This website is intended to be used in the United States. If you access this website while outside of the United States, your information will be transferred to the United States, and processed and stored under United States privacy standards. Privacy laws in the United States may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By accessing the website and providing information to us, you consent to such transfer to, and processing in, the United States.

When you visit our website, you may browse without providing any personal information. However, our site will ask for all or some of the following personal information you choose to provide, if you submit a membership application, make a donation, complete online forms, or interact with us for any other purpose.

• Name;

We may use the personal information collected on our website for a variety of purposes, including:

• As otherwise disclosed at the point of collection or pursuant to your consent.

Your personal information is shared with third parties that perform services on our behalf, including our software and data storage provider.

Your personal information will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to meet our legal obligations. If you want to request a deletion of your personal information, please email your request to  info@culturalheritagelaw.org.

VII. Information Security

We have reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to help us protect the confidentiality and security of the personal information that we process and maintain through this website. However, no method of transmitting or storing information over the internet is 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information disclosed or transmitted to us online, and therefore the use of our website is at your own risk.

The security of your information also depends on you. If you have a password for access to certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping that password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. If you believe that the security of your password has been compromised or that, for some other reason, your online interaction with us via our website is no longer secure, please notify us of the problem immediately by contacting us at  info@culturalheritagelaw.org.

VIII. Non-LCCHP Websites

Our website may provide links to other websites that we do not own or control which we think might be of interest to our visitors. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any third-party websites that may be linked to our website. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites, as their privacy practices may differ from ours.

IX. Privacy Policy Effective Date and Changes

This policy is effective as of October 12, 2018 and it may change from time to time. Your continued use of our website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes.
