MRK Enterprises, LLC. DBA Inches-A-Weigh's Privacy Policy - An Overview
MRK Enterprises, LLC. DBA Inches-A-Weigh is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of consumers of its interactive products and services. Throughout cyberspace, we want to contribute to providing a safe and secure environment for consumers.
While this privacy policy applies to the InchesAWeighRichmond.com site and all of the other Internet-accessible MRK Enterprises, LLC. DBA Inches-A-Weigh-branded services, we will refer here only to InchesAWeighRichmond.com to make reading this policy easier. The purpose of this InchesAWeighRichmond.com privacy policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to InchesAWeighRichmond.com, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit InchesAWeighRichmond.com, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Finally, please note that this policy applies only to InchesAWeighRichmond.com and Web sites that carry the InchesAWeighRichmond.com brand, and not to other companies' or organizations' Web sites to which we link. We have clearly marked InchesAWeighRichmond.com and these branded Web sites with our name so you know where this policy applies.
Information For All InchesAWeighRichmond.com Visitors
In general, our service automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to InchesAWeighRichmond.com and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible.Users of the Virtual Mall
By clicking on any of the store links found on the Virtual Mall webpages you will leave the Inches-A-Weigh Richmond website passing through an intermediary site and ending on the intended store website. Once at the store website, the store will follow its own Privacy Policy, and that document should be reviewed if you have any questions in that regard. The intermediary site, owned and operated by LinkShare will automatically record the IP (Internet Protocol) “address” of the browser you are using. The IP address simply identifies the browser used, and does not permit identification of the individual using the browser. In addition, a “cookie” may be placed on the hard drive of your computer through your Web browser. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that enable the systems used by the Web site operator who places the cookie to recognize the visitor's browser. Cookies are used in order to determine whether and when a "cookied" Web browser is used to return to the Advertiser's site after a prior visit. The cookies that are currently used permit LinkShare to determine when a browser is used to make repeat visits or click-throughs to a Web site, but do not permit them to determine the identity of any user of that browser or gather any other personally identifiable information about that user, such as postal address, email address, phone number, social security number or any credit card number. LinkShare reserves the right to use additional cookies in the future.Information For Inches-A-Weigh Richmond Weight Loss Program Members Who Choose To Use Our Interactive Pages
If you are a member of the Inches-A-Weigh Richmond Weight Loss Program and you choose to use the password protected interactive pages, the data you enter regarding height, weight, blood pressure and various lab tests are linked to a unique identifier and stored on a server so that it is linked to you specifically to enable subsequent retrieval. This information may be used in the aggregate without personal identifying information to determine the presence or absence of any relationships between usage of the site or any of its components, and outcomes, such as weight loss or blood pressure. If appropriate, this aggregated information and analysis may be submitted for publication in a scientific journal or other media. We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, never information about you personally, to our InchesAWeighRichmond.com partners about how our members, collectively, use InchesAWeighRichmond.com. We do this so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible Web experience as well.
Information About You
We may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use a service. We will need certain information -- such as name, Internet address, user ID or member name, billing address, type of computer, credit card number -- in order to provide that service or product to you. We may also use that information to let you know of additional products and services about which you might be interested. We may ask you for information about your interests so that both you and we can take advantage of the interactivity of the online medium, but you may always choose to respond or not.
Disclosure
We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to InchesAWeighRichmond.com or information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any outside companies. But as we mention above, we may share with our Web site partners aggregated statistical "ratings" information about the use of InchesAWeighRichmond.com.
