1. Pledge on Privacy The term "personal data" as used in this Policy refers to information such as your name, e-mail address or mailing address, that can be used to identify you. Energy Nutrition will not process your personal data without your consent. In processing your personal data, we pledge to fully comply with recognized standards of privacy protection. In so doing, we ensure compliance by our staff with strict standards of security and confidentiality. The next sections explain how and when we collect personal data from you. 2. Intended Use of Personal Data Most of our services do not require any form of registration, allowing you to visit our site without telling us who you are. However, some services may require registration. When you register with us, you may need to complete certain fields (some are required and some are optional). In these situations, if you choose to withhold any personal data requested by us, it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the site and for us to respond to your query. Energy Nutrition processes personal data for specific and limited purposes which we inform you about when we ask you for information. For example, we may collect and use personal data to provide you with products or services, to bill you for products and services you request, or to communicate with you for other purposes. Information you send to our customer service department is used only to help resolve your problem and is otherwise kept private. Energy Nutrition keeps your data only for as long as is reasonably needed for such purposes and in accordance with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or documentation retention requirements. 3. Non-Disclosure of Information Energy Nutrition will not sell, share, or otherwise distribute your personal data to third parties. Where disclosure of personal data to a third party is likely or necessary for whatever reason, Energy Nutrition will, wherever possible, endeavor to ensure that the disclosure and intended use of the data are clearly indicated. We will not share with third parties any data about you that is sensitive (e.g., medical information) in the absence of your prior and explicit consent. Your consent may always be revoked at a later date. 4. Right of Access You have the right to access and update your personal data or to require their deletion.

If an employee breaches our policies and procedures he/she will be disciplined accordingly. Staff compliance with our policies and procedures is regularly audited and reviewed. While we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse or alteration to data, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. 6. Anonymous Data and "Cookies" Most of the information that Energy Nutrition collects from its website(s) is anonymous information, such as the pages you visit and searches you perform. When you visit our website we do not collect any personal data from you unless otherwise authorized by you. Anonymous information is processed by Energy Nutrition to help improve the contents of the site and to compile aggregate statistics about individuals using our site for internal, market research purposes. In so doing, Energy Nutrition may install "cookies" that collect the first level domain name of the user and the date and time of access. "Cookies" by themselves cannot be used to discover the identity of the user. A "cookie" is a small piece of information which is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a "cookie", this will enable you to decide if you want to accept it or not. 7. Spamming Energy Nutrition does not condone "spamming". Spamming is defined as sending unsolicited e-mails, usually of a commercial nature, in large numbers and repeatedly to individuals with whom the sender has had no previous contact or who have declined to receive such communications. In contrast, where Energy Nutrition believes that certain product, health, or other information is of importance to you it reserves the right to inform you by e-mail whilst giving you the choice of opting out of such service. 8. Personal Information and Children Energy Nutrition will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal data from a minor under the age of 13, without obtaining prior consent from a person with parental responsibility (e.g., a parent or guardian) through direct off-line contact. We will provide the parent with (i) notice of the specific types of personal data being collected from the minor, and (ii) the opportunity to object to any further collection, use, or storage of such information. 9.

Energy Nutrition may provide links to other websites which we believe may be of interest to our visitors. We aim to ensure that such websites are of the highest standard.
