Privacy Policy

This web site is owned and operated by La Crosse PC Users Group, a Wisconsin based organization, herin referred to as "The LCPC". The LCPC appreciates that you care how information about you is collected and shared, so The LCPC created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to disclose our current policies regarding your privacy and the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. In addition, we take further measures to enhance the protection of your privacy and personally identifiable information, as outlined in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy will also instruct you on what to do if you do not want your personal information collected or shared when you visit the web site.

Applicability of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is intended to apply to you, The LCPC, its affiliates and all Internet web sites owned and operated by The LCPC, including, but not limited to, this web site. This Privacy Policy is a statement of The LCPC's current policies with regard to how information about you is collected by The LCPC via the web site, used, and potentially shared by The LCPC.

Personally Identifiable Information Provided by You

Much of the web site is accessible to you without your providing personally identifiable information. However, The LCPC requires that you register and provide personally identifiable information to enable you to utilize certain features of the web site, including subscribing for or purchasing The LCPC's products or services and being issued a username or password in order to manage your account online. In addition, you may wish to submit your personally identifiable information to The LCPC in order to receive special offers from The LCPC or to contact us for technical support or other reasons. The LCPC will obtain your consent for any use of your personally identifiable information beyond the original use for which you provided it.

The personally identifiable information that The LCPC requests from you may include your name, address, email address, telephone number and credit card number. The personally identifiable information that you provide must be accurate, complete and current. The LCPC will specifically ask you for any personally identifiable information requested, and your provision of such information will always be on a voluntary basis.

In the event you decide to use our affiliate program you will be required to provide your Tax ID number before payments can be made. This Tax ID number will either be your business Tax ID number or your personal Social Security number. We are required by state and federal laws to obtain and store that information for any payments made to you directly. This information will only be shared with state and federal tax authorities only if requested and never shared with any other party.

The LCPC's Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information

The LCPC uses your personally identifiable information within The LCPC's internal organization to process any selections or orders that you may make using the web site.

We will share your personally identifiable information with: (i) credit card companies for processing your payments if you purchase our services; (ii) federal and state licensing agencies, as may be required by law or to assist in an ongoing investigation; and (iii) vendors whose products you order via the web site.

Otherwise, unless you specifically authorize The LCPC to do so, The LCPC does not currently loan, rent or sell your personally identifiable information to other third parties except for the original purpose for which you provided it. However, if all or substantially all of The LCPC's assets are purchased by a third party, The LCPC will share your personally identifiable information with the acquiring third party if and only if the acquiring third party has a substantially similar Privacy Policy.

The LCPC reserves the right to share or disclose your personally identifiable information when it determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of such personally identifiable information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against you if you are or may be: (i) causing intentional or unintentional injury to another; (ii) interfering with another's rights or property, including The LCPC's rights or property; (iii) violating any applicable law, rule or regulation; or (iv) such disclosure is required by any applicable law, rule or regulation.

Correcting, Updating or Changing Selections Regarding Your Personally Identifiable Information

Once you have provided personally identifiable information to The LCPC via the web site, you must inform The LCPC of any changes to, or updates of, any personally identifiable information that you provide. You may at any time request a copy of the personally identifiable information that you provided, elect to revoke ("opt-out") the information provided, update that information, or change any selections you have made with regard to use of that information.

In order to access, opt-out, update or change selections for use of, personally identifiable information that you provided, please contact The LCPC. The LCPC will accordingly provide you with your personally identifiable information, or change its records to remove, update or change selections regarding your personally identifiable information.

If you opt-out of providing your personally identifiable information, The LCPC will no longer use your personally identifiable information or share it with third parties and will take reasonable effort to remove it from our services. However, keep in mind that your opting-out of providing personally identifiable information may inhibit or cancel your ability to fully utilize the web site, to subscribe for The LCPC's services, to manage your The LCPC account, and to access or use some of the other features of the web site.
