Effective Date: April 2024

The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection  company of Lodestone Technology, Inc. (“Company,” “we” or “us”). Specifically, it outlines the  types of information that we gather about you while you are using our  Group (the “Group”) and the ways in which we use this information. This  Privacy Policy applies primarily to information that we collect online.

We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to  privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how our Company  collects information from all end users of our Internet services (the  “Services”), including those who access some of our Services but do not  have accounts (“Visitors”) and those who may purchase Products and/or  pay a service fee to subscribe to the Service (“Members”).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Group,  you agree that your use of our Group, and any dispute over privacy, is  governed by this Privacy Policy. In an effort to comply with changes in  technology and the adoption of new regulations and laws, we may need to  change our Policy at some point in the future, in which case we'll post the  changes to this Privacy Policy on this Group platform and update the  Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing  to use the Group after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.

Our Privacy Policy Will Change Over Time 
Because we continue to develop the Group and take advantage of  technologies to improve the services we provide, our policies will change  over time. We may use personal information for new, unanticipated uses not  previously disclosed in this privacy policy. We encourage you to refer to this  Privacy Policy from time to time to stay abreast of our most current privacy  policy company. While we will attempt to notify registered users of any  material changes in the Privacy Policy by posting a notice on our Group  platform or sending an email to the user’s registered email address, it is your  responsibility to check for updates to the Privacy Policy and any such update  shall be effective even if you do not receive notice of such update. If you do  not consent to the updated Privacy Policy, you can discontinue use of the 
Group. Your continued access and use of the Group will constitute your  acceptance of any changes or revisions to our Privacy Policy.

Introduction 
We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily  supply to us online while using the Group (e.g., while on the Group or in  responding via email to a feature provided on the Group). The Group only  contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event  that they have signed up to receive our messaging, or have purchased one  of our products or services. The Group collects personally identifying  information from our users during online registration and online purchasing.  Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for  registration or opt-in purposes and name, email address, and credit card  information when purchasing our products or services. All of this  information is provided to us by you.

We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as  you navigate online through the Group. For example, we may collect  information about your computer's connection to the Internet, which allows  us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you  and to measure traffic on the Group. We also may use a standard feature  found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience  with the Group, and web beacons, to access cookies, count users who visit  the Group, the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent on our  Group, websites visited before and after our Group, IP addresses, or open  HTML-formatted email messages.

We use the information we collect from you while you are using the Group in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize features;  advertising that appears on the Group; and, making other offers available  to you via email, direct mail, or otherwise.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal  information available for viewing by third parties online – for example on  message boards, web logs, through email, or in chat areas – that  information can be seen, collected, and used by others besides us. We  cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such  information.

Some of our third-party advertisers and ad servers that place and present  advertising on the Group also may collect information from you via cookies,  web beacons, or similar technologies. These third-party advertisers and ad  servers may use the information they collect to help present their  advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements'  effectiveness, or for other purposes. The use and collection of your  information by these third-party advertisers and ad servers is governed by  the relevant third-party's privacy policy and is not covered by our Privacy  Policy. Indeed, the privacy policies of these third-party advertisers and ad  servers may be different from ours. If you have any concerns about a third  party's use of cookies or web beacons or the use of your information, you  should visit that party's website and review its privacy policy.

The Group also includes links to other websites and provides access to  products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do  not control. When you access another website or purchase third-party  products or services through the Group, use of any information you provide  is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the Group you are  visiting or the provider of such products or services. 
Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various  assets. In the unlikely event that we sell some or all of our assets, or one or  more of our websites or platforms is acquired by another company,  information about our users may be among the transferred assets.

Why We Store Information We Collect From You
