Privacy Policy

LUSA, LLC, a California limited liability company (“LUSA” or “we” or “us” or “our”), has created this privacy policy (this "Privacy Policy") in order to demonstrate its commitment to user, visitor, subscriber and customer privacy with regard to the LUSA web site located at www.lusalighting.com (the “Website”). Privacy on the Website is of great importance to us. Because we gather important information from our users, visitors and customers (individually and collectively “you” or “your”), we have established this Privacy Policy as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices. By accessing the Website, you acknowledge and agree to this Privacy Policy and also agree to the Terms of Use of the Website located here.

We use the personal information that you provide about yourself for a number of internal purposes, such as confirming your order and maintaining a record of your online product purchases. We also use your personal information to send you information about special promotions. In addition, we may use your personal information to contact you if we have trouble processing your order.

Furthermore, when you order from us, you are asked for your street address, email address, name and ZIP/postal code. You may also be asked for other information. When placing an order on our Website, we ask you for contact information like name and shipping address, and payment information like credit card number, expiration date, and customer card identification number. Without providing information like this you will be unable to order products on our Website.

We use the information provided to us to enhance and personalize your online shopping experience with us, to communicate with you both on and offline about our products that may be of interest to you.

We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and look at this data for user trends and statistics. We may also look at your use of our online services like joining our email list, saving viewed products, leaving a product review, or purchasing a product from us online.

We do not share the credit card information you provide to us with anyone other than your credit card provider. However, other information about you may be combined with publicly available information, as well as information we receive from reputable companies we have selected to analyze the data we collect.

LUSA takes your privacy very seriously. As part of our privacy policy, we follow the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), a new law that gives rights to California state residents, known as 'consumers'. You can read more about the policy here.

We reserve the right to disclose your personal information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities that may be causing injury to you, LUSA, or to others. We may also disclose personal information when we believe the law requires it.

Marketing Partnerships

We maintain relationships with select business partners whom we have deemed to be trustworthy and responsible and whose privacy policies are aligned with ours. We partner with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms, including but not limited to, computers, mobile devices, and TVs for advertising, analytics, attribution and reporting purposes.

We may share or cross-reference data, including personal information about you and your order (such as name, street address and transactional information, etc.), with our business partners, allowing them to contact you regarding products and/or services that may be of interest to you. We may also share your personal information with any of our subsidiaries and affiliates.

In addition, when we join with another company to offer or provide services, products, or promotions, we and the other company may cross-reference our customer databases to identify common customers. We and the other company may use that existing information to identify future promotional opportunities and to fulfill promotional or contractual obligations.

If you prefer that we do not share your name and address with other marketers, please email us at contact@lusalighting.com.

Your Shine the Light Law Privacy Rights

LUSA complies with Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code – the "Shine the Light Law."

Under Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, residents of California that have an established business relationship with LUSA and that have provided certain personal information to LUSA (“California Consumer”) have the right to request certain information from LUSA. California Consumers may request that LUSA disclose (i) the types of personal information shared with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, if any and (ii) the identity of any such third party with whom LUSA has shared personal information, if any, during the previous calendar year.

California Consumers may make one such request each year.

To submit a request for information please email LUSA at contact@lusalighting.com. Please include "Request for California Privacy Information" in the subject line and in the body of your email. LUSA will respond with the requested information, if any, to the email.

Your California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a law that gives various rights to California state residents. CCPA gives residents the right to request the disclosure of any or all personal information held on you for the previous twelve months from the time of request, and the right to delete information and opt-out of the sharing of information with third-party marketers.

Canadian Anti-Spam Law (CASL)

CASL applies to commercial electronic messages (CEMs) of all types (i.e., email, texts, sound, voice or image messages) meant to encourage participation in a commercial activity (e.g., offer to purchase a product, advertise or promote a product). Its key feature requires organizations that send CEMs within, from, or to Canada to receive consent from you the consumer before sending messages. Consent can be obtained either explicitly or implicitly. Examples of explicit consent include but are not limited to signing up for our mailing list online, entering sweepstakes and contests, and information requests made via one of our online services. Implied consent stems from either the purchase of a product or inquiry about a product; implied consent is considered valid for 24 months following the purchase of a product, and 6 months following an inquiry about a product.

If you are on our commercial electronic messages mailing list, you may unsubscribe from it at any time. Unsubscribe instructions are included with each of our emails. You may also visit our online email page and unsubscribe. If you choose to unsubscribe, your address will be removed in no more than 10 business days. Please allow 5 days for us to remove your email address from any future mailings. Please note that should you order from us in the future, you will still receive order and shipping confirmations from us via email.

Contests and Promotions

When we offer contests and promotions, or join with other companies to do so, customers who choose to participate in those contests and promotions may be asked to provide personal information to participate. That information may then be used by us and any company offering the contest or promotion to notify winners or to fulfill promotional obligations.

Product and Store Reviews

At this time, we are only able to display and accommodate product reviews written by customers on lusalighting.com. When you leave a product review on lusalighting.com, the information you provide about yourself, including your email address, is collected for us by a third-party vendor. Customer comments are reviewed both by our third-party vendor and by LUSA. Any personal information collected in the product review process, including email addresses, is covered by our LUSA privacy policy as outlined here and by our Terms of Use policy. Reviews are posted on lusalighting.com at our discretion. When a product review is submitted on this web site, you grant LUSA and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media.

When you leave a store review on our site, the review may be posted on lusalighting.com or shared on social media sites at our discretion. You grant LUSA and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media.

This policy covers information collected on visitors to the lusalighting.com site through the process of ordering products, joining our email lists, submitting product reviews and using our online services, as well as information collected through LUSA retail stores.

Privacy and Email Referrals

The above rules apply to emails that you provide us in the course of using one of our "email to a friend" utilities or "refer a friend" promotions. We will send the requested information to the specified third party, who then has the option of not receiving further communications from us. When using these utilities, you agree to only submit email addresses for those with whom you have an established personal or family relationship.

Security

At LUSA, we understand your concerns about security and privacy. We protect the sensitive information you give us, such as credit card numbers, by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the information you share with us. This process makes it statistically much safer to shop with us than to use your card in a restaurant or store. This encryption applies to users viewing our site using up-to-date, modern browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome.

Fraudulent Charge Protection

LUSA offers a "Safe Shopping Guarantee." If a third party obtains your personal information from a purchase made with LUSA and uses that information to perpetrate credit card fraud, you are protected. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank may hold shoppers in the United States liable for up to $50 USD of fraudulent charges. If your bank holds you liable for any portion of the $50 USD, LUSA will cover up to the entire $50 USD. For Canadian customers, by law, if your credit card is issued by a federally regulated financial institution (FRFI), your card agreement will explain your maximum liability (no more than $50 CAD) if your credit card is lost, stolen or used for an unauthorized purchase.

LUSA will cover this liability if the unauthorized use resulted through no fault of yours from a purchase made on the LUSA secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card company in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.

Cookies

Like many other online retailers, LUSA uses a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a small bit of data that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive that we use to help us retrieve data you may have stored with us. For example, we use cookies to help us retrieve the lighting products that you have saved in these areas. The "Help" portion on the toolbar of most browsers will tell you how to delete your computer's cookies or how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of the LUSA website, and we recommend that you leave the feature turned on.

LUSA may occasionally use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous and is not relatable to you. These third parties are prohibited by our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our advertising service providers.  However, LUSA respects your privacy and your right to choose whether to be included in such services. If you would like more information or would like to learn about your ability to unsubscribe from this type of practice, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here. 

If you choose to unsubscribe, an "unsubscribe cookie" will be placed on your computer. If the cookie is removed or deleted, if you upgrade your browser or if you visit us from a different computer, you will need to return to the link above to re-select your preferences.

Notwithstanding any other provision, we partner with third parties that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you. Our partners may place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device, or directly in our emails/communications, and we may share personal information with them if you have submitted such information to us, such as your name, postal address, email address, or device ID. Our partners may link the nonpersonal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes.

Unsubscribing From Our Email List

If you've joined our email list, you may unsubscribe of it at any time by following the instructions included with each LUSA email. Or, you may email us at contact@lusalighting.com.

If you choose to unsubscribe from one of our email Lists, CAN-SPAM and CASL legislation stipulates that your address be removed within 10 business days. Please allow 5 days for us to remove your email address from any future mailings. Please note that should you order from us in the future, you will receive order and shipping confirmations via email.

If you choose to remove your email address from our mailing list, LUSA, in compliance with the CAN-SPAM and CASL legislation, may occasionally supply a list of removed email addresses to our advertising partners. This is done to ensure that those email addresses do not receive new advertising offers from us through our advertising partners.

Unsubscribing From Our Catalog Mailing List

If you purchase something from us using a US mailing address, we may occasionally send you a printed catalog through the mail. If you prefer not to receive our catalog, cancel at any time by emailing us at contact@lusalighting.com with "Remove" as the subject line and your name and address in the body of the message. Your name will be removed from our mailing list within two weeks of your request. Due to the nature of catalog mailing preparation, however, you may receive mailed marketing items up to 90 days after your request.

Opt Out From Marketing Partnerships
