3. How will Lamarray B.V. use the information they collect about you?

 

Lamarray B.V. will use your personal information for a number of purposes including the following:

 

• for "service administration purposes", which means that Lamarray B.V. may contact you for reasons related to the service you have signed up for, as set out in paragraph 4 below (e.g. to provide you with password reminders or to notify you that a particular service has been suspended for maintenance);
• to contact you about a submission you have made to the websites, including any content you provide.
• to personalise the way Lamarray B.V. content is presented to you.
• IP addresses are used to identify the location of users, the number of visits from different countries and also to block disruptive use; and
• to analyse and improve the services offered on xs2models.net. e.g. to provide you with the most user-friendly navigation experience.

 

Where Lamarray B.V. proposes using your personal information for any other uses we will ensure that we notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for your use other than as listed above.

Lamarray B.V. won''t contact you for marketing purposes, or promote new services to you unless you specifically agree to be contacted for these purposes.

 

6. Will Lamarray B.V. share your personal information with anyone else?

 

We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies) or as described in paragraph 7 below. Generally, we will only use your information within Lamarray B.V.

 

7. Offensive or inappropriate content on Lamarray B.V. website

 

If you post or send offensive, inappropriate or objectionable content anywhere on or to xs2models.net, or otherwise engage in any disruptive behaviour on xs2models.net, Lamarray B.V. may use your personal information to stop such behaviour.

 

Where Lamarray B.V. reasonably believes that you are or may be in breach of any of the laws of the Netherlands (e.g. because content you have posted may be defamatory), Lamarray B.V. may use your personal information to inform relevant third parties such as your employer, school e-mail/Internet provider or law enforcement agencies about the content and your behaviour.

 

8. What if you are a user aged 17 or under?

 

If you are aged 17 or under, please leave this website immediately. You are not allowed to register.

 

9. How long will Lamarray B.V. keep your personal information?

 

We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant service, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with Lamarray B.V. or Lamarray B.V.''s corporate retention schedule (this is a database that defines which documents should be kept and for how long). In the case that you wish to cancel your registration as a xs2models.net member, once an account is deleted a red flag goes on the database and, while people cannot use the personal information, it stays on the system for a period of one year for administration purposes before being deleted automatically.

 

Where you contribute to xs2models.net Lamarray B.V. will generally only keep your content for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted. For example, Lamarray B.V. will only keep copies of entries to a photographic competition for the duration of the competition. However other projects are likely to have a longer, or even permanent, duration.

 

10. Can you find out what personal information Lamarray B.V. holds about you?

 

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information Lamarray B.V. holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge €10 for information requests and will require you to prove your identity with 2 pieces of approved photographic identification.) We will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you on our files.

12. Cookies Policy -Information Lamarray B.V. collects from you

 

a. What is a cookie?

 

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website''s computer and is stored on your device''s hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser''s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

 

Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the xs2models.net features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

 

During the course of any visit to xs2models.net, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.

 

b. How does Lamarray B.V. use cookies?

 

Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience.
