Applied Nutrition Privacy Policy

We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The term “Affiliates” as used in this Privacy Policy refers to related companies or brands. The term Service Providers refers to entities which meet the definition of Service Providers as defined in the California Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) Section 1798.140(v). If any personal information is shared with Service Providers such Service Provider may only use such information for the purpose for which it has been contracted. We do not share or sell your personal information with unrelated third party advertisers. The following discloses our Privacy Policy. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. Please refer back to this page from time to time to check for updates.

What information are you collecting, how are you collecting it, and what do you use it for?

IP Addresses

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer’s “Internet Protocol” (IP address). When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the Applied Nutrition Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor’s domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of the Applied Nutrition Network, its users, or to cooperate with law enforcement. We may also use your IP address internally and share it with Service Providers to improve the appearance and functionality of the website.

What information do you collect when I purchase something?

If you are purchasing something from Applied Nutrition we need to know your first and last name, e-mail address, mailing address, billing address and phone number. Only the last 4 digits of your credit card number is stored in our system. This allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. This information may also be used by us to notify you of related products and services.

Applied Nutrition properties use a shopping cart feature that safeguards your personal information by using industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted servers. SSL codes the information transferred between you and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone trying to intercept the information. Wherever Applied Nutrition collects personal information we will include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

Personal information gathered during purchases may be shared with Affiliates or Service Providers in order to maintain or service accounts, provide customer service, process or fulfill orders and transactions, verify customer information, process payments, provide financing, provide advertising or marketing services, provide analytic services, or provide similar services on behalf of the business or Service Provider.

What information do you collect when I register for something?

Applied Nutrition may offer access to some services that are free but that require registration, such as subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about conferences and trade shows. To register for these types of services we may need to know your e-mail address, and/or mailing address. We may use your registration contact information to send notification of Applied Nutrition® products and services by e-mail and/or postal mail. We may also share that information with our Affiliates and Service Providers if required to perform the specific task required by the registration. Applied Nutrition and/or its Affiliates may send you promotional material that is related to the topic of the service for which you registered unless you have chosen not to receive it. We do not intend to sell, or rent your e-mail address to non-affiliate third-party advertisers.

We may from time to time send an e-mail announcing new Applied Nutrition™ products and services or those of our Affiliates. Except as stated above, Applied Nutrition will not send you an e-mail that you have not agreed to receive. If you choose to supply your postal address in an online form, you may receive mailings from our third party vendors who assist with the preparation of our Newsletters and other Applied Nutrition and/or Affiliate mailings, but not non-affiliate third party advertisers. When you enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask for your name, address, and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.

What are cookies?

From time to time, Applied Nutrition, its Affiliates, or Service Providers may send a “cookie” to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive.

We use cookies to identify which areas of the Applied Nutrition Network of Web sites you have visited or customized, so the next time you visit those pages they may be readily accessible. Along with our Affiliates and Service Providers, we may also use cookies to ascertain how many times you’ve seen an advertisement. Along with our Affiliates and Service Providers, we may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you see on our site. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent.

California Privacy Rights

California residents have additional online privacy rights. California residents may contact Applied Nutrition to request the following information related to their own personal information:

The types and sources of personal information we have collected
The commercial purpose of collecting such personal information
The third parties with whom that personal information has been shared
The deletion of any personal information collected by Applied Nutrition, Affiliates or its Service Providers.

Note that in some instances even if a consumer requests that personal information be deleted, Applied Nutrition may be authorized to retain such information if it falls under an exemption in the CCPA. These decisions will be made on a case by case basis. California residents may not be penalized by companies for making such requests to those companies. For example, companies may not deny certain goods or charge different rates to consumers who make such information requests. However, in certain circumstances such discrimination or rate differences may be allowed if those policies are reasonably related to the value provided to the consumer by providing such personal information. Applied Nutrition may offer financial incentives in exchange for the collection of personal information.
