In order to provide you with products of interest to you and to continually improve your shopping experience on MYBODYTLC.com, we collect information about our Customers in a variety of ways. In some cases, MYBODYTLC.com asks Customers directly for information in order for them to purchase products or use our services, and, in other cases, information is collected automatically as Customers are using the MYBODYTLC.com Web site. You may choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to purchase products or take advantage of the features we offer. MYBODYTLC.com is the sole owner of information collected on the MYBODYTLC.com Web site. The following is a summary of the kinds of information MYBODYTLC.com collects:

1. Active Collection.

MYBODYTLC.com collects certain information either voluntarily or as required in order to register with MYBODYTLC.com or use certain MYBODYTLC.com services or features. This type of information includes:

Order form. Contact information, such as name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number.

Demographic information such as zip code.

We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily. In addition, we may acquire customer names, e-mail addresses and mailing addresses for select mailings from third parties.

2. Passive Collection

Some information is collected automatically while you are using the MYBODYTLC.com Web site. It is important to note that MYBODYTLC.com must store this information in order to ensure its Customers receive optimal service while using MYBODYTLC.com services. This type of information includes:

a. Log Files: Log files information, such as IP addresses, browser type, domain names, number of page views, login frequency, page or section accesses. Log files are used to track member usage and engagement and to gauge the effectiveness of our different services. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the MYBODYTLC.com Web site.

b. Cookies: MYBODYTLC.com uses cookies, which are electronic pieces of information stored on your computer, to allow us to recognize you when you return to our site and to provide you with customized services and information. Although we do not store personal information in cookies, we do tie cookies to customer member ID, which is then used to pull personal information out of the database for identification purposes. Cookies are not used to access information entered on the secure server. This information can be accessed only when you enter your name and password. If Customers reject a cookie placed by MYBODYTLC.com, they will not be able to use the MYBODYTLC.com service (e.g., purchase products or establish a Customer Account) other than view the MYBODYTLC.com Web site. For example, upon login to a Customer Account requiring a Customer password, a cookie is set in the browser that links MYBODYTLC.com software to the proper user’s login session. If this cookie is disabled, that aspect of the site will not work.

MYBODYTLC.com also uses Third Parties to provide services to you on behalf of MYBODYTLC.com, and in doing so they must set cookies on the site. For example, when you use the Live Chat customer service function on our site, The Third Party who allows us to bring this service to you sets a cookie so we can tell what pages of the site you have accessed in order to better respond to your question. If you reject this cookie, you cannot use Live Chat. Also, we use a Third Party to provide web analytic services which allows MYBODYTLC.com to track website usage statistics and checkout information. Such Third Party Cookies are used to:

Store session state information
Authenticate Customers
Help customize content delivery
Provide context-sensitive help
Protect Web site security and login time-outs

For information on how to have your browser disable cookies or provide a warning before accepting a cookie, please refer to the cookie options in your browser’s Options or Preferences menu.

c. Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs). We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that helps us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. The main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are tied to Customers’ personally identifiable information. We use clear gifs in our HTML-based e-mails to let us know which e-mails the recipients have opened. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

Also, clear gifs, which may be set by a third party, are used on pages to track sales, which may result from our Internet advertising campaigns and banner advertisements appearing on other web sites. In order to track the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, aggregate data pertaining to the dollar amount spent, items purchased, and campaign the customer responded to, is sent to third party servers for the purpose of tracking which sales resulted from specific advertising campaigns and to track conversion sales coming from banner advertisements. No individually identifiable data is sent to third party servers, only data that reflects that a sale occurred. If Customers would like to opt-out of these e-mails, they should see the Opt-out section.

C. HOW DOES MYBODYTLC.com USE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED?

MYBODYTLC.com endeavors to strictly adhere to state, local and federal laws regarding the preservation and archiving of information collected. In addition to the uses described elsewhere in this Privacy Statement, MYBODYTLC.com may use the information you provide in the following ways:

To contact you about our products and services or about your use of our Web site. For example, Customers will receive a welcome e-mail, e-mail newsletters, and customized content, and they may receive an update when MYBODYTLC.com has new product features or enhancements or other news to relay to our Customers.

We do not grant general access to data within MYBODYTLC.com and, except as set forth in this Privacy Statement, access to data is not granted to parties outside MYBODYTLC.com. We also verify the identity of the persons accessing the data by using a login name and password. Passwords are required to be six characters and include a non-alphabetic character. In addition, login session times-out after a period of time to prevent unauthorized use.

2. Authorization and Access Control

Only authorized personnel have access to restricted data.

Nondisclosure Agreements are in place with contractors and third parties having access to sensitive data.

3. Data Confidentiality

MYBODYTLC.com uses 128-bit encryption and a security firewall to protect the confidentiality of customer information.

4. Data Integrity and Retention

We implement full database backups by our certified Database Administrator to establish data consistency and integrity. We also grant Customers access to their information in order to verify that the data is still accurate and has not been modified or corrupted.

Data are stored on our secure server and backed up to tape. Such data are stored to the extent required by state, federal and local laws. Our Web servers are located in a secure and environmentally controlled room/location. Backups are automated and scheduled using industry-standard net backup software and backup tapes are continuously stored in a secure location off-site.

5. Data Management and Monitoring

All employees of MYBODYTLC.com are informed of the company’s security policies. MYBODYTLC.com’s new hires are briefed on security and privacy issues and the security policies are also covered in the employee manual. MYBODYTLC.com departments review security measures at regular department meetings.

Security and privacy threats, operational and technical vulnerabilities have been assessed and countermeasures have been taken to reduce these vulnerabilities. New threats are consistently evaluated and measures are taken to prevent them from occurring at MYBODYTLC.com. In addition, a security firewall screens access events and non-valid attempts are denied and logged.
