privacy policies of every jurisdiction in which we operate.
Accordingly, you are free to use our Contact information to reach us at
any time to assert any State rights.
Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy
Protecting
the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason,
our website will never collect or maintain information at our website
from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of our website is
structured to attract anyone under 18.
Under
our Terms of Service and Conditions of Use, children under 18 are not
allowed to use our website and access our services. It is not our
intention to offer products or services to minors.
Google Analytics
LK
and RH Carter uses Google Analytics to help analyse how users use the
site. The tool uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your
computer, to collect standard Internet log information and visitor
behaviour information in an anonymous form. The information generated
by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address)
is transmitted to Google. This information is then used to evaluate
visitors’ use of this website and to compile statistical reports on
website activity.
We
will never (and will not allow any third party to) use the statistical
analytics tool to track or to collect any Personally Identifiable
Information of visitors to our site. Google will not associate your IP
address with any other data held by Google. Neither we nor Google will
link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer
user.
You
may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on
your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be
able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this
website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in
the manner and for the purposes set out above.
Other Collection of Personal Information
When visiting our website, the IP address used to access our
website may be logged along with the dates and times of access. This
information is purely used to analyze trends, administer our website,
track users movement, and gather broad demographic information for
internal use such as statistical assessments and website improvement.
Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Other
information may be collected as well, which is rather typical of most
websites. For instance, the source that referred you to our website is
generally known. Likewise, your duration on our website, and your
destination when you leave our website can also be tracked. Other
common data collected includes the type of operating system the
computer you are using to access our website has. Similarly, the type
of web browser is often noted. Again, this is common data collection,
and helps ultimately produce a better end-user experience.
Cookies
are another common internet practice. Cookies are a key means of
improving user experience by allows us to customize your use of our
website. Simple information is transferred to your computer to allow
the content and experience to reflect your actions, preferences, and so
on. You should simply make the assumption our website uses cookies, and
note that you are free to make adjustments in your web browser to
disable these or otherwise receive notification of cookies so you can
take whatever desired action you so choose. Please understand that
refusing cookies may cripple some of our website features and render
some aspects useless to you.
At
times, you will be fully aware of information received, as you are the
direct source providing it. For instance, you may comment on a blog
post, reply to an email (whether broadcast message or autoresponder),
provide an email address, complete a survey, requests SMS, or
otherwise. Likewise, purchases necessarily involve collecting certain
information, such as credit card information, Paypal addresses, your
physical address for billing and/or shipping, phone number, and so on.
Refusing to provide some of this information may lead to us being
unable to provide you with the products or services you’ve
requested.
A
prime example of limited access to our website is where content may be
protected by a username and password. Whether a username and password
is generated by our website, or created by you, these will almost
always be connected with some other information related to or connected
with you. This is true since much content that is protected on the
internet is subscription based, often paid for. Thus, the username and
password must necessarily be tied to your other account data. Usernames
and passwords, by their very nature, should be kept private.
Website Cookies
You
can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert
you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse
cookies, please note that some parts of this website may not function
correctly and could even become inaccessible.

Handling of Personal Information
Note
that any personal information you provide to others apart from us or
our vendors is wholly optional. As an example, you might disclose
something in a blog post comment. That “private” information is now
“public,” and we have no control over that. In like fashion, you
sharing information with any other third party not functioning as a
service provider to us puts that information beyond our control and
becomes subject to the policy that party has in place.
Our
primary intention for collecting personal and private information from
you is simply to conduct our business. We can use this internally to
better serve you. Accordingly, we see no reason to share your personal
information to other parties and outside interests unless you have
authorized us to do so.
Of
course, there are instances where your information is stored with third
party service providers, such as email service providers, as they
provide services that are industry-leading in quality and security and
are far more beneficial to our end user than attempting such services
“in-house.” However, you are never required to deal with any such third
party directly, they are limited in how they use your information, and
they cannot sell or transfer it to others in any way.
However,
of course, your information does comprise part of an overall whole.
This aggregate of information, by contrast, may be used to understand
our overall user base. Further, we may share this information about our
website visitors as a whole, not individually, with third parties for
various purposes, in our sole discretion.
While
we are staunch privacy advocates, there are times when even we may be
forced to abandon these ideals. Just as major search engines face
ongoing compulsion to provide data against their will, so too may the
same occur with our website. Illegal activity or other serious acts or
allegations could create legal liability for our website. In those
cases, we reserve the right to share your information, or else may
simply be compelled to do so by law.
On
the other hand, there may be times when we would need to share your
private information in order to protect our own interests. For
instance, in cases of suspected or alleged copyright infringement or
other intellectual property violations, it may be necessary to share
personal information.
Disclosures of your personal data.
We may have to share your personal
data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the
section above titled "Lawful basis and purposes for processing personal
data"
• Service providers who provide IT and system administration services.
• Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers.
•
Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities based in the
United Kingdom and other relevant jurisdictions who require reporting
of processing activities in certain circumstances.
• Third parties to whom we sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets.
We only permit such third parties to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Marketing communications
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have:
(a) requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us; or
(b) if you provided us with your
details and ticked the box at the point of entry of your details for us
to send you marketing communications; and
(c) in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.
We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for marketing purposes.
You can ask us or third parties to
stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the
opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you OR by emailing us at
lkandrhcarterlegals@gmail.com at any time, or by using the contact form on this page.
Where you opt out of receiving our
marketing communications, this will not apply to personal data provided
to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration,
product/service experience or other transactions.
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal data
for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably
consider that we need to use it for another purpose and that purpose is
compatible with the original purpose.
If we need to use your personal data
for a purpose unrelated to the purpose for which we collected the data,
we will notify you and we will explain the legal ground of processing.
We may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.
Third party service providers outside of the European Economic Area.
Many
of our third parties service providers are based outside the European
Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will
involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal
data out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of
security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards
is implemented:
• We will only transfer your personal
data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of
protection for personal data by the European Commission; or
• Where we use certain service
providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or
certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give
personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
• Where we use providers based in the
United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the
EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection
to personal data shared between the Europe and the US.
If none of the above safeguards is
available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific
transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
Please email us at
lkandrhcarterlegals@gmail.com if you want further information on the
specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out
of the EEA.
Data Security
We have in place appropriate security
measures to protect your personal data and to prevent it from being
accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or
disclosed. Additionally, we limit access to your personal data to those
employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a
business need to know such data. They will only process your personal
data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of
confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to
deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and
any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to
do so.
Retention of Data
We only retain your personal data for
as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for,
including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or
reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention
period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and
sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from
unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for
which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those
purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
We are legally required to keep basic
information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial
and Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers
for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see below for further information.
We reserve the right to anonymise your
personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for
research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this
information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Links to Third Party Websites
We

not responsible for the privacy policies on these websites. You should
be aware that the privacy policies of these websites may differ from
our own.
Comments Policy
As
you know, Web 2.0 is all about the conversation. But without a few
simple ground rules, that conversation can turn into a shouting match
that discourages others from entering into the fray.
So here is LK and RH Carter comments policy. By posting on my blog, you agree to the following:
You may
comment without registering. You can log-in via Disqus, OpenID,
Twitter, Facebook—or not at all. It’s up to you. You may post
anonymously. I don’t recommend this, but you may do so if you wish. I
may change this rule if it is abused.
You
may post follow-up questions. If you have a question, chances are you
are not alone. Others are likely thinking similarly. Therefore, I would
rather receive your comments on LK and RH Carter than via email. It is
a better use of my time to address everyone at once rather than answer
several similar emails.
You
may disagree with me. I welcome debate. However, I ask that if you
disagree with me—or anyone else, for that matter—do so in a way that is
respectful. In my opinion, there is way too much shouting in the public
square to tolerate it here.
LK
and RH Carter reserves the right to delete your comments. This is my
blog. I don’t have an obligation to publish your comments. The First
Amendment gives you the right to express your opinions on your blog not
mine.
Specifically,
I will delete your comments if you post something that is, in my sole
opinion, (a)snarky; (b) off-topic; (c) libelous, defamatory, abusive,
harassing, threatening, profane, pornographic, offensive, false,
misleading, or which otherwise violates or encourages others to violate
my sense of decorum and civility or any law, including intellectual
property laws; or (d) “spam,” i.e., an attempt to advertise, solicit,
or otherwise promote goods and services. You may, however, post a link
to your site or your most recent blog post.
You
retain ownership of your comments. I do not own them and I expressly
disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By commenting
on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you
post here and that you will relieve me from any and all liability that
may result from those postings.
You
grant LK and RH Carter a license to post your comments. This license is
worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and royalty-free. You grant me
the right to store, use, transmit, display, publish, reproduce, and
distribute your comments in any format, including but not limited to a
blog, in a book, a video, or presentation.
In
short, my goal is to host interesting conversations with caring,
honest, and respectful people. I believe this simple comments policy
will facilitate this.
Your Legal Rights
Under
certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in
relation to your personal data. These include the right to:
• Request access to your personal data.
• Request correction of your personal data.
• Request erasure of your personal data.
• Object to processing of your personal data.
• Request restriction of processing your personal data.
• Request transfer of your personal data.
• Right to withdraw consent.
These rights are explained in detail here:
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please email us at lkandrhcarterlegals@gmail.com.
You will not have to pay a fee to
access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).
However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly
unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to
comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific
information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your
right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other
rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not
disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also
contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your
request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate
requests within 30 days. On occasion it may take us longer if your
request is particularly complex or you have made a number of
requests.
