LoveTotal Privacy Statement

LoveTotal is strongly dedicated to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website, including international segments.

The protection of your privacy is very important to us. We have implemented the following practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information. From time to time, changes to this Privacy Statement will be communicated on this site.

Cookies are small pieces of information that a web site places on your computer's hard drive so we know it's you when you visit. This helps us to create a personalized experience for you when you visit our site. The use of cookies is a very common practice on the Internet. We do use cookies to identify traffic that comes through advertising and to keep track of your purchases and other activity on the Site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password, and if you choose, to save other personal information so you do not have to re-enter it. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help" screen of most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access particular areas on the Site.

When you register to use any LoveTotal service you will be asked for some general identifying information which will enable us to provide you with individualized service. We gather "personal information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly such as postal address or email address) or "demographic information" (i.e. information that you submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal information nor financial information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code, postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, purchase history information, browsing history information, searching history information, registration history information, and the content of communications between you and other members over the Site). Demographic information is divided into two categories: "non-public information", which consists of purchase history information and one-on-one communications between you and other users of the Site; "public information", which consists of all other demographic information. We ask that you do not enter personal information or financial information into your "Profile" (for example, don't use your address as your username, or include your name or address in your written responses), because if you do then it may be posted publicly on the Site, and the information will then be treated as "demographic information" that is "public information." This information is not linked in any way to your personally identifiable information. Obviously, if you provide us with a photograph some of your information may become personally identifiable information. Please note that we do not purposely collect personal information from people under the age of 18 anywhere on the Site, as we entail that all users are at least 18 years old.

How will this information be used and who has access to it?

We may use your contact information to send you valuable updates and timely notices of promotions and mailbox status reports. Our site provides you with the opportunity to opt-in to receiving different types of communications from us at the point where we request registration information. You may modify this choice at any time by selecting "Preferences" from the member Profile page. Other than your internal mail box on LoveTotal, your contact information is never available to other members or organizations, unless we reasonably believe we are required to do so by operation of law. We keep the information you have given us for as long as you are a member on the site.

We may share your personal information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers so they can provide us with support services such as authorization of credit card transactions, email origination, receipt or support services, customer relationship management services, order fulfillment and sweepstakes and promotional fulfillment. We require these entities not to use your information for any other purpose.

We do not collect any financial information of our members (like credit card numbers). Payment for LoveTotal subscription is provided by PayPal's payment interface. You can read about PayPal's privacy policy here.

Our members communicate with each other using internal email system. Personal email addresses of our members are not visible to other members or guest visitors. While we do not, as a rule, moderate or monitor members' private exchanges, we reserve the right to do so if we suspect users of using our service for the purpose of solicitation or any other violation of our terms of use. Member submissions that appear on the public area of the site are moderated and, if necessary, we reserve the right to edit, delete, remove or not use any communication on a public area of the site.

Advertisers

When you inquire about advertising opportunities on our site, you will be asked for contact information and information related to your advertising objectives.

LoveTotal may contain links to other sites not affiliated with LoveTotal. Please note that these other sites may have privacy policies that differ from those of LoveTotal.
