This Privacy Policy applies to when you access or use any information or content appearing on LifeNews.com, whether as a “Registered User” or as a non-registered user just browsing LifeNews.com (a “Visitor”). This Privacy Policy also explains what type of information is collected if you visit third party websites serving content tagged by Publishers or Advertisers. We may change the Privacy Policy from time to time. Please consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any updates.
