We will also respond to User requests to delete or correct account or Personal Information, which you can do by contacting Lakeview at communication@lakeviewacademy.org.

Lakeview’s security of collected information

Your Lakeview account is password-protected so that only you and authorized Lakeview staff have access to your account information. In order to maintain this protection, do not give your password to anyone.   Also, if you share a computer, you should sign out of your Lakeview account and close the browser window before someone else logs on. This will help protect your information entered on public terminals from disclosure to third parties.

Lakeview makes every effort to ensure that your information is secure on its system by backing up data in separate backup drives and using public key access encryption and firewalls on both our main and backup servers. We also employ customer record managers to protect against loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Only certain authorized Lakeview staff can access Personal Information, and then only if it is relevant to their job duties. Lakeview has staff dedicated to maintaining this Privacy Policy and other privacy initiatives, periodically reviewing security and making sure that every Lakeview employee is aware of our security practices. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, Lakeview cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. While Lakeview will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all personal information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal and/or financial information stored therein, and you agree to hold Lakeview harmless for any damages that may result therefrom. Lakeview expressly disclaims any liability that may arise should any other individuals obtain the information you submit to this website.

With whom does Lakeview share information?

Lakeview reserves the right to disclose Personal Information from both private and public areas of this website at our discretion, if required by law or if we are given reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that someone is causing injury to or interference with the rights of Users, the general public, or Lakeview, to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process.

We will not transfer to a non-Agent third party any Personal Information without your prior affirmative consent.

Finally, Lakeview reserves the right to transfer, sell and/or distribute all information collected through the Service to an affiliate, subsidiary, or third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or part of its business, assets or stock.  Lakeview will use its best efforts to ensure that the new entity follows this Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Information, as and to the extent required by applicable law.

How can Users edit their information?

Lakeview believes strongly in giving you the ability to access and edit your Personal Information.  You can view, update and correct your account information. You may edit your account information at any time -- all you need is your username and password.

So that we can protect the integrity of sensitive data, there are certain pieces of information, such as your age, that you cannot alter yourself. For example, since children under 18 are not allowed to register as Users, we need to take reasonable measures to preserve the accuracy of our Users’ ages. Please contact us to find out how to change information you cannot access through your account.

Our databases automatically update any Personal Information you edit in your profile or that you request we edit. Information remains in our databases and becomes the property of Lakeview upon submission.

Notification of changes
Lakeview’s security and privacy policy are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. This policy might change as Lakeview updates and expands the Service. Lakeview will endeavor to notify you of these changes by email, but will not be liable for any failure to do so. Lakeview also encourages you to review this privacy policy periodically. If you do not understand any of the terms or conditions of any of Lakeview’s policies, you may inquire regarding the same via email at communication@lakeviewacademy.org.
