Thank
you for visiting our Sites. We value our visitors and therefore
do not share any personal information that you provide to us
through our Sites without your express consent or as described
in this Privacy Policy.
What
Information is Collected and Stored?
In
general, you can visit our Sites without telling us who you
are or providing us with any information. However, we collect
IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of all visitors to our Sites
and other related information such as page requests, browser
type, operating system and average time spent on our Sites.
We use this information to monitor and improve our Sites.
Like
many websites, we may use “cookies,” which are
files stored on your computer’s hard drive by your browser.
Cookies help us identify users and to optimize your viewing
experience. Our Sites may also employ a technology called “tracer
tags.”
These may also be referred to as “Clear GIFs” or “Web
Beacons.” These tracer tags allow us to optimize and tailor
our Sites for you and other future visitors.
We
may collect personal information that you provide us when you
voluntarily register or participate in another feature of our
Sites, such as a newsletter; entry into a contest or sweepstakes;
response to one of our surveys; when you provide us with comments
or suggestions; or participate in any of our other current
or future marketing campaigns. Please note that any information
you submit implies consent for use of the information in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
How
is that Information Used?
After
you register or submit personal information with us, we may
occasionally send you by email information or promotional materials
on products offered by InterNatural Foods (or one of its operating
divisions), our retailers, distributors, third party brands,
or our marketing partners.
How
is that Information Shared?
We
do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties
your personally identifiable information. The term “outside
parties” does not include InterNatural Foods, any of its
current or future operating divisions, our website hosting
partners, or other parties who assist us in operating our websites.
Any release of information will only be done so long as these
non-outside parties agree to keep this information confidential.
We may also release your information when we believe a release
is appropriate to comply with law enforcement or judicial order,
or when necessary to protect ours or others’ rights,
property, or safety.
We
will not disclose personal information to third parties for
the third parties’ direct marketing purposes unless you
first affirmatively agree to that disclosure.
What
Happens When I Link to Another Website?
Our
Sites may contain links to other websites. InterNatural Foods
does not control outside Sites and is not responsible for their
content. We recommend that you check the specific privacy policy
of any site before providing any personal information.
Is
Information Collected From Children?
Our
Sites are not directed towards children. We do not knowingly
collect personal information from individuals under the age
of 14.
What
Happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
If
we change our policies, we will post any changes on the website,
so that you are always informed about what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
