PRIVACY POLICY
Revised January, 2015
Thank you for visiting this LAV Imports (also referred to as “we“, “us,” and “our”) website. We know that
you care how information about you is used and shared, and we want to keep your trust that we will do
so carefully and sensibly. This Privacy Policy describes our information practices. By visiting our site, you
are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy
before you submit any personal information on this website.
WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT CUSTOMERS DO WE GATHER?
PERSONAL INFORMATION
To simply browse our website, we do not ask you to provide any personal information. However, if you
wish to participate in many of the features and services offered on our website, we may ask you to
provide certain personally identifiable and/or demographic information.
Personally identifiable information, as used in this Privacy Policy, refers to any information that can be
used to personally identify you or contact you. This may include, for example, your name, postal address,
e-mail address, and telephone number, as well as demographic information that is linked to personally
identifiable information. Demographic information, as used in this Privacy Policy, refers to information
that describes personal characteristics but could not, on its own, be used to personally identify you or
contact you. Demographic information may include your date of birth, age, gender, habits, or
preferences.
Personally identifiable information and/or demographic information are only collected when you
voluntarily provide it to us through one of the online forms available on this website, which may be most
commonly encountered when:
 purchasing products or services from this website.
If demographic information is collected for an activity or service that also requires personally identifiable
information, we may combine the demographic information with your personally identifiable
information. Combining this data allows us to customize the notices we send you and the content we
provide you according to your interests and preferences.
The following provides additional information about certain features of our website.
NEWSLETTERS AND E-MAIL
If you provide us your e-mail address and/or mailing address, the contact information you provide may
be used to send you newsletters, product or service literature, or other communications that you
request. In addition, you may receive communications introducing you to other LAV brands or websites.
We may also use your e-mail address to send you transactional or administrative communications (e.g.,
confirmation e-mail when you make an online purchase or sign up for, or unsubscribe from, a service or
activity), as well as certain service-related announcements. Collectively, these types of communications
are referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Administrative Communications.”
PURCHASING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ONLINE
This website may allow you to purchase LAV products or services through an online store operated by
LAV Imports or a vendor on our behalf, as well as provide links to unaffiliated third party sites that sell
LAV products. If you are purchasing a product or service through a LAV Imports, you will be asked to
provide your credit card information, including credit card number and billing and shipping addresses,
as well as other basic contact information (e.g., telephone number and e-mail address). This information
is used to fulfill your purchase and confirm your order.
If the online store you are visiting is operated by an unaffiliated third party, we may provide you a direct
link to the third party store for your convenience. Please note, however, that these sites are not operated
by LAV Imports and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policy
of the online store you are visiting before sharing any personally identifiable information or sensitive
information such as your credit card number.
WHO IS COLLECTING YOUR INFORMATION AND IS IT SHARED WITH ANYONE?
The information that you disclose on this website is collected by LAV Imports or by a vendor acting on its
behalf; and is used in accordance with the practices set forth above. The following provides more specific
information about how and to whom we may disclose your information.
AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS
We may use outside companies, agents, or contractors (collectively “vendors”) to provide support for
the internal operations of our websites and to assist us with administering e-commerce services or
various other programs and promotions available on our website. Examples include fulfilling orders,
delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists,
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payment and providing customer
service. In the course of doing so, these vendors may come into contact with your personal information.
However, we only give them access to (or allow them to collect on our behalf) the information they need
in order to perform the specific tasks they have been hired to do. They may not use it for other purposes.
PARTNERS, AFFILIATES AND JOINT PROMOTIONS
From time to time, we may run a joint or co-sponsored program or promotion on our websites with
another company, organization, affiliate or other reputable third party; and, as part of this event, collect
and process personally identifiable information. You can tell when another company or business is
involved in our promotions or your transactions and we may share customer information related to those
transactions with that company or business. Periodically, we may run a promotion on our website that
features the products or services of another company and may give you the opportunity to opt in to
receive information directly from that third party company.
When operating any promotion involving another company, we may provide a separate link to that
company’s website. If you do not want your information to be collected by or shared with a company
other than LAV Imports, you can always choose not to opt in or participate in these events at the time
the information is collected/ requested. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do
not warrant the offerings of, any of these businesses or individuals or the content of their websites. We
do not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, products, content of all these and any other
third parties. We encourage you to carefully review their privacy policies and other conditions of use.
LEGAL AND BUSINESS TRANSFERS
We may also disclose personally identifiable information if we are required to do so by law, or if in our
good faith judgment, such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal processes, to respond to
any claims, or to protect the safety or rights of LAV Imports, its customers, or the public.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such transactions,
personally identifiable information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event
of a merger or acquisition of all or part of LAV Imports or LAV by another company, or in the event that
LAV Imports or LAV were to sell or dispose of all or a part of the LAV business, the acquirer would have
access to the information maintained by that LAV business, which could include personally identifiable
information, subject to applicable law. Similarly, personally identifiable information may be transferred
as part of a corporate reorganization, insolvency proceeding, or other similar event, if permitted by and
done in accordance with applicable law.
AGGREGATE INFORMATION
We may share aggregated demographic or survey information with third parties, but this information is
in anonymous form and does not contain any personally identifiable information. The aggregate
information that we share may include anonymous information that is captured through the use of
cookies and other similar tracking technology, as discussed in the Non-personal information section
above.
