We collect two types of information from users of our Site: personal information described below; and non-personal information such as information about traffic patterns on our Site.

2. Personal Information

When you interact with our Site, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information, such as when you register and select a user name and password, when you make a purchase, or when you enter a contest or other promotion.

Providing personal information in these instances is solely your choice; it is not a requirement that you provide such information, make purchases, or enter any contests to browse our Site. However, if you visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing personally identifiable information about yourself, you may be unable to participate in certain product promotions or receive product information.

If you would like to use one of our Apps, you will be asked to provide personally identifiable information after you downloading the App. This will enable you to access the App and use its features.

7. Information Only Collected on Mobile Devices

If you use our mobile applications, an application may access certain mobile device information and/or components automatically. This will enable us to provide you with the services of a particular mobile application. Your mobile device's notification system may be used to send alerts and notifications to you. Other features of your device may be accessed, but only where you grant our mobile application permission to access those features. Depending on the mobile device or mobile operating system you use, you may be asked to: (a) grant permission for the use of multiple device features before you download a mobile application; or (b) grant permission for the use of a specific device feature at the time that a mobile application requires access.

10. Sharing of Your Information

Body & Brain may share your personal information: (i) with third parties who are under obligations of confidentiality with Body & Brain or with Body & Brain's affiliates or subsidiaries, (ii) if Body & Brain is required by law to do so, (iii) in the event of a transfer of ownership of Body & Brain, merger or other similar transaction, or (iv) as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. The following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed to third parties:

We may employ other third parties to perform services or functions on our behalf in order to improve our Site, merchandising, marketing and promotional efforts, communications or other services. Those third parties may include authorized contractors, consultants and other companies working with us (collectively, "agents"). They only have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, and they may not share any personal information with others or use it for any other purpose than providing or improving Body & Brain's services and offerings.

We may share certain non-personal information with third parties for advertising, promotional and other purposes. For example, we may work with third party advertising companies, to serve and track our ads. These third parties may serve other cookies. Our advertising partners may use the non-personal information they collect from our Site, in the aggregate, to help us better market and serve our customers.

This Privacy Policy applies only to Body & Brain's Site and does not address the practices of third parties who may collect your personal information. You may visit other web sites, through links on our Site, which may collect, use and share your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information practices of those linked websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to be very cautious before you disclose your personal information to others.

In order to provide you with the information, products or services which you have requested, we may share or transfer your personal information with our affiliates or subsidiaries, or third-party agents acting on their behalf.

Body & Brain may be obligated to cooperate with various law enforcement inquiries. Body & Brain reserves the right to disclose or transfer personal information and non-personal information about you and your activities on our Site in order to comply with a legal requirement or request from law enforcement or other government officials, administrative agencies or third parties as we, in our sole discretion, determine necessary or appropriate for the administration of justice, or in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement or violations of any other law, rule or regulation, our BodynBrain.com Terms of Use or other rules or policies of our Site, the rights of third parties, or an investigation of any other activity that may expose us or you to legal liability, or to investigate any suspected conduct, which Body & Brain in its sole discretion deems improper.

11. Social Media Plugins

On certain pages of our Site, we may implement so-called social media plugins, in particular buttons connecting to third-party social media sites, including the sites and applications of Meta Platforms, Inc. d/b/a Meta, Google Inc. and Twitter, Inc. (“Social Media Sites”). When you visit a page that displays one or more of such buttons your browser will establish a direct connection to the respective servers of the Social Media Sites and load data via the button. The Social Media Sites will know that the respective page on our website has been visited.

We have no influence on the data that the Social Media Sites collect on the basis of the buttons. According to the available information, however, if you do not click on the respective buttons no personal data will be collected and stored unless you have logged onto to your account on the respective Social Media Sites. In that case, certain user data (including your IP address at the time) may be collected and linked to the account information already present at the respective Social Media Sites. If you wish to prevent this, please log out of your social media accounts before visiting our Site.

In addition, clicking a button may also lead to a collection of certain data, such as the user’s IP address. The Social Media Sites may set cookies as well, unless you have disabled the acceptance and storage of cookies in your browser settings (see the “Cookies” section above). We receive no information from the Social Media Sites about which social media buttons you may have clicked or seen on our website, but, if at all, we may receive a summarized statistical report of non-personal data relating to the use of the buttons.
