Privacy Policy
The Litaker Group and its affiliates (collectively referred to as “the LG”) respect the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that the LG may collect from you at its web sites ( “the Site”), what we do with that information, and with whom we may share the information.
USER AGREEMENT
Each user of the Site (“the User”) is encouraged to review this Privacy Policy. By using the Site, the User is accepting the Privacy Policy. The User cannot change the Privacy Policy. If the User does not agree to the Privacy Policy, then the User must not use the Site.
SCOPE
The Terms of Use apply to all LG web sites that are generally accessible by the public including this site and others that are created for and used by clients under contract with the LG. The Privacy Policy does not apply to password-protected web sites created by the LG for specific LG clients or projects, which by their nature require different uses of personal information. The policy also does not apply to the web sites to which this web site may link. If you choose to follow a link to another web site, please consult the privacy policy for that site.
AMENDMENTS
The LG may amend this Privacy Policy at any time without notice. It is the responsibility of the User to periodically review this Privacy Policy for changes. When amendments are made, the “revised” date at the top of the Privacy Policy will be amended accordingly. Your continued use of the Site after an amendment constitutes your acceptance of the amendment.
COLLECTION AND USE OF USER INFORMATION
The LG collects two types of User information: (1) computer information that is collected automatically; and (2) personal information that you enter voluntarily.
AUTOMATIC COLLECTION OF COMPUTER INFORMATION
When you visit the Site, the LG does not automatically collect personal information from you or about you (such as your name or mailing address). However, the Site does place small files called “cookies” on your computer to automatically collect and store certain types of data from the computer that you use to access the Site. This information includes but is not limited to the following: browser and platform type (e.g., Internet Explorer browser on a PC platform); the Internet Service Provider, or “ISP” (e.g., AT&T); the Internet Protocol (IP) address unique to the computer; the number and length of visits; the pages visited; and the referral source (e.g., Google) and search terms that led to the Site page. The LG uses this computer information to assess interest in the Site and its pages, and for other internal business purposes.
COLLECTION OF VOLUNTARILY PROVIDED PERSONAL INFORMATION
The LG also may request and collect certain personal information from Users who wish to be contacted by the LG or to receive LG information and publications such as white papers and newsletters. It may also include collection of information to support registration for meetings. This personal information may include the User’s name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address. The LG does not request or collect other personal information such as social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or financial account numbers. You are under no obligation to provide any information about yourself, though certain information may be needed in order to respond to a request for information or to register you for a meeting. We will not attempt to match this personal information with IP addresses and other automatically collected information, except as may be necessary to police misuse of the Site. You may opt out of receiving communications from the LG by contacting the Site Administrator.
INFORMATION SECURITY
You are responsible for ensuring that any login credentials are kept confidential. This includes user name and passwords that may be used to access the site or any meeting management pages, project pages, and webpages. Any restricted access to an LG site, page, or client site is done on the condition that you not share the login credentials. By using the LG site, you agree to keep login credentials confidential and agree to notify us immediately if you suspect the login credentials have been compromised.

For example, all information transmitted to or from the Site, including your computer information and User-entered personal information, may be accessible to nonaffiliated third-party vendors and contractors who provide services to the LG relating to the operation of the Site or the supply of requested information (e.g., analytics and optimization services).

User information also may be disclosed in connection with a merger or the sale of the LG assets, and User information posted by the User on a the LG blog may be accessible to anyone visiting the blog.
