. This helps us aggregate and analyze data about web page traffic and make improvements to Lucas Education web sites to better meet customer needs. In this case, Lucas Education uses this information only for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. That is the case of many of our support and information-sharing pages and forums. Denial of a traffic log cookie should not prevent you from using one of these sites.

A few Lucas Education web sites use temporary cookies as part of the customer web navigation experience, tracking unique IDs for that particular web site session only. Examples are product registration sites. This cookie, by itself, only tells us that a previous Lucas Education visitor has returned. If you deny the cookie, you can still use the site anonymously. At Lucas Education shopping, you will receive a persistent cookie. Customers can browse with cookies turned off, but you can only purchase if you accept the cookie. Lucas Education InfoAgent uses cookie technology to assign and place an identifier unique only to you, placed on your computer. When you register for the subscription service, it ensures that you are accurately identified and linked with your registration data. The InfoAgent also uses a temporary "authentication" cookie to assure secure access to your personal information by you alone (completed with user name and password).

Overall, cookies help us give you a better web site to use, by letting us monitor what's working and what isn't through site traffic analysis. Lucas Education wants to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you, other than the data you chose to share with us. This practice is strictly enforced. We know that a lot of people have concerns about cookies, but in talking with many of our customers, we believe that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile. We value the relationships we have with our customers, so we respect these concerns. Lucas Education works to continuously improve the Lucas Education com web experience and personal data privacy policy and practices.

You may set your web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) to notify you of cookie placement requests or decline cookies completely. You can delete the files that contains cookies; those files are stored as part of your internet browser.
