Information
This is Carolina Bodybodybuiling online privacy policy (“Policy”). This policy applies only to activities Carolina Bodybodybuiling engages in on its website and is unrelated to the website. If you have questions about our policy, please email us.
Carolina Bodybuilding collects certain anonymous data regarding the usage of the website. This information does not personally identify users, by itself or in combination with other information, and is gathered to improve the performance of the website. The anonymous data collected by the Carolina Bodybuilding website can include information such as the type of browser you are using, your IP address and the length of the visit to the website. Also, if you respond to a poll, we will aggregate your responses with those of Carolina Bodybuilding members but we do not associate your response with any personally identifiable information.
In order to become a member (where applicable) of Carolina Bodybuilding and have access to our members’ only areas, we ask you to register with our site and provide your e-mail address and name. This Registration Information is personally identifiable information because it allows us to contact you and distinguish you from other users.
You may also be asked to provide personally identifiable information in other areas of the Carolina Bodybuilding website, which may include your name, address, title, company name, number of employees in your company, telephone number, cellular phone number, date of birth, fax number, address, credit card number, and e-mail address, as well as your user ID and password, the name of your school or organization, and the name of your Varsity Organization Sport or Group. This information can be gathered when feedback or e-mails are sent to Carolina Bodybuilding, when you register for services, post information on our forums, or make purchases via the website. In all such cases you have the option of providing us with personally identifiable information, though certain services and features may not be available to you if you do not provide us with personally identifiable information.
If you make purchases through Carolina Bodybuilding, we need to gather information relating to the sale, including what you are buying, how you are paying and where you would like the products shipped. However, we will use that Transactional Information only to complete the transaction, to provide you with an order history and to facilitate future orders. We may also use information about the transaction for aggregate reporting (where we summarize the data in a report that does not contain your personally identifiable information).
We may receive additional personally identifiable information from you through communications with Carolina Bodybuilding. If so, we will use that information to fulfill your request and for aggregate reporting before deleting it from our active system. We will use that information to give you an answer, to make sure that you are satisfied with our answer, to have a history of our service to you and to make our service better by reporting your request, without any personally identifying information, in our customer service totals.
Cookies
Cookies are small bits of data that are deposited on a user’s hard drive. Cookies permit users to store their password and other user information without having to constantly re-enter this data. Carolina Bodybuilding uses cookies to remember your username and password as you navigate around our site. Cookies also allow us to ensure that you may only respond once per day to polls or contests.
We also use “activity tags”. These invisible tags provide information to third parties about the flow of users on our site and other web sites. Carolina Bodybuilding also receives reports generated from that information. Information collected through the use of activity tags on our site is never linked to any personally identifiable information you provided to Carolina Bodybuilding.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Carolina Bodybuilding typically does not sell personally identifiable information, such as your name or e-mail address to advertisers. However, non-personal “aggregated data” may be used to enhance the operation of our website, or analyze interest in the areas of our website. Moreover, we may in some circumstances disclose personally identifiable information to third parties to enhance your experience on our website. Additionally, if you provide Carolina Bodybuilding with content for publishing or feedback, we may publish your user name or other identifying data. Carolina Bodybuilding also provides you with many ways to submit information to be posted on our site including participating in our forums and asking questions. In each of these circumstances, Carolina Bodybuilding gathers information from you. Be aware that anything you submit to Carolina Bodybuilding through these services may be made public, so please remember not to include any information you want kept private. Information submitted to forums or experts can be read, recorded and used by any third party or by Carolina Bodybuilding.
We also aggregate information supplied by users during registration and information about their use of Carolina Bodybuilding to maintain our services and describe our user base to potential partners, investors and advertisers. In providing this information, however, we do not reveal any personally identifiable information, and only supply summary data about our community of users.
Carolina Bodybuilding may also disclose personally identifiable information in order to respond to a subpoena, court order or other such request. Carolina Bodybuilding may also provide such personally identifiable information in response to a law enforcement agency’s request or as otherwise required by law, or if we believe you are harming or interfering with others’ use of this site, you are violating the User Agreement, or infringing the rights of Carolina Bodybuilding or its employees. Your personally identifiable information may be provided to a party if Carolina Bodybuilding files for bankruptcy, or there is a transfer of the assets or ownership of Carolina Bodybuilding in connection with proposed or consummated corporate reorganizations, such as mergers or acquisitions.
Except as otherwise stated in this Policy, we do not sell, trade or rent your personally identifiable information collected on the site to others. The information collected by our site is used to process orders and membership orders, to keep you informed about your order status, to notify you of products or special offers that may be of interest to you, and for statistical purposes for improving our site.
We will disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties for tracking purposes, to charge your credit card (or process your check or money order, as appropriate), fill your order, improve the functionality of our site, perform statistical and data analyses, deliver your order and deliver promotional emails to you from us. For example, we must release your credit card number to confirm payment; and release your mailing address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered. We may employ other companies to perform functions on our behalf, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, providing customer service, sending mail, processing credit card payments, holding live chats, hosting message boards or other functions necessary for us to provide services to you. We may need to share your personally identifiable information with these companies. However, we will provide them with only the information necessary to perform their functions, and will not allow them to use that information for any other purposes.
In the interest of enhancing our service, we form partnerships with other web-based services. Some of these partnerships include the sharing of some of your personal information with our partners in order to extend these services to you. We require that our partners respect your privacy and not disclose your information to other organizations without your consent, but beyond that, our partners’ use of your information is governed by their privacy policies. You will be given the opportunity to opt out of joining any of our partner services at the time of registration.
