For the purposes of certain data protection and privacy laws Luminace acts as a controller in respect of your Personal Data.
This Policy may change from time to time and you should review it periodically. This Policy was last updated January 2020.2. DEFINITIONS

Please note that if you do not provide certain Personal Data to Luminace when requested (and where relevant, provide your consent) we may not be able to provide you with access to all areas of the Website and associated services.
(b) Identity Verification Information. To help us respond to requests for data access and/or deletion requests as required by applicable laws, as well as create and maintain a trusted environment, we may collect identity verification information from you, such as images of your government issued ID, passport, national ID card, or driving license, as permitted by applicable laws, or other authentication information.

DO NOT TRACK: Your browser and other mechanisms may permit you to send do-not-track signals or other similar signals via your browser settings to express your preferences regarding online tracking.

Third parties, such as our analytics providers, from time to time may collect Personal Data that relates to you on the Websites, over other websites. We cannot control third parties’ responses to do-not-track signals or other such mechanisms.
