We only collect personal information that is relevant to the purpose of our website, which is to enable users to discover and share information with one another.

We collect the following types of information from our LotText users:

A- Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.

LotText and its authorized agents automatically receive and record certain "traffic data" on their server logs from your browser including your IP address, LotText cookie information, and the page you requested. LotText uses this traffic data to help diagnose problems with its servers, analyze trends and administer the website.

LotText is very concerned about your privacy and we will never provide your email address to a third party without your explicit permission, as detailed in the "Sharing Your Information" section below. LotText may send out e-mails with LotText-related news, products, offers, surveys or promotions. You may also receive notification e-mails from LotText, which inform you of actions (e.g. friend requests) that have been performed on the site.

Keeping Information Secure

Your LotText account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by logging off once you have finished using a shared computer.
Only employees who need personal information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to it. All of our employees are kept up to date on our privacy and security practices.
