California Privacy Policy

What Does Our Privacy Policy Include?

Our Policy covers how and why we collect, use, protect, and share your personal information on our websites where this Policy is posted. Our Policy focuses on personal information – information that identifies you or reasonably can be linked to information that identifies you. For example, when you place an order online, we collect personal information, such as name, address, phone number, and credit or debit card information.

What is Our Pledge of Accountability?

We require our associates, business partners, and service providers who manage your personal information to do so properly and in accordance with our policies.

What Information Do We Collect and How Do We Collect It?

We collect information to deliver the products and services you request and to help improve your shopping experience. We collect information from you in a variety of ways when you interact with our website.

What Information Do We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information. Not all categories may be collected about every individual:

  • Personal identifiers, such as name and address
  • Device and online identifiers and related information, such as telephone number and email address
  • Internet, application, and network activity, such as cookie IDs and browser visits
  • Financial information, such as credit and debit card numbers and claims information
  • Purchase history information, such as products you have bought, rented, and returned
  • Location information, such as geo-location information

How Do We Collect Information

We collect information from you in two ways: (1) information we receive from you and (2) information we receive from others. Information we receive from you includes: i) information you actively share with us, such as when you create an account online with us, and ii)information you provide us passively through technology, such as through a cookie placed on your computer when you visit our websites. We also receive information from other sources to help us supplement our records, improve the personalization of our service to you, and detect fraud. Our goal is to limit the information we collect to the information needed to support our business.

Information We Receive From You

You actively share information with us in various ways. For example, you share information when you:

  • Make an online purchase, or other transaction, with us;
  • Create an account on our website;
  • Request customer service or contact us;
  • Post a review or comment on one of our social media pages, or post a rating, review or other user-generated content on one of our websites; and
  • Participate in a contest, sweepstake, promotion, or survey.

When you engage in these activities, you may share different types of personal information with us, such as your name, email address, physical or postal address, phone number, date of birth, and payment information.

You also passively provide us information in other ways through technology. Some of this information may be linked to you personally. This information helps our websites and mobile services work correctly and supports our customer marketing and analytics efforts – our work to understand our customers’ needs and provide information about our products and services. Here are some examples:

  • Device Information: We collect technical information when you visit our website. This includes information such as Internet Protocol (IP) address, the type of device you use, your device operating system and browser type, a unique device identifier, the address of referring websites, the path you take through our websites, and other information about your session on our websites.
  • Browsing Information: We use our own and third-party technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and mobile device identifiers to collect information about the use of our websites and mobile services. We use these tools to provide an integrated and more personalized shopping experience for you. For example: cookies allow us to provide you relevant information as you use or return to our sites; web beacons allow us to know if a certain page was visited, an email was opened, or if ad banners on our websites and other sites were effective. Under certain circumstances, we permit third parties to collect information on our websites for their own business purposes using cookies, web beacons, iframes and similar technologies.

Information We Receive From Other Sources

We receive information about you from other sources to help us correct or supplement our records, improve the quality or personalization of our services and marketing to you, and prevent or detect fraud. We collect personal information from consumer reporting agencies in conjunction with products or services that involve financial risk to us, such as transactions in which we may extend you financing.

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We use your personal information to provide you products and services, such as to fulfill your orders or to help us personalize our services and marketing to you. We also use your personal information to support our business functions, such as fraud prevention, marketing, and legal functions.

Some examples include:

  • To fulfill your order or requests for services and provide customer service
  • To create and maintain your account
  • To conduct auditing and monitoring of transactions and engagement
  • To conduct marketing, personalization, and third-party advertising
  • To protect the security and integrity of our websites, mobile services and our business, and help prevent fraud
  • To update our operational and technical functionality
  • To conduct business analysis, such as analytics, projections, identifying areas for operational improvement
  • To conduct research and development
  • To fulfill our legal function or obligations

To do this, we combine personal and non-personal information, collected online and offline, including information from third party sources. We also may transfer or share your personal information within our corporate family of companies for these purposes, as permitted by law.

How Do We Share Your Personal Information With Others?

All of the categories of personal information that we collect have been shared with other companies, including those within our corporate family, for a business purpose. As described below, we may share your personal information in limited circumstances, such as to conduct our business, in the event all or a part of our business ins merged, sold, or reorganized, when legally required, , or with your consent.

We will not share your personal information outside of our corporate family of companies, except in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We share personal information about you with service providers that help with our business activities, including shipping vendors, billing and refund vendors, payment card processors, marketing and advertising vendors, and companies that help us improve our products and services. We require our service providers to keep your personal information secure. We do not allow our service providers to use or share your personal information for any purpose other than providing services on our behalf. Your personal information may be stored and processed by our service providers in the United States or other locations where the service providers maintain facilities.

We may share your personal information in other special circumstances, which include situations when sharing is required by law, or we believe sharing will help to protect the safety, property, or rights of our customers, our associates, or other persons. Examples include:

  • Identifying and addressing fraud or financial risk;
  • Providing personal information to law enforcement at their written request;
  • Responding to a search warrant or other valid legal inquiry; and
  • Responding to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or violation of law.

Business Transfers

In the event that all or a part of our business is merged, sold or reorganized (including transfers made as a part of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings), personal information about you could be shared with the successor business. We will use reasonable measures to help ensure that any successor treats your information in accordance with this Policy.

In any circumstance other than those described above, we will ask for your affirmative consent before we share your personal information outside of our corporate family of companies.

We may share aggregated or pseudonymous information (pseudonymous information includes things like: device identifier, type of device, IP addresses, cookies and other information associated with your browsing and app usage) with other companies, such as publishers, advertisers, measurement analytics providers and others. We do not share information that directly identifies you (information such as name or email address) with these companies.

We also allow companies that show advertisements on our webpages or our apps to collect information from your browsers or devices via the use of cookies or other technologies. Other companies' use of cookies and other data collection technologies are subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Like many companies, we may allow cookie matching with select partners. However, these parties are not authorized to access information from Light & Motion cookies. For more information about your choices related to advertising activities see “What are Your Choices?

What are Your Choices?

When we are sending marketing communications to you, we use the following standards:

  • We use an opt-in standard for phone and text messages. We use an opt-in standard for sharing personal information with companies outside our corporate family of companies for their use in direct marketing, such as sending you promotions. Opt-in means we will only conduct the activity with your affirmative consent.
  • We use an opt-out standard for email or for other communications, such as postal mail. Opt-out means we may contact you, but will stop upon your request (as described below).

You can provide us with your marketing preferences by e-mailing [email protected]. Or you may contact the Privacy Office as described in the “Contact Us” section below.

It may take up to ten days to process your requests related to email and up to 30 days to process your requests related to telephone calls, text messages, app notification, and sharing information with your consent. Please note that postal mailings are often prepared many weeks in advance, and you may continue to receive mail for six to ten weeks.

Please know that, even if you opted out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still contact you for transactional or informational purposes. Some examples are contacts for customer service, product information, service or reminder notices, customer surveys, or recalls. We may also need to contact you with questions or information regarding your order.
