How our partners gather information from users.

How our partners may collect and store information depending on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. You can visit many pages on their site without providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to provide information, such as when you register for access to portions of their site, sign up for membership, request certain features (e.g., newsletters, news updates and other products), sign up for a newspaper subscription or make a purchase. You may also provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, voting and polling activities, message boards and chat rooms and other interactive areas of their site.

Most Web sites, also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to their visitors. For example, they may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use "cookie" technology. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As they adopt additional technology, they may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide them with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may limit your ability to access certain portions of the site or may require you to re-enter your user name and password. Additionally they may not be able to customize the site's features according to your preferences.

What they do with the information they collect.

They must use your information only as permitted by law. Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways.

Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with other advertisers and business partners, but cannot be used to contact you individually.

They also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising.

If and when Personally Identifiable Information collected by Lowescompany.com will only be used for purposes including but not limited to site administration and troubleshooting.

We may disclose information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, and/or whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary to give such information to law enforcement authorities.
