In order to use some features of this website, a user must first

to give their contact information (such as email address). This
information is used to contact the user about the services on our
site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for
the user to provide demographic information (such as income level),

personalized experience on our site.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the users hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no
way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our

not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time
while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still

business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to
disclose this information. Information requested may include contact
information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic

used for any other purpose.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line.

who need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
a customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Finally, the servers that we store personally
identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind
a locked cage.

for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive
these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out
below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members
are able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain
important information about the service. We communicate with the
user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating
Personal Information:
If a users personally identifiable information changes (such
as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
users personal data provided to us. This can usually be done
at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to opt-out of having
their information used for purposes not directly related to our
site at the point where we ask for the information. For example,
our member profile page has an opt-out mechanism so
users who don't want site related or product offer information can
keep from being sent information they do not want.
Users who no
longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from
our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by changing
the Site Updates/Email option in their profile page or emailing
us at webmaster@BodyforLife-Tracker.com.
Users of our
site are always notified when their information is being collected
by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed
choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require
an outside party, or not.
Notification
of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose
it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice
as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy
under which the information was collected.
