The following describes the Privacy Policy of the Site and services owned or operated by Amber Wentworth, and Lone Star Nutrition Therapy, including lonestarnutritiontherapy.com. These terms of use do not apply to your use of unaffiliated Sites to which this Site may link to or direct you to.
YOUR PRIVACY
Your privacy is important to me at Lone Star Nutrition Therapy. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. You agree to these policies by virtue of using our website in a way that leads to you providing us with personal information.
STATE LAW & ACCOMPANYING RIGHTS
You may have additional rights originating from State laws based on where you live. These State-based rights may augment, strengthen, or otherwise somehow compliment any privacy rights you have inherently or under Federal law. Our policy is to comply fully with the privacy policies of every jurisdiction in which we operate. Accordingly, you are free to use our contact form to reach us at any time to assert any State rights.
OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Protecting the privacy of the children is especially important. For that reason, our Sites will never collect or maintain information at our Sites from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of our Sites are structured to attract anyone under 18.
Under our Terms of Service and Conditions of Use, children under 18 are not allowed to use our Sites and access our services. It is not our intention to offer products or services to minors.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
When visiting our Sites, the IP address used to access our Sites may be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information is purely used to analyze trends, administer our Sites, track users movement, and gather broad demographic information for internal use such as statistical assessments and website improvement. Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Other information may be collected as well by Lone Star Nutrition Therapy, which is typical of most websites. For instance, the source that referred you to our website is generally known. Likewise, your duration on our Sites, and your destination when you leave our website can also be tracked. Other common data collected includes the type of operating system the computer you are using to access our website. Similarly, the type of web browser is often noted. This is all common data collection, and helps ultimately produce a better end-user experience.
Cookies are another common Internet practice. Cookies are a key means of improving user experience by allows us to customize your use of our Sites. Simple information is transferred to your computer to allow the content and experience at our Sites to reflect your actions, preferences, and so on. You are free to make adjustments in your web browser to disable these or otherwise receive notification of cookies so you can take whatever desired action you so choose. Please understand that refusing cookies may affect some of our website features and render some aspects useless to you.
At times, you will be fully aware of information received, as you are the direct source providing it. For instance, you may comment on a blog post, reply to an email, provide an email address, complete a survey, etc. Likewise, purchases necessarily involve collecting certain information, such as credit card information, PayPal addresses, and your physical address for billing and/or shipping, phone number, etc. Refusing to provide some of this information may lead to us being unable to provide you with the products or services you’ve requested.
An example of limited access to our Site is where some content may be protected by a username and password. Usernames and passwords will almost always be connected with some other information related to or connected with you. This is true since much content that is protected on the Internet is subscription based, often paid for. Thus, the username and password must necessarily be tied to your other account data. Usernames and passwords, by their very nature, should be kept private.
HANDLING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Note that any personal information you provide to others apart from us or our vendors is wholly optional. As an example, you might disclose something in a blog post comment. That “private” information is now “public,” and we have no control over that. In like fashion, you sharing information with any other third party not functioning as a service provider to us puts that information beyond our control and becomes subject to the policy that party has in place.
Our primary intention for collecting personal and private information from you is simply to conduct our business. We can use this internally to better serve you. Accordingly, we see no reason to share your personal information to other parties and outside interests unless you have authorized us to do so. There are instances where your information is stored with third party service providers, such as email service providers, as they provide services that are industry-leading in quality and security and are far more beneficial to our end user than attempting such services “in-house.” However, you are never required to deal with any such third party directly, they are limited in how they use your information, and they cannot sell or transfer it to others in any way.
Your information does comprise part of an overall whole. This aggregate of information, by contrast, may be used to understand our overall user base. Further, we may share this information about our website visitors as a whole, not individually, with third parties for various purposes, in our sole discretion.
While Lone Star Nutrition Therapy is a staunch privacy advocate, there are times when even we may be forced to abandon these ideals. Illegal activity or other serious acts or allegations could create legal liability for our Site. In those cases, we reserve the right to share your information, or else may simply be compelled to do so by law. On the other hand, there may be times when we would need to share your private information in order to protect our own interests. For instance, in cases of suspected or alleged copyright infringement or other intellectual property violations, it may be necessary to share personal information.
THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING
Google, as a third party advertisement vendor, may use cookies to serve ads on our Sites. The use of cookies by Google enables them to serve adverts to visitors that are based on their visits to this website, including past visits, as well as other websites on the Internet.
Other Third Party ad servers or ad networks may also use cookies to track users activities on this website to measure advertisement effectiveness and other reasons that will be provided in their own privacy policies, our Sites have no access or control over these cookies that may be used by third party advertisers.
