This Privacy Policy applies primarily to the consulting and creative service side of LYBO operated through LeverageYourBusinessOnline.com.

Information collected when you create an LYBO.biz account, purchase or use a product there, communicate with product support, or otherwise use that platform may be collected and processed by GoDaddy and other applicable providers under their respective privacy notices and agreements.

This Privacy Policy does not replace the privacy terms applicable to LYBO.biz or another third-party platform.

The information LYBO collects depends on how you interact with us.

We may collect information such as:

• Name;
• Email address;

Please provide only information reasonably necessary for your inquiry or project.

Do not submit Social Security numbers, complete payment-card information, medical records, protected health information, government identification numbers, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through a general Site contact or file-upload form unless LYBO specifically requests the information through an appropriate method.

If you create a Site account, we may receive information associated with that account, such as:

• Name;
• Email address;

When you schedule an appointment or place an order through the Site, we may collect information necessary to process and manage that booking or order.

If payment functionality is offered through the Site, payment transactions may be processed by a third-party payment processor.

LYBO does not intentionally collect or retain complete payment-card numbers when payment information is handled directly by the payment processor.

We may retain transaction-related information such as payment status, amount, date, invoice information, and related accounting records.

LYBO may receive information from third parties when necessary to provide Services or operate the Site.

Examples may include:

• Website hosting and platform providers;
• Payment processors;
• Scheduling providers;
• Email and communication services;
• Analytics providers;
• Security and spam-prevention services;
• Social-media platforms;

When a third party independently collects information from you, its own privacy policy generally governs that collection.

LYBO may use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries;
• Evaluate project needs;
• Schedule consultations;
• Prepare proposals and estimates;
• Provide website, design, photography, consulting, or technical Services;
• Manage projects;
• Provide customer support;

We may use information and aggregated observations to understand how visitors use the Site, improve Services, develop new offerings, and make LYBO's digital experience more useful.

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to support functionality, security, preferences, analytics, and other Site operations.

Cookies are small data files stored on or associated with your device.

Depending on Site configuration, cookies may include:

These support functions such as:

• Site operation;
• Account sign-in;
• Security;
• Session management;
• Fraud prevention;
• Shopping, booking, or account functionality;
• Remembering preferences.

These may help LYBO understand matters such as:

• Which pages visitors view;
• How visitors navigate the Site;
• General traffic patterns;
• Site performance and technical problems.

If LYBO enables advertising, remarketing, social-media measurement, or similar technologies, those technologies may collect information as described by their respective providers and applicable consent settings.

Where available, visitors may use the Site's cookie banner or privacy controls to accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.

Browser settings may also allow you to delete or restrict cookies.

Disabling certain cookies may affect Site features or functionality.

Where applicable law requires additional consent or opt-out mechanisms, LYBO will endeavor to provide them through the Site or its technology providers.

LYBO uses third-party technology to operate portions of the Site.

These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services.

Current Site functionality may include services such as:

The Site uses technology and website services supplied by GoDaddy. GoDaddy may process technical, account, transaction, security, and other information according to its own privacy notices and applicable agreements.

Certain Site forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA to help identify and reduce automated abuse, fraud, and spam.

Google's applicable privacy policy and terms govern information processed through reCAPTCHA.

The Site may contain embedded video, social-media links, or other third-party content, including services such as Vimeo.

When you interact with embedded or linked third-party content, the provider may receive information about your device or interaction according to its own privacy practices.

The presence of a third-party link or integration does not mean LYBO controls that third party's privacy practices.

If you subscribe to the LYBO newsletter, request updates, or otherwise agree to receive marketing communications, LYBO may use your email address and related information to send:

• Newsletter content;
• Educational information;
• Promotions;
• Service announcements;
• Security alerts;
• Platform or product updates;
• New service information;
• Business and online-presence guidance.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe option contained in the message or another opt-out method LYBO provides.

Opting out of marketing does not prevent LYBO from sending necessary transactional, account, security, project, billing, or service-related communications.

LYBO does not disclose personal information indiscriminately.

We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

We may provide information to companies that perform services on our behalf, such as:

• Website and hosting providers;
• Cloud-service providers;
• Email providers;
• Scheduling services;
• Payment processors;
• Analytics providers;
• Security and anti-spam providers;
• Business software providers;
• Contractors or professional advisers where appropriate.

Such information should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the applicable service.

We may provide information to a third party when you ask or authorize us to do so.

For example, a website project may require LYBO to provide information to your hosting provider, domain provider, software vendor, printer, photographer, developer, or other service provider.

LYBO may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or lawful governmental request;
• Enforce an agreement;
• Detect or investigate fraud or security incidents;
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of LYBO, our clients, users, or others;
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If LYBO undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or other legitimate business transition, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

LYBO does not intentionally sell personal information for monetary consideration.

Certain analytics, advertising, social-media, or tracking technologies—if enabled—may constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under the specific definitions of some state privacy laws even when money is not exchanged.

Where LYBO is subject to such a law and such technology is used, LYBO will provide the required notice and applicable opt-out mechanism.

Visitors may also use available Site cookie controls to manage non-essential tracking where those controls are provided.

In providing website, consulting, configuration, or technical Services, LYBO may occasionally encounter information that belongs to or is controlled by a client.

For example, a client may give LYBO temporary administrative access to a website, customer-management system, analytics account, domain account, or other business technology.

LYBO will use such access for legitimate Service purposes.

Clients remain responsible for determining whether they have appropriate authority, notices, consents, and legal bases to provide LYBO access to personal information contained within their systems.

Projects involving substantial regulated or sensitive personal information may require separate contractual, security, or data-processing arrangements.

The general Site is not intended to collect highly sensitive or specially regulated personal information.

Unless expressly agreed through an appropriate written arrangement, do not use general LYBO contact forms to submit:

• Social Security numbers;
• Complete financial-account numbers;
• Complete payment-card information;
• Medical records or protected health information;
• Authentication passwords;
• Government-issued identification numbers;
• Biometric information;
• Highly sensitive employment records; or
• Other information requiring specialized legal or security treatment.

If a project requires access to sensitive information, contact LYBO first so an appropriate method can be considered.

LYBO retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

• Responding to inquiries;
• Completing Services;
• Maintaining client relationships;
• Providing support;
• Maintaining necessary business and financial records;
• Protecting legal rights;
• Resolving disputes;
• Meeting tax, accounting, contractual, or legal requirements;
• Protecting systems and investigating security matters.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the nature of the relationship.

Information may be deleted, anonymized, archived, or retained for a longer period when reasonably necessary or legally required.

LYBO takes reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, storage system, internet transmission, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are therefore encouraged to use appropriate security practices, including:

• Strong and unique passwords;
• Multi-factor authentication where available;
• Secure methods for transmitting sensitive credentials;
• Current software;
• Appropriate backups;
• Promptly removing obsolete account access.

If you believe information you provided to LYBO may have been compromised, contact LYBO promptly.

Depending on the nature of your relationship with LYBO and the law applicable where you reside, you may be able to:

• Request information about personal information LYBO maintains about you;
• Request access to personal information;
• Request correction of inaccurate information;
• Request deletion of certain information;
• Request a portable copy of certain information;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent;
• Opt out of marketing communications;
• Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing where applicable;
• Appeal certain decisions regarding a privacy request where applicable.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions.

For example, LYBO may need to retain information to complete a transaction, maintain required financial records, protect legal rights, detect fraud, or comply with law.

You may submit a privacy request through the contact method available on LeverageYourBusinessOnline.com and identify the request as a Privacy Request.

Please provide enough information for LYBO to understand and reasonably verify the request.

LYBO may request additional information when reasonably necessary to confirm identity or authority before disclosing, correcting, or deleting personal information.

Where applicable law permits an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, LYBO may request evidence of that authorization.

LYBO will not unlawfully discriminate against an individual for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Certain U.S. states provide additional privacy rights to residents when a business meets the statutory requirements for coverage.

Where a state privacy law applies to LYBO and to your information, LYBO will honor the rights required by that law.

Those rights may include rights to:

• Know or access personal information;
• Correct information;
• Delete information;
• Obtain certain information in portable form;
• Opt out of sale;
• Opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of sharing;
• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and
• Appeal the denial of a privacy request.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to represent that a particular state privacy statute applies to LYBO when the statutory requirements for coverage have not been met.

The Site and LYBO's Services are intended for a general and business-oriented audience and are not directed to children under 13.

LYBO does not knowingly seek to collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to LYBO through the Site, please contact LYBO so the situation can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

The Site may contain links to LYBO.biz, social-media services, hosting companies, software providers, payment services, embedded media, and other third-party websites.

LYBO does not control the privacy or security practices of independent third parties.

You should review the privacy policy of a third party before providing personal information to that service.

LYBO operates from the United States.

If you access the Site from another country, your information may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations used by LYBO's technology and service providers.

Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.

Where applicable law imposes additional requirements concerning international processing or transfer of personal information, LYBO will endeavor to comply with those requirements to the extent applicable to its activities.

Where applicable privacy law requires LYBO to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, processing may be based upon one or more of the following:

• Performance of a contract or steps requested before entering a contract;
• Your consent;
• LYBO's legitimate business interests, where those interests are not overridden by applicable individual rights;
• Compliance with a legal obligation; or
• Protection of LYBO's or another person's legal rights and legitimate interests.

You may withdraw consent for future processing where consent is the applicable legal basis, subject to legal and contractual limitations.

LYBO may use information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it is no longer reasonably linked to a particular individual for purposes such as analytics, business planning, Site improvement, and understanding general service usage.

Where required by applicable law, LYBO will maintain such information in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it except as legally permitted.

LYBO may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect:

• Changes in Site functionality;
• New Services;
• New technology providers;
• Changes in business practices;
• Changes in privacy or security requirements;
• Changes in applicable law.

The “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy identifies the most recent revision.

Where required by law, material changes will be communicated through appropriate additional notice.

Questions, concerns, or requests concerning this Privacy Policy or LYBO's privacy practices may be submitted through the contact form available on LeverageYourBusinessOnline.com.

Please identify privacy-related correspondence as a Privacy Request when appropriate.
