The use of your information we collect
We may use your information for the following purposes:
- to make your actions known on our website and to third parties. For example, your name may appear together with your comments on our website.
- to send you updates and alerts by email, mail, instant messaging, push notifications, or telephone.
We will only process your personal information as necessary for the abovementioned purposes. In doing so, we will consider the balance between your privacy and our interest in processing and refrain from processing if your privacy interest overrides our legitimate interest. In exceptional circumstances we may also be legally required to disclose or otherwise process your personal information. When we ask you to provide information about yourself, we will tell you if the provision of the requested information is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or, on the other hand, if it is purely voluntary. There will be no implications if you decline to provide the information. If you are uncertain about LIFE OASIS need for information that we request from you, please get in touch with the LIFE OASIS representative asking for the information, or contact us (see below), with your query. Disclosure and international transfer of your information: We may disclose personal information about you where we have obtained your consent or where it is reasonably necessary for the various purposes set out above:
- to a LIFE OASIS based in the country you took action from on this website;
- to service providers who host our website or other information technology systems or otherwise hold or process your information on our behalf under at least the same level of strict conditions of confidentiality and security;
- to judicial authorities or other public authorities, in case our legal or moral responsibility compels us to do so (e.g., if you express intent about performing a terrorist activity);
- or litigation counterparties in any country or territory, although only if we are legally required to do so and have no satisfactory basis or prospect to challenge disclosure.
These disclosures may involve transferring your personal information overseas. If you are dealing with us within the European Economic Area, you should be aware that this may include transfers to countries outside the European Economic Area, which do not have similarly strict data privacy laws. In those cases where we transfer personal data to the independent LIFE OASIS or our service providers, we will ensure that our arrangements with them are governed by data transfer agreements or mechanisms designed to ensure that your personal information is protected (including, where appropriate, under a deal on terms approved for this purpose by the European Commission). Please get in touch with us (see below) if you would like to know whether any such agreements are in place or, if so, to see a copy.
Retention and deletion of your information
LIFE OASIS intends to keep your personal information accurate and up-to-date. We will delete the information we hold about you when we no longer need it. We will retain your information for no longer than 2 years after our most recent communication with you, after which it will be deleted or anonymized unless we have a legal obligation to retain it for a more extended period. Contact us for more information.

LIFE OASIS cookies policy
We want to ensure that you enjoy browsing our website. To enhance your experience and collect information about your use of our site, we place “cookies” on your computer. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit or to another website that recognizes that cookie:
- cookies allow our systems to recognize the user’s device and make any pre-settings immediately available
- as soon as a user accesses the platform, a cookie is sent to the hard disk of the respective user’s computer
Cookies are functional because they:
- allow a website to recognize a user’s device and to target the content displayed to the user’s interests
- help us to improve our website
- offer you a better service more tailored to your requirements
- enable us to recognize your device when you return to our website
- store information about your favorite activities on the website, allowing us to tailor our website to your interests. This may, for example, include advertising according to your interests and accelerate the rate at which we can deal with your queries.
By using our website, you agree that, unless you have set your computer’s browser to reject them, we can place the types of cookies set out below on your device and use that data by this policy. Types of cookies There are two broad types of cookies – ‘first party cookies’ and ‘third party cookies’:
- First-party cookies are served directly by the website operator to your computer. They are often used to recognize your computer when it revisits that site and to remember your preferences as you browse it. These are our cookies.
- A service provider serves third-party cookies on behalf of the website operator and can be used by the service provider to recognize your computer when you visit other websites. Third-party cookies are most commonly used for website analytics or advertising purposes.

The remaining cookies will only be placed if you consent to our privacy policy. LIFE OASIS does not govern the publication of third-party cookies. Please visit the relevant third party’s website, such as Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, if you want to learn more about these cookies. If you do not wish to use cookies, you can set your browser so that the storage of cookies is not accepted.

Should you not be willing to get the analytics cookies, please change your cookies settings above (‘change your cookies preferences’).
