At Vibrance Nutrition and Fitness, we are committed to protecting your privacy and security. This privacy policy tells you how we use personal information collected at vibrancenutrition.com or by VIBRANCE Nutrition and Fitness, LLC. Please read this privacy policy before using the Website or submitting any personal information through the Website. BY USING THE WEBSITE YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. This Privacy Policy may be changed, but any changes will be posted and changes will only apply to activities and information on a going forward, not retroactive basis. You are encouraged to review the privacy policy whenever you visit the Website to make sure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.
Note: the privacy practices set forth in this privacy policy are for the Website only. If you link to other websites, including those of Recommended Providers, Services or Products (as defined in the Terms of Use), please review the privacy policies posted at those sites.
Traffic Data
We reserve the right to gather certain generic information with respect to use of the Website, such as the number of unique visitors, the frequency with which they visit, and the areas on the Website that they favor. These statistics are similar to television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use this type of data in aggregate, meaning we look at the data as a collective group, in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. This data helps us determine the extent to which our members use certain parts of the Website, which, in turn, enables us to make it as appealing and useful to our users as possible.
We may collect and analyze traffic on the Website by keeping track of the IP addresses of our visitors. IP addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are assigned to each computer browser accessing the Internet. An IP address, by itself, cannot identify you personally. However, when combined with other information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your IP address can be used to identify the computer originating a message.
We may store all Traffic Data and review postings indefinitely, even after “deletion,” and may archive such information elsewhere. We may store all information until you request that we modify or delete it, in which case we may still retain certain information for the reasons described in this Privacy Policy or in the Terms of Use.
Cookies, Web Beacons and Analytics
We may use “cookies” on the Website. Cookies are pieces of information or data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes, and to improve the Website experience. We use cookies to make your visit to the Website easier. For example, cookies allow us to recognize you when you re-enter the Website so that you will not have to sign-in or experience the same pop-up each time you visit. Cookies also allow us to count the number of unique and return visitors who use the Website. Cookies do not allow our site to gain access to other information on your computer. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser to notify you when you’ve received a cookie or, alternatively, to refuse to accept cookies. It is important to note that you may not be able to use certain features on the Website if you choose not to accept cookies. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our members to enhance their experience on the Website.

A link to a website not subject to this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use does not constitute or imply endorsement by us. Additionally, we cannot guarantee the quality or accuracy of information presented on other parties websites. Should you decide to visit one of these third party websites, we suggest that you read its privacy policy.

However, we may share information with governmental agencies or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation. We may share your non- anonymized information as described in the Terms of Use, as well as:
- To comply with legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order;

Commitment to Data Security
Your personally identifiable information will be kept secure. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to permit only authorized employees, agents and contractors (who have agreed to keep information secure and confidential) to have access to your information, and to help safeguard personal information from unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure.
Although we make good faith efforts to store personal information in a secure operating environment that is not open to the public, you should understand that there is no such thing as complete security, and we do not guarantee that there will be no unintended disclosures of your information. If we become aware that your information has been disclosed in a manner not in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you of the nature and extent of the disclosure (to the extent we know that information) as soon as reasonably possible and as permitted by law.
Providers (as defined in the Terms of Use), their employees, and their agents should be particularly aware of their obligations of confidentiality, including any obligations which may arise under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), both in communicating with us and in responding to a review of their services as may be posted on the Website. We do not have, and will not accept, any obligations of confidentiality with respect to any communications other than those expressly stated in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use.
Mandatory Communications
Vibrance Nutrition and Fitness reserves the right to communicate with you from time to time about important administrative, policy or other matters, which will affect your use of the Website, including without limitation any alleged violations of our Terms of Use; these communications are mandatory.
Sale of Assets
In the event that VIBRANCE Nutrition and Fitness, LLC and/or its units or subsidiaries are ever sold, acquired, merged, liquidated, reorganized, or otherwise transferred, we reserve the right to transfer our user databases together with any personally identifiable information contained therein, to the party acquiring Vibrance Nutrition and Fitness’ assets. In the event we do so, we will place a notice of the sale on the homepage of the Website, with links to information as to how you can change your privacy preferences.
Please Use Common Sense in All Your Online Activities
Any information that you may reveal in a post or other online discussion or forum is intentionally open to the public and is not in private. You should think carefully before disclosing any personally identifiable information in any public forum.
Even the best policy can’t protect your online privacy and security in all circumstances. Unscrupulous advertisers, hackers, and scam artists are constantly searching the Internet looking for new targets. Your best protection is to understand the limits to privacy on the Internet and use common sense in all of your on-line activities.
Be aware that e-mail is an inherently unsecure form of communication. Remember that third-parties are sometimes able to illegally intercept your unencrypted messages.
Anytime you visit a blog or post a message to an on-line bulletin board, your e-mail address can be accessed by advertisers looking to compile lists for unsolicited commercial e-mail (“ spam”). Be sure that you only disclose your e-mail address in circumstances in which it is safe to do so.
Beware of scams in which persons unknown to you request your personal information. Make sure you verify the identity of anyone asking for personal information. Always monitor your children’s on-line activities and educate them as to the rules for safe Internet use.
Children’s privacy
Although the Website is available to general audiences, the website is not directed to children. As per the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 6501, et seq.), we do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from persons under the age of 13.
