Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Designs by Lulu collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Designs by Lulu’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Designs by Lulu’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Designs by Lulu may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Designs by Lulu’s websites choose to interact with Designs by Lulu in ways that require Designs by Lulu to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Designs by Lulu gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive Designs by Lulu updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Designs by Lulu collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Designs by Lulu.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Designs by Lulu take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
