Information Collected
In general, you can visit this Web site without telling us who you are
or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect
the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. Our web
servers also seek (as many Web sites do) to place a "cookie" (a small
data file) on your computer's hard drive which allows the server to
determine the computer when it visits again, in order to track
statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain
areas of our site, and to Maximized Living promotions on other sites.
This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data, and
the information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes,
such as to improve site navigation and to measure the effectiveness of
our promotional placements, and is not shared with anyone other than
Maximized Living affiliates and contractors who assist Maximized Living
in these efforts and are bound to confidentiality. However, if you
prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them
or to alert you before one is placed.
In addition, there are portions of this Web site where we may need to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with certain information you request. The information collected from you may include your name, address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail address. For electronic access to annual reports and proxy statements, we collect your tax identification number to verify your shareholder status. For our supplier diversity site, we necessarily collect information about gender and ethnicity, such as whether your business is female-owned.
This Web site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.
Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally
identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits,
average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use this
information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content
of our site.
When other information is collected from you, such as your name and e-mail address, we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to process your request (such as to receive electronic annual reports or to be added to our supplier diversity database). This information may be shared with other Maximized Living businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.
We may share the personal information you provide with other companies we have hired to provide services for us. These companies - our vendors - are contractually bound to use personal information we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to any third-parties for their marketing use. We will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).
If you register with one of Maximized Living business units online, they may use this information to provide you with custom information about Maximized Living s offerings in support of your business needs. They may also seek to place a "cookie" (small data file) as discussed above in order to provide you with tailored information. You should review the privacy policy associated with that Maximized Living business' Web site for further information about that Maximized Living business' privacy practices.
Links to Other Sites
Maximized Living web site may contain links to other sites such as
Maximized Living distributors and sales affiliates. While we try to
link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for
privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy
practices employed by other sites.
Security of Collected Information
We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards
to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate
access. We restrict access to information about you to those Maximized
Living workers who need to know the information to respond to your
inquiry or request. Workers who misuse personal information are subject
to disciplinary action.
