through the use of Cookies. If you choose to register with our website for newsletters or interactive tools or other services, we require you to submit Personally Identifiable Information. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personally Identifiable Information

Most browser software can be set to reject all Cookies. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject Cookies in the "Help" section of the toolbar. If you reject our Cookies, certain of the functions and conveniences of our Web

We collect Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to us when you register as a member of Posture-cize.com and/or when you update your member profile. We use the Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to respond to your questions, provide you the specific
services you select, send you emails about website maintenance and updates, and inform you of significant changes to this Privacy Policy.
At registration and at various times as you use Posture-cize.com, you will be given the option of receiving recurring informational/promotional newsletters via e-mail from Posture-cize.com and/or directly from third parties. These e-mails will not contain Personal Health Information.
At the time you sign up for our e-mail newsletters or any time thereafter, you can choose to Opt-out from receiving additional promotional e-mails from Posture-cize.com or Marilynn Larkin Fitness Inc.
In order to subscribe to such newsletters via e-mail, we need your contact information, such as name and e-mail address. You can unsubscribe from the newsletters by simply clicking on the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any e-mail newsletter. An e-mail
to our automated unsubscribe service will be created on your computer. Click the "send" button. You will then be unsubscribed from that newsletter within 10 business days. You may also unsubscribe or change any of your e-mail preferences by clicking on the applicable

In some cases, when you click on a link or an advertisement in an e-mail or newsletter, your browser may be momentarily directed to the website of a third party which, acting on behalf of Posture-cize.com, notes or "counts" your response to the e-mail
or newsletter before re-directing your browser to your selected destination; this re-direction process will not be apparent to you.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to content, business information, ideas, concepts or inventions that you send to Posture-cize.com by e-mail. If you want to keep content or business information, ideas, concepts or inventions private or proprietary, do not send them in
an e-mail to Posture-cize.com. We try to answer every email within 48 business hours, but are not always able to do so.
As a service to our users, Posture-cize.com may feature message boards, blogs, and other public forums where users can share information or post questions for experts to answer.
Any information shared (including Personally Identifiable and Personal Health Information) that you reveal in a blog, message board, or online discussion is by design open to the public and is not a private, secure service. You should think carefully before
disclosing any Personally Identifiable Information in any public forum. What you have written may be seen, disclosed to or collected by third parties and may be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes.
After you have registered as a member of Posture-cize.com, you may choose to use certain Posture-cize.com interactive content, tools and services that may ask you to voluntarily provide other types of information about yourself.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Neither Posture-cize.com nor any of its services are designed or intended to attract children under the age of 13. We operate our sites in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and will not knowingly
collect or use personally-identifiable information from anyone under 13 years of age. In the event that we learn we have collected any personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information from our database
as quickly as possible.
From time to time the Posture-cize.com market research department, or its operations contractors acting on its behalf, conducts online research surveys in order to gather feedback about our site, our products, our sponsors, and opinions, through e-mail invitations, pop-up surveys
and online focus groups.
When participating in a survey, we may ask you to submit Personally Identifiable Information. This Personally Identifiable Information is used for research purposes, and is not used for sales solicitations. When a survey is sponsored by a third party, Aggregate
Information of the survey results is reported to the sponsor. Personally Identifiable Information collected through market research will be used only by Posture-cize.com and its service providers and contractors and will not be given or sold to a third party without your consent
or as otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy. For market research surveys we will not knowingly accept survey responses from or conduct interviews with any person under the age of 18. Some surveys may provide remuneration to participants such as a small cash fee for your
time or an entry into a sweepstakes for a larger prize. Each survey will disclose whether or not it is a paid survey.
In addition to collecting survey responses from our members, Cookies may be used to authenticate respondents or to help you pick up where you left off in a survey. If you have Cookies disabled you may not be able to participate in some studies. Cookies may be used
to connect survey data with Posture-cize.com site usage characteristics. You will be notified when we would like to use Cookies in this way and your consent will be requested for these Cookies.
As our business continues to develop and grow, we may enter transactions to buy or sell certain assets. In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred business assets to which the purchasing company will have full access and rights of use.
We take the security of your personal information very seriously and are constantly improving our efforts to protect it. We use encryption methods so that each transaction takes place in the most secure environment possible. Encryption is the method by which your personal information,
such as your credit card number, is scrambled and encoded while traveling through cyberspace. Once it has safely reached our secure internal environment, we decode the information to complete your transaction. We store information you provide us on our secure servers. Access
to all of our users' information is restricted only to company representatives who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a billing clerk or a customer service representative).
No electronic communication over the Internet, however, can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Though we take great care to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you submit to us, and you do so at
your own risk. We do not share your credit card number with other parties, other than those involved with the administration of your purchase.
You can take steps to secure your personal information, for example, by maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or account information. Also, when you are finished at valueinvestorinsight.com, sign off and close your browser window. This helps ensure that
someone cannot pose as you online, which is especially important if you are at a computer accessible to others, such as in a library, a school or your office.
We may change this policy statement at any time, but will notify you in advance of any material changes. Your continued use means that you accept any new or modified terms and conditions. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any actions, claims, proceedings, or liabilities
arising out of your violation of these terms and conditions.
