Information We Collect
In general, you may visit many pages of the website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.  We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit our website and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous unless they voluntarily tell us who they are.

The information collected by FluTrends International Corporation and its affiliated companies falls into two categories: (1) information voluntarily supplied by visitors to this website and (2) tracking information recorded as visitors navigate through the website.  Some of this information is personally identifiable information, but much of it is not.  “Personal Information” means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home.

Collection and Use of Information

On some pages, you can order products. The Personal Information collected when ordering can include:  

• Name
• Address
• E-mail
• Phone number
• Credit/Debit Card Information and Expiration Date
• Birthdate
• Gender
• Personal Interests

Sometimes (such as when you order a product, subscribe to a service or publication, register for or participate in informational promotions and downloads) we will ask you to set up an account and provide Personal Information.  We maintain a record of your online purchases.  If you purchase products or services on our website, we or our service providers may collect additional personal or other information from you, such as your shipping information.  Personal Information will be released to third parties as necessary to complete the transaction or to otherwise fulfill your order.  For example, credit card transactions are handled by a third-party service provider, which requires access to the credit card number and other personal information to verify the credit card number and process transactions.

Your Personal Information enables us to provide you with information you have requested, provide you with updates regarding the status of your transactions, fulfill your purchases and provide you with information about future products and services that may suit your particular interests.  We also use your Personal Information to help identify you if you lose your password.

[3] We may disclose information if you have given us permission to do so, for example, by voluntarily entering a poll or making a purchase on our website, or to ship your purchases through an appropriate third-party service provider.  We may share your personal information with our contractors, consultants, or professional advisors to the extent necessary for them to perform services on our behalf and subject to reasonable confidentiality obligations.  We may also send to you, from time to time, email or other communications containing information about us or other matters (including third-party products or services) we believe will interest you.  We may enter into agreements with other companies or individuals to perform functions on our behalf.  These functions may include sending promotional e-mails on our behalf to their or our customers; serving advertisements on our behalf, analyzing data; providing marketing assistance; processing credit card or debit card payments; and fulfilling and delivering orders. We may sell, license, or share your Personal Information with third parties for various marketing purposes, including but not limited to telemarketing, fax marketing, e-mail marketing, text messaging, and direct mail.  Your consent will be effective regardless of whether the number you have provided: (a) is a home, business, or cell phone line; and/or (b) is or will be registered on any state or federal Do-Not-Call (DNC) list, and shall remain in effect until you opt out (see below).  If FluTrends International Corporation or any of its assets are acquired by or merged with another entity, all information collected by us will be one of the transferred assets. We may share non-personal, summary, or aggregate customer data with partners and other third parties.

[4] Whether or not you choose to provide the information we request is entirely up to you.  But if you choose not to provide such information, you may be unable to purchase products, or access certain services, offers and content on the website.

Our systems will remember some of this information the next time you log in and use our website, but you can always review and change your information by following the instructions below under Changes to Information in this Privacy Policy.

At any time you may ask us to stop sending you email and other information by contacting support@flutrends.com.  Also, each unsolicited email we send will tell you how to decline further email.  Please note that, from time to time, we may e-mail or instant message our users important information regarding the website and/or your account; our users may not opt out of receiving such information.
