Privacy Policy
RealDietSecrets.com has
established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and
manages the personal information that it collects from you (the
customer) online.
1. Consent for
Collection, Use and Disclosure
Your use of the
RealDietSecrets.com site and/or your registration for
RealDietSecrets.com products and services constitute your consent to
the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms
of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the RealDietSecrets.com
site.
RealDietSecrets.com
may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When it does,
RealDietSecrets.com will also revise the “last update” date at the
top of this Privacy Policy. In addition, RealDietSecrets.com will
seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for any new uses or
proposed disclosures of information collected from the customer
prior to the change. RealDietSecrets.com will notify customers by
email of changes to this policy that will affect information
collected from them in the future. In certain circumstances,
however, RealDietSecrets.com will not inform and obtain the consent
of the customer, such as in connection with an investigation of a
breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where
the life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the
collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law
enforcement agency or a court order.
A customer may
withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and disclosure at
any time by following the instructions at the bottom of each of our
email communications. Please note that, if you do,
RealDietSecrets.com may suspend its provision of products and
services to you. When you unsubscribe, if you fall within the
guarantee period for any RealDietSecrets.com product and you request
a refund, the guarantee will be honored.
2. Accountability
RealDietSecrets.com
collects, at the time of your registration and your sign-on to its
web site, certain “personal information” (information that
personally identifies you) including but not limited to your name,
email address, home or work address, telephone number, and
information about your computer hardware and software (e.g., IP
address, operating system, browser type, domain name, URL, access
times, and referring web site addresses).
RealDietSecrets.com
has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal information
received from its customers, and to respond to any inquiries. The
Privacy Policy also provides that RealDietSecrets.com will use
appropriate contractual means to establish a comparable level of
protection for personal information which is sent for processing by
third parties on RealDietSecrets.com’s behalf.
RealDietSecrets.com
has designated responsibility for your personal information to its
Privacy Officer, who ensures compliance with the principles in this
Privacy Policy. Other RealDietSecrets.com individuals may be
delegated to act on behalf of the Privacy Officer.

RealDietSecrets.com’s employees, independent contractors,
subsidiaries, affiliates, consultants, business associates, service
providers, suppliers and agents, acting on RealDietSecrets.com’s

RealDietSecrets.com has reason to believe that disclosure is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally
or unintentionally) with RealDietSecrets.com’s rights or property,
other users of RealDietSecrets.com’s web site, products or services,
or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; and
(d) to respond to
judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies
or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public
safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.
In addition, as we

buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with another
company. In such transactions, personal information may be one of
the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that
RealDietSecrets.com or substantially all of its assets are acquired,
your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.
Your information may

database), RealDietSecrets.com will keep your personal information
in its archives. Your information will then be used only as
necessary for tax reasons or to prove RealDietSecrets.com’s
compliance with any applicable law.

Personal Information
RealDietSecrets.com
will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal information
accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the
possibility of making inappropriate customer decisions based on such
information. Customers are responsible for informing
RealDietSecrets.com about changes to their personal information. You
can do this by following the instructions at the bottom of each
email communication we send. RealDietSecrets.com will use new or
updated personal information it receives from customers to update
its own records.
