Privacy Policy
Introduction
Live Ventures Incorporated ("Live Ventures," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit: https://www.liveventures.com https://ir.liveventures.com and related services (the “Site”).
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information such as name, email, phone number, mailing address, and investor inquiry information. We also collect technical data like IP address, browser type, and cookies.
How We Use Information
We use information to operate the site, respond to inquiries, provide investor communications, improve services, and comply with legal obligations.
How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers, affiliates, legal authorities, and during corporate transactions. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit the Site. We use cookies, and similar technologies such as tags and pixels, to keep the Site working and to understand how it is used.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary. Required for the Site to function and always active. They cannot be turned off through our preference center. These include sessionid (session management), csrftoken (protection against cross-site request forgery), _GRECAPTCHA (Google reCAPTCHA spam and bot prevention on forms), and cookie_consent / consent_id, which record the choices you make below.
Analytics. Optional and off until you accept them. We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_S4MQJLMCG2, _gid and _gat_UA-97870741-1) to measure traffic and improve the Site. Analytics scripts are not loaded at all until you consent.
Functional. Optional and off until you accept them. These are cookies set by embedded content you choose to load, currently the YouTube video players in the “Our Companies” section of our home page. With this category off, the players are never loaded and YouTube never receives a request from your browser.
Managing Your Choices
When you first visit the Site, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject the optional ones, or open the preference center and choose by category. You can change your decision at any time using the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer of every page. You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, though parts of the Site may stop working correctly if strictly necessary cookies are blocked.
Your consent record is stored for up to one year, after which we ask again.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
We honor the Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC) and Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent by your browser. When we detect either signal, optional cookies are treated as rejected: no analytics or advertising technologies are loaded, embedded video players stay blocked, and no banner is shown.
Google reCAPTCHA
Our home page loads Google reCAPTCHA to protect the contact form from spam and automated abuse. It is loaded only there, on the page that carries the form, and not on the rest of the Site. Because the script is served from google.com, your browser exchanges cookies with Google while you are on that page: some are set by Google in response to that request (NID, SEARCH_SAMESITE, __Secure-BUCKET, UULE), and, if you are signed in to a Google account in the same browser, your existing Google session cookies (SID, HSID, SSID, APISID, SAPISID, SIDCC, S and their __Secure-1P / __Secure-3P variants) are sent along too.
These cookies belong to Google, not to us: we cannot read, set, or delete them, and we do not receive their contents. They are governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. You can control them through your Google account settings or by blocking third-party cookies in your browser. We list them in Your Privacy Choices so you can see exactly what appears while browsing the Site.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services appear on the Site, including Google (Analytics, Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA) and embedded content such as videos. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Embedded Video (YouTube)
The “Our Companies” section of our home page offers videos hosted on YouTube, a Google service. These players belong to the Functional category and are blocked until you accept it: if the category is off, or if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, clicking a video shows a notice instead of the player and no request is made to YouTube.
Once you accept Functional cookies and play a video, YouTube and Google may set cookies and similar identifiers on your device (for example VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, VISITOR_PRIVACY_METADATA, YSC, __Secure-YEC, and CONSENT) to remember playback preferences, measure views, and prevent abuse. This data is collected by Google under its own Privacy Policy, not by us, and we do not receive it. You can withdraw consent at any time by turning the Functional category off in Your Privacy Choices.
Do We Sell or Share Personal Information
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Rejecting optional cookies, or sending a Global Privacy Control signal, is treated as an opt-out request under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
Data Security
We use reasonable safeguards but cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
U.S. State Privacy Rights
You may have rights to access, delete, or correct your personal information. Contact support@liveventures.com to exercise rights.
SMS Communications
If you opt in to SMS, your information is handled under this policy. See SMS Terms of Service on our website.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time.
