Privacy

1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how LG Electronics, Inc. (“LGE”, “we”, “us”, “our”) processes any personal information we collect from you, or that you provide to us where you are acting in a business (“B2B”) capacity or on behalf of your employer. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal information and how we will treat it. This privacy policy applies to [https://www.lg.com/global/mobility] and any other websites and services controlled by LGE where this privacy policy is posted or referenced (collectively, the "Sites"). This privacy policy does not relate to information that is collected offline or to information that is posted or provided by third parties. This privacy policy also does not apply to personal information which we collect from you where you are using our products, services or accessing our sites as a consumer.
LG Electronics, Inc. is the data controller of your personal information. This is the entity which determines how and why your personal information is processed.
The Sites may provide access to websites and links to other services owned and operated by third parties. These third party services are outside the scope of this Privacy Policy and have their own policies that apply to the collection, use, and sharing of information in connection with their services. We encourage you to read those policies. LGE is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices of such third parties.
Personal Information
"Personal Information" is information that identifies you personally, or information from which you are identifiable, such as your name, address / country of residence, telephone number, email address, company name or in some cases your IP address and cookie IDs where this information can be combined with other information to identify you.

2. Information Collected

We may collect the following types of information from visitors to the Sites:

(1) Submitted Information
LGE may collect and store the Personal Information that you have provided to us. Below are some examples of the Personal Information we may collect on the Sites:

• • We may collect your first and last name, job title, work email address, phone number, company name, industrial sector, product group, budget or timeline if you contact us with an inquiry regarding, or express an interest in purchasing, our products or services;
• • We may additionally collect your billing information and mailing address if you purchase a product or service on the Sites;
• • We may additionally collect your mailing address and registration details about your LGE product if you submit a request for warranty services via LG.com, for example, where you request to have the LGE product repaired;

• • We may collect your first and last name, work email address and billing information if you download information from a Site; and
• • We may collect details of a claim you have made under a product warranty from one of our Authorised Service Centres, for example, where you have taken your product to an Authorised Service Centre in order for it to be repaired.

The above list is not exhaustive but provides examples of the Personal Information that may be collected on the Sites. If you do not want LGE to collect your Personal Information, please do not provide it to us, but it may be necessary to fulfil a service to you.

(2) Device and Usage Information
We may also collect information about how you use the Sites, explained below:

• • Cookies. We may collect cookies - small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – and other tracking technologies. LGE may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the service. Please note that if you delete, or choose not to accept cookies, you may not be able to utilize certain features of the service to their full potential.
• • Product Information. We may collect registration information or other details about your product or service. Unless this information is tied to your name or address, it is not considered personally identifiable.
• • Statistical Data. We may also collect information about your computer, mobile phone, personal electronic device, and all other similar electronic or mobile devices, including where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to collect aggregate information. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not show, and is not connected to, personal details that identify you.

3. Use of Information and Grounds for Processing

We may use your information that is collected on the Sites for the following purposes:

• • To provide information on our products and services;
• • To deliver products or services;
• • To complete a transaction or service requested by you;
• • To fulfil a warranty or repair request you have submitted;
• • To analyse, review, and improve the products or services we offer, to understand how customers are using the products and service, and to develop new products and services;
• • To ensure the Sites are relevant to your needs and you experience user-friendly navigation;
• • To notify you about a material change to this privacy policy, if necessary;
• • To contact you in response to sign up forms such as Contact Us, Inquiry to Buy or other enquiries;
• • To protect and defend our rights and property, including by way of legal proceedings;
• • To ensure compliance with legal obligations and regulatory requirements; and
• • For internal record keeping.

In addition, if and to the extent that you have explicitly agreed to receive marketing information, we also use your information for the following purposes:

• • To alert you to special offers, updated information and other new products or services from LGE, or other third parties, or to forward promotional materials to you; and
• • To help us create and publish content most relevant to you.

We may combine information obtained from the Sites, including personal information, with information that you provide to us by other means, for the purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We use your Personal Information for these purposes on the lawful basis that such use of your personal information is necessary for LGE: (i) to fulfil a contract that we have in place with you, for example, to deliver the products or services you have purchased from us, (ii) for the purposes of our or a third party’s legitimate interests (including our legitimate commercial and related interests, such as understanding our customers and potential customers and providing you with information on our products and services), (iii) for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or (iv) where you have given us your consent.
We may also rely on your employer’s legitimate interests to process your Personal Information when you make a purchase or otherwise interact with us on behalf of your employer.

4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

The following are some examples of how we may share or disclose your Personal Information:

• • To fulfil a service to you. For example, if you purchase or download an item from the Sites we may share your Personal Information in order to provide the item to you. In addition, if you email us a question, we may use your email address to process your request and respond to your question. In addition, if you purchase a product via the Sites, we may need to share your data with third parties in order to have that product delivered to you and installed as you requested. Also, if you are entering a competition or prize draw, we may use your Personal Information in order to fulfil the terms of that promotion.
• • To our affiliates and subsidiaries around the world for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. The term “affiliates” or “subsidiaries” refers to group companies who may be using LG name or who has common ownership or control such as LG CNS, LG Electronics France S.A.S. or LG Electronics U.K. Ltd. LGE may have to share your data with these parties in order to provide you with services that have been requested by you, or so that we can ensure our services and products are meeting your needs.
• • To selected third-parties including:
  • 1. Service providers, agents or independent contractors who help us maintain our Sites and provide other administrative services to us (including, but not limited to, data processing, order processing and fulfilment, customer service, maintaining and analysing data, and sending customer communications on LGE's behalf), such as Salesforce.com, Inc.
  • 2. Business partners where necessary, to enable you access to services you request or sign up for through our products or to any promotional material related to these services, such as our distributors and system integrators in order to provide you with product quotations, warranty service or other maintenance & repair services.
  • 3. Other third-parties to provide you with promotional or marketing communications, which we feel you are interested in or may be relevant to you. This is only if you have opted in to receiving such communications and you may opt out at any time by writing to us or clicking an opt-out link at the bottom of any third party marketing emails.

We will seek to ensure that these unaffiliated third parties will not use the Personal Information in a way which is outside the scope of this privacy policy and where applicable, for any purpose other than to provide the administrative services for which they are responsible. Because such unaffiliated third-party service providers help us administer our Sites, their access to users' Personal Information is necessary for the operation of our Sites. If you do not wish for our unaffiliated third-party service providers to have access to your information, please do not register or submit any Personal Information to us.

• • To comply with the law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the requirements of law or comply with legal process served on us, protect and defend our rights or property or act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of our end users.
• • To third parties as part of any corporate reorganisation process including, but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, and sales of all or substantially all of our assets.
• • To protect against potential fraud, we may verify with third parties the information collected from the Sites. In the course of such verification, we may receive Personal Information about you from such services.
• • To strategic partners, agents or other unaffiliated parties, but only with your additional express consent. These parties may use your Personal Information to contact you with an offer or advertisement related to a product or service.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy or at the time we request the information, we do not otherwise use, share or otherwise disclose your Personal Information to any third parties. LGE will take commercially reasonable steps in order to ensure any such third parties treat your Personal Information securely.

5. Retention

Your Personal Information will be retained for as long is reasonably necessary for the purposes listed in this policy and these are either for legitimate business interests, as required by law or as necessary to perform a service to you. Please contact us for further details of applicable retention periods.
We may anonymise your Personal Information and retain this information for statistical purposes without time limits, to the extent that we have a legitimate and lawful interest in doing so.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational methods to safeguard your information, for example, by password protecting (via usernames and passwords unique to you) certain parts of the Sites and by using SSL encryption and firewalls to protect against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. Whilst we will use all reasonable efforts to safeguard your information, you acknowledge that data transmissions over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any Personal Information that is transferred from you or to you via the internet and as such, any information you transfer to us is done at your own risk. If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

7. Protecting the Privacy of Minors under the age of 18

LGE does not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to use the Sites. If you are under 18 please do not attempt to register on the Sites or send us any Personal Information.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. When we do, we will also revise the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this Privacy Policy and only where appropriate, this may be communicated to you via email. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our Privacy Policy.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to: (i) request information on and access to all the Personal Information we hold about you; (ii) request that any inaccurate Personal Information we hold be corrected; (iii) to object to certain types of processing of your Personal Information we carry out (including the right to opt-out of any direct marketing) and withdraw any consent you have granted us; (iv) request that we delete the Personal Information we hold about you; and (v) to request a copy of your Personal Information in a machine readable, commonly used format (or to request we transfer your Personal Information in such a format to a third party service provider).
Whilst some of these rights can be exercised by you directly through our Sites, many of the rights, such as those relating to requests to delete your personal data, will need to be submitted to us [vssalesmarketing@lge.com]. We will consider such responses and respond to you within 30 days. We may also require verification of your identity for providing a copy of your information as permitted by law. Please note, there are a number of limitations to these rights, and there may be circumstances where we are not able to comply with your request.
