NOTICE: Information We Collect and How We Use It
L&W collects two types of information about you when you visit our site:
personal information (including, by way of example only, your name, address,
telephone number and e-mail address) and non-personal, aggregate information
(such as information regarding the pages on our site that you have visited
and your IP address).
1. Personally-Identifiable Information @ What We
Collect
The only personally-identifying information we collect and store about
you is the information that you choose to provide to us.

We will also gather your personally-identifiable information when you
send us an e-mail. We will use this information to respond to your e-mail.
We may also use the information to send you notifications about our service.
Business Partners/Professional Visitors Business partners and professional
visitors requesting access to specialized content areas of this Web site
may be required to provide identifying information.
2. Sharing Your Information
We may share your personally-identifiable information within L&W.
3. Non Personally-Identifiable Information:
What We Collect
The L&W Web site may collect non-personally identifiable information during
your visit, such as type of browser, operating system, domain name, or
IP address. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to
your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big
computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer
by its IP address. When you visit pages on L&W's Web site, our servers
log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable
information. This means that your session will be logged, but you remain
anonymous to us. IP address information is used only to improve the service
of the L&W site, and is then discarded at the end of each session on our
site.
L&W also collects information through "referrers" and various environmental
variables. A "referrer" is information the Web browser passes along to
L&W's Web server that references the URL from which you came. "Environmental
variables" include, among other things, the domain from which you access
the Internet, the time you accessed our Web site, type of Web browser
and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the Web
site you left to visit L&W, the names of the pages you visit while at
our Web site, and the Internet address of the Web site you then visit.
We collect all of this information to allow us to detect broad demographic
trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance
your experience on L&W's Web site. L&W may store "referrer" information
for a limited period of time prior to deleting this information.
Profiling
To help us improve our Web site and to ensure that we make every effort
to provide you with information and offers that are of interest to you,
we may merge your personally-identifiable information with click-stream
data and other data we have (including cookies and offline data). We will
provide notice of this, as well as an opportunity to opt-out of it, at
the time and place of information collection and before data is entered
on our system.
We may also develop a non-identifiable profile on you based on the pages
within our site that you visit.
4. Links
This Web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We
encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every Web
site that they visit. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected when you visit our Web site.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so you will always be aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
Special Policy Regarding Information
from Children Under Thirteen
This Web site is not targeted to children under the age of 13, and we
do not knowingly request personally identifiable information from any
child under the age of 13 without parental consent. When we do receive
such information, we delete it as soon as we discover it and do not use
it or share it with third parties.
