2.0 PURPOSE
The intent of this policy is to generally describe Livewire’s use and protection of your private information. Due to the nature of our services, we may revise or expand upon this policy on a per-engagement basis.

Our goal is to collect, use and disclose only that information reasonably required to enable us to provide the particular product or service that you have requested, to maintain our customer/ visitor lists and/or to respond to your inquiries or feedback and for other purposes further described in this Policy.
4.0 POLICY
4.1 Acceptance of Terms
By retaining us to provide you with our services, you voluntarily consent to the collection, use and disclosure of various types of information as specified in this Privacy Policy. Clients will be notified of any material amendment to this Privacy Policy by email (sent to the email address specified in your account), or by postal mail (sent to the billing address specified in your account).
4.2 Collection of Information
Three types of information may be collected: Personal Information, Non-Personal Information, and Confidential Information.
4.2.1 Personal Information
“Personal Information” means personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and credit card information. At the time of collection, we will set out clearly the information that we are collecting and the purposes for which we will use it. It is always your choice whether or not to provide Personal Information. If you choose not to provide requested Personal Information, you will not be able to use certain features of the Website and/or Services and you will not be able to engage in transactions through the Website. We also may receive Personal Information from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that their use of the Personal Information conforms to applicable privacy laws. Business contact information such as the name, title, business address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
4.2.2 Non-Personal Information
“Non-Personal Information” is information that is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the Website and the Services. We need this information in order to operate the Website and the Services, but we do not share it with any third parties. This policy does not restrict our use of Non- Personal Information. For example, our web servers may automatically collect information of an anonymous nature that is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie when you choose to visit the Website, such as an Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain used to access the Website, and the type and version of browser or operating system being used. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors, what pages users access or visit, average time spent on the Website, and information volunteered by the user, such as survey information, is also considered Non- Personal Information. “Cookies” may be used by Livewire to track content usage and traffic on the Website. Livewire uses Cookies to help us compile aggregate statistics about usage of the Website, such as how many users visit the Website, how long users spend viewing the Website, and what pages are viewed most often. This information is used to improve the content of the Website.
4.2.3 Confidential Information
“Confidential Information” refers to information that might be confidential to your organization. Livewire only has access to the Confidential Information of our clients through the course of providing the Services and does not have access to the Confidential Information of visitors to the Website. We do not use or retain any Confidential Information except where such retention and use are ancillary to providing the Services to our clients. Duly-authorized representatives from customer organizations are required to review this Policy and consent to the access required by Livewire to provide the Services prior to finalizing a Service Contract.
4.3 Use of Information
Livewire collects information mainly for the following purposes: To contact and correspond with you; To enable your use of the Services; To understand your needs and develop and recommend suitable products and services; To process transactions and payments; To facilitate and enhance your use of the Website; and To meet legal and regulatory requirements. Your Personal Information will not be used for any purpose other than the reasons stated at the time of collection without your consent. Livewire does not actively collect personally identifiable user information for the purpose of sale or marketing in a way that specifically identifies the individual. In other words: we don’t sell customer lists. The Confidential Information of our customers will not be used for any purpose other than to deliver the Services. Only that Confidential Information which is needed to deliver the Services will be accessed and used by Livewire as described in this Policy.
4.4 Disclosure of Information
Livewire feels very strongly about the confidentiality of your Personal Information and of our customers’ Confidential Information. Livewire will not share this information with any third party, except as indicated below. From time to time we may employ or partner with third parties to provide various technologies and services (e.g. hosting, database management, maintenance, etc.) to help us improve our Website and to provide our Services. These third parties may have access to Personal Information and/or Confidential Information solely for the purpose of helping us to provide our Services.
4.4.1 Important Exceptions
We may disclose your Personal Information to a third party without your consent if we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other Website or Service users or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose Personal Information when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is required by and in accordance with the law. We may also disclose your Personal Information in connection with a corporate re-organization, a merger or amalgamation with another entity, or a sale of all or a substantial portion of our assets provided that the information disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.
