The LDC Custom Website
Designs Privacy Statement
This privacy statement discloses
the privacy practices for
LDC. Custom Website Designs
We respect your privacy!
Any and all information
collected on this site will be
kept strictly confidential and
will not be sold, reused,
rented, disclosed, or loaned!
Any information you give to us
will be held with the utmost
care and will not be used in
ways that you have not consented
to. If you have any questions,
please feel free to call or
email us.
Information Collection
and Use
The LDC Custom Website Designs
is the sole owner of the
information collected on this
site. We will not sell, share,
or rent this information to
others in ways different from
what is disclosed in this
statement. The LDC Custom
Website Designs collects
information from our users at
several different points on our
website.
Order
We request information from the
user on our order form. Here a
user must provide contact
information (like name and
shipping address) and financial
information (like credit card
number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer’s
orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this
contact information is used to
get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data
stored on the user’s hard drive
containing information about the
user. Usage of a cookie is in no
way linked to any personally
identifiable information while
on our site. Once the user
closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance,
by setting a cookie on our site,
the user would not have to log
in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while on our
site. If a user rejects the
cookie, they may still use our
site. The only drawback to this
is that the user will be limited
in some areas of our site. For
example, the user will not be
able to participate in any of
our Sweepstakes, Contests or
monthly Drawings that take
place. Cookies can also enable
us to track and target the
interests of our users to
enhance the experience on our
site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze
trends, administer the site,
track user’s movement, and
gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable
information in any way.
Sharing
We use an outside shipping
company to ship orders, and a
credit card processing company
to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not
retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable
information for any secondary
purposes. We partner with
another party to provide
specific services. When the user
signs up for these services, we
will share names, or other
contact information that is
necessary for the third party to
provide these services. These
parties are not allowed to use
personally identifiable
information except for the
purpose of providing these
services.
Links
This web site contains links to
other sites. Please be aware
that LDC Custom Website
Designs is not responsible
for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and
every web site that collects
personally identifiable
information. This privacy
statement applies solely to
information collected by this
Web site.
Security
This website takes every
precaution to protect our users’
information. When users submit
sensitive information via the
website, your information is
protected both online and
off-line. When our
registration/order form asks
users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card
number and/or social security
number), that information is
encrypted and is protected with
the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL. While on a
secure page, such as our order
form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked,
or open, when you are just
‘surfing’. While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do
everything in our power to
protect user-information
off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need
the information to perform a
specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are
granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our
employees must use
password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When
they return, they must re-enter
their password to re-gain access
to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are
kept up-to-date on our security
and privacy practices. Any time
new policies are added, our
employees are notified and/or
reminded about the importance we
place on privacy, and what they
can do to ensure our customers’
information is protected.
Finally, the servers that we
store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a
secure environment, behind
locked doors. If you have any
questions about the security at
our website please contact us..
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user
site and service announcement
updates. Members are not able to
un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain
important information about the
service. We communicate with the
user to provide requested
services and in regards to
issues relating to their account
via email or phone.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the
opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of
having their information used
for purposes not directly
related to our site at the point
where we ask for the
information. For example, our
order form has an ‘opt-out’
mechanism so users who buy a
product from us, but don’t want
any marketing material, can keep
their email address off of our
lists. Users who no longer wish
to receive any promotional
materials from us may opt-out of
receiving these communications
by logging into their account
and selecting not to receive
this information.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our
privacy policy, we will post
those changes on our Homepage so
our users are always aware of
what information we collect, how
we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally
identifiable information in a
manner different from that
stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users
by way of an email. Users will
have a choice as to whether or
not we use their information in
this different manner. We will
use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under
which the information was
collected. If you feel that this
company is not abiding by its
posted privacy policy, you
should contact customer
relations by emailing or calling
