If during your visit to this website you send an email to LI, your email address and the contents of your email will be collected. The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include audio, video, and graphic information formats you send us. The information is retained by Us. Your email address and the information contained in your email will be used to respond to you, to address issues you identify, to further improve this website, or to forward your email to another agency for appropriate action.

During your visit to this website you may initiate a transaction such as setting up a Creator Page, uploading creative works, registration or commenting. The information, including personal information, volunteered by you in initiating the transaction is used by LI to operate LI programs, which include the provision of goods, services and information.

Currently, LI does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or create profiles of children through this website. People are cautioned that the collection of personal information provided by any individual in an email or through an online transaction will be treated the same as information given by an adult, and may, unless exempted from access by federal or State law, be subject to public access. LI encourages parents and teachers to be involved in children's Internet activities and to provide guidance whenever children are asked to provide personal information on-line.

While your choice not to participate in these activities may limit your ability to receive specific services or products through this website, it will not prevent you from reading our Site and browsing its contents, and will not normally have an impact on your ability to take advantage of other features of the website.
