​

CERTAIN TERMS AND EXPRESSIONS USED WITHIN THIS PRIVACY NOTICE HOLD THE SAME MEANINGS AS THOSE STIPULATED IN OUR "AFFILIATES PROGRAM OPERATING AGREEMENT". YOU MUST REFER TO THE "AFFILIATES PROGRAM OPERATING AGREEMENT" TO COMPREHEND THE CONTEXT AND DEFINITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE TERMS. THE "AFFILIATES PROGRAM OPERATING AGREEMENT" FUNCTIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PRIVACY NOTICE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN INTERACTING WITH US.

 

This Privacy Notice applies specifically to the use of personal information collected and processed through the Associates Site (www.liamuigagiveaway.com). By accessing or using the Associates Site, you are subject to the terms and conditions outlined in this Privacy Notice. Please take the time to carefully review this notice to understand how your personal information is collected, used, and protected during your interactions with the Associates Site.

 

Your privacy is very important to us. At Liamuiga we have a few fundamental principles that we follow: We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand companies or services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.) We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law or protect our rights. We don’t store unencrypted personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

 

It is Liamuiga’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating the Associates Site.

 

Associates Site Visitors

 

Like most website operators, Liamuiga collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Liamuiga’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Liamuiga’s visitors use its Associates Site. From time to time, Liamuiga may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Associates Site.

 

Age Requirement

 

Children or minors are not allowed to make a donation on the Associate Site without parental supervision. To use the Associates Site, individuals must be at least 18 years old. By accessing or using the Associates Site, you confirm that you meet the age requirement. Liamuiga refrains from accepting donations from anyone under 18, despite offering prizes for children. If you are under 18, you must access or use the Associates Site under the supervision of a parent or guardian. We do not deliberately collect personal information from children under 13 without the consent of their parent or guardian.

​

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

​

Certain visitors to Associates Site choose to interact with Liamuiga in ways that require Liamuiga to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Liamuiga gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive Liamuiga updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Liamuiga collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Liamuiga. Liamuiga does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Associate Site related activities.

​

Aggregated Statistics

 

Liamuiga may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its Associates Site. For instance, Liamuiga may monitor the most popular affiliate link on the Associates Site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Liamuiga may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Liamuiga does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below.

 

Data Sharing

​

We may share or disclose your data where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal processes, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements). We may disclose your data where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

​

We may share or transfer your data in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

​

Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information

​

Liamuiga discloses potentially personally identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Liamuiga’s behalf or to provide services available on the Associates Site, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Associates Site, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Liamuiga will not rent or sell potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Liamuiga discloses potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Liamuiga believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Liamuiga, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Associates Site and have supplied your email address, Liamuiga may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Liamuiga and our giveaways. We will use social media, or email, or our main nonprofit website (Liamuiga508.org) to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. Liamuiga takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally identifying and personally-identifying information.

 

Data Retention

​

Understanding the importance of convenience and continuity, we have designed the Associates Site to accommodate your ongoing and repeated use. As a result, we retain your data on an ongoing basis to ensure a seamless experience during your interactions with the Associates Site.

If, at any point, you choose not to have your data retained, we respect your decision. Simply reach out to us at info@LiamuigaGiveaway.com, and we will promptly attend to your request. In the event that you request data deletion, we will diligently work towards deleting most of your data. It's important to note that while we strive to accommodate your request, certain data elements may still be retained due to technical and legal considerations. For instance, interaction histories and specific records may be retained to meet legal obligations or ensure the integrity of our operations. We remain committed to maintaining transparency and giving you full control over your data. Our data retention practices are designed with your interests in mind, while also adhering to applicable legal requirements.

This "need-to-know" basis ensures that only authorized employees or approved third parties can access your data, minimizing any potential risks. While we take comprehensive measures to protect your data, it's important to acknowledge that complete internet security cannot be guaranteed.
