How We Gather Information From Users:

How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in
which you elect to participate and the services we provide. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you participate in contests, and other interactive areas of our site.

Like most Web sites, LARaqs.com also collects information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors.

For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to
recognize you and hold information from your visit. As we adopt additional technology, among
other things, a cookie may store a user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter
that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a
particular advertisement while visiting our site, or we may gather information through other
means.

In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions
of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to
customize the site’s features according to your preferences.


What We Do With the Information We Collect:

Like other Web publishers, we may collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising.  We also collect information in order to contact you about
the site, your submissions to the site, workshops and other special events, updates, services
and products offered by LARaqs.com, and other topics we think may be of interest to you. We
respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone, except contracted service
providers for purposes of providing services relating to our communications with you, or as
otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.

Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many
ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar
information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which
pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners, if any. Again, this information
does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on LARaqs.com to communicate with you
about your submissions to the site, workshops and other special events, updates, services and
products offered by LARaqs.com, and other topics we think may be of interest to you.  

Personally identifiable information collected by LARaqs.com may also be used for other purposes,
including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce
transactions, administration of contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties
who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for
example) may access such information.  In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop
our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.

We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts
you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.


Affiliated Sites, Linked Sites and Advertisements:

LARaqs.com expects its advertisers, affiliates, and partners, if any, to respect the privacy of our
users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including any such partners, advertisers, affiliates
and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection policies and practices.

For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a LARaqs.
com page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also, through LARaqs.
com you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features, contests or
sweepstakes offered by other parties. LARaqs.com is not responsible for the actions or policies
of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.

While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or
other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about
you. For example, some of our advertising may be served by third parties and may include
cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third
parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. LARaqs.com does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personally identifiable
information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can
be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of
LARaqs.com and this policy.


Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn
that we have personal information on a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information
from our systems. LARaqs.com encourages parents to go online with their children.

Here are a few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:

    ·        Teach kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent
            or responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
    ·        Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
    ·        Look for Web site privacy policies. Know how your child's information is treated.

    OUR POLICY IN A NUTSHELL:  

    We may use personally identifiable information (your name, e-mail address, street
    address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will not
    sell, barter or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.
