Web Site Security
and Privacy
In order for you to make an informed choice about your
use of our web site, we have provided this statement to
fully disclose how, when and why information may be collected
from you. Any personal information that you provide to
us via this web site will only be used in accordance with
the Lifeplan Privacy Statement.
Traffic Information
We do not collect personal information such as your name,
or email address if you are just browsing the site.
However we collect non-personal information
about where our visitors have come from and who referred
them to us (by collecting their domain name, and the last
web site visited before ours), which areas they visit
within our site, and what software they use to access
our site (eg a Microsoft browser on Windows 2000).
We count, track, and aggregate this information
into an analysis of general traffic flows. These statistics
are used to make improvements to the information and services
provided at our web site, and to ensure that the format
of the information is compatible with the software our
visitors are using.
In order to organise all of this information
in a meaningful way, we may use the IP address of your
computer to track your visit to our site. An IP address
is the unique numerical identity assigned to each computer
logged onto the Internet, and this address is used to
associate a visit or series of visits with a single computer.
Your IP address is used in the process of collecting information
only, and is not forwarded to any third party, nor stored
within any of our systems, nor linked with any other information
which may personally identify you.
Cookies
Lifeplan may use cookies (small programs downloaded and
run by your web browser) in order to assist in aggregate
statistical analysis and sometimes to customise the site
for faster use. The cookies used by Lifeplan cannot be
used to determine the actual identity of visitors. Once
you have left our web site, the cookies are deleted and
no record is kept of them.
The use of cookies is not required, and
Lifeplan's web site will still operate if you have configured
your browser to not accept them.
Links to Other
Web Sites
From time to time, the Lifeplan web site may contain links
to the web sites of other companies. While these companies
will be of a reputable nature, Lifeplan cannot assume
responsibility for your privacy once you are at the web
site of another company. We advise you to read that company's
privacy policy, and make your own decisions accordingly.
Your Email Address
When you provide feedback on our web site, request further
information or request contact with a Lifeplan staff member,
we may ask you to provide your email address.
It is not Lifeplan's policy to sell email
addresses to third parties, or to make unwanted solicitations.
Your email address will not be forwarded to any third
party unless they are engaged by Lifeplan to conduct business
on our behalf, and an agreement of confidentiality exists
between Lifeplan and the other party. We provide them
with only such information about you so they can perform
their services but impose strict requirements of security
on how they handle your information.
If you provide Lifeplan with your email
address we may use your information to inform you about
other Lifeplan products and services. If you have subscribed
to a newsletter or other email service, you will be given
the option to unsubscribe each time you receive an email.
At any time, you can email Lifeplan and ask us to stop
sending email. You can also ask us to not include you
in any email advertising campaigns if you didn't indicate
this at the time you supplied your email address to us.
