In order to use certain portions of the Service, you may be asked for, and you may choose to provide, certain personally identifiable information (“PII”) such as an email address, name, home or work address, telephone number, PayPal account and similar information.  We will not collect PII from you while you use the Service unless you voluntarily provide it to us or authorize us to collection such information.

You authorize Lootzi to receive any account information from any affiliated merchant including, but not limited to, information regarding any purchase made by you through utilization of the Service, such as: the products ordered, the order number, the time and date of the purchase, the email address entered for the purchase.

Collection on Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Lootzi does collect and track certain non-personally identifiable (“non-PII”) information, including but not limited to, user IP numbers and browser type, access times, domain names, usage habits and other information which does not specifically identify any individual.


Cookies and Related Tools
"Cookies" are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a web site for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that web site. We may use cookies to customize your use of the Service and for other purposes to improve your use of the Service.  You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences, in which case you may still use our Service, but it may interfere with some of its functionality. We do not use cookies to automatically retrieve PII from your computer without your knowledge.

“Web Beacons” (also known as “web bugs” and “action tags”) are graphic images on an email page or web page that are designed to track pages viewed or messages opened.  We may use web beacons and third party cookies.

“Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses” is a number assigned to your computer by your internet services provider so you can access the internet.   Our website uses IP Addresses.  Generally, an IP address will change each time that you connect to the internet.  You should be aware, however, in the case of some users of broadband connections, it is possible that the IP address will be a “static address”, which means that it will not change and could be associated with the individual computer being used.  We use your IP address to report aggregate information on use and to help improve the Service.

Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Lootzi may use or disclose PII for the following general purposes: to operate and manage the Service, to provide services that you have requested, to respond to your other inquires or requests, to improve our services, or to contact you. We may also disclose PII in the establishment or exercise of legal rights or defenses against legal claims, to comply with applicable laws or regulations, to comply with a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order, or to investigate suspected fraud or a violation of the terms of the Lootzi User Agreement.

We will never sell your PPI to any third party not affiliated with Lootzi without your consent, except in connection with the sale or merger of Lootzi or the division responsible for such services.

You should be aware that PII which you voluntarily include and transmit online, such as in online forums, may be viewed and used by anyone with access to such forums. Lootzi is unable to control such uses of your PII.

Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may use and disclose non-PII for any number of reasons, including but not limited to, working with business partners and improving our Service.

Security
The security of your PII is very important to us and we take commercially reasonable steps to attempt to secure your PII. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect. Only those employees and contractors who need access to your PII in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and Lootzi or information stored or transmitted through the Service or on our servers, will be completely free from unauthorized access by third parties such as hackers, and your use of the Service demonstrates your assumption of this risk.

No Children under 13
We have no intention of collecting PII from children under the age of 13. When we become aware that PII from a child under 13 has been collected without such child's parent or guardian's consent, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database.

Changes in Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Lootzi will post those changes on this page. 

Opt-out
We give you the option to remove your PII from our list of active users completely in connection with the termination of your Lootzi.com user account. All unsubscribe or opt-out requests should be sent to us at optout@Lootzi.com and we will process your request within a reasonable time after receipt. We are not responsible for removing your PII from the lists of any third party who has previously been provided your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
