HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We implement a variety of security procedures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or access your personal information.  We offer the use of a secure server.  All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems and who are required to keep and maintain the information confidential.  After a transaction, your personal private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will not be kept on file for more than 60 days. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

In addition, we conduct periodic and regular scans of our Site to detect security holes and known vulnerabilities. This includes the use of regular Malware Scanning.

WHAT ABOUT ‘COOKIES’? DO WE USE THEM?

Yes. I use cookies.

Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow). This enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.

For instance, we will use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

So to summarize, we will use cookies to:

  • Help us to remember and process the items in your shopping cart.
  • Understand and save your preferences for future visits.
  • Help us provide better consulting services to you or other clients now and in the future.
  • Keep track of advertisements.
  • Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT COOKIES?

You can turn cookies off if you choose, or you can set your web browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent. You do this through your browser settings. Since each web browser is a little different, you will need to review your browser’s Help Menu to learn the correct way to modify or turn off your cookies.

Be aware that if you turn cookies off, some features of my Site may be disabled. This in turn may affect your experience in that your site experience will not be as efficient and the site may not function properly.

However, you will still be able to place orders should you choose.

DISCLOSURES TO THIRD PARTIES

Healthy Human Race does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

We may use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Healthy Human Race and our affiliates. If you opt into our email list, we may also send you surveys to conduct research regarding your opinions of current services or potential new services and products that we may offer.

We may share my data with trusted partners and vendors to help perform statistical analysis, send email, postal mail, or text messages, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Healthy Human Race, and they are required to keep all of your personal and sensitive information confidential.

We will not disclose any of your personal information unless required to do so by law. In that event, you will not receive any notice of such a disclosure, and we will only make such a disclosure if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to: 1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Healthy Human Race or the site; 2) protect and defend the rights and property of Healthy Human Race; and, 3) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Healthy Human Race or the public at large.

We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of our external business partners regarding a particular offering that may be of interest to you. When we do so, your unique personally identifiable information (such as email, name, address or phone number) is never transferred to the third party.

THIRD PARTY (AFFILIATE) LINKS

CALIFORNIA ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
