Additionally, we may receive personal data from you when you expressly provide it to us. Examples of sources from which we collect information include emails or other communications from you, information provided through web forms or entries/uploads on our website, documents you have provided to us, and applications.
(e) Information we collect when you interact with third-party websites
The site may include features that allow certain types of interactions between the site (and/or our social media pages or other pages accessible to us) and your account on a third-party website or application, such as a social media site like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube. Using these features may mean that the third-party website provides us with information about your interactions with social media, content, and other data (name, email address, account information, photo and friend lists, etc.). These items may be provided through third-party features you use on our website and through other services (such as applications, tools, payment services, widgets, and plugins provided by social media services like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube) or posted on social media pages. For example, we may provide links on the website to facilitate sending a communication from the website or we may use third parties to facilitate emails or social media posts (such as the “Share” or “Forward” button).
Our services may also be integrated into social media and other platforms where information is exchanged between us and these platforms. If you visit our services on a device with which you also interact with social networks, or if you interact with us through a social media feature as a plugin (such as a Facebook Like button), you allow us continuous access to, use, and storage of certain information from your social network profile in accordance with this privacy policy. In addition, these third parties may retain any information used or provided in these communications or activities, and the practices of these third parties are not subject to our privacy policy. We may not control or access your communication through these third parties. If you use third-party websites or services, you are using their services and not ours, and they, not us, are responsible for their practices. You should read the applicable privacy policies of third parties before using such third-party tools on our website. For more information, also refer to our terms of use.

When we disclose information
We may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize all information collected through the website or services so that this information is no longer linked to your personally identifiable information. We may use and disclose this aggregated and anonymized information (non-personal data) for any purpose, including but not limited to research and marketing purposes, and we may also share this data with our affiliated companies and third parties, including advertisers, advertising partners, and others.
To the extent legally permissible and in accordance with an applicable state code of conduct, certain non-public information about you may be disclosed in the following situations:
Compliance with a valid and enforceable subpoena or summons.
As part of a review of our business practices by approval of a state or national regulatory authority or as needed to appropriately respond to an investigation or complaint by the regulatory authority of such an organization.
In connection with a potential purchase, sale, or merger of all or part of our practice, provided that we take reasonable precautions (e.g., through a written confidentiality agreement) to ensure that the potential buyer or merger partner does not further disclose the information obtained during the review.”
“Within the context of legal proceedings initiated by or against us, or alternative dispute resolution processes, we will disclose only the necessary information to present, pursue, or defend the claim, and take reasonable measures to ensure that the disclosed information does not become public.
We may share information with affiliated and non-affiliated third parties that provide services or functions for us related to our services for you, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party prohibiting them from disclosing or using the information other than for the purposes for which it was disclosed. Examples of such disclosures include using a payment processor, a merchandise vendor, a customer service provider, or an email marketing provider.
Finally, we may also disclose your data, including personal information, for direct marketing purposes to our affiliated companies and other third parties with whom we have marketing or other relationships. (If you are a resident of California, you have the right to request additional information about the “sale” of your information. For more information on these rights, see the “Your Privacy Rights in California” section.) Additionally, we may disclose the information we have collected about you, including personal information, as disclosed and described in this privacy policy at the time of providing your information.
Advertisements and Information About You
You may see certain ads on our website as we participate in advertising networks operated by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time and across websites and third-party online services by automatically collecting information, including the use of the tracking technologies described above.

If you prefer us not to disclose your name and mailing address to third parties (other than our affiliated companies) for receiving promotional offers, you have the option to opt-out.

Children’s Privacy
We recognize the importance of the safety and privacy of children. The website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly request or collect personal data from children under 13 years of age. Individuals under 18 years of age (but over 12 years) may only use the website under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to the website’s terms of use. If you are a parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 years of age whom you believe has provided us with your data without authorization, please contact us at contact@blogtobehealthy.com to request the removal of this information.
Do Not Track
“Do Not Track” (DNT) is a web browser setting that requests a web application to disable tracking of an individual user. If you activate the DNT settings in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, advertising networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activities. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms to express a consumer’s choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. For example, the browser does not track signals. However, there is no universally accepted standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal. Currently, we do not monitor or take action regarding these signals or other mechanisms.
Rights of Individuals Residing in Europe
If you reside in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) gives you the right to access, correct, update, or request removal of the personal data we store about you. If you wish to exercise this right, please contact us using the contact information provided below. For the purposes of the GDPR, the data controller is blogtobehealthy.
Third-Party Marketing. If you reside in the EEA, you have the choice (opt-in or opt-out) before we share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. As long as you have chosen to receive marketing messages from third parties, we may share your information (including personal data) with third parties for our own direct marketing purposes. Please note that messages sent by third parties are subject to the privacy policies of the third party. We may also link your email address with third parties with whom you have also agreed to share your email address and use that relationship to send you personalized offers or emails about the services and outside the services, provided you have agreed to receive such offers or emails electronically.
If you reside in the EEA, we also note that we process your data to fulfill contracts we may have with you (e.g., if you make an inquiry through the website) or to otherwise pursue our legitimate business interests mentioned above.
