Heather W. Lost 42 Pounds*

Before SlimGenics, I felt self-conscious and depressed. I was looking for more confidence. I was surprised at how much flexibility there was in my food choices. I’m amazed at how quickly and easily the pounds came off. Now I feel excited, happy, and more confident in my clothes.

*Individual results may vary. Participants who follow a reduced-calorie high-protein program like SlimGenics can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week.

What Information About Me is Collected on the Sites or Through My Purchase of Products?

We collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you (“Personally Identifiable Information“). Such Personally Identifiable Information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date (primarily for eligibility purposes) and billing and credit card information, and fitness information (such as weight or BMI). We may request Personally Identifiable Information from you when you register on or subscribe to our Sites, or purchase any products from any online stores in our Sites (“Products“). In all of these cases, we will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us.

You do not have to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information to visit our Sites. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to visit all sections of our Sites or use or receive all of our Sites, promotions and offerings.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When you become a registered user of, or subscribe to, one of our Sites, we also may collect information that by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information (such as age, profession or gender) and fitness information (such as current weight or BMI) (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information“). Non-Personally Identifiable Information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Sites. Non-Personally Identifiable Information is used to help us understand who uses our Sites and to improve and market our Sites in general and our Sites in particular.

Information from your Mobile Device

We may also use technologies to provide you with tailored information and features as you use our Sites. When you access our Sites from your mobile handheld device (“Mobile Device“), we may obtain information about the type of Mobile Device you are using. We may use this information to notify you of features and products that may be available on your Mobile Device. Certain features may require our collection of the phone number of your Mobile Device. We may link that phone number to the mobile device identification information. In addition, some mobile network providers (“Mobile Providers“) in the United States are required to use technology that tracks the physical location of Mobile Devices that use their service. Depending on your Mobile Provider and mobile device, we may automatically receive this information. If we begin to offer services that use this tracking (“pinpointing”) information, we will obtain your consent (an opt-in) before using the information. AFTER OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT, WE MAY USE AND STORE THIS INFORMATION TO PROVIDE LOCATION-BASED SERVICES, INCLUDING LOCATION-TARGETED ADVERTISING. BY ACCESSING THE SITES THROUGH YOUR MOBILE DEVICE, YOU ARE EXPRESSLY CONSENTING TO OUR COLLECTION OF SUCH INFORMATION AND ARE PROVIDING US WITH YOUR PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES AND ELECTRONIC EMAIL TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE. WE MAY USE YOUR ELECTRONIC CONTACT INFORMATION TO SEND YOU COMMUNICATIONS.

Most mobile devices provide users with the ability to disable location services. These controls are usually located in the mobile device’s settings menu. If you have questions about how to disable your mobile device’s location services, we recommend you contact your Mobile Provider or your mobile device manufacturer.

Information from Other Sources

We may also supplement the information we collect with information from other sources to assist us in evaluating and improving our Sites, to determine your preferences so that we can tailor our Sites to your needs, and/or to study nutritional, weight loss, behavioral and fitness questions in general.

Where and When is Information Collected on or Through Our Sites?

We may collect information (including information that is Personally Identifiable Information) from you in different manners and at different places and times on our Sites, such as when you register for our online community or subscribe to one of our Sites. The following is a description of manners in which we collect information about you:

Becoming a Registered User and Subscription, and Purchasing Products

You must first complete certain steps to become either a registered user or a subscriber in order to access certain portions of our Sites, such as our chat rooms, message boards, blogs, weight loss tools, e-coupons, newsletters, online stores and food database, or to purchase Products and take advantage of our rewards programs and other special offers, During these steps, you may be required to provide us with information (including Personally Identifiable Information) such as name, zip code and email address, and, if you subscribe to one of our Sites, credit card and billing information. This information is used to help us understand who uses our Sites, to improve our Sites, to contact users about requested Sites and for subscription billing purposes if applicable. It is optional for you to provide fitness information, but providing this information is encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our Sites.

Log Files

We also collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information through our Internet log files, which record data such as user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Sites. This information may be used to analyze trends, to administer the Sites, to monitor use of our Sites, and to gather general demographic information. We may link this information to Personally Identifiable Information for these and other purposes, such as personalizing your experience on our Sites and evaluating our Sites and promotions in general.

Email or Refer a Friend

Through our referral tools for informing a friend about our Sites, we will automatically send your friend a one-time email containing the information you request to be sent. If you elect to use these referral tools, we will collect from you certain Personally Identifiable Information about your friend which you have provided, such as your friend’s name and email address.

What Do We Do With the Information We Collect?

In general, we use the information collected on our Sites to help us understand who uses our Sites and how they are used, to personalize your experience, to assist you in using our Sites, to improve our Sites, and for billing purposes.

If you become a registered user, subscribe to one of our Sites, or purchase Products from our online stores, we may use your information to send you a welcome email that may confirm your user name and password. If you “opt-in” we may send you electronic newsletters, contact you about our Products, services, information and news that may be of interest to you, and provide you with targeted feedback. If you no longer desire to receive these communications, we will provide you with an option to change your preferences. In addition, if you identify yourself to us by sending us an email with questions or comments, we may use your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or comments for future reference. We may also use the information collected to send you important service announcements and updates regarding our Sites or, if you are a subscriber, about your billing account status. You will not be able to unsubscribe from these service announcements and updates as they contain important information relevant to your use of our Sites.

In addition, if you become a registered user or subscribe to one of our Sites we may use your information to contact you by postal mail or text message about our Products, services, information and news that may be of interest to you, unless you notify us that you no longer desire to receive these communications.

We may also use the information gathered on and through our Sites to perform statistical analysis of user behavior, to analyze and evaluate issues relating to nutrition, weight loss, behavior and fitness, or to evaluate and improve our Sites. We may link some of this information to Personally Identifiable Information for internal purposes only or to assist you in your personal weight loss efforts.

When Do We Disclose Information To Third Parties?

Except as set forth below and elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, or as specifically agreed to by you, we will not disclose any information we gather from you on our Sites.

Affiliates

We may disclose information (including Personally Identifiable Information) about you to our Affiliates. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Affiliates” means any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with SlimGenics whether by ownership or otherwise. Any information relating to you that we provide to our Affiliates will be treated by those Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Laws and Legal Rights

We may also disclose your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with laws or regulations, a subpoena, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other valid legal process. We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms or any subscription agreement, or to protect the safety or security of our users, our Sites or the general public.

Third Parties and Advertisers

We may provide to third parties information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted, including where such information is combined with similar information of other users of our Sites. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique users who visit our Sites, the demographic breakdown of the registered users of our Sites, or the activities that visitors to our Sites engage in while on our Sites. The third parties to which we may provide this information may include independent providers of Products, potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.

We also may allow advertisers (“Advertisers“) to choose the users who will see their advertisements or promotional offers. You agree that we may provide any non-personal information we have collected from you to an Advertiser, so that Advertiser may select the appropriate audience for advertisements or offers. For example, we might use the fact you are located in Denver to show you ads or offers for Denver businesses, but we will not tell such businesses who you are.

In addition, if you have not opted out of our targeted advertising, you agree that we may share your personal information with Advertisers in order to deliver specific targeted advertising or offers to you (“Targeted Advertising“). If we enable Targeted Advertising for our users by default, you will be able to opt out of Targeted Advertising at any time by changing your personal settings. You may see certain ads on other websites if we participate in advertising networks administered by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the automated technologies described above, and they use this information to show you advertisements that are tailored to your individual interests. The information they collect includes information about your visits to our Sites, such as the pages you have viewed. This collection may take place both on our Sites and on third-party websites that participate in the relevant ad network, such as websites that feature advertisements delivered by the ad network. If you want to prevent third parties from delivering tailored advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative Consumer Opt-Out Page, and the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-out Page.

Outside Contractors

We may employ independent contractors and vendors (collectively, “Outside Contractors“) to provide specific services and products related to our Sites, such as hosting and maintaining our chat rooms, providing credit card processing and fraud screening, and developing applications for our Sites and e-mail services. These Outside Contractors may sometimes have limited access to information collected on our Sites, including your Personally Identifiable Information, in the course of providing products or services to us. Access to your Personally Identifiable Information by these Outside Contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary in order for the Outside Contractors to perform their limited function for us. We also require that these Outside Contractors (i) protect the privacy of your Personally Identifiable Information consistent with this Privacy Policy, and (ii) not use or disclose your Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose other than providing us with products or services for which we contracted.

Sale of Business

We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of our assets or of one or all of the SlimGenics Weight Control Centers, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy. We will notify users of any such transfer through notice on our site and through email.
