We may use and allow others to use cookies, web beacons, pixels, local shared objects, device identifiers, and other similar technologies ("Cookies”) to collect information about you. We use this information to improve your experiences when you interact with us. You have control over some of the data we collect from Cookies and how we use it. You may learn more about Cookies and how to manage them at https://www.allaboutcookies.org/

Also, if you elect to receive Cookies and later delete them, use a different browser, update your systems, or use a different device, you may need to renew your choices.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
We provide reasonable and appropriate security measures in connection with securing your personal information.
Keeping your personal information safe is important to us. We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. At LIFELENZ, we:
• Work to review and update our security practices and implement accepted methods to protect your personal information.
• Store personal information on our secure servers behind firewalls and securely transmit such.
• Transmit, store, protect, and access all cardholder information in compliance with the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standards (PCIDSS). Payment transactions are encrypted using SSL or other encryption technology, or will use our third party payment processors, who will use appropriate security procedures.
• Comply with applicable laws and security standards.
• Train applicable employees and contractors on data privacy and require them to safeguard your data.
Your communications containing personal information may be unlawfully intercepted or accessed by third parties and our Site may be subject to network attacks or malfunctions. We cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information transmitted over the Internet. Once we receive your personal information, we take steps that we believe are reasonable to limit access to your personal information to only those employees and service providers whom we determine need access to the personal information to provide the requested Services, offers or opportunities that may be of interest to you or that you have ordered, or that we may otherwise disclose. However, even after we receive your personal information, we cannot and do not guarantee that your personal information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of a breach of our security efforts or as a result of any other event beyond our reasonable control. Accordingly, we cannot and do not guarantee that your personal information or any other information is completely secure and safe from any risk.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain of our Services (such as our Sites or your customer account), you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas, like message boards or social media.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its security during transmission to us. Any transmission of your information to us is at your own risk. LIFELENZ is not responsible for circumvention by a third party of any privacy settings or security measures.
