Privacy Statement
Your privacy is important to us. To demonstrate our commitment to our users' privacy, we are disclosing our information and privacy practices to our users. The Laurrapin guarantees the privacy of your personal information and will not rent, sell, or share your information with another party. This privacy statement covers the site Laurrapin.com.
Information Collection and Use
Laurrapin.com collects personal information to assist in providing our users with information that is relevant to their needs. If a user wishes to receive communication from the Laurrapin, we ask for contact information, including name, email address, and birthday. We also ask for optional personal information that is collected to determine the preferences of our potential newsletter subscribers. The collected contact information will be used to notify users about future promotions from the Laurrapin and Laurrapin.com. Users will be given the option to opt out of subscribing to the newsletter at that time. The information is for use only by The Laurrapin. You may opt out at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in each email or by sending an email to info@laurrapin.com with "unsubscribe" or "remove" in the subject line. You may also call us at 410-939-4956 to have your information removed.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. The Laurrapin DOES NOT use cookies.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Clear Gif's (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
We DO NOT employ a software technology called clear gif's (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that helps web sites better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gif's are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference between the two is that clear gif's are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
Service Providers
The development and maintenance of our Web site is done in house. We DO NOT employ a third party to manage/create our web presence.
Links
This Web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we, The Laurrapin Grille are 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.
Surveys and Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
