Although the table above describes our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. As a result, our collection and processing of your information may be based in different contexts upon your consent, our need to perform a contract, our obligations under law, and/or our general interest in conducting our business.

Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We disclose, and have disclosed in the preceding 12 months, the following categories of personal information for the business or commercial purposes identified in this Privacy Notice. Please note that because this list is comprehensive it may refer to types of information that we disclose about people other than yourself.

Service Providers. We may disclose such information to service providers who assist us in providing products and services, talent acquisition, information technology support and customer service support.
Affiliated Companies. We may disclose such information with subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures as needed to provide our products and services and generally as necessary in the administration of a global organization.
Other Disclosures with Your Consent. We may ask if you would like us to disclose your information with other unaffiliated third parties who are not described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice.
Corporate Transaction. We may disclose your Personal Information in the context of merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization, to a purchaser of all or a portion of our assets, or pursuant to a financing arrangement or co-promotional agreement. Such recipient will be bound by terms and conditions reasonably similar to those set out in this Privacy Notice.
Other Parties. We may disclose Personal Information in response to subpoenas, warrants, court orders, or in connection with a legal process, to comply with relevant laws, or to comply with a government request. We may also disclose such information in order to establish or exercise our rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, risk to the safety of a person or property, or a violation of our policies.
De-identified Personal Information. We may disclose or use aggregated or de-identified data for any lawful purpose. De identified information is generally not considered to be Personal Information under applicable laws.

Security of Your Personal Information

We take the privacy of your Personal Information seriously. We use commercially reasonable technical, administrative and physical security measures designed to protect your Personal Information, including generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100 percent secure, so we unfortunately cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a breach that we are required by law to inform you of, we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (e.g., if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), please contact us immediately as detailed under the “Contact Us” heading below.

Retention of Your Personal Information

How long we retain your Personal Information depends on the context in which, and purpose for which, we collected it. We generally retain Personal Information for as long as necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected, unless a different retention period is required by applicable law.

Please note that these websites’ privacy policies may differ from those of Lantech and that this Privacy Notice only applies to Personal Information collected on this Site. We have no control over third-party websites and are not responsible or liable for the privacy or business practices of any third-party websites linked on our Site. We encourage you to read the privacy notice of any website you may visit, as we are not responsible for such websites’ content and policies.

If we make any changes to this Notice that materially impact previously collected Personal Information about you, we will, to the extent that we have your email address, notify you by email and/or obtain consent where required by applicable law.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you are located, you may have additional rights, as detailed below.

Right to withdraw your consent: To the extent a specific element of our processing of your Personal Information relies upon your consent, you may withdraw such consent at any time with future effect. Such a withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the consent withdrawal.
Right to request access to your Personal Information: You may have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not Personal Information concerning you is being processed, and, where that is the case, to request access to the Personal Information. This access information includes — inter alia — the purposes of the processing, the categories of Personal Information concerned, and the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the Personal Information have been or will be disclosed. However, this is not an absolute right and the interests of other individuals may restrict your right of access. You may have the right to obtain a copy of the Personal Information free of charge. For further copies requested by you, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.
Right to request rectification (correction): You may have the right to obtain from us the rectification of inaccurate Personal Information concerning you. Depending on the purposes of the processing, you may have the right to have incomplete Personal Information completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
Right to request deletion (right to be forgotten): Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to obtain from us the erasure of Personal Information concerning you. If required by law we will grant a request to delete information, but you should note that in many situations we must keep your Personal Information to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or for another one of our business purposes.
Right to request restriction of processing: Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to obtain from us restriction of processing your Personal Information. In such case, the respective data will be marked and may only be processed by us for certain purposes.
Right to request data portability: Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to receive the Personal Information concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you may have the right to transmit those data to another entity without hindrance from us.
Right to object: Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your Personal Information by us, and we can be required to no longer process your Personal Information. Such right to object may especially apply if we collect and process your Personal Information for profiling purposes in order to better understand your interests in our products and services or for direct marketing. If you have a right to object and you exercise this right, your Personal Information will no longer be processed for such purposes by us.
Right to Know what Personal Information is Sold or Shared and to Whom. At the current time, Lantech does not sell or share your Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Right to Prohibit the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information. We do not and have not in the preceding 12 months, “sold” or “shared” (in this context, share means use of your Personal Information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising) your Personal Information. Lantech does not sell your Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your sensitive personal information. Where applicable, the respective sensitive personal information will be marked accordingly and may only be processed by us for certain purposes. At the current time, however, we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those expressed in this Privacy Notice or otherwise permitted by applicable law, and these uses cannot be limited under California law.
Right to Non-Discrimination. We do not discriminate against individuals who exercise any of their rights described in this Privacy Notice. However, Lantech may require use of your Personal Information to provide access to the Services. Therefore, when you exercise your deletion right, in particular, you may lose access to certain aspects of the services that require your Personal Information.
Do Not Track and Commercially Recognized Opt Out Preference Signals. Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” or similar feature that signals to websites that a visitor does not want to have his/her online activity and behavior tracked. We do not use behavioral advertising cookies on our website to collection personal information about you. For that reason, we do not respond to “Do Not Track” settings or other related mechanisms, such as opt-out preference signals, at this time.
Automated Processing. Under certain circumstances, you have the right to object to a significant decision based solely on automated processing (i.e., without human intervention) unless that decision is required or authorized by law. At the present time, we do not engage in automated decisionmaking without human intervention.

If you choose to assert any of these rights under applicable law, we will respond within the time period prescribed by applicable law. Please note that many of the above rights are subject to exceptions and limitations. Your rights and our responses will vary based on your country or territory of residency.

In certain jurisdictions, a person authorized to act on your behalf may make a verifiable request related to your Personal Information. If you designate an authorized person to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf, we will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. In any circumstance, your request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative of that person; and (ii) describe the request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

To exercise your rights, please contact us as stated in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Notice. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority if we have not addressed your questions or concerns about Personal Information.
