The term “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) as applied to any Person means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interest. The term “Person” means any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, unincorporated organization or association, any trust, or any other business entity.

By continuing to access or use of the Website following the posting of any amended, changed, or otherwise modified provisions to the Privacy Policy, you acknowledge that you agree with the changes, modification, and amendments.


INFORMATION COLLECTED AND STORED AUTOMATICALLY
If you do nothing during your visit but browse/search through the website, read pages, or download information, Lamar will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. Lamar automatically collects and stores only the following information about your visit:

  • The Internet domain and IP address from which you access the Website
  • The type of browser and operating system used to access the Website
  • The date and time you access the Website
  • The length of time you spent on the Website
  • The pages you visit
  • The search term(s) used in our search engine
  • If you linked to the Website from another website, the address of that website.

The above is collectively referred to as “Usage Information.” The Usage Information is used to make the Website more useful to visitors, to learn about the number of visitors to the Website and the types of technology that visitors use.


TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
The Website has certain areas where you may voluntarily submit information. “Personal Information,” as used in this Privacy Policy, means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, your name, company name, address, telephone number, email address, and other information that personally identifies you or would permit Lamar to contact you. Except as otherwise defined by applicable laws and in the State Privacy Laws section below, in this Privacy Policy Personal information does not include cookies or Usage Information.

The Websites do not target and are not intended for children under the age of 16. Lamar does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 16 or send them requests for personal information. No information should be submitted to Lamar by a child under the age of 16.
 

IP ADDRESS AND LOG FILES
Lamar may use your IP address and Usage Information to administer the Websites, to help diagnose problems with servers, to analyze trends, to track users’ webpage movements, to help identify you, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.


COOKIES
The Website may use technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the Website. Cookies reside on your computer and help the Website to recognize your computer’s browser as a previous visitor. In addition, on occasion, the Website may also set a “session cookie” which helps Lamar administer the Website. The session cookie expires when you close your browser and does not retain any information about you after it expires.  Some browsers have a Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that lets users signal to websites that they do not want to have their online activities tracked. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers, except to the extent required by applicable privacy laws.


INFORMATION YOU VOLUNTARILY PROVIDE
If you choose to provide Lamar with Personal Information by sending an e-mail to Lamar or by filling out a form with your Personal Information and submitting it through the Website, Lamar will use that information to respond to your message, to fulfill your request, and to assist Lamar in providing you with information.

Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, Lamar does not disclose, share, release, publish, disseminate, rent, or sell any Personal Information to any third parties.
 

COMMERCIAL SERVICES
The Websites may offer products and/or services, which may be offered by Lamar. You may use a customer order form on the Website to request information, products, and services. The customer order form may ask you to give Lamar contact information, financial information, such as a credit card number, and demographic information, such as your age or zip code.

Lamar will use the financial information provided on the customer order form to bill you for the products and/or services which you order. By providing your financial information and related Personal Information, you are authorizing Lamar to give that information to a payment processor (such as Adyen) and/or the credit card company in order to confirm and fulfill your order. Lamar may use a third party to process online payments and therefore you authorize Lamar to transfer your financial information and related Personal Information to such third party to process your order. Lamar will use the Personal Information from the customer order form to fulfill your order.
