Leo Schachter is committed to respecting the privacy rights of our Web Site visitors. The following Privacy Policy describes how we collect, protect, and use information we receive from visitors to our Web Site.
Types of Information Collected
At Leo Schachter, the confidentiality of your information is very important to us. We employ a number of measures to keep the data you voluntarily supply safe. By default you visit our Web Site anonymously. When visiting our Web Site, we do collect technical information about your visit such as the type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox), the length of visit, as well as the pages viewed and a host of other similar information.
There are functions on our site or social media sites where personally identifiable information such as your e-mail or postal address is requested with your explicit consent (e.g., when you request a brochure or enter a sweepstakes). While this information is retained by us, it is not sold to third parties and only used by Leo Schachter and its related companies. We use e-mail addresses to communicate with you regarding transactions between us or your customer relationship with us. We may also use your e-mail to share information about Leo Schachter products and services that may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of receiving such promotional messages from us at any time. Please refer to the “How can you opt-out, remove, or modify information you have provided to us?” section below.
We do employ third parties who act on our behalf to help us manage and analyze this data but they are required to keep this data confidential. They also can only use the information for the specific services we ask them to perform and they must inform us of any theft of it.
We also receive and store click-stream data and other information about visits to our Web Sites which may be combined with personal information you have provided. This information is used to analyze and improve the website experience. For more information, see the “Do we use ‘cookies’?” section below.Like many websites, we use “cookies” to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits made to our websites.

How do we protect visitor information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.
Do we use “cookies”?
Yes. “Cookies” are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use “cookies” to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use “cookies” to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitor. These service providers are not permitted to sell the information collected on our behalf except to help Leo Schachter conduct and improve its business. The companies use “cookies” to gather anonymous data about our visitors on behalf of Leo Schachter. They do not collect personally identifiable information like e-mail, credit card number, phone number, or name.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a “cookie” is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Internet Explorer or Mozilla) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify your “cookie” settings. If you turn off “cookies,” you won’t have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.
Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information, except as described in the Privacy Policy. The term “outside parties” does not include Leo Schachter affiliated companies. It also does not include Web Site hosting partners or other parties who assist us in operating our Web Site, conducting Leo Schachter business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our Web Site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to outside parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
