Privacy Policy & Disclaimers

Your privacy is very important to us. At Wholefoodfor7 we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. 
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

The following policy describes what information we collect and how it is used and shared.

Information Collected

Wholefoodfor7 collects as little information as possible from users looking to post comments.  We will typically collect a name (either real or alias) and e-mail address.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Wholefoodfor7 collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Wholefoodfor7’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Wholefoodfor7’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Wholefoodfor7 may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Wholefoodfor7 also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Wholefoodfor7 only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Wholefoodfor7’s website choose to interact with Wholefoodfor7 in ways that require Wholefoodfor7 to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Wholefoodfor7 gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. Those who wish to receive blog updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Wholefoodfor7 collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Wholefoodfor7. Wholefoodfor7 does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Wholefoodfor7 uses cookies to help Wholefoodfor7 identify and track visitors, their usage of Wholefoodfor7 website, and their website access preferences. Wholefoodfor7 visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Wholefoodfor7’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Wholefoodfor7’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

With Whom Information is Shared

None of your information will be shared with third parties. Wholefoodfor7 may use your e-mail address in the future to contact you regarding the site, however, an opt-out will always be provided.  Your name and website may be displayed on the site if you post a comment or a message in the forum.  However, your e-mail address and privacy will always be kept secure.

Opting Out

If Wholefoodfor7 chooses to send out newsletter updates in the future and we have your email address on file, you may receive a copy of our newsletter.  However, at the bottom of every newsletter will be an easy way to opt-out.  The editors of our site hate SPAM as much as you and have no intention of filling up e-mail boxes with unwanted messages.

Third Party Advertising

We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our web site. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information. To learn more about this behavioral advertising practice or to opt-out of this type of advertising, you can visit networkadvertising.org.

Other Affiliate Disclosure

Wholefoodfor7 contains links to products sold by other carefully selected and trusted affiliate partners. If you click on such a link and subsequently make a purchase from the vendor, then I will receive a small affiliate commission from the vendor for referring the sale. Your purchase will be anonymous and the price you pay will be exactly the same as if you made the purchase without visiting through an affiliate link. I only recommend products that I personally use and trust and believe will add value to my readers’ lives. The opinions that I state about these products are not influenced in any way by my affiliate relationship and are true and honest.
