When you use the LBT Services by, among other actions, ordering a subscription or other product, providing registration details, setting newsletter preferences, browsing our sites, completing a survey, entering a contest, or otherwise interacting with our LBT Services, we gather personal information.

Personal information is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual. Several different types of personal information can be gathered when you interact with the LBT Services, depending on the type of product or service being used. Collection of personal information is necessary for us to be able to deliver to you LBT Services or to enhance your experience as a reader.

If you disclose any personal identifiable information (PII) you guarantee to LBT in connection with your use of LBT Services, you represent that it is your own and correct PII.

We and our service providers collect personal information in a variety of ways, including:

For example, registration on LBT.com can be done by supplying a unique email address and password, or by linking your Facebook or Google accounts.

We will engage in these activities to manage our contractual relationship with you or comply with a legal obligation.

We would use this information to manage our contractual relationship with you.

G) Aggregating and/or Anonymizing Personal Information. We aggregate and/or anonymize personal information so that it will no longer be considered personally identifying. We do so to generate other data for our use, which we may use and disclose for any purpose.

Such third parties may include, for example, an acquiring entity and its advisors.

E) By Using LBT Services, You May Elect to Disclose Personal Information.

4. Other Information Collected Using Technology

Other information that does not specifically identify you and is collected through technology includes tracking information collected by us as well as third parties.
We use various internet technologies to manage and track the use of LBT Services. We use and disclose this information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. Information that we collect using these technologies may be combined with personal information about you. If we combine information with personal information, we will treat the combined information as personal information.

A) Device Information. We collect information about the computer, mobile device, or other device you use to access LBT Services, such as Internet protocol (IP) addresses (the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the Internet), geolocation information, unique device identifiers, browser type, browser language and other transactional information.

B) Cookies, Beacons, Local Storage, and Other Similar Technologies. We use “cookies,” web beacons, tags and scripts, and other similar technologies, including local storage objects such as HTML5. These technologies allow us to manage access to and use LBT Services, recognize you and provide personalization, and help us understand how people use LBT Services. You may not be able to access certain areas of our websites, including LatinBusinessToday.com, if your computer does not accept cookies from us. Because there is no accepted standard on how to respond to “do not track” browser-based signals, we do not respond to such signals.
We transmit website usage information to third parties to show you advertising for LBT when you visit other sites.

C) Analytics, Log Files, and Reading History. As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and other usage information about the use of LBT Services, including a history of the pages you view.
We automatically combine this collected log-information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer you, including customized recommendations, advertising, and currency display, to improve marketing, and to track access and use of LBT Services across the devices that you use to access LBT Services.

One of the analytics service providers we use is Google Analytics. For opt-out options specific to Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

D) Location Information. Some of our mobile applications can deliver information on your current location if you choose to enable that feature of the app, for example, by use of satellite, cell phone tower, or Wi-Fi signals. If you enable the location-based feature, your current location will be stored locally on your device, which will then be used by the app. If you elect to have a location-based search saved to your history, we will store that information on our servers. If you do not enable the location-based service, or if an app does not have that feature, the app will not transmit to us, and we will not collect, or store, location information. The ads in our apps are not targeted to you based on your current GPS location, but they are targeted to you based on your ZIP code or device’s IP address.

5. Third-Party Advertising

Some of the services and advertisements included in LBT Services, including on LBT.com and within our mobile apps, are delivered or served by third-party companies, which may collect information about your use of LBT Services.
These companies place or recognize cookies, pixel tags, web beacons or other technology to track certain information about our LBT Services website users. For example, while serving certain advertisements, an advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to collect certain information about your use of LBT Services. For another example, an advertiser or ad server may also be able to collect your device’s unique identifier while serving an ad. In many cases, this information could be used to show you ads on other websites based on your interests.

We do not have access to, nor control over, these third parties’ use of cookies or other tracking technologies or how they may be used.

For example, we use Google to serve advertisements on LBT Services, which use the Google Double-click cookie, and in some cases, a unique device identifier, to show you ads based on your visit to LBT.com and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of the Google Double-click cookie by visiting the Google’s Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy.

Your access to our websites should not be affected if you do not accept cookies served by third parties

6. Links to Third-Party Sites

LBT.Com and LBT Services may contain links to other websites that are not operated by LBT. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
LBT has no control over and assumes no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

7. How Do I Opt-Out from Receiving Emails?

8. Children’s Guidelines

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 18 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
If we need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your information and your country requires consent from a parent, we may require your parent’s consent before we collect and use that information.
Sale of Personal Information of Minors under 18 years old. We do NOT knowingly collect personal information from minors under 18 years old through our Service, although certain third-party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and instruct their children never to provide information on other websites without their permission.

We will comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than 45 days from the receipt of any such request, or such other period as may be prescribed by applicable state law.

To remove content or information that you have posted to the LBT Services, please refer to Section 10, below.

If you would like to request to review, correct, restrict, or delete personal information that you have previously provided to us, object to the processing of personal information, or if you would like to request to receive an electronic copy of your personal information for purposes of transmitting it to another company (to the extent this right to data portability is provided to you by applicable law), you may contact us at

Latin Business Today, ATTN: Privacy, 420 S Riverside Ave #109, Croton-On-Hudson, NY 10520 to obtain the relevant Form.

In your request, please state what personal information you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have your personal information suppressed from our database or, otherwise, let us know what limitations you would like to put on our use of your personal information. For your protection, we only implement requests with respect to the personal information associated with the particular email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.

We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law, but not later than 45 days therefrom, or such other period as may be prescribed by applicable state law.

Please note that your request does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information, as, for example, some of your content may have been reposted by another user.

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection authority for your country or region or where an alleged infringement of applicable data protection law occurs. A list of EU data protection authorities is available at http://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/article29/item-detail.cfm?item_id=612080.

11. Sensitive Personal Information

Unless specifically requested (for example, in connection with a particular survey), we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background or trade union membership) via LBT.com. Any requested information that includes sensitive information about health, political opinions, ethnicity, race, religion, sex life or sexual orientation can be left unanswered.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
– The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide LBT Services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or continue to use LBT Services);
– Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); or
– Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (for example, in light of applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).

13. Is My Information Protected?

We seek to protect personal information with reasonable organizational, technological, and physical safeguards commensurate to the sensitivity of the personal information. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

To further protect your data, we recommend that you use complex passwords for your accounts with us and for accounts with third parties that you link to any of your accounts with us. Please do not use the same passwords you use for LBT Services for other services or share your password with unauthorized people. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us at privacy@LatinBusinessToday.com.

14. International Transfers of Personal Information

LBT is headquartered in the United States. The information you provide to us, or that we obtain because of your use of LBT Services, is collected in your country and subsequently transferred to the United States or to another country in which we have facilities, or our affiliates operate, or in which we engage service providers. With respect to such transfers of information concerning residents of counties in the European Economic Area (EEA”), including all European Union (“EU”) countries, the European Commission’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) shall govern. It should be noted that countries like Switzerland and the United Kingdom, who are not members of the EEA, have, nevertheless, adopted standards of privacy protection comparable to those of the GDPR. For any transfer of personal data protectable under the GDPR, to a country not governed by the GDPR (“Non-GDPR Country”), LBT shall ensure that the recipient of such personal information, residing in such non-GDPR Country, shall be bound by GDPR standards via the application of prescribed contractual clauses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities may be entitled to have access to your personal information under applicable national law.

15. Individual Rights.

If you are a resident of European Union, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland, you may make a request or otherwise exercise your rights under Chapter 3 of the GDPR, by contacting us via Privacy@LatinBusinessToday.com. To respond to your request, we will need to verify your identity and residence and may require you to provide us with supporting information concerning any query or request you may have.

16. Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act (SHIELD ACT) of NY

LBT qualifies as a small business under the SHIELD Act. LBT, as a business in NY, has implemented the required administrative, technical, and physical reasonable safeguards required of a small business under the SHIELD Act to protect private information of NY residents.

17. Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)

LBT does not meet the legal threshold requirements of the VCDPA as it does not target consumers in Virginia, processes personal data of less than 100,000 Virginia residents per calendar year and derives no revenue and/or discounts from the sale of personal data.

18. Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)

LBT does not meet the legal threshold requirements of the CPA as it does not target consumers in Colorado, processes personal data of less than 100,000 Colorado13 residents per calendar year and derives no revenue and/or discounts from the sale of personal data.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy
