Cookies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used to collect information about your activity on the Websites. For example, when someone visits a page within a Website, a cookie is placed on the user's machine (if the user accepts cookies) or is read if the user has visited the Website previously. Cookies may also be used to track users across the Web. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but if you do, you may not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other users who visit the Websites. Some of the cookies we use may be flash cookies or Adobe cookies. Depending on your browser, these cookies may not be automatically deleted. Please check your browser to determine where these types of cookies are stored and how they may be deleted.
We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Websites.
When you access the Websites, third party advertising companies may use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your online activities (such as the pages you visit); these third parties may also collect information about your online activities across other third party websites over time. These companies may use this information to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our Websites.

Web Beacons.

When used in HTML-formatted email messages, web beacons can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
From time to time, we communicate with users who subscribe to our services via email or text message. For example, we may use your email address to confirm your request, to send you notice of payments, to send you information about changes to our products and services, and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law. Although you may opt out of marketing messages, please note that it is in your interest to ensure that we are able to deliver certain non-marketing-related messages, such as notices of payments, and that we may be required to deliver certain notices to you by law. In addition we may deliver certain marketing-related messages, and in this case, we ask your additional consent.
However, we provide you the opportunity to exercise an opt-out choice if you do not want to receive other types of communication from us, such as emails or updates from us regarding new services and products offered through the Services or if you do not want us to share your personal information with third parties. The opt-out choice may be exercised by ticking or un-ticking the appropriate box provided at the points where personal information is collected, or by contacting us using the contact details provided at http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/contact/chat-email/email. We will process your unsubscribe as soon as possible, but please be aware that in some circumstances you may receive a few more messages until the unsubscribe is processed.

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect your personal information in our custody or control from unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure. Nevertheless, due to the design of the internet, ever-changing technology, and other factors outside of our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and the Services will be free from unauthorized access by third parties or that LGE(Canada) will not be subject to security breaches.
