Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy:

Lark Creek (“Lark Creek“) operates larkcreeknb.com and may operate other websites. It is Lark Creek’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Lark Creek collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Lark Creek’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Lark Creek’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Lark Creek may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Lark Creek also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on larkcreeknb.com blogs/sites. Lark Creek only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Lark Creek’s websites choose to interact with Lark Creek in ways that require Lark Creek to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Lark Creek gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at larkcreeknb.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Lark Creek are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Lark Creek collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Lark Creek. Lark Creek does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Lark Creek may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Lark Creek may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Lark Creek does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Lark Creek discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Lark Creek’s behalf or to provide services available at Lark Creek’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Lark Creek’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Lark Creek will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Lark Creek discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Lark Creek believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Lark Creek, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Lark Creek website and have supplied your email address, Lark Creek may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Lark Creek and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Lark Creek takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Lark Creek visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Lark Creek’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Lark Creek’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Lark Creek, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Lark Creek goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Lark Creek may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer.
