By simply accessing the WEBSITE, LIV COLIFE collects the IP address and other data relating to the connection and its origin. The IP address is a code that identifies the User’s internet connection at a specific time. Only the User’s Internet access provider can identify the subscriber who was assigned an IP address at a particular time. By the very nature of the server that supports the WEBSITE, the User’s IP address is automatically recorded together with the date and time of access. This data is only used to manage the normal use of the WEBSITE and to carry out statistical analyses on the use of the website.

Likewise, data of users who register in any of the forms available on this WEBSITE and data related to cookies may be processed as indicated in point 5 of this document.
