Exhale Foundation Privacy Policy

The Exhale Foundation has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for ExhaleFoundation.org and affiliated websites, regardless of the URL you used to access this site.

Your IP address is used in conjunction with cookies to keep track of your shopping cart and to save your login information on your computer.

Our site's registration form requires users to give us contact information (name, mail, and email addresses) and demographic information (for example, age and arthritic condition). We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the user promotional material from some of our partners on an opt-in basis. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary and shared with other companies who may want to contact our visitors. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data for other purposes. We use this data to tailor the visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis and is used to determine the the Exhale Foundation membership profile and advertising rates. The personal information you enter on the signup form is kept private and is never divulged to a third-party without your prior permission.

Occasionally, we may analyze the headers of e-mail messages sent to us, cross-checking that information with our signup database. For example, some of our subscribers have had computer viruses which sent us e-mails (and were caught by our systems). By analyzing the headers and using the information in our signup database, we can inform those members that they have a computer virus. However, please note that the Exhale Foundation cannot and will not guarantee that we will inform all users that have viruses that they do have an infection.

This site contains links to other sites. The Exhale Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. Our partners do not have access to personally identifiable information/medical conditions, unless you've chosen to divulge that information to them.

Order Forms
Our site uses an order form for customers to request information, products, and services. We collect visitor's contact information (like their email address), unique identifiers (like their social security number, if applying for a the Exhale Foundation credit card), financial information (like their account or credit card numbers), and demographic information (like their zip code, age, or income level). Contact information from the order form is used to send orders and promotional material from some of our partners to our customers. The customer's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary and shared with other companies who may want to contact our visitors. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products and services. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor our visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis.

Online Surveys
Our online surveys ask visitors for contact information (like their email address) and demographic information (like their age and arthritic condition). Occasionally, and on a survey-by-survey opt-in basis, we use contact data from our surveys to send the user promotional material from some of our partners. Users may opt-out of these mailings by indicating so at the time they complete the survey. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor our visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis.

Contest Entries
We run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact information (like their email address) and demographic information. We use contact data from our contests to send users information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary (for example, if you've won) and shared with other companies who may want to contact our visitors. Users may opt-out of these mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site. We use this data to tailor our visitor's experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis.

Externally-served Advertising
We may use an outside ad company to display ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies received with banner ads are collected by our ad company, and we do not have access to this information. Some customer data is shared with the advertising companies.
