What This Privacy Policy Covers

* This policy covers how SelfShape treats personal information that SelfShape collects and receives, including information related to your past use of SelfShape products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
* This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that SelfShape does not own or control, or to people that SelfShape does not employ or manage.

Information Collection and Use

General

* SelfShape collects personal information when you register with SelfShape, when you use SelfShape products or services, when you visit SelfShape pages or the pages of certain SelfShape partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes. SelfShape may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.
* When you register we ask for information such as your name, email address, birth date, gender, zip code, occupation, industry, and personal interests. Once you register with SelfShape and sign in to our services, you are not anonymous to us.
* SelfShape collects information about your transactions with us.
* SelfShape automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, SelfShape cookie information, and the page you request.
* SelfShape uses information for the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
* SelfShape does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
o We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with SelfShape under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help SelfShape communicate with you about offers from SelfShape and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
o We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing SelfShape to collect and use their child's information without consenting to SelfShape sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes;
o We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
o We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of SelfShape's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
o We transfer information about you if SelfShape is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, SelfShape will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
* SelfShape displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
o SelfShape does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
o SelfShape advertisers include financial service providers (such as banks, insurance agents, stock brokers and mortgage lenders) and non-financial companies (such as stores, airlines, and software companies).
* SelfShape works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service providers in different industries and categories of business. For more information regarding providers of products or services that you've requested please read our detailed reference links.

Cookies

* SelfShape may set and access SelfShape cookies on your computer.
* SelfShape lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to SelfShape's cookies.
* SelfShape uses web beacons to access SelfShape cookies inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with SelfShape products and services.
