LifeStarter Inc. (we, LifeStarter) care deeply about our relationship with you and are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of personal information you provide when using our services and products. This Privacy and Security Policy explains how we protect personal information provided through LifeStarter.com (the “Site”) and how we use that information in connection with our service offered through the Site.
By using the Service, any LifeStarter branded product or service, or by providing us your personal information, you agree to this Privacy and Security Policy and agree to be bound by our the LifeStarter Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any term in this Privacy and Security Policy, please do not provide us your personal information or use any LifeStarter branded site or service.
‘Personal Information’, for purposes of this Policy, is defined as information that identifies you, such as your name, address, phone number, photo, or email address. Personal information does not include information that is anonymous, aggregated, or is no longer identifiable to a specific person. We regularly re-evaluate our Privacy and Security policies and adapt them to address new challenges.
We do not and will not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We use and disclose your personal information only as follows:
Certain features of the Site and service may require registration, which involves provision to LifeStarter your first and last name, an email address, and a password, (collectively the “Registration Information”). To fully benefit from a subscription to our premium service (“LifeStarter Premium”) you must provide your third-party account credentials (“Account Credentials”) to allow LifeStarter to access your account data at those other financial institutions (“Account Information”) for your use. At various times we may request other personal information to provide you with other benefits of the Service. That information will only be used for the stated purpose. We may make anonymous or aggregate personal information and disclose that data in a non-personally identifiable manner to:
Your Registration Information, Account Credentials, Account Information, and other personal information you provide is strictly restricted and is used internally only to operate, develop, or improve the Site. These individuals have been selected in accordance with our security policies and are under strict confidentiality obligations. We may also use third party vendors or service providers to help us provide the Site to you, such as sending e-mail messages on our behalf or hosting and operating a particular feature or functionality of the Site. Our contracts with these third party vendors or the Terms of Service under which we operate outline the appropriate use and handling of personal information and prohibit them from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the product or service they're providing. We require such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them.
If you are an LifeStarter Premium member or are subscribing to a service that requires payment, we ask for your debit card number or checking account information to process your initial payment and all subsequent payments. We will use your email address as our primary source of contact with you regarding the Site.
LifeStarter may collect technical and navigational information such as computer browser type, Internet protocol address, pages visited, and average time spent on our Site in order to analyze trends, administer the Site, and provide efficient and specific technical support. We gather broad demographic information to improve the service, and to format email communications to align best with your computer’s capabilities. This information is collected in a generic aggregate format and is not linked to personally identifiable information.
“Cookies” are alphanumeric identifiers in the form of text files that are inserted and stored by your Web browser on your computer’s hard drive. LifeStarter may set and access cookies on your computer to track and store preferential information about you. LifeStarter may gather information about you through cookie technology. For example, LifeStarter may assign a cookie to you, to limit the amount of times you see a particular offer or to help better determine which offer to serve to you. Please note that most Internet browsers will allow you to stop cookies from being stored on your computer and to delete cookies stored on your computer. If you choose to eliminate cookies, the full functionality of the Service may be impaired for you.
We may use 3rd parties to help us analyze certain online activities. For example, these service providers may help us measure the performance of our online promotions or analyze activity on our Site. We may permit these 3rd parties to use cookies and similar technologies to perform these services. We do not share any Personal Information with these 3rd parties and these 3rd parties do not collect such information on our behalf. For example, we may use service providers such as Google Analytics and Adobe's analytics services on parts of the Site to determine age, gender, interest and other data to better serve our customers. If you prefer to not have your data used by these service providers you may visit the Google Analytics opt-out page or Adobe's analytics service page for instructions on how to opt-out.
LifeStarter does not knowingly collect information from children. LifeStarter products and services are not intended for children under the age of 13.
If you use a bulletin board, blog, commenting system or other messaging system on our Site, you should be aware that any information you submit there can be read, collected or used by other users and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these forums. These forums may be hosted by LifeStarter or by one of our third party service providers on LifeStarter’s behalf.
From time to time, we may offer you the option to participate in contests, giveaways, surveys or other promotions. If you would like to participate, we may ask you for contact information, preferences, or other information. This information may be used to conduct research, improve our Site or service, or award prizes. Any information submitted in connection with such activities will be treated in accordance with this Privacy and Security Policy, except as specifically set forth in the rules for those contests, giveaways, surveys or promotions.
LifeStarter reserves the right (and you authorize LifeStarter) to share or disclose your personal information when LifeStarter determines, in its sole discretion, that the disclosure of such information is necessary or appropriate:
Your information may be transferred in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange, or other disposition (whether of assets or otherwise) of all or a portion of a business operated by LifeStarter or its affiliates.
We may provide our registered customers with regular Account Information updates and email alerts. We also allow users to subscribe to email newsletters and from time to time may transmit emails promoting LifeStarter or LifeStarter-related goods or services. LifeStarter.com subscribers have the ability to opt-out of receiving our promotional emails and to terminate their newsletter subscriptions by following the instructions in the emails. Opting out in this manner will not end transmission of service-related emails, such as email alerts but may not end the transmission of account-critical or triggered emails such as password reset verification.
LifeStarter and our service partners employ a multi-layer security approach including firewall barriers, data encryption techniques, authentication procedures, data transmission encryption, among other hardware, software, and procedural methods. When you register for the Site, LifeStarter requires a password from you for your privacy and security. LifeStarter transmits information such as your Registration Information for LifeStarter.com or Account Credentials securely. Our technology infrastructure resides in world-class, highly secure data centers utilizing state-of-the art electronic surveillance and multi-factor access control systems. These data centers are staffed 24x7 by trained security guards, and access is authorized strictly on a least privileged basis.
From the time you submit your email address and password, these communications between your computer and LifeStarter.com are encrypted. This enables client and server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your email address and password. We also recommend that you change your password periodically. You may not provide these credentials to any third party. If you believe that they have been stolen or been made known to others, you must contact us immediately at help@lifestarter.com. If this occurs, you should change your password immediately via the Service. We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account through Registration Information they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Privacy and Security Policy or the LifeStarter.com Terms of Service.
We update this Privacy & Security Policy periodically. The date last revised appears at the top of the Policy. Changes take effect immediately upon posting on LifeStarter.com.
If you have questions, comments, concerns, or feedback about this Privacy and Security policy or any other privacy or security concern, please contact us at help@lifestarter.com.
