The Company does not collect any protected personal information from its customers or users unless voluntarily provided for the Company's use with consent, or unless the information is considered public and nonconfidential. For the avoidance of doubt, public and nonconfidential information includes such information that is currently publicly known at the time of the customer's use of Company application, is properly within the ownership or knowledge of the Company prior to its disclosure to Company or use the application, or is lawfully received by Company by a third party not under any non-disclosure or confidentiality obligations to such customer or user.
However, certain personal information may be collected if a customer or user elects to use or purchase certain products or services. Examples of this type of disclosure requirement include but are not limited to: (a) registering for an account; (b) entering a sweepstakes or contest sponsored by us or one of our partners; (c) signing up for special offers from selected third parties; or (d) sending Company an email message or other communication that includes personal data. Company shall limit any use of such information as commercially reasonable but in order to properly deliver any services or obligations necessary for the performance of the application and related product or service communications. The company reserves the right to gather additional personal or non-personal information as needed for business purposes in the future; however, such data requests shall be in writing and with full consent and knowledge of the data subject.
The Company may use personal information (as collected under the terms in Section I. above), for the following purposes:
• To operate and deliver the services and products as requested and purchased. • To provide customers or users with information, products, or services requested or purchased from Company, or other related products or services available from the Company and its affiliates. • To provide notifications and other account notices. • To carry out the Company's obligations and enforce its rights arising from any contracts entered into between customer and Company, including for billing and collection. • To notify customers or users about changes or updates to our lateraliq.app or any products or services provided through it. • To maintain the security of the Company's services and prevent fraud or misuse. • To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests. • To maintain the Company's internal records and administrative functions. • In any other way Company may describe when provided the information. • For any other purpose with the customer or user's consent.
