Privacy Policy
SUPERB QUALITY SINCE 1994
INTRODUCTION
This website (“website”) is operated by LIDTKE Technologies (“LIDTKE Technologies” or “we” or “us”). This privacy policy only covers information collected at this website, and does not cover any information collected offline by LIDTKE Technologies (unless specifically stated).
EMAILS
You will receive promotional emails from us only if you have asked to receive them. If you do not want to receive email from LIDTKE Technologies or its affiliates you can click on the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any such email communication sent by us. Please allow us 3 business days from when the request was received to complete the removal, as some of our promotions may already have been in process before you submitted your request.
YOUR CHOICES REGARDING USE OF THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We provide you with a number of choices regarding our handling of your nonpublic personally identifiable information.
Direct Mail or Telephone Marketing: If you shop at LIDTKE Technologies and wish to be removed from the list of customers that receive direct mail or telemarketing calls, please either:
Write to LIDTKE Technologies at 472 North 56th Street, Chandler, AZ 85226
or call toll-free 1.800.404.8185
If you choose to write to us, please include your name, address, and credit card account number (if you have one), and state one of the following:
“NO MAIL OFFERS” (if you don’t want to receive offers by mail);
“NO PHONE OFFERS” (if you don’t want to receive offers by phone); or
“NO PHONE OR MAIL OFFERS” (if you don’t want to receive either).
Because customer lists often are prepared well in advance of an offering (sometimes a few months before the offer is made), you may continue to receive some offers after you send us a request not to use your information for specified marketing purposes. We appreciate your patience and understanding in giving us time to carry out your request.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
To complete your purchase transactions

To send you our catalogs and other offerings by mail
To identify your product and service preferences, so we can notify you of new or additional products, services, and promotions that might be of interest to you
To notify you of product recalls or provide other information concerning products you have purchased

Others With Whom We Share Your Information
LIDTKE Technologies: All of the above information that we collect, as described above, may be shared among all LIDTKE Technologies entities.
Service Providers: We also may disclose information to outside companies that help us bring you the products and services we offer.

You will be notified via email or prominent notice on our website prior to a change of ownership or control of your personal information, if your personal information will be used contrary to this policy. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with the ability of LIDTKE Technologies to transfer all or part of its business and/or assets to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any purpose, without any limitation whatsoever. LIDTKE Technologies specifically reserves the right to transfer or share a copy of personally identifiable information collected from its websites to the buyer of that portion of its business relating to that information.

Security
Personal information provided on the website and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server using Secure Socket Layering (SSL) encryption technology. When the letters “http” in the URL change to “https,” the “s” indicates you are in a secure area employing SSL; also, your browser may give you a pop-up message that you’re about to enter a secure area.
You may purchase online merchandise by calling toll-free 1.800.404.8185—Monday through Friday, 7am-5pm MST. One of our customer service associates will gladly take your order.
We are committed to handling your personal information with high standards of information security. We take appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative steps to maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorized access. Our website uses encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your personal information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address, and credit card number. Our Customer Care center and stores also operate over a private, secure network. Please note that email is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.
Privacy Policy
To help us achieve our goal of providing the highest quality products and services, we use information from our interactions with you and other customers, as well as from other parties. Because we respect your privacy, we have implemented procedures to ensure that your personal information is handled in a safe, secure, and responsible manner.
We have posted this privacy policy in order to explain our information collection practices and the choices you have about the way information is collected and used.
As we continue to develop our website and take advantage of advances in technology to improve the services we offer, this privacy policy likely will change. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on October 11, 2018.
The Information We Collect
Generally, you may browse the website without providing any personally identifiable information. However, we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information at various times and places on this website. In some cases, if you choose not to provide us with the requested information, you may not be able to access all of this website or participate in all of its features.
We receive and store any personally identifiable information you enter on the website, whenever you shop with LIDTKE Technologies—online, through our catalogs, or in our stores, or information you give us in any other way, such as by subscribing to our catalogs, email, or mobile messaging. For example, we may collect the following personally identifiable information: your name, address, telephone number, mobile telephone number, driver’s license number, birth date, and email address. If you use a credit or debit card or pay by check, we will also include your account number.
When you register with us as an online customer, we may ask for additional information, such as your favorite designers.
If you use one of our services, or participate in one of our surveys, promotions, or sweepstakes, we may ask for additional information, such as your age, interests, or product preferences.
From your purchases and other interactions with us, we obtain information concerning the specific products or services you purchase or use.
When you visit this website, our web server automatically collects anonymous information such as log data and IP addresses, and may collect general information concerning your location. We may use the automatically collected information for a number of purposes, such as improving our site design, product assortments, customer service, and special promotions.
When you visit one of our stores, if your mobile device accesses one of our wireless networks we may also automatically collect information about your geo-location based, in part, upon which wireless network has been accessed. When this happens we attempt to de-identify the information, which means that we remove or change (e.g., hash) certain pieces of information that might be used to link the data to you, or to your device. We will not attempt to re-identify geo-location information (i.e., link it to you or your device) unless you affirmatively give us permission to collect geo-location information about you. If you give us such permission, you can later decide to opt-out of geo-location tracking by request through email with your MAC address (which can be found on most mobile devices under the “settings” menu).
Our mobile applications will not transmit geo-location information about you to us unless you give them permission to do so.
Cookies, Web Beacons, and How We Use Them
A “cookie” is a small data file stored by your Web browser on your computer or mobile device [hard drive]. It allows us to recognize your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database. A “web beacon” or “pixel tag” or “clear gif” is typically a one-pixel image, used to pass information from your computer or mobile device to a website.
We use cookies and web beacons to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart and to remember you when you return to the website as well as to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our site and the name of the website you visited immediately before clicking to Lidtke.com. We use this information to improve our site design, product assortments, customer service, and special promotions. You can, of course, disable cookies and web beacons on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. We may also use web beacons, and other technologies, to help track whether our communications are reaching you, to measure their effectiveness, or to collect certain non-personal information about your computer, device, or browser in order to allow us to better design future communications to you.
We may contract with third parties who may use cookies and web beacons and collect information on our behalf or provide services such as credit card processing, shipping, promotional services, or data management. We call them our Customer Care Partners. These third parties are prohibited by our contract with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our other Customer Care Partners.
Links to Other Sites
While visiting Lidtke.com, you may link to websites operated by our business partners or other third parties. This does not mean that we endorse these websites. We do not make any representations or warranties about any website you may access through this website. They are independent from us, and we have no control over, or responsibility for, their information or activities.
In addition, our privacy practices may differ from those of these other sites. If you provide personal information at one of those sites, you are subject to the privacy policy of the operator of that site, not the LIDTKE Technologies Privacy Policy. Make sure you understand any website’s privacy policies before providing personal information.
Online Account Registration
To make online shopping faster and easier, you may register with Lidtke.com. As a registered customer, you only have to enter your shipping addresses and billing information once; they will be securely stored with us for your future use. Using your name and a password of your choice, you may access your account online at any time to add, delete, or change information. LIDTKE Technologies reserves the right to deactivate this feature at any time. In the case of this feature being deactivated, you will have to enter your information again, unless it is stored in your browser’s memory.
If you are using a public computer, we strongly encourage you to LOG OUT at the conclusion of your session. Your information will still be stored with us but it will not be accessible to anyone else from that computer.
Children’s Privacy Policy
Protecting children’s privacy is important to us. Our website is a general audience site. We do not collect or maintain information from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of our website is targeted to attract anyone under 18. We also do not send email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age of 18 without their parent’s consent.
Children under the age of 18 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any personal information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the web. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C. §6501 et seq.)
Mobile Messaging
If you’ve signed up for mobile messaging (e.g., SMS and MMS) offers, but later decide you no longer wish to receive them, simply follow the opt-out instructions included in the mobile message.
