Privacy Policy update: 29 April 2009

Your privacy is very important to us and we take the privilege of maintaining any of your contact information seriously. We want and hope to make your experience on the Internet and SecretDietPlans.com as enjoyable as possible and want you to use the services and products we offer with complete confidence.

SecretDietPlans.com strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide both an interactive and personalized experience. We may use personally identifiable information (your name, email address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We hate spam as much if not more than you do and we will never sell, barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party.

Ever.

We have developed this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to both your privacy and security. Our Privacy Policy describes how SecretDietPlans.com collects information from all the people who use our Internet services (Services). These people include but are not limited to anyone who visits our site and accesses any or all of our Services with or without having accounts with us (Visitors) as well as those who purchase products (Customers) and pay a fee to subscribe to our Services (Members).

This Privacy Policy sets out what we do with the information we collect and the choices Visitors, Customers, and Members have concerning the collection and use of this information.

We ask that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.

Your Personal Information And How We Use It
SecretDietPlans.com collects information in different ways from Visitors, Customers, and Members who access the various parts of our Services on this or related web sites. We use this information mainly to provide a personalized experience as you use our Products and Services and generally do not share this information with third parties.

Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.

Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually. We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected by SecretDietPlans.com to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; Services and Products offered by SecretDietPlans.com and other topics we think you might find of interest.

Personally Identifiable Information collected by SecretDietPlans.com may also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of eCommerce transactions, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example), may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary or in the special cases described below.

Registration
Visitors, Customers, and Members may be asked to provide certain personal information when they sign up for our Products and Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information, (such as credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. Personal information collected from Visitors, Customers, and Members during the registration process is used to manage each Visitor, Customer, and Member’s account (such as for billing purposes.) This information is not shared with third parties, except as specifically stated or in special circumstances.

In instances where SecretDietPlans.com and a partner jointly promote our Services, we may provide the partner some personal information like the name, address and user name of the persons who subscribed to the Services as a result of the joint promotion solely for the purpose of allowing us and the partner to asses the results of the promotion.

In this case, personal information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. We may also generate general non-identifying profiles from personal information our Visitors, Customers, and Members provide during registration, (for example, a total number but not the names of Visitors, Customers, and Members). As explained below, we would use this information to sell advertisements which may appear in the Services.

Partners
Some Products and Services may be offered to Visitors, Customers, and Members in conjunction with an affiliate, independent contract seller, or even a non-affiliated partner. To provide Visitors, Customers, and Members with some of these Products and Services, the partner may need to collect and maintain personal information. In such cases, you will be notified before any of your data is collected or transferred, giving you the choice of consent and allowing you to decide whether to use that particular feature or service.

Shopping
If you order Products or Services from SecretDietPlans.com, we will use the personal information you provide to process the order only. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete the order.

Advertisements
SecretDietPlans.com may display online advertisements. In such cases, we share general, non-identifying profile information about our Visitors, Customers, and Members collected during the registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with these advertisers.

In some cases, we use this general non-identifying profile information to deliver specific advertisements and for joint business ventures. As an example, an advertiser or joint business venture company tells us the audience they want to reach and provides us an advertisement tailored to that audience. Based upon the general non-identifying profile information we have collected, we may then display or send the information to the intended audience. SecretDietPlans.com does not share personal information of Visitors, Customers, and Members with these advertisers or joint venture business partners.

Responses to eMail Inquiries
When Visitors, Customers, or Members send eMail inquiries to SecretDietPlans.com, the return eMail address is used to answer the eMail inquiry we receive. SecretDietPlans.com does not use the return eMail address we receive for any other purpose and does not share the return eMail address with anyone else.

Voluntary Customer Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information which helps us to improve the types of products and services we offer and how we provide them to you for your overall benefit. Your personal information and responses remain strictly confidential, even if we contract a third party to conduct such a survey.

Participation in customer surveys is always voluntary.

We may take the information we receive from people responding to our surveys and combine it with the responses of other customers we have in order to prepare broader, general responses to the survey questions (such as age, gender, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry and other demographic information). We then use this information to improve the quality of the Services and Products we provide to you and to develop new products and services. This general non-identifying profile information may be shared with third parties.

Special Cases
It is SecretDietPlans.com’s policy not to use or share the personal information we collect about Visitors, Customers, and Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you the prior opportunity to opt out and prohibit such unrelated disclosures.

We may disclose information about Visitors, Customers, or Members, or information concerning your use of the Services and Products or Websites accessible through the use of our Services or Products for any reason, if in our sole discretion we feel it is reasonable to do so (as permitted by law where applicable); such as to law enforcement, to protect the interests of SecretDietPlans.com Visitors, Customers, and Members, or as required by law.

Please note we may or may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
