This Privacy Policy explains what information of yours will be collected by TipTop^sm (From: Life To: Life^sm) when you use TipTopBest.com and related services (the “Service”), how the information will be used, and how you can control the collection, correction and/or deletion of information. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

User-Provided Information: You provide us information about yourself, such as your name and e-mail address, when you register with the Service. If you correspond with us by email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address and our responses. If you correspond with third parties via by email through the Service, we may retain the content of your email messages and the email addresses of such third parties.

Cookies Information: When you visit TipTopBest.com, we may send one or more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters - to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and lets TipTop^sm help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie does not collect personal information about you. A cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits in order to simplify the process of delivering relevant content and ease site navigation. TipTop^sm uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to use interactive features of this or other web sites that depend on cookies to function properly.

Log File Information: When you register with or view our Service, our servers automatically record certain standard information about your visit that is automatically reported by your browser each time you access a web page, including your IP address, browser type and language, access times, and referring Web site addresses. TipTop^sm may also log your search queries, search criteria, the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with the Service for the purposes of systems administration or to report information in aggregate form to our advertisers, sponsors, and corporate partners.

Web Beacon Information: When you use the Service, we may employ clear gifs (a.k.a. clear or single-pixel gifs) which are used to assist in delivering cookies on our sites and allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. No personally identifiable information from your TipTop^sm account is collected using these web beacons. In addition, we may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or our newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. TipTop^sm may also employ web beacons from third parties in order to help us compile aggregated statistics and determine the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. The information is used to enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing, and make TipTop^sm better for our users.

How We Use Your Information

User-Provided Information: We use the personal information you submit to operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of the Service. Any personal information, reviews or other content that you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service (for instance, in User Content you post) becomes available to the public. If you remove User Content, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored your User Content.

By providing TipTop^sm (From: Life To: Life^sm) your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as newsletters, changes to features of the Service, or special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by sending an email message to help@TipTopBest.com with the word "No email" in the subject field. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. You may not opt out of Service-related notices.

TipTop^sm may use certain information about you and/or your User Content without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as analyzing how the Service is used, diagnosing service or technical problems, maintaining security, and personalizing advertisements and promotions. TipTop^sm reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor the User Content you post on the site. TipTop^sm has the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation, if in its sole opinion, such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or our Terms of Use Agreement or to protect or defend its rights or property or those of any third party. TipTop^sm also reserves the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.

Cookies, Web Beacon, and Log File Information: We use cookies, clear gifs, and log file information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our service; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors and traffic; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP; and (f) help you efficiently access your information after you sign in.

How We Share Your Information

Personally Identifiable Information: TipTop^sm (From: Life To: Life^sm) will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to others. TipTop^sm may share your personally identifiable information with third parties solely for the purpose of providing services to you. If we do this, such third parties’ use of your information will be bound by this Privacy Policy. We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of TipTop^sm (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers). Personal information may be stored or processed in the United States or any other country in which TipTop^sm or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using the Service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or dissolution.

Except as otherwise described in this privacy statement, TipTop^sm will not disclose personal information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of TipTop^sm, our users or others.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain TipTop^sm services.

TipTop^sm allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements on the TipTop^sm site. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on TipTop^sm . They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content.

TipTop^sm does not provide any personally identifiable information to these third-party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if an advertiser asks TipTop^sm to show an advertisement to a certain audience and you respond to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach.

You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers or ad networks. The TipTop^sm privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such advertisers.

How We Protect Your Information

TipTop^sm (From: Life To: Life^sm) uses commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to TipTop^sm and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission of information, TipTop^sm makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of our systems. However, please note that this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from TipTop^sm , at all times.

Compromise of Personal Information

In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a breach of security, TipTop^sm (From: Life To: Life^sm) will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

You may, of course, decline to submit personally identifiable information through TipTop^sm (From: Life To: Life^sm) , in which case TipTop^sm may not be able to provide certain services to you. You may update or correct your account information and email preferences at any time by logging in to your account. You can review and correct the information about you that TipTop^sm keeps on file by contacting us directly at help@TipTopBest.com.

Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, TipTop^sm (From: Life To: Life^sm) does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 is allowed to provide any personal information to or on TipTop^sm. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at contact@TipTopBest.com.
