Nutrihand Privacy Policy
Overview
Nutrihand is committed to protecting the privacy of consumers
of its interactive products and services.
The purpose of this policy is to inform you,
as a welcome visitor to Nutrihand site and services, how we may
use information you enter in this site or any other information
we might gather when you visit the site, whether we disclose it
to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your
ability to correct, the information. This privacy policy applies
to the Nutrihand site and other Internet-accessible Nutrihand-branded
services like Nutrihand Instant Messenger that incorporate this
policy (although we will refer here only to Nutrihand to make reading
this policy easier). The Nutrihand Internet online service has a
separate privacy policy for its members. If you are a member of
the Nutrihand service, you can find that policy within Nutrihand's
Terms of Service (Nutrihand keyword "TOS"). Other Nutrihand
products and services may also have their own privacy policies,
which you should review when you use these services. Finally, please
note that this policy applies only to Nutrihand, and not to other
companies' or organizations' Web sites to which we link.
Information About All Nutrihand
Visitors
In general, our site automatically gathers certain usage
information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to Nutrihand
and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks
how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in
the aggregate. This aggregate data helps us determine how much our
customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure
that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as
possible. For example, Nutrihand uses a technology nicknamed "cookies"
that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by
how many people. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable
information and we do not combine information collected through
these cookies with other personally identifiable information to
tell us who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address
is. We also may provide statistical "ratings" information,
never information about you personally, to our Nutrihand partners
about how our members, collectively, use Nutrihand. We do this so
they too can understand how much people use their areas and our
site in order for them to provide you with the best possible Web
experience as well. Finally, Nutrihand, its advertisers and ad servers
may also use cookies, as well as small pieces of code called "web
beacons" or "clear gifs," to determine on an anonymous
basis which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how
users responded to them, but do not use these technologies to collect
personally identifiable information unless you give us permission
to do so.
Information About You
If you are an Nutrihand member, when you access Nutrihand
you may obtain access to features of the Nutrihand online service
that contain personal information, such as e-mail and My Portfolios.
Additionally, we may specifically ask for information about you
when you sign up to use a service, like Nutrihand Instant Messenger,
or when you order a product. We will need certain information --
such as name, Internet address or screen name, billing address,
type of computer, credit card number -- in order to provide that
service or product to you. We may also use that information to let
you know of additional products and services about
which you might be interested. You can choose
not to receive such information if you don't want to by letting
us know on the registration screen when you sign up for the product
or service. We may ask you for information about your interests
so that both you and we can take advantage of the interactivity
of the online medium, but you may always choose to respond or not.
Additionally, we may provide you with an opportunity to be listed
in a directory on one of our Nutrihand-branded services -- these
listings are also optional and you can make changes to or eliminate
this information when you want to. We also use cookie technology
in order to improve your experience, including to remember your
preferences or customized settings when you use Nutrihand and its
related services, and to authenticate your access to your personal
information.
Disclosure
We do not use or disclose information
about your individual visits to Nutrihand or information that you
may give us on Nutrihand, such as your name, address, email address
or telephone number, to any outside companies. Nutrihand may share
such information in response to legal process, such as a court order
or subpoena, or in special cases such as a physical threat to you
or others. And, as we mention above, we may share with our Web site
partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information
about the use of Nutrihand. Kids on Nutrihand Nutrihand takes special
care to protect the safety and privacy of young people using our
services, and encourages you to participate in your child's experience
in cyberspace. Nutrihand is a general audience site, and we do not
knowingly collect information about children. For parents who are

our privacy policy for Nutrihand, we will post those changes here
so that you will always know what information we gather, how we
might use that information and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
