Who we share your data with

We do not share personal information with unaffiliated third parties, except as stated in this Privacy Statement, including as necessary for our legitimate professional and business needs, to carry out your requests, to market our services, as required or permitted by law or professional standards, or otherwise with your consent. In some instances, LEETECH VENTURES may share PII about you with various third-party service providers and vendors working on our behalf. These third parties include providers of administrative, identity management, website hosting, data analysis, data back-up and security management services. LEETECH VENTURES requires these entities to safeguard PII in the same manner as LEETECH VENTURES.

LEETECH VENTURES may also disclose PII in order to respond to lawful requests of government or law enforcement agencies, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements or where disclosure is required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations. In the event that the ownership of LEETECH VENTURES or an affiliate or their assets changes as the result of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information owned or controlled by LEETECH VENTURES may be transferred to another company. Information may also be shared in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell, liquidate, assign or transfer all or a portion of our assets. These disclosures may also be needed for data privacy or security audits and/or to investigate or respond to a complaint or security threat. LEETECH VENTURES does not sell PII to any third parties. Also, LEETECH VENTURES will not transfer the PII you provide to any third parties for their own direct marketing use.

LEETECH VENTURES and our service providers may use personal information in an aggregated, anonymized form for research and development. This data does not identify you individually, but rather helps to identify trends in user preferences and behaviors. In addition, we may share de-identified reports on user demographics and traffic patterns, as well as other de-identified information, with third parties.

Cross Border Transfer. LEETECH VENTURES is a US corporation and may transfer certain PII across geographical borders to other LEETECH VENTURES entities or to outside companies working with us or on our behalf. LEETECH VENTURES may also store PII in a jurisdiction other than where you are based, and such jurisdiction may not provide the same level of protection for your personal information as your home country. By providing your information to LEETECH VENTURES, you are consenting to this transfer and/or storage of your information across borders. Each entity is required to safeguard personal data in accordance with its contractual obligations and data protection legislation applicable to its provision of services. Your personal data will only be transferred if appropriate or suitable safeguards are in place. If you are located in the EU you may have additional rights.

Children

LEETECH VENTURES understands the importance of protecting children’s privacy, especially in an online environment. In particular, our Online Services are not intentionally designed for or directed at children under the age of 13. It is our policy never to knowingly collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 13, except as part of an engagement to provide professional services.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have submitted personal information to LEETECH VENTURES, under most circumstances you have the right to reasonable access to that data to correct any inaccuracies. You can also make a request to update or remove information about you and we will make all reasonable and practical efforts to comply with your request, so long as it is consistent with applicable law and professional standards. To opt-out, request access to or correction, updating, or removal of your personal information please contact us at: admin@leetechventures.com

Data security and integrity

LEETECH VENTURES has, and requires its service providers to have, security policies and procedures in place to help protect personal information from unauthorized loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Despite LEETECH VENTURES’s efforts, however, security cannot be guaranteed against all threats. We seek to limit access to your personal information to those who have a need to know. Those individuals who have access to the data are required to maintain the confidentiality of such information. We also make efforts to retain personal information only for so long as the information is needed for our professional, marketing or analytic purposes or to comply with an individual’s request, or until that person asks that the information be deleted.

Notice of Processing

LEETECH VENTURES provides services, marketing and offerings in the U.S. and does not direct such activities to data subjects that are located in the EU. However, in certain circumstances, such interactions occur.

Links to other sites

Please be aware that the Online Services may contain links to other sites, including sites maintained by other LEETECH VENTURES entities that are not governed by this Privacy Statement but by other privacy statements that may differ. LEETECH VENTURES is not responsible for the content or practices of these sites. We encourage users to review the privacy policy of each site visited before disclosing any personal information.

LEETECH VENTURES may modify this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect our current privacy practices.
