Lateral Imaging, found at https://lateral-i.com (“Website”) is governed by the following Privacy Policy. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains to you what personally identifiable information we may collect and how it may be used.
What personal data we collect, and why
Automatically collected information: We use Google Analytics to automatically collect certain information about you when you access the Website, such as your IP address, device operating system, browser type, and pages you viewed. We may also collect information about actions you take when using the Website, such as links clicked. Our Website respects Do Not Track browser requests. Your information has been anonymized and is only viewed as aggregate data.
Caching: This Website utilizes caching in order to facilitate a faster response time and better user experience. Caching potentially stores a duplicate copy of every web page that is on display on this site. All cache files are temporary, and are never accessed by any third party, except as necessary to obtain technical support from the cache plugin vendor. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator, but may easily be purged by the admin before their natural expiration, if necessary. We may use QUIC.cloud services to process & cache your data temporarily. Please see https://quic.cloud/privacy-policy/ for more details.
Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies: We may log information using cookies, which are small data files stored on your browser. We may use both session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which stay on your browser until deleted, to provide you with a more personalized experience on our Website. You may prevent the Website from setting cookies, or delete any already-present cookies, by using the settings in your web browser. However, if you deactivate the setting of cookies in your Internet browser, not all functions of the Website may be usable.
Embedded content from other websites: the Website may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Flickr images, Google ads etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you have visited the other website. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Please contact those other websites to manage your personal information.
Payments: We accept payments through PayPal. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to PayPal, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information.
Please see the PayPal Privacy Policy for more details.
Voluntarily submitted information: We may collect personal information from you such as your name or email address when you leave a comment or subscribing to a newsletter. Our Website does not use contact forms. We do not collect any personal information when you use any of the social sharing buttons on our Website.
Who we share your data with
We use the following third-party service providers. Click each link to view their privacy policy: Google Analytics (aggregate data only), Shield Security (anonymized data only), Mailerlite (voluntarily submitted information). We are not responsible for the republishing of this Website’s content on other websites or media without our permission – but do inform us so we can take legal action.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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.
