Many of the ways in which you interact with the Club Weight Loss Web site (the "Site") allow us to learn about you. We collect and store statistics and other information about the online activities of our visitors on an aggregated (collective) basis. For example, we track the number of people who view each page to learn which features are the most popular. Most of the time, we do not obtain personally identifiable information about you.
In those instances where we do collect personally identifiable information, we will do our best to give you the option of choosing whether or not to reveal it to us. Some examples of when you voluntarily submit this kind of information include (but may not be limited to) when you fill out our registration page, send us your feedback, or post in our forum, blog, chat rooms or message boards. Personally identifiable informatio may include your name, physical address, email address, telephone number, other information such as your current weight and goal weight, or a credit card number, provided in association with other personally identifiable information. If you do not provide all "required" information, however, some portions of our site will not work properly for you, or you may be denied access to certain sections of the Web site.
In the event of a complaint, we may also receive personally identifiable information about you from other parties or from other users or third parties who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.
HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION
We do not, and never will, sell your email addresses or your name and personal demographic information to any mass marketing company. We use your information on a personal basis to do things like distribute email communications, enhance our site, and sell and deliver advertising. We may also use this data, both aggregated and personally identifiable, to enhance your on-site experience by displaying content and marketing messages that we believe will be of interest to you. You may find that we disclose aggregated information about our site to third parties for purposes of analyzing our Web site traffic and optimizing how we lay out and display content on the site.
We may share information collected through online transactions, like names, addresses, and purchase history, under contracts with non-Club Weight Loss companies such as printers, mail houses, and list management companies that help Club Weight Loss inform you of products or special offers to which you may be entitled. All companies with which we do business have agreed to be bound to our Privacy Policy restraints and will not sell, rent, or otherwise transmit your personal information.
COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING METHODS
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our Site. We use cookies or, in a limited number of cases, IP addresses, for a number of reasons:
1.) cookies allow you to store your password without having to constantly re-enter it.
2.) cookies can also help us to tailor our Site or a marketing message to better match your needs and interests.
3.) cookies allow us to better understand how users best use our Site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most popular with our users.
You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but be advised that if you do, some parts of our Site may not work properly.
OTHER SITES
Please note that if you provide any information on your own to parties who provide service to us or to any other sites you encounter on the Internet (even if these sites are branded with our branding), different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. We encourage you to investigate their privacy policies and ask questions before disclosing information to those third parties.
LIMITS ON OUR ABILITIES
Your privacy is important to us; however, we cannot ensure that your private communications and other personally identifiable information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Additionally, in the event we need to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can (and by use of our Site you authorize us to) disclose information about you to private entities, law enforcement, or other government officials as we, in our discretion or as may be required under law, believe necessary or appropriate.
SECURITY
We use industry-standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, employing firewalls and Secure Socket Layers where appropriate. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet. Club Weight Loss encourages you to learn as much as you can about your privacy on the Internet.
CHANGES TO WEB SITE
We may change, move, or delete portions of, or may add to, our Site from time to time.
UPDATES
Written notice of modifications to the Privacy Policy will be posted on this Web site. Your use of our Site following any such change constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the terms as changed.
