LDA Privacy Statement

Promotions and Events

Personal data may be required to keep you informed of developments in new or existing activities, guidance services and facilities, promotions, conferences, seminars and training offerings.

Free software download

When you download software from our website we may request your contact information in order to process your order.

Subscriptions and newsletters

Users of our website may register for e-mail newsletters and news updates. This service is entirely optional and you may unsubscribe at any time.

Contests and surveys

From time to time we may offer users the option of participating in contests or surveys. Participation is entirely optional. Any information you provide during the course of a contest or research will be used to improve facilities and services or to award prizes. Additional terms and conditions may apply to contests, which will be notified to prospective applicants.

Optional Information

We may request optional information from you on our registration forms. We request this optional information so that we may serve you better (for example to provide more tailored products and services to you) and so that we may understand our users better (for example through internal research, data analysis, market research and product research). If additional information is requested, it will be identified as optional.

Information from other sources

In the normal course of our business, the LDA supplements the contact information provided by our users with information from third party marketing firms. We use this additional information (for example demographic and census information) to improve our service by, for example, appropriately targeting our offers, promotions, services and events.
