1. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Your privacy is extremely important to you, to us, and the entire VitaminsAndSuplements.com community. We encourage you to read our Privacy Policy for a fully transparent look at how we collect, use, communicate, disclose, and otherwise make use of personal information.

1.1 INFORMATION YOU GIVE US

This is information about you that you give us directly when you interact with us.

* Signing Up for Content Delivered via Email: When you sign up for a report or other content delivered by email, we will ask for your email address. We may also ask for your name as well as capturing your IP address.

* Other Services: We may also ask for additional information when providing special, personalized services. If you don’t want to provide the information requested, you certainly don’t have to, but you will not be able to take advantage of such offerings. For example, if we launch a text alert feature, we wouldn’t be able to send you any alerts unless you provide us with your mobile number. On occasion, we may also ask you for other personal information in connection with surveys or other promotional offers running on our site but again, your participation in these features is purely voluntary.

1.2 INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU FROM USING OUR SITE:

* While on our site, we automatically log certain information about how you’re using our site. This information may include the URL that you just came from, your IP address (or a partially anonymised IP address) and the pages you visit while on our site.

* We may place a pixel on pages on our site, or those of our advertisers and partners. This enables us to record in our server logs that a specific user ID has visited a particular page. This data allows us to analyse and determine our audience’s behavioural characteristics, which helps us to optimise our site, advertisement placement, and marketing focus.

1.3 INFORMATION WE RECEIVE FROM OTHER SOURCES:

We allow our partners to collect certain information when you visit our site. They may utilize cookies, pixels, beacons, or other technologies to collect and use information about you during your visit to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements they feel you would like.
