Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other website, Lifelox uses “cookies”. These cookies are used to store information including visitors’ preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users’ experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors’ browser type and/or other information.

Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on Lifelox. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to Lifelox and/or other sites on the internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices. We may update our advertising partners over time as the site grows; this Privacy Policy will always reflect the advertising networks currently in use.
Third-Party Privacy Policies
Lifelox’s Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt out of certain options.
Firebase & Data Storage
Lifelox is built on Google Firebase. Comments, contact-form submissions, and sign-in information (when you use Google Sign-In to comment) are stored using Firebase Authentication and Firestore, which are subject to Google’s own security practices and Firebase Privacy and Security policies. We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data collected through Lifelox to third parties.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to help protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain comments and contact-form messages for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or until you request their deletion. You may request that we delete your comment or message at any time by contacting us.
Children’s Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their children’s online activity. Lifelox does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately at alamzaweb@gmail.com and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
