HOW WE PROTECT AND STORE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Throughout this policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. This Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information that has been anonymized so that it does not and cannot be used to identify a specific user. Look Lateral takes reasonable precautions, as described herein, to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

We may store and process your personal and transactional information, including certain payment information, such as your encrypted bank account and/or routing numbers, on our computers in the United States and elsewhere in the world where Look Lateral affiliates, facilities, or our service providers are located, and when we do so we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities. Users outside the United States should understand that their data will be transferred internationally.

We store our customers' personal information securely throughout the life of the customer's Look Lateral Account. Look Lateral will retain your personal information for a minimum of five years or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations or to resolve disputes.
