This Privacy Policy covers Lifo's treatment of personal information that Lifo gathers when you are on the Lifo website and when you use Lifo services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that Lifo does not own or control, or to individuals that Lifo does not employ or manage.

Information Collected by Lifo

We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website, which is to enable users to discover and share information and connect with one another. This information allows us to provide you with a customized and efficient experience. We do not process this information in a way that is incompatible with this objective. We collect the following types of information from our Lifo users:

1. Information You Provide to Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.Registration: In order for you to use Lifo services you must complete a registration form. As part of this registration form, we require select personal information. User Profile: To allow you to express yourself beyond just the information collected during registration, we enable you to provide additional information. In addition, you may choose to include photos of yourself in your profile. As indicated below, in the section titled "Sharing Your Information", you can control how your information is displayed and used.
2. Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Lifo and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, Lifo cookie information, and the page you requested. Lifo uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website. Lifo may collect and, on any page, display the total counts that page has been viewed. This includes User Profile pages. Many companies offer programs that help you to visit websites anonymously. While Lifo will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these programs are available.

E-mail Communications

Lifo is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission, as detailed in the "Sharing Your Information" section below. Lifo may send out e-mails with Lifo-related news, products, offers, surveys or promotions. You may also receive notification e-mails from Lifo, which inform you of actions (e.g. friend requests) that have been performed on the site.

Sharing Your Information

Because Lifo enables people to discover and share information with one another, information about the people who use Lifo is an integral part of the Lifo experience.
Lifo Personnel: Lifo personnel and authorized consultants and/or contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of Lifo business.
Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Lifo, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred.

Protection of Lifo and Others: We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Lifo, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

User Profile information: Information collected during registration and subsequent visits, such as your full name and location, may be displayed to other Lifo users in your User Profile. The User Profile is the area on Lifo where we allow you to tell other Lifo users about yourself and your interests. You may control what personal information is displayed in your User Profile by visiting the Privacy Settings section of your User Profile.

Member Directory: The e-mail address that you submit upon registration will be searchable by other Lifo users who know you by your email address, unless you choose to opt out of this feature. This is primarily so that other users can find you to establish friendship through Lifo. You may opt-out of this feature by visiting the Privacy Settings section of your User Profile.

Social sharing of data: Lifo allows other users to browse stories that you have submitted or commented on. This information is made available publicly via your User Profile, via the public API (services.Lifo.com), or within the permalink URL of the story on which you performed the action. Lifo may choose to post this data on other site features.
