You can review and change your personal information by logging into our Services (e.g., visiting your account / profile page) or you may visit the Data Subject Access Request Form to delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

Our Websites and Services may contain links to third party websites and services, including to social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. Please note that these links are provided for your convenience and information, and the websites and services may operate independently from us and have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review.

We are not responsible for the privacy policies, terms and conditions, practices, or the content of such third parties. All information that you disclose to such third parties will be subject to the privacy policies and practices of such third parties. You should review the privacy policies and practices of such third parties prior to disclosing information to them. If you have any questions about how these third parties use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

10. Do Not Track

Our Websites may, from time to time, collect information about your online activities, over time and across our different websites. When you use our Websites, third parties may also collect information about your online activities, over time and across different internet websites, online or cloud computing services, online applications, or mobile applications. Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature, which is intended to be a signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked across different websites you visit. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, our Services and Websites do not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals or change the way they operate based upon detection of a “Do Not Track” or similar signal.

The CCPA provides California residents (consumers) with specific rights regarding their personal information. We will not use your personal information we collect for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  1. The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  2. The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  3. Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  4. The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  5. The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
  6. If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  7. sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
  8. disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
Deletion Request Rights. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete or deidentify (and direct our service providers to take similar action) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided.
Exercising Your Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights:
How to Exercise. To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, you may visit the Data Subject Access Request Form or call us toll-free at 1-877-490-0808. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

General Requirements. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. It must also describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format. We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please email us at legal@socialnature.com with the subject line: California Privacy Protection. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination:
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:
  1. Deny you goods or services.
  2. Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  3. Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  4. Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
Notice of Financial Incentives:
We may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. For example, we provide a rebate cashback program, certain perks, such as discounts, rewards and special promotions, or other benefits to users who sign up or register to receive our marketing or promotional communications, join a program, complete a survey, or enter a contest, sweepstakes, or other similar promotional campaigns (“Programs”). Because our Programs involve the collection of personal information, they might be interpreted as a “financial incentive” program under the CCPA. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the Program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

Other California Privacy Rights:
California's “Shine the Light” law permits users of our Services and Websites that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to legal@socialnature.com or write us at:

14. Washington State Consumer Health Privacy Policy

The State of Washington imposes certain limitations and restrictions on businesses that collect Consumer Health Data of Washington residents or individuals purchasing products in the State of Washington.

Categories of Consumer Health Data Collected: As defined under the Washington My Health My Data Act, the term “Consumer Health Data” is defined broadly and could apply to certain data that we collect from you. This includes personal information that can be linked to you that identifies a past, present, or future physical or mental health status. In many instances we are unable to control whether we receive your Consumer Health Data, as you are responsible for controlling what purchase data (including a photograph of your receipt that contains products you purchased) you submit to us.

Categories of Consumer Health Data that we may collect include:

  1. Purchase information related to your health conditions, symptoms, status, diagnoses, or treatments. For example, you may submit a receipt which contains purchase information to us that includes over-the-counter medications.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT US TO COLLECT YOUR CONSUMER HEALTH DATA, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT SUBMIT RECEIPTS TO US THAT CONTAIN YOUR CONSUMER HEALTH DATA. BY SUBMITTING SUCH INFORMATION TO US, YOU CONSENT TO OUR COLLECTION OF YOUR CONSUMER HEALTH DATA FOR THE PURPOSES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

Categories of Sources from which Health Data is Collected: As further described in this Privacy Policy, we collect Consumer Health Data directly from you and through your interactions with our Websites and Services and your Communications with us.

The Purpose and Intended Use for Collected Health Data: We use personal information (including Consumer Health Data) for the purposes set forth in the How Do We Use Your Information? section above.

Categories of Health Data Shared: As defined under Washington law, we do not share Consumer Health Data.

Categories of Third Parties and Affiliates that Receive Health Data of WA Residents: We may disclose Consumer Health Data to processors as necessary to provide consumers with our services in a manner consistent with the purpose for which the Consumer Health Data was collected. For example, we may disclose Consumer Health Data to processors in order to validate purchases and offer you a rebate, reward or redemption. We may also disclose your Consumer Health Data (i) in connection with a Business Transfer (as defined above), (ii) for any purpose for which you consent or direct us to disclose it, and/or (iii) as necessary to comply with legal and regulatory requests.

Rights Under WA Law and How to Exercise Them: You have certain rights under WA law regarding how we collect, process, and share your Consumer Health Data.

  1. Right To Withdraw Consent to The Collection of Your Consumer Health Data: As described above, Washington law defines Consumer Health Data broadly. Certain information that you submit to us may be considered Consumer Health Data. If you do not wish for us to collect your Consumer Health Data, then you should make certain that you do not submit purchase information to us that identifies or that could lead us to infer a past, present, or future physical or mental health status.
  2. Right To Have Your Consumer Health Data Deleted: You may request that we delete all of the personal information (including your Consumer Health Data) we have collected from you in the past, subject to certain limited exceptions. To request deletion, you may visit the Data Subject Access Request Form.

Our Websites, Services and Communications are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. This includes any links to other websites that we provide for our convenience. We don’t knowingly collect the information of individuals under the age of 18. 

16. Changes To Our Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time. Changes will take effect immediately upon us posting the updated Privacy Policy on our Services, Websites or Communications. Accordingly, you are encouraged to revisit this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to review any changes that we have made. The date on which this Privacy Policy was last updated will be noted immediately above this Privacy Policy.
