Life Sentence takes data privacy very seriously. We would like you to understand when, how, and what type of data will be collected and stored when you use our website, and the purposes for which we intend to use and process this information.

Personally identifiable information (= personal information/data) refers to information that is collected and used in order to determine your identity. This includes for example your name, postal address, telephone number, or e-mail address. It does not apply to the collection of non-personally identifiable information (non-personal information/data), i. e. data collected for statistical purposes, for example on the number of website users. LSR collects personally identifiable information when you register on our website, place an order for our products, and/or subscribe to our newsletter. You may, however, visit our website anonymously, i. e. without disclosing any personally identifiable information about yourself.

Please note that no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the absolute security of any data that you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk.

To keep your personal information safe, data is stored on highly secure servers located in Italy. Your data is stored, processed and used exclusively for the purposes of providing you with information on our products and services, contacting you in this context, and processing your orders.

When you visit our website, our servers automatically record data for backup and security purposes. Such data may include non-personally identifiable information such as your IP address, or date and time of the page view. We will not use your IP address to identify you in any way, and we will not create personal or pseudonymous user profiles. However, by submitting personally identifiable data through our website or services, you expressly consent to the collection and processing of your data.

Google Analytics and your Choices of Opting out

Life Sentence uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the Life Sentence website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including parts of your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that are (up to this day) located in the USA. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Life Sentence website, compiling reports on website activity for LSR’s website operators and providing them other services relating to website activity and Internet usage.

Furthermore, you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data and opt-out of receiving future cookies from Google Analytics at any time by downloading and installing Google Analytics’opt-out browser add-on for your web browser available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Google Analytics opt out add-on is designed to be compatible with a wide range of web browsers.

Given the debate about the use of web analytics tools that collect the full IP address owners information, we would like to point out that Google will truncate (=shorten) the IP address for Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the whole IP address is sent to and then shortened by Google servers in the USA.
