Terms used throughout the Privacy Policy

Throughout this privacy policy we use several specialized terms. “Personally Identifiable Information” is information that tells us specifically who you are, like your name, street address, birth date, email address, and other information that you provide in response to questions presented via the platform. “User Information” means all Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in this privacy policy, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of a user’s computer. We use the term “aggregate” when we combine information from various persons or users. Information is said to be “anonymized” if it does not identify individual persons or entities or associate a particular person or entity with such information.

Types of Personal Data We Collect

We collect two types of personal data: Information You Provide Us and Information We Automatically Collect.

  1. Information You Provide Us
    When using our Website or Services, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information about yourself, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any other information necessary for the provision of our products or services (collectively, “Personal Data”). We use this Personal Data to communicate with you, provide our products or services, and improve our offerings.
    Through these options, you may provide us with Personally Identifiable Information.

    Information You Submit. When you choose to participate in the questionnaires, you must provide Personally Identifiable Information, including your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, a photo of yourself and respond to the survey questions. We collect and store this Personally Identifiable Information and any modifications that either we or you make to that information. The process of how we analyze your Personally Identifiable Information, such as the details of your photo and your responses to the survey questions, is described on our platform here; Lapetussolutions.com.

    We will not reveal any such Personally Identifiable Information to any third party without your consent, except as set forth in this policy. For example, we may share User Information with our service providers who assist us in managing the platform and running the research analytics. In such cases, the service providers are permitted to use this information only in order to carry out the services Lapetus Solutions has contracted for. We will also share User Information (including Personally Identifiable Information that you submit) with our client that has sponsored the research. Even though we are acting on their behalf in collecting and analyzing the information, our client will not use or share your Personally Identifiable Information in a way that is inconsistent with this policy.

    Furthermore, we may use, disclose or transfer certain User Information (i) to provide you information you request; (ii) to send you additional information about your transaction on the platform such as a confirmation, reminder, or problem status; (iii) to send you a newsletter or other marketing materials; (iv) to protect the confidentiality or security of your records; (v) to comply with government requests if appropriate for your protection or in connection with an investigation or prosecution, court order, or subpoena or similar legal process; (vi) in connection with a sale or merger of Lapetus Solutions or other change in corporate control, or (vii) for other legally permissible purposes. We may also share aggregate, anonymized data relating to the transactions on the platform and use of the User Information for marketing, research and other purposes.

  2. Information We Automatically Collect
    When you visit any of our platforms to browse, we may collect and store the domain name and host from which you access the Internet (e.g., google.com), the IP address of your computer, your browser software and operating system and your entity identification. We may use this information to organize and analyze IP addresses so that we can provide items such as efficient service, enhance security, monitor appropriate usage and produce traffic volume statistics. This type of non-Personally Identifiable information may be shared with third parties, such as when we aggregate and disclose site traffic information for marketing and commercial purposes.

    3. Sharing of Your Personal Data

    We may share your Personal Data with third parties in the following circumstances:

    1. With Third Party Service Providers
      Our platform includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button, and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our platform. These Features may collect your Internet protocol address, which page you are visiting on our platform, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our platform. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing it.
      Finally, our platform may provide links to third party websites. If you enter a third-party website, the owners of that website may use and disclose your information in accordance with their own privacy policy, and you may begin receiving emails from such third party. We have no responsibility or liability for the independent actions or policies of these independent sites, and are not responsible for the content, terms, or privacy practices of such sites. To protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you may wish to first review the privacy policies of any third party from whom you obtain coupons, products, or services on our platform, or before providing any information on a third-party website.
    2. Compliance with Laws and Regulations; Protection of Our Rights
      We may disclose your Personal Data if we believe that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, including in response to an investigative demand from a law enforcement agency, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, employees, customers, or others.
