safe guard the information we collect from unauthorized use. The following
is a detailed explanation of the privacy policy for "insert the hereinafter
name above".
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Women Living Naturally believes it is important for you to know what types
of information we collect when you use our site. We employ various methods
for collecting information. To begin with, we use "cookies"
that are needed to compile aggregate non-personally identifiable information
about the visitors to our web site. Personally identifiable information
consists of information that is unique to you, such as credit card numbers,
bank accounts, social security numbers, home address, email address and
the like. This is the type of information that most people consider private
and deem the most important to protect from unauthorized access. Non-personally
identifiable information most often consists of things such as your search
preferences, the types of products you have bought, how many times you
have visited a particular web site, etc. This type of information is usually
associated with a particular computer or IP address but not with a particular
person. "Cookies" are pieces of information generated by a Web
server and stored in the user's computer, ready for future access. Each
time you access our web site; our server finds the relevant cookie on
your computer. The information contained within that cookie is then used
to customize your experience with our site. The following is a list of
the information we collect: (insert all information you collect, names,
numbers, social security, email, etc.)
WHY DO WE COLLECT THIS INFORMATION?
We use this information in order to serve the needs of our customers.
We need to know who you are in order to verify the credit card information
you have sent us. We collect several pieces of personal information from
you in order to complete this verification process. The non-personal information
that we collect from you is used in order to offer you better service
and to make your experience with our site more enjoyable. Any information
that we may inadvertently collect from you, that does not serve one of
these reasons stated above, is immediately purged from our system.
HOW IS YOUR INFORMATION PROTECTED?
We use the latest in encryption technology, including 128 bit SSL encryption
to ensure that any sensitive information that is sent by you to us via
the Internet is protected from unauthorized interception. We employ the
latest in firewall protection to prevent unauthorized access into our
information storage areas. We maintain a rigorous hiring process to screen
out potential employees with criminal backgrounds. All employees that
we do hire have to sign a confidentiality agreement that forbids them
from disclosing any information to which the employee has access, to other
individuals or entities. We also have back up servers and power supplies
to guard against power outages and other natural occurrences that could
pose a threat to the integrity of your personal information. Passwords
are required in order for you to gain access to your account. Once an
account has been terminated, measures are taken to remove those users
from the system who no longer need access to our system. When an employee
is terminated or is no longer with the company, we change the access codes
that the employee used to access any customer accounts. Account login
sessions are terminated after three failed login attempts; all terminated
login sessions are logged for follow-up. Passwords must contain at least
six characters, one of which is nonalphanumeric. Passwords are case sensitive
and must be updated every 90 days. Unused customer accounts, those that
have shown no activity for 6 months are purged from our system.
WHO HAS ACCESS TO MY INFORMATION?
Only those employees that are responsible for handling your account have
access to your information. Additionally, employees in our technical department
may have access to your information in order to conduct routine checks
on the integrity of our system and in order to perform necessary maintenance
work. In order to process your credit card we have to consult with an
out side credit card processing company. These processing companies are
regulated by the banking industry and must meet certain security requirements
in order to be in business. The processing companies will have access
to your credit card information, billing address, name, and possibly your
telephone number. The processing company will communicate with the issuing
bank of your credit card in order to get final approval to charge your
credit card for the product or services we are providing for you. Should
you choose to receive additional information regarding one of our services
or products, we may pass your email address to one of our partners who
offers similar products or services that you might be interested in. Additionally,
judicial requests by a duly authorized court will require us to divulge
certain information regarding your account should that situation arise.
Finally, should our company ever be bought or sold, your account information
would then become the property of the new owner/entity.
CAN I CORRECT OR REMOVE INFORMATION FROM YOUR SITE?

we have collected from you is indeed correct. You also have the option
of removing any information from your account that you wish to keep private.
However, please note that removing certain information such as your email
address, contact information, and the like may greatly hinder our ability
to effectively provide the service or products you have requested. We
recommend, that you contact us first to discuss which information you
may remove without interrupting the quality of service we intend to provide
for you.
CAN I OPT OUT OF HAVING CERTAIN INFORMATION COLLECTED?

or transmit cookies. This will prevent us from gathering certain non-personally
identifiable information from you. You also have the option of removing
yourself from any email distribution list that you may have signed up
