This information is NOT shared with anyone beyond the support staff to this web site except when required by Law Enforcement investigation. Information collected and stored which may be held indefinitely include the following:

Security, Intrusion, and Detection

For site security purposes, and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, all network traffic is monitored in order to identify unauthorized attempt to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage or conduct criminal activity. Unauthorized attempts to defeat or circumvent security features, to use the system for other than intended purposes, to deny service to authorized users, to access, obtain, alter, damage, or destroy information, or otherwise to interfere with the system or its operation are prohibited. Evidence of such acts may be disclosed to law enforcement authorities and result in criminal prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 (Pub.

Lumen21 may share personal data to service providers and other contractors, who may process such data on our behalf and subject to confidentiality restrictions. We also may disclose personal data with other third parties for the purposes for which we receive the data (e.g., performance of contractual obligations) and as required or permitted by law.

Finally, as a last resort and in limited situations, EU individuals may seek redress from the Privacy Shield Panel, a binding arbitration mechanism.
