Privacy Statement

Lucidus believes that the responsible use of personal information collected on its Web sites is critical to its business objectives and reputation. As part of our commitment to privacy, we have adopted this Online Privacy Statement.

The extent and type of information we receive from you on our external Web sites depends on the information you provide to us through our contact mailboxes and/or through the registration processes on our sites.

We only use your personally identifiable information to respond to your requests and to provide you with information about Lucidus's services. We may send you occasional updates when new services that may be of interest to you are created.

Some of our Web sites may invite you to register and provide information about yourself. We use the information you provide to personalize your online experience and to deliver the content most suited to your needs. You may email Lucidus at any time to request that you be removed from our mailing lists.

In addition, "cookies" (i.e., small text files placed on your computer when you visit some parts of the site) are used on some of our Web sites. Most browsers now recognize when a cookie is offered and permit you to refuse or accept it. If you are not sure whether your browser has this capability, you should check with the software manufacturer, your company's technology help desk or your Internet Service Provider.

Cookies are primarily used to enhance your online experience and are not used to track the navigational habits of identified visitors. If you visit our sites to read or download information, such as news stories or articles, much of the information we do collect is statistical only. We use this information about the number of visitors and their use of the sites in aggregate form to make our sites more useful and attractive to you.

The personal information you provide to us will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected or as required by law. We do not share personal information with third parties except as necessary to carry out our business or as required by law or other legal processes, and we never sell your personal information. By submitting data through Lucidus electronically, you are providing explicit consent to trans-border transmission of data collected via Lucidus's Web sites.

In addition, Lucidus has technological and operational security policies and procedures in place to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or unintentional destruction. Our personnel who have access to the data are committed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Lucidus understands the importance of protecting children's privacy, especially in an online environment. Our sites are not intentionally designed for or directed at children under the age of 18 years. It is our policy never to knowingly collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 18.

Lucidus recognizes its responsibility for protecting the online privacy of your personal information.
