PRIVACY POLICY
Expatriate Lifestyle ("EL") promises to serve its audience with integrity and honesty both in its published matter and online. The same is true now that we publish online. EL has developed this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy and to disclose our information-gathering and -sharing practices for www.expatriatelifestyle.com (the "site"). By visiting the site, you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy. Our site will develop and evolve over time, and this policy may change to reflect that.
Our privacy promise
We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. We are also committed to the following: (1) We will not pass on any individual user details unless we have your prior consent; and (2) if we don't have your consent to pass on individual user details, we will only give advertisers aggregate statistics about the number of users and their traffic patterns. However, if EL changes hands we reserve the right to transfer all information collected through this site to the new owner.
Personal information
EL does not require you to provide any personal information in order to access the site www.expatriatelifestyle.com. However, if you choose to register with Expatriate Lifestyle, you will be asked to supply limited personal information. EL keeps track of the number of visitors to the site, the pages they visit and how long they stay. In addition, EL collects information from visitors who click on advertisements so that we are able to measure interest in the various areas of our site and inform advertisers as to how many visitors have seen or clicked on their ads. EL also uses demographic and preference information to allow advertising banners on our site to be targeted, in the aggregate, to the readers for whom they are most pertinent.
We collect these kinds of aggregate user information for two main reasons: (1) to help us continually improve the service we offer; and (2) to sell sponsorships on the site to appropriate advertisers. EL discloses this information to advertisers. Note that advertisers do not have influence over the editorial content or reviews that appear on the site.
Cookies

Email policy
