Use of Cookies
The LHH Web site uses "cookies" to help you personalise your online experience. A “cookie” is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
Cookies provide a convenience feature to save you time. Cookies tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise LHH pages, or register with theLHH site or services, a cookie helps LHH to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same LHH Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, allowing easy use of customised features.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, however your browser setting can be modified to decline cookies if you prefer. If you decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the LHH services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
LHH secures personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment. Personal information will be managed confidentially and securely and destroyed appropriately. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Data Quality
LHH will take reasonable steps to ensure the data we collect, use and/or disclose is accurate, complete and up to date and has been obtained directly from individuals or other reputable sources.
Changes to this Statement
LHH may update this Statement of Privacy from time to time to reflect legislative changes and as the content of the LHH Web site develops. LHH encourages you to periodically review this Statement of Privacy.
