2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a
standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are
Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is
used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the
Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This information is
collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you
as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to
Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing customer service and making
available other products and services to our customers and prospective
customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify
you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we
think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product and service
offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate standards
designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers’ personal
information. As a customer, you will be given the opportunity, at least once
annually, to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of
Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to
access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s
Web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a
user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web
site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s
transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from
Web page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and
Web server logs to gather information about our Web site users’ browsing
activities, in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our
customers. This information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in
the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site to better
meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical
statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by
users to our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs
allow us to count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site’s
visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual
email address or any personally identifying information about you although they
do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such
responses to you.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
From
time to time you may notice offers from outside companies advertised on our Web
site. We take measures to select product or service providers that are
responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers. However, we
cannot make any representations about the practices and policies of these
companies.
Sharing Information with Strategic Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with third
parties who may be given access to personal information including your name,
address, telephone number and email for the purpose of providing you information
regarding products and services that we think will be of interest to you. In
connection with strategic marketing alliances or partnerships, we will retain
all ownership rights to the information, and we will not share information
regarding your social security number or other personal financial data.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify
you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special offers we
think you will find valuable. As our client, you will be given the opportunity
to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by clicking on a
response box when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email request at
privacy@developmentalfitness.com.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on our Web
site, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all information
you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and
decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we
advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting
the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an
unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security. We utilize
encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal
information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental
loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices.
Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance
with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality
and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our
corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the
protection of customer information. In general, our business practices limit
employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of
such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable
information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
support@developmentalfitness.com.

traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates or reputable
third parties, but this information will not include personally identifying

other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the
protection of our legal rights.
