Our Privacy and Security Policy
This Web site takes every precaution to protect
your information. When you submit sensitive
information via the Web site, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks you
to enter sensitive information, such as credit
card number, that information is encrypted and
is protected with the best encryption software
in the industry, 128-bit SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon
on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
you are just 'surfing'.
While we use 128-bit SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything
in our power to protect you-information off-line.
All of your information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in
our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable
information
Ordering
We request information from you on our secure
order form. Y ou must provide contact information
(such as name, email, and shipping address)
and financial information (such as credit card
number, expiration date). This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer's
orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
the information is used to contact you. This
information is only shared with other companies
who work on behalf of Dr. Jamie Fettig to provide
a product or service to you. (Unless we tell
you differently, these companies do not have
any right to use the personally identifiable
information we provide to them beyond what is
necessary to assist us.).
Third Party Advertising
We do not accept any paid advertisements. Any
services or products recommended and/or offered
in the newsletter or elsewhere on Mercola.com
have gone through extensive review before such
recommendations, and based on that review were
recommended and/or offered.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use
log files. This includes internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, internet service provider
(ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type,
date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze
trends, administer the site, track your movement
in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses,
etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Newsletter
If you who no longer wish to receive our newsletter
you may safely opt-out of receiving these communications
by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom
of every email we send.
Email-A-Friend
If a you elects to use our E-mail to a friend
service for informing someone about an article,
we launch the default email program on the your
computer. We do not know who you send the article
to and therefore we could not collect and store
that data.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy,
we will post those changes to this privacy statement
and other places we deem appropriate so you
are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If you have opted out
of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated
their account, they will not be contacted again
nor will their personal information ever be
used by us in any manner.
