What information do we collect about you?

We request personal contact information (name, phone and email address), when you contact us for support or sales assistance (contact information, as well as payment information), or communicate about a particular offer, service or product on our community forums. Our processing and transfer of the data you provide is limited to the following purposes: fulfillment of your order(s)/contract(s), extension/delivering product updates/service-subscriptions or licenses, product registration and activation, customer and technical support as you may request from time to time, processing license renewals as requested by you, automatically processing license renewals if you elect automatic renewal of your subscription and internal (compliance) audits and fraud prevention. You always have the ability to decide whether to proceed with any activity that requests personal information. If you do not wish to provide the requested information, however, you may not be able to complete the transaction or obtain full functionality on the site if the information is essential to complete the transaction or functionality.

Non-Personal Information We Collect

We also collect non-personal information about the use of our websites, products and services which is retained in aggregate form only. This helps us maintain and improve our offerings.

Cookies

LMI may use cookies from time to time. A cookie is a unique text file that a web site can send to your browser software. Cookies enable a web site to tailor information presented to you based on your browsing preferences and are required to enable both the order process and account management. In some cases we use cookies to gather data analytics about website or product use. As with other types of personal information this is retained only in aggregate form and cannot identify individual users.

“We may disclose the presence of a cookie to advertise our services.” We may use cookies to market LMI services to you on third party websites. For example, if you visit our website, you may then see an advertisement for LMI services on certain third party websites you visit in the future.

Sharing Your Information

We sometimes share your personal information with outside parties for the sole purpose of providing products or services to you (such as third party infrastructure, workforce management related services outsourcers, or learning management systems), but we will never share your private information for any other reasons. We also make sure all outside parties agree the use of your data is compliant both with our policies as well as any pertinent regulatory statutes. We never sell your private information.

Legal Disclosures

In certain instances, it may be necessary for LMI to disclose your personal information to government officials or otherwise as required by applicable law. No personally identifiable information will be disclosed to any law enforcement agency or governmental agency except in response to:

  • A subpoena, warrant or other process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction;
  • A legal process having the same consequence as a court-issued request for information, in that LMI would be in breach of law were it to refuse to provide such information, and it or its officers, executive or employees would be subject to liability for failing to honor such legal process; or,
  • Where such disclosure is necessary for LMI to enforce its legal rights pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction from which such information was gathered, and there is a legal basis to do so.

Security of Personal Information

We are committed to the security of your personal information and take appropriate security measures, consistent with modern information security practices, to protect your personal information. These measures include, on our web sites and Internet-enabled technologies, administrative, technical, physical and procedural steps to protect your data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, alteration, or destruction.
