Privacy and Cookie Policy

Welcome to our Privacy, Cookie & Terms of Use Policy

Let’s start with the basics, like who we are

We’re Life Chiropractic College West.  For the rest of this policy, we’ll mostly refer to ourselves as, “Life West” as it’s easier to type and rolls off the tongue more easily.  To keep the lawyers happy, we may also use a variety of pronouns such as “we” and “us”, or we may simply refer to one of our websites like “lifewest.edu”.

We’ll keep the language as light as possible below, but your privacy and how we collect and use your data is important.  You should take it seriously, whether that’s here on one of our sites, or any other website you visit.

Here’s our address: Life Chiropractic College West, 25001 Industrial Blvd., Hayward, CA 94545.

We’re located in The United States and if you need to reach us by phone, you can call us at (510) 780-4501.  If you have a question or concern about any of our websites and would prefer to email us, you can send that email to webmaster@lifewest.edu.  We’d love to hear from you.

This privacy, cookie and terms of use policy and its effect on the websites we operate:

A few examples are go.lifewest.edu, info.lifewest.edu and give.lifewest.edu.  We also operate a few stand-alone websites such as lifewestwave.com. Again, we’ll post this policy on all of the websites that we operate on which this policy is meant to cover.  If you’re reading it, it covers the site that you’re on.

It is Life Chiropractic College West’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. We are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through any one of our websites.

This Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

Like the vast majority of companies who have websites on the internet, Life Chiropractic College West 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. 

Life Chiropractic College West’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Life Chiropractic College West’s visitors use our websites. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our sites.

We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on blog posts and other areas of our sites. Life Chiropractic College West only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Life Chiropractic College West’s websites choose to interact with Life Chiropractic College West in ways that require Life Chiropractic College West to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Life Chiropractic College West gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. As one of many possible examples, users who request more information from Life West will be asked to complete a form to help us understand who you are, what you’re looking for and how we can best help you.  Applicants, Students, Doctors of Chiropractic and other users may be asked to register as a user on the site. In those cases, we do keep and store that information both for administering the sites themselves (e.g. logged in user info) and for marketing purposes.
