Lestnet Privacy Policy


May 14, 2024
Introduction

This privacy policy outlines important legal dimensions of your interactions with the Lestnet.org website and, where applicable, the Smart Transactions protocol and software stack.

Information Collection

Our website does not collect any personal identifying information about you, the visitor. However, the website is based on Webflow and/or other third party templates and plugins that may use further third party dependencies and/or cookies. We seek to minimize cookie and related data tracking, and do not use or store personal identifying data collected through the website. Our backend web-hosting providers may collect metadata including visit statistics, pageviews, IP addresses, and similar web browsing data.

Use of Collected Information

Our website includes job postings, links to our documentation and github repositories, and related information. If you voluntarily submit information to us via email addresses obtained on our website or via future “contact us” / “subscribe” interfaces, we may use that data to provide responses to you, to improve our service, to potentially notify you about changes to our service, to allow participation in future interactive features, etc. We currently do not solicit personal identifying information.

No Contract

Visiting our website is a voluntary exercise, and does not create contractual obligations between you and Lestnet.org, Smart Transactions Corp, and/or any employees, agents, affiliates, contractors, subsidiaries or other persons potentially associated with Lestnet.

Our Legal Basis for Data Processing

In instances where you voluntarily supply data to us via our website, our data governance practices become bound by multiple overlapping global data governance regimes, such as the EU’s GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act, California Privacy Rights Act, and many other complementary and/or conflicting statutory, regulatory, and/or common law obligations. We will affirmatively seek to obtain your express prior consent as necessary for the formation and/or performance of contractual obligations, compliance with other legal obligations, and related acts.

Data Retention

Lestnet.org currently neither collects nor stores data regarding your visit.

Your Data Rights

As mentioned above, you have multiple substantive rights concerning your data. Depending on your particular jurisdictional nexus or nexuses, you may have rights under the EU’s GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act, California Privacy Rights Act, and many other sources of law. This bundle of rights may include rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection, and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making. It may include the right to be apprised of our data retention policies, such as how long we retain data and the criteria used to determine this duration. Because we do not know where you are visiting from, we do not know the exact bundle of legal rights pertaining to your data, but we encourage you to educate yourself on these rights.

Data Transfer

If you are visiting us from the EU/EEA, you may have the right to restrict the transfer of your data outside the EU/EEA. Our key safeguard for preventing unauthorized distribution of your data is to not collect personal identifying information about you as you visit our website. Updates to these safeguards, if any, shall be promptly published on www.lestnet.org/legal and/or www.lestnet.org/privacy.

Data Disclosure to Third Parties

There are circumstances under which Lestnet might be compelled to disclose website data, such as duly authorized legal subpoenas, merger or acquisition, and other legal requirements. If required to disclose data to third-party service providers, we will limit access to personal identifying information, if any, and contractually assure their compliance with this privacy policy and/or relevant privacy laws.

Data Security

We use industry best practices to secure website-related data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

Children’s Privacy

We neither know how old you are nor the age of legal majority in your respective jurisdiction(s). We do not market our website to minors (eg, natural persons under the age of 16).

Changes to this Privacy Policy / Contract

Updates to this policy will be published on www.lestnet.org/privacy. For privacy-specific concerns or inquiries, please write to legal@lestnet.org.
