We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. However, some data sharing with third-party advertising and analytics partners (potentially including those integrated via Wix) might be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under certain privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Please see "Your Choices and Rights" for information on how to opt-out.

**4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies**

* **On our Site (lbcmotorsports.com):** As mentioned, our Site is hosted on Wix.com, which uses cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, analytics, and to enable features of third-party apps. You will typically be presented with a cookie banner on our Site where you can manage your consent for non-essential cookies. Please refer to Wix's Privacy Policy and their information about cookies for comprehensive details.
* **On our App:** Our App may use its own cookies, SDKs, or similar technologies for analytics, functionality, and potentially advertising. We will seek your consent for non-essential tracking where required by law.

You can generally control cookies through your browser settings. However, if you block cookies, some features of our Site (or the Wix platform itself) or App may not function properly.

**5. Data Security**

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. Our Site, being hosted on Wix.com, benefits from Wix's security measures, which include secure servers, firewalls, and PCI DSS compliance for payment processing. Wix stores your data on secure servers, which may be located in various countries. You can learn more about Wix's security practices in their Privacy Policy.

For data collected and managed directly by us through our App or offline, we take appropriate security measures. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. While we and Wix strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

**6. Data Retention**

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

* **Data stored on Wix:** Data you provide through our Wix-hosted Site (e.g., order information, contact details) is stored by Wix on their platform. Wix's retention policies may also apply. We will manage this data through the Wix platform.
* **Data for App and other purposes:** For other data, we consider the length of our relationship, legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in determining retention periods.

Look for a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link if available on our Site footer (Wix provides tools to enable this).

**For data processed directly by Wix as a platform, please refer to Wix's Privacy Policy for information on exercising your rights with them.**

* **Marketing Communications:** You can opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in those emails or by contacting us.

* **Location Information (App):** You can disable the collection of precise location information through your device settings.

**8. Children's Privacy**

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe that we may have collected information from a child, please contact us.

For users in California, if we have actual knowledge that we collect or maintain personal information of a consumer under 16 years of age, we will not sell or share that information without affirmative authorization (opt-in) from the consumer if they are between 13 and 16, or from their parent or guardian if they are under 13.

**9. International Data Transfers**

Your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own.

* **Data Processed by Wix:** As our Site is hosted by Wix.com, your data may be stored in Wix's data centers located in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, and other jurisdictions as necessary for their service delivery. Wix is responsible for ensuring appropriate safeguards for these transfers under their Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you visit or use.

**11. Changes to This Privacy Policy**

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors, including changes to how Wix operates. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our Site and App, and by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.
