Cookies,
Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology. Healthier
Living Institute currently uses cookie and web beacon technology to
associate certain Internet-related information about you with
information about you in its database. Additionally, Healthier Living
Institute may use other new and evolving sources of information in the
future.
- (a) Cookies.
"Cookies" are a feature in your browser software. If enabled, we may
write cookies that may store small amounts of data on your computer
about your visit to any of the pages of this Site. Cookies assist us in
tracking which of our features appeal the most to you and what content
you may have viewed on past visits. When you visit this site again,
cookies can enable us to customize our content according to your
preferences. We may use cookies to: keep track of the number of return
visits to this site; accumulate and report aggregate, statistical
information on website usage; deliver specific content to you based on
your interests or past viewing history; save your password for ease of
access to our Site. You can disable cookies, although the Site may not
function properly for you. Your browser preferences can be modified to
accept or reject all cookies, or request a notification when a cookie
is set. You may read more about cookies at http://cookiecentral.com. In
order to use all of the features and functionality of Healthier Living
Institute's websites, you need to accept cookies.
- (b) Web Beacons.
A web beacon is a programming code that can be used to display an image
on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user
identification to a database and associate you with previously acquired
information about an individual in a database. This allows Healthier
Living Institute to track certain websites you visit. Web beacons are
used to track online behavioral habits for marketing purposes to
determine products or services you may be interested in. In addition to
using web beacons on web pages, Healthier Living Institute also uses
web beacons in email messages sent to individuals listed in Healthier
Living Institute's database.
- (c) IP Addresses.
Healthier Living Institute automatically tracks certain information
based upon your behavior on the site. We may use this information to do
internal research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior
to better understand, protect and serve you and our community. This
information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this
URL is on the site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL
is on the site or not), your computer browser information, and your IP
address. Your Internet Protocol ("IP") is a unique Internet "address"
which is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). For
local area network ("LAN"), DSL, or cable modem users, an IP address
may be permanently assigned to a particular computer. IP addresses are
automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information about a
user's traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify an
individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used to
locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address can,
however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or which
ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses,
and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.
- (d) Computer Profiles Healthier
Living Institute may also collect and accumulate other anonymous data
which will help us understand and analyze the Internet experience of
our visitors. For instance, Healthier Living Institute may accumulate
visitor data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers
used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color
capabilities, browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences,
search engine keywords and JavaScript enablement. When you provide us
with Personal Identification Information, we are able to use such
visitor data to identify you.
- (e) Data Analysis. Data Analysis technology may be employed from time to time if used by a Client of Healthier Living Institute.
- (f) New Technology.
The use of technology on the Internet, including cookies and web
beacons, is rapidly developing. As a result, Healthier Living Institute
strongly encourages individuals to revisit this policy for any updates
regarding its use of new technology.
1.6.
No
Information Collected from Children. Healthier Living Institute will
never knowingly collect any Personal Information about children under
the age of 13. If Healthier Living Institute obtains actual knowledge
that it has collected Personal Information about a child under the age
of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from its database.
Because it does not collect such information, Healthier Living
Institute has no such information to use or to disclose to third
parties.
1.7.
Credit
Card Information and Bank Account Information. Healthier Living
Institute may, in certain instances, collect credit card numbers, bank
account information and related information when an individual places
an order on Healthier Living Institute's Website. When the credit card
or bank account information is submitted to Healthier Living Institute,
such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption
software. Healthier Living Institute will use the credit card
information or bank account information for purposes of processing and
completing the transaction you requested on the Website, and the credit
card information or bank account information will be disclosed to third
parties as necessary to complete the requested purchase transaction.
2.0. Use of Personal Information.
2.1.
General
Use. Healthier Living Institute may disclose, transfer, and sell
Individual Information to entities affiliated with Healthier Living
Institute in Healthier Living Institute's discretion. The following
paragraphs describe how Healthier Living Institute currently uses
Personal Information, but Healthier Living Institute may change or
broaden its use at any time. As noted below, Healthier Living Institute
may update this policy from time to time. Healthier Living Institute
may use Personal Information to provide promotional offers to
individuals by means of email advertising, telephone marketing, direct
mail marketing, mobile marketing, online banner advertising, and
package stuffers, among other possible uses.
2.2.
Email
and Unsubscribe Policy. Healthier Living Institute uses Personal
Information to provide third party promotional offers by email to
individuals. Healthier Living Institute may maintain separate email
lists for different purposes. If email recipients wish to end their
email subscription from a particular list, they need to follow the
instructions at the end of each email message to unsubscribe from the
particular list. To unsubscribe from all Healthier Living Institute's
email lists, a person must send an email to unsubscribe@healthierlivinginstitute.com. Healthier Living Institute's
unsubscribe process impacts only the future delivery of electronic
mailings disseminated by Healthier Living Institute on its own behalf.
You may still receive electronic mailings sent on behalf of Third
Parties and your Personal Information may still be shared with Third
Parties for use in offline marketing and data appends, including email
appends unless you unsubscribe as provided above.
You
should also note that unsubscribing from Healthier Living Institute's
electronic mailings will not automatically unsubscribe your information
from any Third Party business associates and licensees of the data.
Since Third Party associates and licensee partners maintain separate
databases from Healthier Living Institute, and you will need to
unsubscribe from each source individually, if desired. This allows you
the freedom to pick and choose which subscriptions to maintain and
which to discontinue.
2.3.
Content
of Email Messages. You may receive certain commercial email messages
sent by third parties for products which may be of interest to you. In
such case, an Advertiser's name will appear in the "From:" and the

that Advertiser. Healthier Living Institute is not responsible for
third party emails sent to you.
2.4.
Solicited
Email. Healthier Living Institute only sends email to individuals who
have agreed on the Website to receive email from Healthier Living
Institute or to individuals who have agreed on a Third Party website to
receive email from Third Parties. As such, Healthier Living Institute
does not send unsolicited email messages. As a result, United States
statutes requiring certain formatting for unsolicited email are not
applicable to Healthier Living Institute's email messages.
2.5.
Targeted
Advertising. Healthier Living Institute may use Personal Information to
target advertising to an individual. When an individual is using the
Internet, Healthier Living Institute uses Technology Information to
associate an individual with that person's Personal Information, and
Healthier Living Institute attempts to show advertising for products
and services in which the person has expressed an interest in the
Surveys, indicated an interest by means of Technology Information, and
otherwise. Healthier Living Institute may, at its discretion, target
advertising by using email, direct mail, telephones, cell phones, and
other means of communication to provide promotional offers.
2.6.
Telemarketing.
Healthier Living Institute may use Personal Information to advertise,
directly or indirectly, to individuals using direct mail marketing or
telemarketing using telephones and cell phones. You may have your

on the Federal Trade Commission's Do-Not-Call List, you have authorized
us to contact you via telemarketing in accordance with the ATSR.
Moreover, by registering with, or requesting information from, a
third-party advertiser at or through the Website or other advertisement
media made available by us (e.g., email marketing), you agree that such
action shall constitute a purchase, an inquiry and/or an application
with the respective third-party advertiser for purposes of the ATSR and
you may be contacted via email, direct mail and/or telemarketing by
such third-party advertiser in accordance with the ATSR. Further, if
you are residing outside the United States, by registering and using
this Website, you acknowledge that the processing of your Personal
Information may involve the transfer of such Personal Information from
within or outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") to countries
within or outside the EEA whose data protection regulation may not be
as stringent as that within the European Union. We may use Personal
Information to provide the services you've requested, including

their practices are governed by their own policies.
You acknowledge and agree that the SMS Service is provided via
wireless systems which use radios (and other means) to transmit
communications over complex networks. We do not guarantee that your use
of the SMS Service will be private or secure, and we are not liable to
you for any lack of privacy or security you may experience. You are
fully responsible for taking precautions and providing security
measures best suited for your situation and intended use of the SMS
