this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different
from what is disclosed in this statement.
Registration
Registration on this site is not necessary but will assist you in filling in information
on our order form when placing orders. In order to use the shopping cart on this
site, a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email
address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our
site for which they have expressed interest and to complete their order.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like
credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes
and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this
contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply
terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have
to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a
user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this
is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. Cookies can also enable
us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
site. Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not
linked to personally identifiable information.
Link
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, eSourceNutrition.comare not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will
be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used
for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry
- SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in
our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected
screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their
password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any
time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’
information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
