We prefer to keep your personal information accurate and up-to-date. To do this, we provide you with the opportunity to update or modify your personal information including billing and shipping information by logging into your lwshoes.com account
Our website is a general audience website and it is our intention that our website should be used only by persons over the age of 13. To ensure compliance with federal law, lwshoes.com does not knowingly collect or maintain information provided by children under the age of 13. If a parent provides us with the name and birthday of family members under the age of 13, we may collect and maintain that information as described in the “Information We Collect and How We Use It” section.
For your convenience, our website may contain links to other websites. Links that appear on lwshoes.com should not necessarily be deemed to imply that we endorse or have any affiliation with the linked websites. Lamey is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. We encourage you to review the separate privacy policies of each website you visit.
In addition, Lamey may partner with certain unrelated companies, known as influencers or affiliate marketers, who will link you to our website. We will report to them aggregate purchase conversion information about the total number of purchases made by visitors who arrived from their online services. The information will not include personal information. Lwshoes.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties providing these links and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of each of these third parties.
We employ reasonable security measures to secure the information we receive. For example, we take the following types of security measures: use of technologies and policies such as limited access data-centers, firewall technology, and secure socket layer certificate authentication. Any credit card/debit card information will be encrypted by the use of a “token” for security purposes.
We designed lwshoes.com to accept orders only from Web browsers that accept cookies and permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is encryption technology that provides security while information is being transmitted over the Internet.
While we implement the above security measures on this website, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.
We encourage you to take steps to help protect the confidentiality and security of your lwshoes.com account and personal information by periodically reviewing your lwshoes.com account and immediately reporting any unexpected activity or unrecognized information; installing the latest security updates and anti-virus software on your computer to help prevent malware and viruses; using complex and diverse passwords; keeping your password private; password protecting your computer and mobile device; and signing out of your lwshoes.com account before closing your internet browser.
Lamey collects various types of personal information from and about California residents both online (at lwshoes.com) and offline during the course of our customer relationship.
Sharing for Others’ Marketing Purposes. Under California law, if you are a resident of California, you may make a written request to Lamey to request how we have shared your information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. In response to your written request, Lamey is allowed to provide you with a notice describing the cost-free means to opt-out of our sharing your information with third parties with whom we do not share the same brand name if the third party will use it for their direct marketing purposes.
Lamey has chosen to provide you with a cost-free means to opt-out of such sharing. If you would like to instruct us to no longer share your personal information with third parties who will use it for direct marketing purposes, please let us know by contacting us at customerservice@lwshoes.com or at the following address:
Lamey Wellehan
940 Turner Street
Auburn, ME 04210
If you have any questions about this opt-out procedure, please write to the address provided above.
Online Tracking. Lamey may permit third parties to track the individual visitors to its website and the activities of those visitors on lwshoes.com over time, and they may track those visitors across other websites and online services if those websites and apps also use the same partners (as described above in the “Cookies, Pixel Tags, and Similar Technology” section). Currently, Lamey does not offer the option for its website visitors to make a “Do Not Track” election and does not have the capability to respond to electronic “Do Not Track” signals. Lamey reserves the right to add such capability to its website at any time in the future and will notify website visitors of this change in capability through an update to this Policy.
Privacy Rights Requests. California consumers have the right to request:
California consumers also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment if they exercise the rights list above.
When you make a request, we may require that you provide information and follow procedures so that we can verify the request and your jurisdiction before responding to it. The verification steps we take may differ depending on the request you make. We will match the information that you provide in your request to the information we already have on file to verify your identity. If we are able to verify your request, we will process it. If we cannot verify your request, we may ask you for additional information to help us verify your request.
To make requests, California consumers may call us at Email us at customerservice@lwshoes.com or call 1-800-370-6900 extension 103 between 8:30am and 5pm EST. Consumers will be required to submit their name, email address, and telephone number, and may also be asked to provide their address and a recent order number so that we can verify the request. Please provide as much of the requested information as possible to help us verify the request. We will only use the information received in a request for the purposes of responding to the request.
California law permits California consumers to use an authorized agent to make privacy rights requests. We require the authorized agent to provide us with proof of the California consumer’s written permission (for example, a power of attorney) that shows the authorized agent has the authority to submit a request for the California consumer. An authorized agency must follow the process described above to make a request, and we will additionally require the authorized agent to verify his/her own identity and we may confirm the agent’s authority with the California consumer about whom the request was made.
We do not sell personal information for money; however, in the prior 12 months, we have permitted third parties (online analytics and advertising companies, affiliates, and co-brand partners) to use personal information for their business and commercial purposes that may not directly benefit Lamey (such as to provide and improve their products and services or for their or others’ marketing purposes). This sharing may be considered a “sale” of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act. We shared (or “sold”) for these purposes the following categories of personal information: personal identifiers (including device identifiers), ratings and review content, commercial transaction information, personal characteristics, lwshoes.com browsing activities, and inferences drawn from these categories. We do not knowingly “sell” the personal information of individuals under the age of 16.
