Your use of the Services is at all times subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
Privacy Highlights

We collect your website Usage Data, Registration Information, and Health Information including your urine sample (collectively “Personal Information”) in order to provide our Services.

We will not sell your data or share it with any public database.
To the extent we notify you of different or additional privacy policies or practices those additional terms shall govern such data collection and use.

2. Information collected from you. Through the Services, we may ask you to provide two general categories of Personal Information:

Information about Interest-Based Advertisements
We may serve advertisements, and also allow third-party ad networks, including third-party ad servers, ad agencies, ad technology vendors and research firms, to serve advertisements through the Services. These advertisements may be targeted to users who fit certain general profile categories or display certain preferences or behaviors (“Interest-Based Ads”). Information for Interest-Based Ads (including personal information) may be provided to us by you, or derived from the usage patterns of particular users on the Services and/or services of third parties. Such information may be gathered through tracking users’ activities across time and unaffiliated properties, including when you leave the Services. To accomplish this, we or our service providers may deliver Cookies, including a file (known as a “web beacon”) from an ad network to you through the Services. Web beacons allow ad networks to provide anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Web beacons allow ad networks to view, edit or set their own Cookies on your browser, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
