Lombard Odier collects information that does not qualify as Personal Data of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the operating system, the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each request to the Site.

Lombard Odier’s purpose in collecting such information is to better understand how a person uses the Site.

Such information may be collected with the help of analytics tools. Such technologies can tell Lombard Odier things like how a person arrived on the Site, if this person visited the Site before, how long this person stays on the Site, and which pages this person visits.

Certain ways to interact with the Site require Lombard Odier to gather Personal Data. The amount and type of information, that Lombard Odier gathers, depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, Lombard Odier asks for registration of certain online products and/or services to provide with a username, an email address, your name, your company name, and your address. In each case, Lombard Odier collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the person's interaction with the Site, e.g. to provide the online products and/or services. A person may refuse to supply Personal Data, with the caveat that it may prevent such person from engaging in certain Site-related activities.
