Collection Practices
Like most other web sites, Lyon-Lincoln Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Lyon-Lincoln" or "We") maintains web logs that automatically record basic, non-personal information about visitors. This information consists of: IP address, type of browser and operating system, date and time of access, pages visited, and referring/exit pages. Lyon-Lincoln normally only uses web log information in aggregate form to enable us to make the web site more useful. We like to know which features are popular and how visitors locate the site. Web logs may be used to identify visitors who seek to damage the web site, use the web site in unauthorized ways, or interfere with operations. Information about users who try to engage in any unapproved activities may be shared with law enforcement agencies. We do not collect any personal information about a routine visitor unless that visitor provides it to us.

Routine e-mail sent to us through this web site or otherwise is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication contains personal information that you consider sensitive, you may not want to use e-mail.
