This site is owned by S-V Corp. This
Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices
regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that
you may provide via this site and certain related services.
Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using,
or submitting information, to this site. This site is intended
for use by residents of the United States.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with
the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information
via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure
of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Privacy of Children on Our
Web Site
Our Web site is not intended for
use by children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly
collect personal information from children under the age of
13.
Active Information Collection
Like many Web sites, this site actively
collects information from its visitors both by asking you
specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly
with us via e-mail and feedback forms. Some of the information
that you submit may be personally identifiable information
(that is, information that can be uniquely identified with
you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone
number, and so on).
Some areas of this site may require
you to submit information in order for you to benefit from
the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions,
tips/pointers) or to participate in a particular activity
(such as sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed
at each information collection point what information is required
and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain
information can be passively collected (that is, gathered
without your actively providing the information) using various
technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses,
cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
This site may use Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to your computer
by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet
and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable
information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic
(changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than
static (unique to a particular user's computer). We use your
IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate
information, determine the fastest route for your computer
to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve
the site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information
that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site
remember information about you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary
bits of information that are erased once you exit your Web
browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session
cookies are used to improve navigation on Web sites and to
collect aggregate statistical information. This site uses
session cookies.
"Internet tags" (also known as
single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1
GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server
information such as the IP address and browser type related
to the visitor's computer. We do not use Internet tags at
this site.
"Navigational data" ("log
files," "server logs," and "clickstream"
data) are used for system management, to improve the content
of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate
information to visitors. This site uses navigational data.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use
your information to improve the content of our site, to customize
the site to your preferences, to communicate information to
you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research
purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable
information to this site, we may combine such information
with other actively collected information unless we specify
otherwise at the point of collection. We will take reasonable
measures to prevent personally identifiable information from
being combined with passively collected information, unless
you consent otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable
information to S-V Corp affiliates worldwide that agree to
treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. In addition,
we may disclose your personally identifiable information to
third parties, located in the United States and/or any other
country, but only
(i) to contractors we use to support our
business (e.g., fulfillment services, technical support, delivery
services, and financial institutions), in which case we will
require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance
with this Privacy Policy;
(ii) where required by applicable laws,
court orders, or government regulations. In addition, we will
make full use of all information acquired through this site
that is not in personally identifiable form.
Remember that the information provided by this site is for
general background purposes and is not intended to be used
in connection with, or as a substitute for, medical diagnosis
or treatment by a trained professional. You should always
consult your own physician about any healthcare questions
you may have, especially before trying a new medication, diet,
fitness program, or approach to health care issues.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your
personally identifiable information as you transmit your information
from your computer to our site and to protect such information
from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration,
or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission
is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent
to or from this site may not be secure, and you should therefore
take special care in deciding what information you send to
us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers,
or other special access features on this site, it is your
responsibility to safeguard them.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references
to other Web sites. Please be aware that we do not control
other Web sites and that, in any case, this Privacy Policy
does not apply to those Web sites. We encourage you to read
the privacy policy of every Web site you visit.
