Privacy Policy

Welcome to BrandLicensingExpert.com, the official website for Licensing Brands Inc. (referred henceforth as ‘LBI’ or ‘our company’). Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience on this site as informative and rewarding as possible, and we want you to use the vast array of information, tools and opportunities with complete confidence.

We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy and security. This privacy Policy has been created to make its members and site visitors aware of the types of information LBI collects in connection with the Site, how that information is used and under what circumstances LBI may share that information with others. This policy may change at any time; any changes will be posted on this page. By using our company’s website and accessing the content contained within it, you signify that you understand and agree to the then-current version of this policy.

Introduction: Our Company collects information in different ways from Visitors and Members who access the various parts of our Service and the network of Web Sites accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily to provide a customized experience as you use our Products and Services, and generally do not share this information with third parties. However, we may disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special cases described below.

Normal Website Usage: The only data we collect and store during normal site usage is typical web server log data. Examples of this type of data are: the name of your Internet service provider, the site that referred you to us, any pages you request, and the time and date of those requests, etc. We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity to benefit users of this site. This same information may be shared with third parties in order to provide these services or to analyze, store, or aggregate the information. It may also be shared with other third parties, working with us to improve the services of LBI or this site.

Hyperlinked Websites: Any link, (including hyperlinks, buttons or referral devices of any kind) used on this site is provided for the use and convenience of the visitor. The appearance of a link on this site does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation or certification by LBI, nor should the presence of a link in any way be construed as a suggestion that the site has any relationship with LBI. 

LBI generally does not object to links to this site from third party sites. However, there are certain conditions that must be followed: 

Unless we enter into a specific written agreement with you, you may not use any of LBI's names, logos, designs, slogans, product trademarks or service marks in or with your links, except that you may link to this site using the plain text name of LBI. Do not present the link to this site in any way that suggests LBI has any relationship or affiliation with your site or endorses sponsors or recommends the information, products or services on your site. Do not use any of LBI's names, logos, designs, slogans, product trademarks or service marks in any advertising, publicity, promotion, or in any other commercial manner without the prior express written permission for a particular use from LBI. We ask that you link only to the home page/first page/registration page of the site. Please do not incorporate any content from this site into your site (e.g., by in-lining or framing). 

Do not use any of LBI's names, logos, designs, slogans, product trademark or service marks, or any other words or codes identifying sites in any "metatag" or other information used by search engines or other information location tools to identify and select sites, without LBI's express written permission for a particular use. “LBI” and LBI logo are trademarks and service marks of LBI. All other trademarks, service marks, and logos used in this site are the trademarks, service marks, and logos of their respective owners.

Registration: Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Products or Services including name, address, telephone number, and email id. The personal information collected from Members during the registration process is used to manage each Member's account. This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Electronic Mail Containing Personal Information and Confidential Ideas: Website users may decide to send LBI personally identifying information via email. We will use this information for the purpose identified in the email message and to enhance our understanding of you in order to improve our services to you. Any unsolicited ideas, including ideas for licensing programs, promotions, products, technologies, marketing plans or product names, that are sent to LBI for consideration via this site shall not be accepted by LBI, nor deemed confidential or proprietary information (including any original creative artwork, samples, or similar works).

Online Shopping: If you order services or products directly from our company we will use the personal information you provide only to process that order. All our payments are processed on the PayPal website, www.paypal.com and they may collect personal and financial information as per PayPal’s User Agreement. PayPal may or may not share any personal or financial information with our company. Please refer to PayPal’s Privacy Policy for reference. Regardless, we will not disclose your personal or financial information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

Online Advertisements: Our Company may display our online advertisements. In those cases we share aggregate and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Members collected through the registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.

Cookies: A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored within your browser or on your hard drive when you visit a cookie-enabled site. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites will send cookies to your browser or your hard drive, along with pages. Your browser probably has options that will let you control whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or notifies you each time a cookie is sent to you. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you may change your browser settings to refuse cookies. However, in so doing, you may not be able to fully utilize this site or may experience difficulties accessing parts of this site. If you set your browser to reject cookies, cookie-enabled sites will not recognize you when you return. This provides you with anonymity, but it also makes it very difficult to offer you customized services. If you set your browser to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent to your browser are stored in your computer for a period of time. There are a few different types of cookies. A "session" cookie is stored only in your computer's working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your browser's windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A "permanent" cookie is stored on your computer's hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies stay on your computer until either: 
a) they expire
b) they are overwritten with newer cookies
c) you manually remove them

LBI never uses cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. LBI does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever.

Voluntary Customer Surveys: We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential. Participation in our surveys is voluntary.

We may take the information we receive from individuals responding to our Customer Surveys and combine (aggregate) it with the responses of other customers we may have, to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated; non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.

Special Cases: We may disclose personal information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use of the Services or Web sites accessible through our Services, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including credit agencies, collection agencies, merchant database agencies, law enforcement, or to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, The Child Online Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service, or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect our company and our Members.

Our Company's Commitment to Data Security; Services and Web sites we sponsor have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this information.

Where to Direct Questions about Our Privacy Policy: If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or the practices described herein, you may contact us through the contact information provided on this Web site.

Revisions to This Policy: Our Company reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify this policy, our Terms of Service Agreement, and our other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner, by updating this posting.
