This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information collected through services such as websites, mobile sites, applications (“apps”), and widgets (collectively, the “ Alternative Health Nation Services”). By using Alternative Health Nation and Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
As set forth in our Terms of Use, the Alternative Health Nation Services are for a general audience, are not targeted to children, and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.
Collection of Information
Alternative Health Nation and our service providers collect the following information from and about you:
Registration Information is the information you submit to register for a Alternative Health Nation Service, for example, to create an account, post comments, receive a newsletter, or enter a contest or sweepstakes. Registration Information may include, for example, name, email address, gender, zip code and birthday.
Public Information and Posts consist of comments or content that you post to the Alternative Health Nation Services and the information about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include a name, user name, comments, likes, status, profile information and picture. Public Information and Posts are always public, which means they are available to everyone and may be displayed in search results on external search engines.
Information from Social Media. If you access or log-in to a Alternative Health Nation Service through a social media service or connect a Alternative Health Nation Service to a social media service, the information we collect may also include your user ID and/or user name associated with that social media service, any information or content you have permitted the social media service to share with us, such as your profile picture, email address or friends lists, and any information you have made public in connection with that social media service. When you access the Alternative Health Nation Services through social media services or when you connect a Alternative Health Nation to social media services, you are authorizing Alternative Health Nation to collect, store, and use such information and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Activity Information. When you access and interact with the Alternative Health Nation, Alternative Health Nation and its service providers may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to the Alternative Health Nation Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device, and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. If you access the Alternative Health Nation Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geolocation data (including your precise location), or other transactional information for that device.
Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and Adobe Flash technology including cookies) are comprised of small bits of data. Alternative Health Nation’ websites, apps and other services send this data to your browser when you first request a web page and then store the data on your computer or other device so the website or app can access information when you make subsequent requests for pages from that service. These technologies may also be used to collect and store information about your usage of the Alternative Health Nation Services, such as pages you have visited, the video and other content you have viewed, search queries you have run and advertisements you have seen.
Third parties that support the Alternative Health Nation Services by serving advertisements or providing services, such as allowing you to share content or tracking aggregate Alternative Health Nation Services usage statistics, may also use these technologies to collect similar information when you use the Alternative Health Nation Services or third-party services. These third parties may also use these technologies, along with Activity Information they collect, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile device and a laptop or other computer. Alternative Health Nation does not control these third-party technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of third parties using such technologies. For more information about third-party advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, including your choices with respect to them, see the section entitled “To deliver relevant advertisements,” below.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information. Users can manage the use of Flash technologies, with the Flash management tools available at Adobe’s website, see //www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html.

Information from Other Sources. We may supplement the information we collect with information from other sources, such as publicly available information from social media services, commercially available sources and information from our Company Affiliates or business partners.
Do Not Track Signals. At this time we do not respond to browser ‘Do Not Track’ signals, as we await the work of interested stakeholders and others to develop standards for how such signals should be interpreted.

User Access and Control
If you would like to access, review, correct, update, suppress, or otherwise limit our use of your personal information you have previously provided directly to us, you may contact us as outlined in Section 7. In your request, please include your email address, name, address, and telephone number and specify clearly what information you would like to access, change, update, or suppress. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
We give you many choices regarding our use and disclosure of your personal information for marketing purposes. You may opt-out from:

- Cancelling your request for information. To cancel your request for information, email support@alternativehealthnation.com, subject, “Remove My Email Address” and include the email address that you registered your request with (if different from the email address you’re sending the email from). Remember that even after you cancel your account, copies of some information from your account may remain viewable in some circumstances – where, for example, you have shared information with a third-party application or web site. We may also retain backup information related to your account on our servers for some time after cancelation for fraud detection or to comply with applicable law or our internal security policies. Because of the nature of caching technology, your account may not be instantly inaccessible to others, and there may be a delay in the removal of the content from elsewhere on the Internet and from search engines.

If you are a user located outside the United States, you understand and consent to having any personal information processed in the United States.
