Privacy Policy

It is Leiter & Partner’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Leiter & Partner collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Leiter & Partner’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Leiter & Partner’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Leiter & Partner may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Leiter & Partner also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Deskish.com pages ("Desks"). Leiter & Partner only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that Desk commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the Desk where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Leiter & Partner’s websites choose to interact with Leiter & Partner in ways that require Leiter & Partner to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Leiter & Partner gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at Deskish.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Leiter & Partner are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Leiter & Partner collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Leiter & Partner. Leiter & Partner does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Leiter & Partner may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Leiter & Partner may monitor the most popular Desks on the Deskish.com site. Leiter & Partner may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Leiter & Partner does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Leiter & Partner discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Leiter & Partner’s behalf or to provide services available at Leiter & Partner’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Leiter & Partner’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Leiter & Partner will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Leiter & Partner discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Leiter & Partner believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Leiter & Partner, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Leiter & Partner website and have supplied your email address, Leiter & Partner may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Leiter & Partner and our products. We primarily use our various product desks and pages to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Leiter & Partner takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Leiter & Partner uses cookies to help Leiter & Partner identify and track visitors, their usage of Leiter & Partner's website, and their website access preferences. Leiter & Partner visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Leiter & Partner’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Leiter & Partner’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Leiter & Partner, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Leiter & Partner goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Leiter & Partner may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Leiter & Partner may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Leiter & Partner’s sole discretion. Leiter & Partner encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
