Privacy Policy
We recognize that your privacy is very
important.
We offer a number of services that do not require you to
register for an account or provide any personal information to
us, such as Google Search. In order to provide our full range
of services, we may collect the following types of
information:
- Information you provide – We may
ask you for personal information (such as your name, email
address and an account password). For certain services,
such as our advertising programs, we also request credit
card or other payment account information which we maintain
in encrypted form on secure servers. We may combine the
information you submit under your account with information
from other services or third parties in order to
provide you with a better experience and to improve the
quality of our services. For certain services, we may give
you the opportunity to opt out of combining such
information.
- Cookies – When you visit this web site
(and most other sites), a cookie – a small file containing
a string of characters – may be sent to your computer or
other device that uniquely identifies your browser. We use
cookies to improve the quality of our service, including
for storing user preferences, improving search results and
ad selection, and tracking user trends, such as how people
search. Google also uses cookies in its advertising
services to help advertisers and publishers serve and
manage ads across the web. We may set one or more cookies
in your browser when you visit a website, including Google
sites that use our advertising cookies, and view or click
on an ad supported by Google’s advertising services.
- Log information – When you access our
site, our servers automatically record information that
your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These
server logs may include information such as your web
request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser
language, the date and time of your request and one or more
cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
- Links – We may present links in a
format that enables us to keep track of whether these links
have been followed. We use this information to improve the
quality of our search technology, customized content and
advertising.
- Other sites – This Privacy Policy
applies to our web pages only. We do not exercise control
over the sites displayed as search results, sites that
include applications, products or services, or links
from within our various services. These other sites may
place their own cookies or other files on your computer,
collect data or solicit personal information from you.
We only process personal information for the purposes
described in this Privacy Policy and/or the supplementary
privacy notices for specific services. In addition to the
above, such purposes include:
- Providing our services, including the display of
customized content and advertising;
- Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain,
protect and improve our services;
- Ensuring the technical functioning of our network;
- Protecting the rights or property of Google or our
users; and
- Developing new services.
You can find more information about how we process personal
information by referring to the supplementary privacy notices
for particular services.
We may process personal information on our servers in the
United States of America and in other countries. In some cases,
we process personal information on a server outside your own
country. We may process personal information to provide our own
services. In some cases, we may process personal information on
behalf of and according to the instructions of a third party,
such as our advertising partners.
Choices for personal information
When you sign up for a particular service that requires
registration, we ask you to provide personal information. If we
use this information in a manner different than the purpose for
which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior
to such use.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes
other than those described in this Privacy Policy and/or in the
specific service privacy notices, we will offer you an
effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for
those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive
information for purposes other than those described in this
Privacy Policy and/or in the supplementary service privacy
notices, unless we have obtained your prior consent.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but
you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate
when a cookie is being sent. However, some Google features and
services may not function properly if your cookies are
disabled.
You can decline to submit personal information to any of our
services, in which case we may not be able to provide
those services to you.
Information sharing
Weonly share personal information with other companies or
individuals in the following limited circumstances:
- We have your consent. We require opt-in consent for the
sharing of any sensitive personal information.
- We provide such information to our subsidiaries,
affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons
for the purpose of processing personal information on our
behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such
information based on our instructions and in compliance
with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate
confidentiality and security measures.
- We have a good faith belief that access, use,
preservation or disclosure of such information is
reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law,
regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental
request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including
investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect,
prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical
issues, or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property
or safety of Google, its users or the public as required or
permitted by law.
If Omega-3-Essentials.com becomes involved in a merger,
acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets,
we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information
involved in such transactions and provide notice before
personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a
different privacy policy.
We may share with third parties certain pieces of
aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of
users who searched for a particular term, for example, or how
many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such
information does not identify you individually.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against
unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure
or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our
data collection, storage and processing practices and security
measures, as well as physical security measures to guard
against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal
data.
We restrict access to personal information to Google
employees, contractors and agents who need to know that
information in order to operate, develop or improve our
services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality
obligations and may be subject to discipline, including
termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet
these obligations.
Data integrity
We process personal information only for the purposes
for which it was collected and in accordance with this Privacy
Policy or any applicable service-specific privacy notice. We
review our data collection, storage and processing practices to
ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal
information needed to provide or improve our services or as
otherwise permitted under this Policy. We take reasonable steps
to ensure that the personal information we process is accurate,
complete, and current, but we depend on our users to update or
correct their personal information whenever necessary.
Accessing and updating personal
information
When you use our services, we make good faith efforts
to provide you with access to your personal information and
either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete
such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be
retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.
We ask individual users to identify themselves and the
information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed
before processing such requests, and we may decline to process
requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic,
require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the
privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for
instance, requests concerning information residing on backup
tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required.
In any case where we provide information access and
correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if
doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our
services have different procedures to access, correct or delete
users’ personal information. We provide the details for these
procedures in the specific privacy notices or FAQs for these
services.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to
time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy
without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes
will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Privacy Policy
changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we
will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain
services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes).
