2. Disclosure of Collected Information & Information Provided by You.

Information from the Site. We will not disclose to non-affiliated third parties without your prior approval, your e-mail address, phone number, or other personal information, that we collect via the Site. We will, however, cooperate with official law enforcement inquiries, such as fraud investigations and subpoenas, and will disclose your information when necessary to comply with state and federal laws and regulations.

Other Members of the Site. We will never disclose your e-mail address, phone number, or other personal information to any other member of our Site. The Company cannot be held responsible if you share your e-mail address, phone number, or other personal information to other members of our Site or to any third parties.

Disclaimer. We cannot ensure that all your private communications and other personal information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmission or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the Site. College Bound Nutrition does not transfer personal information internationally.

Retention of Information. We generally keep collected information and information provided by you on our server or in our archives for as long as we reasonably need it. Unless we are legally required to retain certain collected information, we may from time to time delete some of the information in accordance with our Company’s data retention policy. In addition, information posted in a public forum on our Site or on our Site’s blog could potentially remain in the public domain indefinitely.

3. Security.

We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is reasonably protected when it is submitted to us and using adequate measures to protect such information collected from our Site.

Our Site uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to minimize the chances that your personal information can be read as it passes over the Internet. SSL deters others from seeing your personal information by scrambling it so that only your web browser and our server, can decipher it. Personal information collected by the Site is stored at a professionally managed secure commercial location. These measures make it unlikely that your personal information including any credit card information will be compromised online. However, in the event of an unauthorized use of your credit card, notify your credit card provider or issuing bank in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.

How do I know my data is safe? There are two ways to check a website is encrypting your personal and credit card data as it passes over the Internet. The first is you will notice that the URL address in the address bar of your web browser says https:// in the checkout pages, instead of http:// like it normally does. This “s” signifies that you are passing through a SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to the web server. Secondly, you should see a small padlock icon in the bottom bar of your web browser. You can double click on this icon to see additional information about the encryption features.

4. Enforcement.

If for some reason you believe we have not adhered to the principles of this Privacy Policy, please contact us and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly.
