Other Provide Nutrition Web Site Notices

In some cases, specific Provide Nutrition Web sites may contain other notices about their use and the information practices applicable to those sites.


Our Worldwide Practices

Provide Nutrition is a global organization, with legal entities, business processes, management structures, and technical systems that cross borders. Our privacy practices are designed to provide protection for your personal information, all over the world. We may share your personal information within Provide Nutrition and transfer it to countries in the world where we do business. Some countries may provide less legal protection for your information. In such countries Provide Nutrition will still handle information in the manner we describe here.


Information Security and Quality

We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information, to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its quality.

Supplementing Information

From time to time we may supplement information you give us via an Provide Nutrition Web site with information from other sources, such as information validating your address or other available information about businesses. This is to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect and to help us provide a better service.

Use of Suppliers

In some cases Provide Nutrition uses suppliers to collect, use, analyze and otherwise process information on its behalf. It is Provide Nutrition 's practice to require such suppliers to handle information in a manner consistent with Provide Nutrition 's policies.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, Provide Nutrition decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is Provide Nutrition ’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies

We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on Provide Nutrition Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Provide Nutrition or others on Provide Nutrition 's behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.

Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in an non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.

We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some Provide Nutrition pages use cookies, sent by Provide Nutrition or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some Web sites may not work properly.

Some Provide Nutrition Web sites also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across Provide Nutrition 's Web sites. When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don't want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies.

If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded. For more information, please see "How to work with Cookies".

Service Quality Monitoring

Certain Web transactions may also involve you calling us or our calling you. Please be aware that it is Provide Nutrition 's general practice to monitor and in some cases record such calls for staff training or quality assurance purposes.

Online Advertising

Certain companies help us deliver interactive on-line advertising such as banner ads. These companies may collect and use information about customers to help us better understand the offers, promotions, and types of advertising that are most appealing to our customers. After it is collected the information is aggregated so it is not identifiable to a specific individual. If, however, you would prefer that these companies not collect such information, please visit www.networkadvertising.org and follow the "opt-out" instructions.

Personalized URL Link

On occasion, we may personalize and customize Web sites for certain visitors. If you visit one of these sites, you may find it customized with references to products and/or services that we believe may be of interest to you, based on your previous interactions with Provide Nutrition and information you have provided to us. While you are visiting these Web sites, we may collect information about your visit to better tailor the site to your interests. An invitation to visit one of these Web sites is usually presented as a personalized URL in an e-mail, a notice on a Web site registration page, or as a response to you logging on to a certain Web site.

If you choose to visit one of these Web sites, you are agreeing to let Provide Nutrition collect information about your visits and also to its association with other information about you and your relationship with Provide Nutrition. If you do not wish your information to be used in this way, do not accept the invitation to visit these sites.

Disclosures Required By Law

Please be aware that in certain circumstances, it is possible that personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders.

Privacy Technology

Technology will increasingly help give you more control over your personal information. It will also help organizations to manage their privacy practices and policies. As an information technology provider, Provide Nutrition actively supports the development of privacy technologies to help achieve these goals and to help create greater trust and confidence in the way personal information is handled.

Other products and services are available which can assist you with the control of your personal information while navigating the Web.
