PRIVACY POLICY
Mangano Publishing Corporation (“MPC”) takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.
MPC provides information on natural and alternative health and health products through its publication, Natural Health on the Web (“Natural Health”), located at the domain name <www.naturalhealthontheweb.com> (the “Website”). MPC values its users and their concerns about privacy. To this end, MPC engages in consistent information practices and uses its best efforts to make clear disclosures regarding those practices. This Privacy Policy is a part of that effort.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personally identifying user information by MPC. By using the Website, our newsletter, “Prescription-Free Natural Health Newsletter,” or the Website’s online community (collectively, the “Services”), you consent to the collection and use of information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We will clearly disclose any exceptions to the Privacy Policy prior to collecting any information from our users.
MPC may decide to modify or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post any changes or new language here.
As part of its Services, MPC provides links to websites operated by third parties. MPC is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices or the content of any such third party websites or applications. MPC urges users to familiarize themselves with the applicable terms of use and/or privacy policies provided by any such third parties.
Please be aware that advertisements on the Website are provided by third parties that may collect cookies when users click on the ads. These cookies are typically used to track the performance of the banner ads. MPC does not determine which information will be collected by those third parties; please see the paragraph below for further information.
What information is collected by third party advertisements?
Users will see third-party ads when they visit our Website and in our newsletter, “Prescription-Free Natural Health Newsletter.” Companies sponsoring these ads may use information (not including users’ names, addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers) about users’ visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to our users.
What information does MPC collect and how is it used?
MPC may collect traffic or “clickstream” data and contact information and other personally identifying information. MPC’s collection and use of each type of data is described below, as well as the ways (if any) in which the data may be shared with third parties.
Traffic or Clickstream Data. Clickstream data does not contain any personally identifying information. MPC may share clickstream data with certain selected third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form. For example, we may tell an advertiser that a certain number of people visited a certain area of our website or searched other websites for the phrase “lower blood pressure.” MPC collects some information regarding use of the Services by monitoring browser functions and files accessed by users. For example, MPC’s server collects information about the websites from which users entered our website to enable us to determine the most frequently searched terms. This helps us provide users with the most relevant search results. It also provides us with information we can use to check for fraudulent behavior or other abnormalities and to ensure that our Services are technically superior. MPC also uses clickstream data in aggregate form to improve the design and functioning of its Services.
Contact Information and Other Personally Identifying Information. MPC may obtain access to your name, e-mail address and other contact information when you subscribe to MPC’s newsletter, provide comments, submit a problem, join our online community, or provide your name or return contact information in a request for information.
How do we use your information?
We may use your information in a number of ways, including the following:
- To improve the content on the Website.
- To enhance your use of the Services. For example, we may use it to recognize you and welcome you to the Website or MPC’s newsletter.
- For marketing and promotional purposes. For example, we send out email to our members and subscribers about information and products we think may be of interest to them. We also may send you offers for discounts on certain products available through retailers we like.
Does MPC share your information?
The information gathered by MPC will not be shared with any third parties.
MPC may use third party advertising companies to serve advertisement on its behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect through their advertisements via cookies and action tags is anonymous.
Is data stored by MPC secure?
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, MPC has physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information it collects online. However, data security is a constantly evolving art and science. You should consider any communication that you transmit to MPC (such as data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential, and you agree that MPC will not be liable or responsible if information that belongs to you is intercepted and used by an unintended recipient.
How can I access or correct any personally identifying information about me?
To request a copy of the personally identifiable information you have sent to MPC, please send an e-mail containing your request to [email protected]. You must provide your full name and the e-mail address from which the request is received (and to which the response will be sent) must match the e-mail on file with MPC. You may then correct or delete such information using the procedures specified in the e-mail.
