Cookies Policy
The Life Network Website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize Life Network pages, or register with the Life Network Website or use its services, a cookie helps the Life Network Website recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses. When you return to the Life Network Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved so you can easily use the Life Network Website features you have used previously.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Life Network Website or other websites you visit.
Security
Life Network secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure through the use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, such as a third-party processor, it is protected through encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet that are beyond our control and (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.
The security of your information is important to us, and we will use reasonable security measures to prevent the loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration of your information under our control. However, given the inherent risks, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Children Under Thirteen
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We assume donations made through credit cards are made by adults or minors supervised by a parent or guardian. We respect the privacy of children and the rights of parents to protect their children and are committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Notice to California Residents
If you are a California resident, California law permits you to annually request a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed your personal information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes and the type of personal information disclosed to those parties. If you are a California resident and would like to request this information, please email your request to admin@elifenetwork.com.
