If LW information practices change in the near future, we will use only data collected from the time of the policy change forward for these new purposes.

For visitors who sign-up or become a registered member to the forum or other services, please read the following:

When you register to become a forum member, we only require your name and e-mail information. We will follow this up with a verification e-mail to confirm that you wished to register as a member. This is referred to as ‘double opt-in’ method and is used explicitly for your protection and verification of your email identity.

LW will include offers and/or promotions from our partner affiliates only when contacting directly via e-mail with your registration. Your information will remain private and will not be shared directly with these affiliates at any time.

This information is used only by LW to deliver your requests and to contact you again about other services and products we offer in the future. Your information will remain the property of LW and as of April 1, 2007, this information will NOT be shared without additional direct opt-in permission as contacted by our staff.

E-mail addresses

We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate or contact us directly via e-mail. The e-mail addresses are used to contact existing customers about special offers and promotions from our affiliates. Consumer provided e-mails are also kept for the purpose of providing consumer advice, assistance and direct LW special offers. We will only share consumer e-mail addresses you provide to us with other marketers if you go through an additional opt-in process communicated directly from LW.

If you do not want to receive future e-mails from LW, please let us know by sending an e-mail to LocalWino Marketing.
