This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to your use of the www.yourlifevitamins.com website (this “Website”), which is operated by Leiner Health Products, LLC (“Leiner”, “us”, “our” or “we”). We take your right to privacy seriously and want you to feel comfortable using our web site. We want you to understand what kinds of information we gather from you, how collected information is used and protected, and how you can control its use. Except in the limited circumstances set forth herein, we do not have a practice of sharing any of your personal information with any third parties. While this Privacy Policy applies to the collection and use of information by us through this Website, it does not apply to information that you may send to us by other means.
By using this Website, you agree, without limitation or qualification, to be
bound by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Please take time to read our Terms of Use.
1. Information We Collect.
The kinds of information we
collect from you will vary, depending on how you use our Website. It is possible
to browse our Website without submitting any personally identifiable information
at all. However, our optional registration process requires you to provide a
valid e-mail address, a unique password, your first name, last name, and zip
code, (“Registration Information”). Other voluntary submissions you make on this
Website, including if you e-mail a question as part of our “Ask the Pharmacist”
section or “Ask the Village Community” section, may contain additional
information about you, including but not limited to your mailing address, phone
number, age, gender, occupation, or shopping habits (such information, together
with the Registration Information, “Personally Identifiable Information”).
If you chose to complete the ODI Questionnaire in order to receive customized
nutrient and lifestyle recommendation reports (“Recommendation Reports”), we
will also collect personal and family health information related to: (i) your
health, (ii) the health of your family members, (iii) your work environment, and
(iv) your lifestyle and diet (altogether, “Personal Health Information” and
together with Personally Identifiable Information, “Personal Information”).
Like many websites, we also collect certain information automatically, such
as general information contained in our server log files, your IP address,
aggregate data relating to use of this Website and/or any tools, content or
services thereon, “cookie” information (for more information on Cookies and IP
Addresses, see Section 4 below) and information about how advertising may be
presented on this Website (for more information, see Section 5 below).
2. Use and Disclosure of Your Personal Information.
We may use your Personal Information to: (i) provide you with a customized user experience; (ii) provide you with products or services you have requested including Recommendations Reports; (iii) respond to any questions or requests you make; and/or (iv) if you choose to “opt-in”, send you various customized newsletters and marketing and promotional materials from us and our affiliates.
Your Personal Information will not be disclosed to any third parties (i.e. parties that are not considered our affiliates) except under the limited circumstances set forth in this paragraph. Personal Information such as your Registration Information will only be disclosed: (i) to our affiliates; (ii) to our successors-in-interest, if this Website and/or Leiner Health Products, LLC, its subsidiaries, joint ventures, affiliates, or any combination of such, merge with, acquire, or are acquired by another business entity, in which event that business entity will be able to use your Personal Information, including your Personal Health Information, in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy; or (ii) to our third party contractors solely in order to perform functions on our behalf, in which case such agents, subsidiaries, affiliates or joint venturers shall have agreed to maintain the confidentiality and security of the Personal Information that they receive from us.
In addition, from time to time, we may be required by law enforcement or
judicial authorities to provide Personal Information to the appropriate
governmental authorities. We will disclose Personal Information upon receipt of
a court order or subpoena or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.
We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use
our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law
enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be
unlawful. Moreover, we may release account information and Personal Information
when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply
our Terms of Use or to protect the rights, property and safety of our users, others and
ourselves.
3. Surveys and Contests.
You may occasionally see
contests, surveys and other features on this Website that ask you to provide us
with Personal Information. When you choose to respond to these requests, the
Personal Information that you offer may be used for several reasons. These
include the uses set out in this Privacy Policy. They also include providing
Personal Information to third parties for prize fulfillment and other aspects of
our contest or similar offering or for other uses related to providing you with
information that we hope will be of interest to you.
4. Cookies, IP Address and Web Beacons.
Like many
websites, we set and use “cookies” to enhance your user experience. “Cookies”
are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your
computer's hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning to your computer a
unique number that has no meaning outside of this Website. We use cookies to
provide features such as retaining your personal settings. We may also use
cookies to assist us in delivering content specific to your interests, such as
informing you of certain third party offerings. Also, companies offering
products or services through this Website may use their own cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your
browser to prevent this. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of this
Website unavailable to you.
You can visit many areas of this Website anonymously. Even in such cases, we
may collect IP addresses automatically. An IP address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer whenever you begin service with an
Internet Service Provider. Each time you access this Website and each time you
request one of our pages, our server logs your IP address. Standing alone, your
IP address is not necessarily personally identifiable. We may use your IP
address to administer this Website, to assist in diagnosing problems with our
server, to monitor our system performance and/or to make it easier and more
convenient for you to navigate and use this Website.
From time to time we contract with third party companies to help us better provide relevant products, services and information to you and to help us effectively measure advertising effectiveness. Some of these companies use cookies and/or web beacons (also known as action tags or single pixel gifs). A web beacon is a transparent image that has been placed on a web page and sends a signal when a user has visited that page. A web beacon does not contain any Personal information and no Personal Information is transmitted to the third party using the web beacon. The third party is required to protect the privacy of the information it receives using web beacons or cookies and is not allowed to use the information it receives for any purpose beyond what is necessary to assist us. In addition, we may use web beacons in connection with the e-mails we send to our customers, to determine whether and when the images in our e-mail were rendered (which allows us to determine whether the e-mail was opened). This information may then be aggregated and used to assess the effectiveness of our e-mail communications.
5. Advertisements and E-Mail Marketing.
Advertisements
may appear on this Website and, if so, may set and access cookies on your
computer and are subject to the privacy policy of those parties providing the
advertisement. However, the companies providing the advertising do not have
access to the cookies set by this Website. These advertisers usually use
non-personally identifiable or anonymous codes to obtain information about your
visit to this Website. We may use a third party agent to handle our e-mail
marketing.
6. Children.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
imposes certain requirements on websites directed toward children under 13 that
collect information on those children, or on websites that know they are
collecting Personal Information from children under the age of 13. This Website
is a general audience website that is not specifically designed or targeted at
children. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disseminate any Personal
Information from persons under the age of thirteen (13) and we do not knowingly
allow persons under the age of thirteen (13) to register with this Website. If
we learn that we have inadvertently gathered Personal Information from children
under 13, we shall attempt to notify such child’s parent or guardian and erase
such information from our records, unless the child’s parent or guardian
consents to our maintaining such information. For more information, please
contact our webmaster.
7. Editing Your Personal Information and Preferences.
We
provide you with the ability to edit your Registration Information, or to remove
yourself from our e-mail newsletter, marketing and promotions distribution list,
using the Update Profile area. You may request cancellation of your user account
by contacting our webmaster. Content or other data you may have provided to us,
including data contained within our user account, posts that may appear within
our forums, and answers to survey questions, may continue to remain on this
Website at our discretion even though your account has been canceled. Please see
our Terms of Use for more information.
8. Protecting Yourself.
You can learn more about Internet
privacy from government websites such as www.ftc.gov/privacy/.
9. Security.
We have put reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures into place in order to help safeguard and prevent unauthorized access, use and/or disclosure or your Personal Information. Although we use reasonable efforts to safeguard the security of your Personal Information, transmissions made on or through the Internet and Personal Information stored on our servers are vulnerable to attack and cannot be guaranteed to be secure. In addition, submissions made via e-mail are not protected by encryption and are vulnerable to interception during transmission.
10. Changes to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy
is effective with respect to any Personal Information collected on or after the
effective date first set forth above. We reserve the right to modify or
supplement this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes and
the effective date of the change on this page. Your continued usage of this
Website will mean you accept those changes. As such, please link back to this
Privacy Policy regularly when using our Website.

Website from one of our partner’s websites which may or may not have been framed
around this Website. This Website also contain links to third party websites.
