When you submit a Service Application or place an Order Online we collect your personal and organizational information such as: name, address, email address, organization name, credit card number, etc. We collect this information so that we can process set-up fees and monthly fees.

Light Speed Networks and  TheBestSites4U.com uses "session cookies" while a visitor is  using Light Speed and  TheBestSites4U.com. "Cookies" are bits of information that are stored by your browser on your hard drive. We use "session cookies" so that we can properly verify a customer's identity as they move from one page to the next. For our online catalog customers, we also use "session cookies" and "persistent cookies" in addition to verifying personal information, so that we can provide secure access to customer information. These session cookies are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Like most web site administrators we use log files that record information such as Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and page navigation. We gather this information to track web site visitor movement in the aggregate, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Our goal in gathering this information is to learn how our customers and the public are using our service. IP addresses that are recorded by our log files are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Light Speed Networks and  TheBestSites4U.com takes every precaution to protect information. When you submit sensitive information via our web site, the information is protected both online and off-line. When a form asks to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or address), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as a form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect customer information off-line. All of our customer information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (our customer service team) are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
