NUTRISTYLE
PRIVACY POLICY
At NutriStyle, we are committed to providing you with the
highest quality nutritional information in an environment of
privacy and security. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”)
will tell you what information is collected about you at our
website and how we protect that information. It will also
explain what choices you have about how your information is
used. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully so that you
understand how your information is collected, protected and
used. By using the NutriStyle site, you agree to the terms of
this Privacy Policy.
NutriStyle may provide public forums such as chat rooms,
online discussions or bulletin boards for its members’ use.
Please be advised that any information that you disclose in
such locations is not protected by this Privacy Policy. Also,
if you access a third party site from a link on NutriStyle,
any information you disclose at that third party site is not
protected by this Privacy Policy.
INFORMATION COLLECTED ABOUT YOU
Registration. Certain information is required as part of the
registration process, including name, email address and date
of birth. This is called personally identifiable information
(“PII”). When you visit our site, NutriStyle collects only
that PII that you provide to us. When PII is combined with
information on your health or medical status, it is referred
to as “personal health information.”
Cookies. As part of offering its service, NutriStyle uses
“cookies.” A cookie is a small amount of information passed
between a web site and the web browser on your computer. A
cookie helps your browser remember specific information that
the web server can later retrieve. NutriStyle uses cookies to
store session information when you log in.
CHILDREN
NutriStyle is committed to protecting the privacy of children.
This website is not designed nor intended to attract children
under the age of 13. We do not collect any personal
information from any person we actually know is under the age
of 13. If a dietitian determines that a child under the age of
13 can benefit from the NutriStyle service, the parent or
guardian of such child will be responsible for creating and
maintaining the child’s Patient Profile.
HOW DOES NUTRISTYLE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
NutriStyle enables your dietitian to create your “Patient
Profile” and a personal diet based on your health requirements
and food preferences. Your dietitian will be able to track the
number of times you have accessed the NutriStyle site. Your
dietitian will also be able to view any changes you make to
your food choices, meal components and activity levels.
NutriStyle
may provide to third parties non-personal information about
you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted and
that is combined with the non-personal information of others
(“aggregated information”). For example, NutriStyle might
inform a third party about the percentage of its users that
engages in regular exercise or that are vegetarians.
NutriStyle may charge third parties for such information.
NutriStyle does not restrict third parties’ use of aggregated
information, except that it requires third parties to agree
that they will not attempt to identify individuals within the
aggregated information by combining it with other information.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as specifically
agreed to by you, NutriStyle will not disclose any personal
information it gathers from you on our website. In certain
circumstances, NutriStyle may be required to disclose personal
information to comply with valid legal requirements, such as
governmental regulations, search warrants, subpoenas or court
orders or in an emergency situation.
The only entities that will have access to your personal
health information are NutriStyle, your dietitian and any
third parties hired by NutriStyle to assist us in operating,
maintaining and improving NutriStyle. These third parties are
required by us to maintain the confidentiality of your
information and may not use it in any manner except in
fulfillment of their responsibilities to NutriStyle.
HOW
NUTRISTYLE PROTECTS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
NutriStyle uses passwords to authenticate users before
granting access to personal information, and uses role-based
security to ensure that only authorized persons can access
information on our servers. We also use firewalls to protect
information held in our servers. SSL encryption is used when
credit card information is transmitted.
NutriStyle
uses sophisticated technology to minimize the potential risk
that “hackers” may find a way to thwart our security system.
As you know, however, there is always some risk that an
unauthorized third party may find a way to override our
security system or that transmissions over the Internet will
be intercepted.
A limited number of NutriStyle employees are authorized to
access your personal information. All NutriStyle employees
must abide by this Privacy Policy and those who violate it are
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination.

PRIVACY CHOICES
From time to time, you may be given the option of receiving

opportunity to “opt in” to receive emails or newsletters from
third parties or to participate in marketing surveys and other
activities. You may unsubscribe from these services at any
time.
UPDATING OR CHANGING YOUR INFORMATION

previously submitted to NutriStyle. You may make changes to
your information by visiting the “My Account” page. Only your

NutriStyle
backs up your data to prevent inadvertent loss. This means
that your personal information may exist in backup media. It
is not possible to remove each and every record of the
information that you have provided to NutriStyle. Upon
receiving your request, all personal information stored in
active databases and other readily searchable media will be
removed so that you cannot be identified or associated with
it.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
In the event that we make significant changes to our Privacy
Policy, we will notify you by email of the change and obtain
your “opt-in” consent to any such change. We may also make
non-significant changes that generally will not affect our use
of your personal information. You generally will not be
notified of such changes. We urge you to check this posted
Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. If you do not
agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy or any revised
policy, you are not authorized to use the site.
