HealthyKin.com Privacy Notice

Last updated: January 22, 2009

HealthyKin.com knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting HealthyKin.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Customers Does HealthyKin.com Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at HealthyKin.com. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses HealthyKin.com or other content served by or on behalf of HealthyKin.com on other Web sites.

E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from HealthyKin.com if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Account Preferences.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as product recommendations and storage of items in your Shopping Cart.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of HealthyKin.com's essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any HealthyKin.com products and services that require you to Sign in.

Does HealthyKin.com Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries HealthyKin.com, Inc. controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that HealthyKin.com, Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of HealthyKin.com and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Security Policy and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of HealthyKin.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure Is Information About Me?

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Which Information Can I Access?

HealthyKin.com gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with HealthyKin.com for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

What Choices Do I Have?

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such HealthyKin.com features as Your Account, Wish Lists and Customer Reviews.

You can add or update certain information on pages. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.

If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Account Preferences. (If you do not want to receive our Security Policy and other legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will still govern your use of HealthyKin.com, and it is your responsibility to review them for changes.)

Are Children Allowed to Use HealthyKin.com?

HealthyKin.com does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use HealthyKin.com only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
