Lifelounge Group Privacy Policy
Lifelounge Pty Ltd (Lifelounge) is committed to protecting the privacy of our
end users of Lifelounge’ content. Lifelounge endeavors to provide a safe and
secure environment for end users. The purpose of this privacy policy is to
inform you, as a Lifelounge user, what kinds of information we may gather
about you when you visit www.Lifeloungegroup.com, how we may use that information,
whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of,
and your ability to correct, the information. This privacy policy applies to
any other Internet-accessible Lifelounge-branded services that incorporate this
policy. Please note that this policy applies only to www.Lifeloungegroup.com, and not
to other companies' or organizations' Web sites to which we link.
Information About All Lifelounge users and visitors.
In general, our site automatically gathers certain usage information
like the numbers and frequency of visitors to Lifelounge.com. We only
use such data in the aggregate. This aggregate data helps us determine
how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our
site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of
you as possible. For example, Lifelounge uses "cookies" that tells us
how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people.
These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we
do not combine information collected through these cookies with other
personally identifiable information to tell us who you are. We also may
provide statistical information, never information about you
personally, to our Lifelounge partners about how our members,
collectively, use our internet sites. We do this so they too can
understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for
them to provide you with the best possible Web experience as well.
Finally, Lifelounge.com, its advertisers and ad servers may also use
cookies, as well as "web beacons" or "clear gifs," to determine on an
anonymous basis which advertisements and promotions users have seen and
how users responded to them, but do not use these technologies to
collect personally identifiable information unless you give us
permission to do so.

provide that service or content to you. We may also use that
information to let you know of additional products and services about
which you might be interested. You can choose not to receive such
information if you don't want to by letting us know on the registration
screen when you sign up for the product or service. We also may use
cookie technology in order to improve your experience, including to
remember your preferences or customized settings when you use
Lifeloungegroup.com, and its related services, and to authenticate your
access to your personal information.
Disclosure

information in response to legal process, such as a court order or
subpoena, or in special cases such as a physical threat to you or
others. And, as we mention above, we may share with our Web site
partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information about the use of
