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. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files
created by other Web sites. Cookies do not damage your system. 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. If you choose not to accept
