Privacy Policy

This is the privacy notice from HealthyLine Inc. In this document, “we”, “our”, or “us” refers to HealthyLine.com

  • This is a notice to inform you of our policy about all of the private information we record about you. It outlines the conditions under which we may process any information we collect from you or that you provide us with. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that may not. In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use, or otherwise act on the information.

  • The protection of your privacy and confidentiality are important to us. We understand that all visitors to our website are entitled to know that their personal data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them and will not accidentally fall into the hands of any third party.

  • We undertake the responsibility to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us and hope that you will reciprocate.

  • Our policy complies with US and UK law accordingly, including that required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  • The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regards to the processing and control of your personal data. We do this now by requesting that you read the information provided at knowyourprivacyrights.org

  • Except for explicit cases outlined below, we do not share, sell, or disclose any information collected through our website to a third party.

  • The following terms are non-negotiable.

The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each category. If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant, we shall immediately stop processing your data. If the basis changes and a law requires it, we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have decided to proceed with processing your information.

When you create an account on our website, buy a product or service from us, and/or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us. In order to carry out our obligations under that contract, we must process the information you give us. Some of this information may be personal in nature. We may use it in order to:

  • verify your identity for security purposes
  • sell products to you
  • provide you with our services
  • provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services, or how to better use our website

We process this information on the basis that there is a contract between us, or that you have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract. Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information. For example, we may use it to monitor our performance with respect to a particular service we provide. If we use it for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable. We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

Through certain actions, when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us (such as browsing our website or asking for more information about our business, products, and services) you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal. Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies. Sometimes you might give your consent implicitly, such as when you send us an email to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.

In all instances except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example, to monitor the performance of a particular page on our website. If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may, from time to time, pass your name and contact information to selected associates whom we think may provide services or products you would find useful. We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent, or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists. You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at support@HealthyLine.com. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.

We may process information on the basis that there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us. When we process your information, we do so after having given careful consideration to:

  • whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
  • whether processing (or not processing) your data might cause you harm
  • whether you would expect us to process your data, and whether you would consider it reasonable to do so

For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

  • record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our business
  • responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response
  • protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party
  • insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage business risk
  • protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so

We are subject to the law like everyone else. Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory obligation. For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorization such as a search warrant or court order.

This may include your personal information. We partner with Rakuten Marketing, who may collect personal information when you interact with our site. The collection and use of this information is subject to the privacy policy located here:

https://rakutenmarketing.com/legal-notices/services-privacy-policy/

https://rakutenmarketing.com/legal-notices/subject-requests/

Our website allows you to post information with a view to that information being read, copied, downloaded, or used by other people. Examples include:

  • posting a message on our forums
  • tagging an image
  • clicking on an icon next to another visitor’s message to convey your agreement, disagreement, or thanks

In posting personal information, it is up to you to satisfy yourself about the privacy level of every person who might use it. We do not specifically use this information except to allow it to be displayed or shared. We do store it, and we reserve the right to use it in the future in any way we decide.

Once your information enters the public domain, we have no control over what any individual third party may do with it. We accept no responsibility for their actions at any time. Provided your request is reasonable and there is no legal basis for us to retain it, then at our discretion, we may agree to your request to delete personal information that you have posted. You can make a request by contacting us at support@HealthyLine.com.

 

Our website is a publishing medium. Anyone may register and then publish information about himself, herself, or any other person. We attempt to moderate user generated content, but we are not always able to do so as soon as that content is published.

If you complain about any of the content on our website, we shall investigate your complaint.

If we feel it is justified or if we believe the law requires us to do so, we shall remove the content while we investigate.

Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be obstructed: yours or that of the person who posted the content that offends you.

If we think your complaint is frivolous or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.

 

Payment information is never taken by us or transferred to us either through our website or otherwise. Our employees and contractors never have access to it.

At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of PayPal or Amazon. That page may be branded to look like a page on our website, but it is not controlled by us.

When you agree to set up a direct debit arrangement, the information you give to us is passed to our own bank Bank of America for processing according to our instructions. We do not keep a copy.

We are registered under the direct debit guarantee scheme. This allows for the customer’s bank to refund disputed payments without question, pending further investigation. Direct debits can only be set up for payments to beneficiaries that are approved originators of direct debits. In order to be approved, these beneficiaries are subjected to careful vetting procedures. Once approved, they are required to give indemnity guarantees through their banks.

If you send us information in connection with a job application, we may keep it for up to three years in case we decide to contact you at a later date.

If we employ you, we collect information about you and your work from time to time throughout the period of your employment. This information will be used only for purposes directly relevant to your employment. After your employment has ended, we will keep your file for six years before destroying or deleting it.

When you contact us, whether by telephone, through our website, or by e-mail, we collect the data you have given to us in order to reply with the information you need.

We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business.

We keep personally identifiable information associated with your messages, such as your name and email address so as to be able to track our communications with you to provide a higher quality service.

When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us. We use that information to resolve your complaint.

If your complaint requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give that other person some of the information contained within your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter entirely up to our discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is.

We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.

This is information given to us by you in your capacity as an affiliate of ours or as a business partner. It allows us to recognize visitors that you have referred to us, and to credit your commissions earned for such referrals. It also includes information that allows us to transfer commission to you.

The information is not used for any other purpose. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. We expect any affiliate or partner to agree to reciprocate this policy.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: California Online Privacy Protection Act

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email
• Within 7 business days

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
