Introduction
We at

worldwide ("LightWay USA") are committed to
respecting your online privacy and recognize
your need for appropriate protection and
management of any personally identifiable
information ("Personal Information") you
share with us.
LightWay USA has established this Online
Privacy Policy so that you can understand
the care with which we intend to treat your
Personal Information.
Personal Information means any information
that may be used to identify an individual,
including, but not limited to, a first and
last name, a home or other physical address
and an email address or other contact
information, whether at work or at home. In
general, you can visit LightWay USA's Web
pages without telling us who you are or
revealing any Personal Information about
yourself.
If you
choose to provide us with your Personal
Information on the Web, we may transfer that
Information within LightWay USA or to
LightWay USA's third-party service
providers, across borders, and from your
country or jurisdiction to other countries
or jurisdictions around the world.
LightWay USA strives to comply with all
applicable laws around the globe that are
designed to protect your privacy. Although
legal requirements may vary from country to
country, LightWay USA intends to adhere to
the principles set forth in this Online
Privacy Policy even if, in connection with
the above, we transfer your Personal
Information from your country to countries
that may not require an "adequate" level of
protection for your Personal Information. In
other words, our goal is to provide
protection for your Personal Information no
matter where that Personal Information is
collected, transferred, or retained.
