We and our third-party partners may collect information using cookies, which are small files of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. They contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. We and our third-party partners may also use pixel tags and web beacons on the Services. These are tiny graphic images placed on web pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. We use cookies, beacons, invisible tags, and similar technologies (collectively “Cookies”) to collect information about your browsing activities and to distinguish you from other users of the Services. This aids your experience when you use the Services and allows us to improve the functionality of the Services. Cookies can be used for performance management (i.e., collecting information on how the Services are being used for analytics purposes). They can also be used for functionality management, enabling us to make your visit more efficient by, for example, remembering language preferences, passwords, and log-in details. Below is an overview of the types of Cookies we and third parties may use to collect information.
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. Some Cookies are strictly necessary to make the Services available to you. We cannot provide you with the Services without this type of Cookies.
- Functional Cookies. Functional Cookies are used to recognize you when you return to the Services. This enables us to adapt our content for you and remember your preferences. For example, we use functional Cookies to remember your choice of language or region.
- Analytical and Performance Cookies. We also use Cookies for website analytics purposes to operate, maintain and improve the Services. We may use our own analytics Cookies or use third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Services.

Third Parties
Our Services may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any information you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.
Retention
When you request that we do so, we take measures to delete your information or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying you when this information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we process it, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period. When we process information for our own purposes, we determine the retention period taking into account various criteria, such as the type of services provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with the Services, the impact on the Services we provide to you if we delete some information from or about you, and mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.
Security
We make reasonable efforts to protect your information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the information we maintain. However, because no electronic transmission or storage of information can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use information from children under 18 years of age, and no part of our Service(s) is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at support@lagrangefoundation.org.
International Visitors
Depending on your location, we may transfer information to other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from your country. We may transfer information from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland to third countries based on European Commission-approved or UK Government-approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or otherwise in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may also transfer your information to other countries or regions in connection with storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services. By providing any information on or to the Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.
