Your
Privacy
At the
Natural Products Center, we believe that understanding what
our customers want for products, services and information
is an important part of building an interesting and useful
online environment.
The
Natural Products Center respects your right to privacy at
all times. This includes the time you spend with us on our
Web sites. Each time you come to our Web site, you may provide
two levels of information about your visit:
1. Statistics collected on an aggregate basis as you browse
the site, and
2. Personal information you knowingly choose to furnish.
We
want you to be aware of how we handle this information.
1. Statistics about your visit
As you browse the site, Natural Products Center's computer
collects information about your visit, not about you personally.
We monitor statistics such as:
- How
many people visit our site
- How
many people return to our site
- Which
pages people visit on our site
- Where
people were before they came to the Natural Product Center's
site.
- The
number of people who leave to visit another site promoted
on the Natural Product Center's site.
This
information is collected on an aggregate basis. No personal
information is associated with the statistics. For example,
while we can determine that on a specific day the site had
thousands of visitors, we do not know anything about those
visitors in terms of e-mail address or any other personal
data.
Different
technologies are used to collect aggregate statistics. These
include: cookies and web server logs. Web server logs tell
which pages are more and less popular in our site and where
people were before they came to the Natural Product Center's
site. Cookies tell how many people visit the Natural Products
Center site, how many people return to our site, and what
language preferences our users have.
These
statistics are used to monitor traffic so we can effectively
handle site capacity. The statistics also help us determine
which parts of the site are most popular. With this information
we can continually improve the Natural Products Center sites
to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective
customers.

Products Center does not use this information for any other
purpose. Nor do we sell, rent or give this information to
any other entity.
