 Our trusted partners each have their own privacy policies and terms and conditions. Lee's Guitar Works has no control over these, and they may change over time.

 Our partners are listed below:

Google Analytics - We never share your personal information with Google, but your information may be used to profile you against your existing Google account. This in turn allows us to serve you with relevant advertising on Google’s sites based on your browsing history. You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.­­js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

Any contractors who can access your data are trusted partners who have agreed to keep it secure. This commitment is recorded in the privacy policies of each of these contractors. If we feel that a trusted partner’s commitment to privacy is insufficient to secure your data, we will terminate our contract with them.
