THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Personal Information You Provide and How It Is Used: The Website allows you to personally identifiable information (such as name, address, email, social media connections, and financial information) and other information of your choice to Digital Lions voluntarily, as more particularly described below. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, such as information about medical or health conditions. Please do not send confidential information to us directly through the website or by email to any of the contact email addresses listed on the website.
E-Newsletters: If you opt to receive our e-newsletter, we will ask you to provide certain personally-identifying information, including your email address, first and last name, and country of origin. You may unsubscribe from the e-newsletter at any time by using the link provided in your confirmation email or any subsequent email you receive from us.
Contact us/Leave a Message: If you contact us through the contact form/leave a message option on the website, we will ask that you provide certain personally identifying information, including your first and last name and email address, and you will have the option to provide additional information. We will use the information you provide to contact you and to respond to any requests.
Non-Personal Information We Collect by Automated Means and How We Use It: We collect certain information by automated means when you visit the website. In addition, we also use Google Analytics and StateCounter.com – both third-party tracking services – to collect such information. The information collected may include usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of users to the website, pages visited, and similar data. If
gathered, this data is used in the aggregate and not in a manner that is intended to identify you personally. This type of aggregate information may be shared with third parties at any time. In addition to the third-party tracking services mentioned above, we also collect this information through various other means, including “cookies,” “web beacons,” and IP addresses, as further explained below.
Cookies: A cookie is a piece of information that a web server may place on your computer when you visit a website. Websites commonly use cookies to improve the user experience. Many cookies last only through a single website session or visit. Others may have an expiration date or may remain on your computer until you delete them. Digital Lions uses “session cookies” to enhance the user experience and for other website-related purposes. These session cookies are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may also use cookies for other purposes, including to maintain continuity during a user session, to gather data about the usage of our website for research and other purposes, or to store a user name or related login credentials so that you do not have to provide this information every time you return to our website. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, be notified when you receive a new cookie and disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features on our website without cookies. Our cookies do not gather personally identifiable information. In some cases, Learning Lions may also use another company to operate web servers for our website. Digital Lions uses the cookie information gathered by these companies in the same manner as stated in this Privacy Policy.
Web Beacons: Certain pages on the website contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, and clear GIFs). These web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. Web beacons also may be used to track whether you have opened an HTML email. When the email is opened, a part of the code that makes up the HTML page calls a web server to load the web beacon, generating a record showing that the email has been viewed. Web beacons may also recognize when the email was opened, how many times it was forwarded, and which URLs (links within the email) were clicked.
IP Addresses: When you visit and interact with the Website, Digital Lions and third parties with whom we have contracted to provide services for us may collect Internet Protocol addresses (each an “IP Address”), as well as browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and page navigation. An IP Address is a unique identifier number that specific electronic devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet; your Internet Service Provider automatically assigns an IP Address to the computer you are using. We gather this information to track website visitor movement in the aggregate and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Our goal in collecting this information is to learn how our customers and the public use our service. We may use this information to enhance our website or for other lawful purposes.
HOW WE MAY SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We may disclose all of the information (described herein) that we collect, as stated in this Privacy Policy, including according to the terms outlined in this section. Please note that we partner with various payment processors to allow you to conduct payment transactions on the website. Should you opt to use any of the payment options, certain personal information about you will be shared with the payment processor you choose. Otherwise, we do not reveal personally identifiable information about you to third parties for their independent use unless
you expressly authorize Digital Lions or an affiliate to do so,
it is necessary to allow Digital Lions and its service providers or agents to provide services on Digital Lions’s behalf,
to provide products or services to you,
it is disclosed to entities that perform marketing or data aggregation services for Digital Lions,
it is necessary for connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Digital Lions or the merger of Digital Lions into another entity or any consolidation, share exchange, combination, reorganization, or like transaction in which Digital Lions is not the survivor,
- Otherwise, as Digital Lions is required or permitted to do so for any or all of the following reasons: (i) to comply with a subpoena, legal process, government request, or any other legal obligation, (ii) to prevent, investigate, detect, or prosecute criminal offenses or attacks on the technical integrity of the website or our network, and (iii) to protect the rights, privacy, property, business, or safety of Digital Lions, their partners and employees, the visitors of the website, or the public.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE
We may provide links to third-party websites as a service to you or to offer you additional information related to the transactions and activities that occur on the website.

However, no website can guarantee security. Thus, while we have established and maintained what we believe to be reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, safety, and integrity of personally identifying information obtained through the website. We strive to protect your data; we cannot ensure or warrant any information you transmit to us. Also, please note that some of the information we collect – such as the information related to your e-newsletter subscriptions – is stored by our third-party partners.
