• In connection with a substantial corporate transaction, such as the sale of our business, a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

Any third parties to whom we may disclose personal information may have their own privacy policies describing how they use and disclose personal information. Those policies will govern the use, handling, and disclosure of your personal information once we have shared it with those third parties, as described in this Privacy Policy.

These entities or their servers may be located inside or outside the United States.

Aggregated and non-personal information. We may share aggregated and non-personal information we collect under any of the above circumstances. We may also share it with third parties to develop and deliver targeted advertising on our websites and the websites of third parties. In addition, we may combine non-personal information we collect with additional non-personal information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers, and investors, to conduct general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors to our website and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not contain any personal information. It may be used to develop website content and services we hope you and other users find of interest and to target content and advertising. For Practitioners, we may share your business contact information with third parties, including but not limited to the business name, address, telephone number, email address, and name of the owner or proprietor of the business.

Third-party websites

There are several places on our website where you may click on a link to access other websites that do not operate under this Privacy Policy. For example, if you click on an advertisement or a search result on our website, you may be taken to a website that we do not control. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect information, including personal information, from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about your activities on those websites. Therefore, we recommend you consult the privacy statements of all third-party websites you visit by clicking on the “privacy” link typically located at the bottom of the webpage you visit.

How to access your information

If you have an online consumer account with us, you can review and update your personal information by contacting us. More information about how to contact us is provided below.

Your choices about the collection and use of your information

• You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but that may result in you being unable to use certain features of our website because such information may be required for you to register as a member of our directory service; to use our services; purchase products or services; participate in a contest, promotion, survey, or sweepstakes; ask a question, or initiate other transactions on our website.
• At any time, a consumer user can choose to no longer receive commercial or promotional emails or newsletters from us by clicking “unsubscribe” at the bottom of our emails and opting out. However, it may take up to 10 days for us to process an opt-out request. In addition, we may send you other types of transactional and relationship email communications, such as service announcements, administrative notices, and surveys, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.
• If you prefer not to have us share your postal mailing information with these selected providers of goods and services that may interest you, you can notify us at any time by emailing us at info@nhmetaphysical.com.

How we protect your personal information

We take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic, and procedural) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access personal information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. In addition, we use firewalls to help prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to your personal information.

We want you to feel confident using our website to transact business. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for information about protecting yourself against identity theft.

Blogs, bulletin boards, reviews, and chat rooms

We may provide areas on our websites where you can post information about yourself and others and communicate with others, post reviews of products, establishments, practitioners, and the like, or upload content (e.g., pictures, videos, audio files, etc.). Such postings are governed by our Terms & Conditions. In addition, such postings may appear on other websites or when searches are executed on the subject of your posting. Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable web pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post. Hence, we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. Once you have posted information, you may be unable to edit or delete such information.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is a general audience site, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
