Nature’s Nurture operates naturesnurture.ca. It is Nature’s Nurture’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating this website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Nature’s Nurture collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Nature’s Nurture’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Nature’s Nurture’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Nature’s Nurture may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Nature’s Nurture also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on naturesnurture.ca. Nature’s Nurture only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Nature’s Nurture’s websites choose to interact with Nature’s Nurture in ways that require Nature’s Nurture to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Nature’s Nurture gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for our email list to provide an email address. Those who engage in transactions with Nature’s Nurture – by purchasing access to our printable products, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Nature’s Nurture collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Nature’s Nurture. Nature’s Nurture does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Nature’s Nurture may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Nature’s Nurture may monitor the comments on naturesnurture.ca or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Nature’s Nurture may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Nature’s Nurture does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Nature’s Nurture discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Nature’s Nurture’s behalf or to provide services available at Nature’s Nurture’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Nature’s Nurture’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Nature’s Nurture will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Nature’s Nurture discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Nature’s Nurture believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Nature’s Nurture, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Nature’s Nurture website and have supplied your email address, Nature’s Nurture may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Nature’s Nurture and our products. We primarily use our main opt-in list to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Nature’s Nurture takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
