Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc. Privacy Policy

We at Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc (LD) recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected about our customers and prospective customers (collectively referred to as "Customers," "you" or "your"). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. At Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc., it is our intention to give you an understanding about how we collect your Information and the use we make of it in the course of our business.

Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc/LifestylesQuest gathers two types of information about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on our sites; and data LD gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit our Customers' needs better and to help us understand our audience. However, be assured that Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc/LifestylesQuest will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.

How does LD collect Information

A. Optional Registration
Information is collected by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you register at our site or request information or a service. Usually, the Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc. sites and Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc. service partners use your information to operate the sites and to deliver services.

B. Usage trackingUse of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses
What is an IP address? An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers, known as "Servers or Web Servers."

Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc/LifestylesQuest and/or its affiliates may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When customers request pages from Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc/LifestylesQuest and/or its affiliates' sites, our servers log the customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session will be logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.

Use of Cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web site sends to your computer for record-keeping purposes, which information is stored in a file on your computer. Cookies make Web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of our Web site when you return to the site. Cookies do not tell us your individual identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you'll find that most major Web sites use them.

By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is much easier to track with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our Customers' needs.
Most cookies will expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some areas of our site and/or our affiliates' services may not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences, and/or may have difficulty completing marketing transactions.

Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc/LifestylesQuest and/or its affiliates have two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to specify a Customer's preferences. For example, Customers can specify keywords across several categories or markets so you don't have to tell us repeatedly what you want or need. Second, we use cookies to track Customers' Web site usage trends and patterns. This helps us understand our Customers' needs better and improve areas of Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc/LifestylesQuest and/or its affiliates' services that our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling the cookies via your browser preferences.

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. Lifestyles Unlimited, Inc/LifestylesQuest and/or its affiliates do not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
