User content you may create or disclose to us during our relationship, including posts on our social media pages and comment sections.

Personal Information Collected Automatically Through Your Use of Our Services

Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times, and duration of access, and whether you have opened our marketing emails or clicked links within them.
Device information, such as your device's operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, screen resolution, RAM and disk size, CPU usage, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, language settings, mobile device carrier, radio/network information (e.g., WiFi, LTE, 3G), advertising ID, other unique device identifiers, and general location information.

Tools We Use for Automatic Data Collection

Cookies, which are pieces of information stored directly on the device you are using to access the Services that allow us to collect the device and online activity data noted above. We and our service providers and partners may use this information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, display information more effectively, conduct analytics, personalize your experience, and for advertising, including interest-based advertising.
Local storage technologies, which provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data, including on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.
Pixel tags, also known as web beacons and clear GIFs, which may be used to track the actions of users of the Services (including email recipients), measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about usage of the Services and response rates.

Other Sources from Which We Collect Personal Information

Social media. If you choose to log into the Services via your social media, email, or other online account, information we collect from the providers of these third-party services may include details such as your contact information, profile pictures, social media account IDs, and other public profile information.
Other third parties, such as publicly available databases, marketing partners, third-party providers, and data brokers. We may combine this information with other information we collect and use the combined information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We need to collect personal information to provide the requested Services to you. If you do not provide the information requested, we may not be able to provide the Services.

If you disclose any personal information relating to other people to us or to our service providers in connection with the Services, you represent that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

How We Use Personal Information

Here's an overview of how we use personal information in providing our Services.

Administering the Services, including arranging access to your account, facilitating your purchases and transactions, administering your subscriptions, verifying your information, responding to your inquiries, fulfilling your requests, and sending you administrative information such as agreements to provide the Services and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies.

Relationship building and engagement, such as responding to posts on our social media pages and conducting other relationship building activities.
Personalizing our Services, including personalizing our interactions with you and providing you with information and offers tailored to your interests, such as delivering content that we believe will be relevant and interesting to you.
Improving and developing our Services, such as conducting data analysis, monitoring and analyzing use of our Services, using data analytics to improve the efficiency of our Services, developing new products and services, identifying trends, understanding which products and parts of our Services are most interesting to customers, and determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns.
Aggregation and de-identification, where we may de-identify and aggregate personal information to create data that does not reasonably identify you or another individual, and use and disclose such data for our own business purposes without limitation.
Security and fraud prevention, including conducting audits, verifying that our internal processes function as intended and are compliant with legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements, monitoring for and preventing fraudulent or malicious activity, and verifying and maintaining the safety, quality, and accuracy of our Services.

How We Disclose Personal Information

Here are the types of entities to which we may disclose personal information in providing the Services.

Service providers that provide hosting, information technology, customer support, payment processing, email and communications delivery (including text messaging platforms), fraud prevention, and analytics services for the purposes listed above. These entities process the personal information we disclose to them or that they have access to on our behalf and pursuant to our instructions.
Advertising partners, including third-party advertising companies, for interest-based online advertising purposes.
Professional advisors, such as accountants, actuaries, auditors, consultants, lawyers, banks, and financial institutions that support our business.
Authorities and others, including law enforcement, public, regulatory, and government authorities, courts, or other entities where required by law or legal process, or where we deem the disclosure appropriate for legal, compliance, or fraud-prevention purposes.
Other online services, where you may choose to post information and content on our social media pages and other online services when you interact with us.
Business transferees, such as acquiring entities and their advisors in the event of, or in preparation for, any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

Security

We employ a variety of organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately.

Marketing Choices

You have choices regarding marketing-related communications. If you no longer want to receive marketing-related emails or other communications from us on a going-forward basis, you may opt-out by following the unsubscribe instructions in any such message.

If you no longer want to receive SMS/text messages from us on a going-forward basis, you may opt out by texting "STOP," "STOPALL," "END," "CANCEL," "UNSUBSCRIBE," "QUIT," "REVOKE," or "OPT OUT."

We will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that if you opt out of receiving marketing from us, we may still send you important administrative and transactional messages, from which you cannot opt out.

Privacy Rights Requests

Your Rights

Your local laws (including applicable laws in Canada and the United States, including California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas, as well as similar U.S. state laws) may permit you to request that we:

Provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
Update personal information that is out of date or incorrect.
Delete certain personal information that we process about you.
Restrict the way that we process and disclose personal information.
Prevent the processing of your personal information for direct-marketing purposes.
Opt out of the processing of your personal information for automated processing that results in legal or similarly significant effects (if relevant).

Your local laws may also permit you to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal information for certain purposes.

In addition:

California and Oregon residents can request information about the categories of personal information we collect, disclose, "sell," or "share" (as defined in California law) about you. California residents can request the sources of such information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, "selling," or "sharing" your information, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose information. Such information is also set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Oregon, Connecticut, and Minnesota residents can request a list of the specific third parties, other than natural persons, to which we have disclosed personal information.

How to Exercise Your Rights

If you wish to exercise your data subject rights, please email us at contact@davidprotein.com. We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period stated by applicable law and as otherwise required by applicable law. Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests in some circumstances, which may include if we need to keep processing your information for our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation. We may request that you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to your request. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with the information you seek if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the request relates to you and your information.

If you are a resident of Virginia, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Delaware, Colorado, or Connecticut, and we deny your information request, you have the right to appeal our denial. You can exercise this right by emailing us at contact@davidprotein.com. Your description must include your full name and the email address used for your account with us, along with a copy of the denial notice you received from us.

If you would like to submit your request through an authorized agent, we will ask the agent to provide written permission from you, and we may need to separately verify your identity as discussed above.

Sale/Targeted Advertising Opt-Out Rights

Under the laws in certain U.S. jurisdictions (as indicated in the list above), you have the right to opt out of our processing or sharing of your information for online targeted advertising purposes. Note that certain state laws also allow you to opt out of the "sale" of your information to third parties in exchange for valuable consideration. We may use analytics and online advertising tools that result in the disclosure of your information to our third-party partners and that are subject to this opt-out right. You can opt out of these activities by using the "Your Privacy Choices" link on our website footer. To opt out of our offline disclosure of your information for these purposes, please email us at contact@davidprotein.com.

Please note that we will also honor browser-based opt-out signals (such as the global privacy control) in accordance with our legal obligations.

Additional Information for California Residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") requires us to provide you with the following additional information about:

The purpose for which we use each category of "personal information" (as defined in the CCPA) we collect; and
The categories of third parties to which we (a) disclose such personal information for a business purpose, (b) "share" personal information for "cross-context behavioral advertising," and/or (c) "sell" such personal information.

Under the CCPA, "sharing" is defined as the targeting of advertising to a consumer based on that consumer's personal information obtained from the consumer's activity across distinct online services, and "selling" is defined as the disclosure of personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. We "share" information with our advertising partners to provide more relevant and tailored advertising to you regarding our Services. Moreover, our use of third-party analytics services and online advertising services may result in the sharing of online identifiers (e.g., cookie data, IP addresses, device identifiers, and usage information) in a way that may be considered a "sale" under the CCPA.

The list below summarizes how we collect, use, and share personal information by reference to the statutory categories specified in the CCPA. Categories below refer to the categories described above in the general section of this Policy.

Identifiers (e.g., name and business contact information)

Purpose of collection: operate the Services; business operations (product improvement, relationship management, personalization, security/fraud protection); marketing and promotional communications; online advertising; legal compliance.
Categories of third parties to whom we "sell" or "share" this information: online advertising partners.

Account Credentials

Purpose of collection: operate the Services; business operations (security/fraud protection); legal compliance.
Categories of third parties to whom we "sell" or "share" this information: none.

Commercial Information (e.g., records of services purchased)

Purpose of collection: operate the Services; business operations (product improvement, relationship management, personalization, security/fraud protection); marketing and promotional communications; online advertising; legal compliance.
Categories of third parties to whom we "sell" or "share" this information: online advertising partners.

Financial Information (e.g., payment information, collected and processed by third-party payment processors on our behalf)

Purpose of collection: operate the Services; business operations (security/fraud protection); legal compliance.
Categories of third parties to whom we "sell" or "share" this information: none.

Online Identifiers, Internet or Network Information, and General Geolocation Data

Purpose of collection: operate the Services; business operations (product improvement, relationship management, personalization, security/fraud protection); marketing and promotional communications; online advertising; legal compliance.
Categories of third parties to whom we "sell" or "share" this information: online advertising partners.

Other Information Provided (User Content, Preferences, Marketing Data)

Categories of third parties to whom we "sell" or "share" this information: online advertising partners.

Your California Privacy Rights

Please see the Privacy Rights Requests section above for the rights you have under applicable law.

Your Choices Regarding "Sharing" and "Selling"

You have the right to opt out of our sale or sharing of your personal information for purposes of online analytics and advertising by using the "Your Privacy Choices" link on our website footer. Your opt-out choice will apply only to the particular device and browser on which you are making the choice, so please repeat your opt-out choice on other browsers and devices if you would like. Please note that we will also honor browser-based opt-out signals (such as the global privacy control) in accordance with our legal obligations. To opt out of the offline disclosure of your information to third parties for these purposes, and to our partners to send you offers and information that may interest you, please email us at contact@davidprotein.com.

Other CCPA Rights

Financial Incentives. From time to time, we may offer programs that provide certain perks to members, such as members-only discounts, rewards for serving as a brand ambassador and referring new customers, birthday offers, access to giveaways, and events. We may also provide other special offers and benefits to customers who sign up to receive communications from us or who participate in certain promotional campaigns. When a customer signs up for one of these programs, we typically ask the customer to provide their name, email address, and/or telephone number. Because we collect personal information, these programs may be considered "financial incentives" or "bona fide loyalty programs" under applicable laws. In offering these programs, the value of customer personal information that we collect is reasonably related to the expenses of providing special offers and benefits to participants in the programs (which may vary depending on the specific offer or benefit or the amount purchased by the customer using the special offer). For more information about these programs, and how you can opt out of further participation, please email us at contact@davidprotein.com.

Right to Limit. The CCPA allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your "sensitive personal information" (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information other than for business purposes for which you cannot opt out under the CCPA.

Notice Concerning Do Not Track. Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on our website for third-party purposes, which is why we describe a variety of opt-out mechanisms above. However, we do not currently recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals. Please note that DNT is different from the browser-based privacy signal (the global privacy control) referred to above, which we do honor.

Shine the Light. The California "Shine the Light" law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to opt out of the disclosure of certain categories of "personal information" (as defined in the Shine the Light law) to third parties for their "direct marketing purposes" (as such term is defined in the Shine the Light law), or in the alternative, that we maintain a policy of providing a cost-free means for consumers to opt out of any such disclosure. We maintain such a procedure. We do not currently disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. To opt out of "sales" and "sharing" as defined under the CCPA, see the "Your Choices Regarding 'Sharing' and 'Selling'" section above.

Retention Period

We retain personal information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purposes for which it was obtained as outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you (for example, for as long as you keep using our platform).
Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records or communications for a certain period before we can delete them).
Whether retention is advisable considering our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).

Third-Party Services

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties. This includes any third party operating any website or service to which our Services link. The inclusion of a link on our Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.

The Services may also provide functionality allowing you to make payments to us using third-party payment service providers. When you use such a service to make a payment, your personal information will be collected by such third party and not by us, and will be subject to the third party's privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party's collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.

Use of the Services by Minors

The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 16. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided personal information to us through the Services, please contact us.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

From time to time we may change or update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of our Services, or advances in technology. You should review the Privacy Policy periodically, and you can know if the Privacy Policy has changed since the last time you reviewed it by checking the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of the document. By continuing to use the Services, you are confirming that you have read and understood the latest version of this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to the Policy, we will provide notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
