A. Personal Data you provide to Lioness Woman’s Club
Personally Identifiable Information is any information that can be used to identify a specific
individual such as your name, email address, home address, and phone number. Lioness Woman’s
Club asks you to provide Personally Identifiable Information in various places throughout the
Lioness Woman’s Club Network. Some of these areas where the collection of such information
takes place are listed below:
Member Registration

to register to become a member. During this member registration process, we will ask you
for Personally Identifiable Information. In addition, you may choose to provide Lioness
Woman’s Club with additional information including marital status, household income,
education and employment status.
Email Newsletters
Lioness Woman’s Club offers electronic newsletters on a variety of topics. If you subscribe
to any of these newsletters, you will be required to provide a valid email address as well
as any other information that is relevant to the delivery of the newsletter (e.g., certain
Astrology.com newsletters require you to provide your birthday).
Surveys and Polls
Lioness Woman’s Club offers online surveys and questionnaires that ask users for opinions
on various issues and/or other information. Occasionally, we may request demographic
information (like zip code, age or gender) when you answer a survey. Such surveys are
completely voluntary.
ECommerce Transactions
When you engage in an ecommerce transaction on the Lioness Woman’s Club Network you may
be asked to provide credit card information and other Personally Identifiable Information
in order to complete the transaction.
B. Information gathered by Lioness Woman’s Club and its third party service providers
When you visit the Lioness Woman’s Club Network and interact with the services and
tools that reside there, Lioness Woman’s Club and third parties with whom Lioness Woman’s
Club has contracted to provide services to Lioness Woman’s Club may collect information on
your actions. This type of information is generally collected from two sources. One is from
the server log files and the other is from cookies.
IP Address
Your IP address is a number that is assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to your
computer to identify its location. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our
server and to administer our website. We also sometimes use IP addresses to communicate with
members and subscribers and possibly even ban those members who are not complying with our
Terms of Service.
Cookies
Our site uses a feature of your browser to set a "cookie" on your computer. Cookies are small
packets of information that a site's computer stores on your computer. The Lioness Woman’s
Club Network can then read the cookies whenever you visit the Lioness Woman’s Club websites.
We use cookies to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our
site, to deliver content specific to your interests, to track the pages you've visited and to
make sure you don't see the same ads repeatedly. These cookies allow us to use the information
we collect to customize your Lioness Woman’s Club experience so that your visit to Lioness
Woman’s Club is as relevant and as valuable to you as possible.
You may modify your browser preference to provide you with choices relating to cookies. You
have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set or to reject all
cookies. If you choose to reject cookies you may be unable to use those Lioness Woman’s Club
services that require registration in order to participate or will have to sign in each time
you visit the Lioness Woman’s Club Network.
Our advertising is currently served by third party advertising companies which deliver a
cookie to you so the ads you see can be tracked and ensure that you are not shown the same
ad too many times. Since the third party advertising company only tags your computer with
a number, they know nothing about who you are. Lioness Woman’s Club does not provide these
third party advertising companies with any personally identifiable information. However,
these companies may use non-personally identifiable information about your visits to the
Lioness Woman’s Club Network and other sites in order to provide advertisements about goods
and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and
to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies,
click here.
2. How Lioness Woman’s Club uses Information it collects
Lioness Woman’s Club uses the information you provide for several purposes, such as to
communicate with you and to give you a better experience when visiting the Lioness Woman’s
Club Network by personalizing tools, content, services and email messages. Lioness Woman’s
Club also uses this information to build new services and develop offers that Lioness Woman’s
Club believes are more relevant and valuable to you.
The information collected by Lioness Woman’s Club is also used to create aggregated portraits
of the Lioness Woman’s Club audience, portraits which present anonymous statistical demographic
information but no personally identifiable information. This aggregated information is used,
among other things, to determine trends and needs, and also to supply market research to potential
advertisers and partners to help them understand who the Lioness Woman’s Club audience is. For
example, we may create a report that tells advertisers that 60 percent of our members are females
in a certain age range, so that they can determine which of their products or services are most
appropriate for our members.
Lioness Woman’s Club offers the ability to forward an article to another person via email. If
you use this service, we will use the recipient's email address in order to send the article
or postcard and we will also ask for your email address. We do not use the recipient's email
address for any other purpose unless such recipient gives us permission to do so.
3. Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information to Third Parties
Lioness Woman’s Club does not sell or otherwise share Personally Identifiable Information with
unaffiliated third parties without your consent (please see the Opt-In/Opt-Out Policy below),
except in the following instances: (i) disclosure is required by applicable law or pursuant
to a court or similar order; (ii) as deemed necessary, in Lioness Woman’s Club's discretion,
to protect the legal rights or the property of Lioness Woman’s Club, a member or third party,
or to prevent personal injury; and/or (iii) in the event of a sale, merger, assignment, joint
venture or other transfer or disposition of a portion or all of the assets or stock of Lioness
Woman’s Club or its affiliated entities (including, without limitation, in connection with any
bankruptcy or similar proceedings). In addition, Lioness Woman’s Club may provide Personally
Identifiable Information to third parties who are providing technical or fulfillment services

services, provided that such third parties agree to be bound by Lioness Woman’s Club's Privacy
Policy. Lioness Woman’s Club also reserves the right to share any Personally Identifiable
Information or other information about you which you provide to (or which is gathered from)

Personally Identifiable Information to Affiliates for their direct marketing uses). Lioness
Woman’s Club will also have access to any information you provide to (or which is gathered from)
the web sites of any of our Affiliates.
Oftentimes, sweepstakes and contests offered on the Lioness Woman’s Club Network are sponsored
by unaffiliated third parties. Information that you provide as part of an entry into a sponsored
sweepstakes or contest will be shared with the sponsor if we advise you of such in the sweepstakes
rules. Most sweepstakes and contests will also ask you to consent to the release of information
contained within the entry form for tax purposes if you become a winner. You should carefully
review the rules of each sweepstakes, contest and giveaway which you enter as they may contain
additional important information about Lioness Woman’s Club's or a sponsor's use of your
personally identifiable information. To the extent that you wish to avail yourself of the
health, wellness and medical related services and tools available through the Lioness Woman’s

identifiable information with the health, wellness and medical partners you have chosen to

Ethics principles, as applicable.

with a third party (including tools that are hosted by a third party) may be shared with
advertisers and partners on an aggregated basis and in these instances your permission will
not be requested since no Personally Identifiable Information will be shared or provided to
these third party sponsors or advertisers. Lioness Woman’s Club will, however, use commercially
reasonable efforts to contractually require all such third party advertisers and partners to
agree not to use any non-personally identifiable information about you, in conjunction with
other sources of information, or otherwise, to identify you.

send you an email message that matches your request(s). We currently provide the following

instances where you have opted-in to receive such offers, goods and services from
third parties, Lioness Woman’s Club will share your information with such third
parties and will often provide you access to the Privacy Policy of the third party
for your review via a link. In some instances, when you have the opportunity on
the Lioness Woman’s Club Network to subscribe to a newsletter offered by a third-party
email service or advertiser or partner, the email address information will be located
on the third party's server and any information you provide is subject to that entity's
Privacy Policy, not this one.

sponsors use information about you, we urge you to contact them directly. For purposes
of this Privacy Policy, "opt-in" is generally defined as any affirmative action by an
Lioness Woman’s Club member or visitor to submit or receive information, as the case may be.

sites we link.

we take the protection of children's privacy very seriously. Lioness Woman’s Club does
not encourage participation or visitation by children. Visitors who are known to be under
the age of 13 are prohibited from becoming a member. Anyone under the age of eighteen is
discouraged from participating in any sex related chats or message boards and we ask that
no one less than eighteen years of age become a community volunteer.

Throughout the Lioness Woman’s Club Network various public forums such as chat rooms, message
boards, "ask the expert" areas and various question and answer areas are available to you as
a registered Lioness Woman’s Club member.
Please remember that any information you disclose in these public forum areas becomes public
information and is immediately accessible on the Lioness Woman’s Club Network, so it is
important for you to exercise discretion and appropriate caution when deciding to reveal
personal information in these areas. Lioness Woman’s Club may decide to utilize the content
of Q&A's, interactions with experts, and/or chat room and message board content throughout
the Lioness Woman’s Club Network and in promotions in order to enhance Lioness Woman’s Club's
editorial, advertising, promotional and similar activities. In those cases, we often provide
authorship credit by listing the author's member name. We therefore encourage you to use care
in protecting your identity when you choose a member name and to keep your member name
confidential.

determine who can view your profile or any part of your profile. When you create your profile,
or at any time after you've created your profile, you can set your privacy settings by clicking
on to the "Privacy Settings" link under the "My Page" tab. By clicking on the "All Users" button
(which is the default setting), all of your information will be available to all users. If you
click "Friends Only", you have the ability to limit those who can view your profile to those
users of whom you provide approval. While a "Friends Only" setting will limit access to your
profile, in all instances, please use the same caution you would use in posting information
about yourself on any other part of the Lioness Woman’s Club Network.

misuse and alteration of the information under our control, including your credit card
information if you choose to conduct an e-commerce transaction on the Lioness Woman’s
Club Network. All of your member information require use of your password. We recommend

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

contrary in this Privacy Policy. In addition, Lioness Woman’s Club reserves the right to
make non-significant changes to our Privacy Policy that will not affect Lioness Woman’s
Club's use of a user's Personally Identifiable Information at any time without any notice
