By accessing the Services or submitting your personally identifiable information or non-identifying information about you in connection with your use of the Services, you agree to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and processing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, do not submit information through the Site.
What We Collect
“Personal Information”
Nurture Life collects Personal Information about you and your family when you voluntarily submit that information to us. “Personal Information” means information that identifies you, that is related to you, that describes you, or is linked with you. This includes your name, address, telephone number, credit card information, email address, shipping address, username, password, dietary preferences and allergens, order preferences and history, children’s ages, if you connect through social media sites, your interests and social connections and IP address. You voluntarily submit that information to us (i) by registering as a subscriber on the Site, (ii) by signing up for our newsletter or Blog, (iii) through the “Contact Us” page, or (iv) by email or telephone. Other information that we may collect from you include your interests and social connections if you connect to us through a social media site.
Cookies
Like many companies, we may store some information on your mobile device or computer hard drive as a “cookie” or similar type of file. “Cookies” are small computer files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer or mobile device’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and to capture and remember certain information, such as a user ID, user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using the Services. Cookies are not themselves personally identifiable, but may be linked to Personal Information that you provide to us through your interaction with the Services. We use this information to help us enhance the efficiency and usefulness of the Services and to improve customer service. If you object to the use of cookies, you will not be able to use our Site.
Children’s Information
Nurture Life does not intend for children under 16 to use the Site or to submit information—our Site is directed to parents and authorized caregivers. You have the option to provide your children’s names (but you are free to use an alias), ages and dietary preferences if you would like us to provide a more tailored experience to your specific family’s needs, for example, allowing us to suggest appropriate types of meals and portion sizes, and personalized offers and communications. By submitting information about the children in your family, you represent to us that you have the legal right to disclose this information to us for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Usage Data
When you use our Site or subscribe to our Service, we may automatically collect certain non-identifying information about you or “Usage Data,” such as your movement about the Site, the type of browser or operating system you use, the domain name of the website from which you linked to our Site and IP address.

If you send us a testimonial, reviews, compliment, or other positive feedback, we may publish it, but we will only identify you by first name, last initial, photo provided by you, city and state and the ages of the children associated with your account; for example: “Julie K, Chicago IL (kids 3 and 6).”
How We Use Personal Information
Our Uses
We use the Personal Information that we collect to fulfill the orders you place through our Service, to operate, improve and personalize the Services, to provide customer service, to customize our advertising and marketing, to help us develop our new products and services and improve our existing products and services; to detect, prevent and mitigate fraudulent or illegal activities; and to enforce our Site’s Terms or other applicable policies.

It will still be subject to this Privacy Policy unless and until it is amended in accordance with its terms.

Your California Privacy Rights
California residents may exercise certain privacy rights pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. Your right to submit certain requests to us as a California resident are described below. You may designate an authorized agent to make the requests below on your behalf. An authorized agent must submit proof to us that he or she has been authorized by you to act on your behalf, and you will need to verify your identity directly with us.
Verification of Requests
Please note that when submitting a request, you will be asked to provide information to verify your identity or authority to make the request before action is taken.
We will generally try to avoid requesting additional information from you for the purpose of verification, but we may need to do so if we cannot verify your identity based on the information already maintained by us. If we request additional information to verify your identity, it will be for that purpose only, and will be deleted as soon as practical after processing the request, except as otherwise provided by law. Verification is required in order to confirm that the person submitting the request to know or request to delete is the person to whom the information relates, and to prevent unauthorized access or deletion of information. The specific steps taken to verify the identity of the requesting person may vary based on the nature of the request, including the type, sensitivity and value of the information requested, the risk of harm posed by unauthorized access or deletion, the likelihood that fraudulent or malicious actors may seek the information, the robustness of personal information provided to verify your identity, the nature of our business relationship with you, and available technology for verification.
You may designate an authorized agent to make the requests below on your behalf. An authorized agent must submit proof to us that he or she has been authorized by you to act on your behalf, and you will need to verify your identity directly with us through the process described below.
The following generally describes the verification processes we use:
Password Protected Accounts. If you have a password-protected account with us, we may use existing authentication practices to verify your identity, but will require re-authentication before disclosing or deleting data. If we suspect fraudulent or malicious activity relating to your account, we will require further verification (as described below) before complying with a request to know or delete.
Verification for Non-Accountholders. If you do not have, or cannot access, a password-protected account with us, we will generally verify your identity as follows:
For requests to know categories of personal information, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty by matching at least two data points provided by you with reliable data points maintained by us.
For requests to know specific pieces of personal information, we will verify your identity to a reasonably high degree of certainty by matching at least three data points provided by you with reliable data points maintained by us. We will also require a declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, that the person requesting the information is the person whose information is the subject of the request or that person’s authorized representative. We will maintain all signed declarations as part of our records.
For requests to delete personal information, we will verify your identity to a reasonable degree or a reasonably high degree of certainty depending on the sensitivity of the personal information and the risk of harm posed by unauthorized deletion. We will act in good faith when determining the appropriate standard to apply.
If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify your identity, we will state so in response to a request to know or delete personal information, including an explanation of why we have no reasonable method to verify your identity.
Right To Request More Information
We generally describe in this privacy policy how we collect, use, and share your personal information. In addition to what is described above, if you are a California resident, you also have the right to request more information regarding the following, to the extent applicable in the past 12 months:

Please note that due to the different requirements of the applicable laws, our response times may vary depending on the specific type(s) of information sought. We respond to all verifiable requests for information as soon as we reasonably can, and no later than legally required.
In connection with submission of your request, we will take steps to verify your identity as outlined below, and you will need to verify your identity before action is taken.
Right To Request Deletion Of Your Personal Information
You have the right to request that we delete your personal information collected or maintained by us, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and verify your request, we will let you know what, if any, personal information we can delete from our records, and we will direct any service providers with whom we shared your personal information to also delete your personal information from their records. There may be circumstances where we cannot delete your personal information or direct service providers to delete your personal information from their records. For example, if we need to: (1) retain your personal information to complete a transaction or provide a good or service; (2) detect security incidents; (3) protect against unlawful activities; (4) identify, debug or repair errors; or (5) comply with a legal obligation. You may submit a request to delete your personal information by calling us at (877) 988-8851, emailing us at support@nurturelife.com, or submitting a completed form available here https://www.nurturelife.com/info-request/.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of California Resident’s Privacy Rights
In addition to the rights listed above, by exercising any of the above listed privacy rights conferred by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, you have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us. This means that, consistent with California law, we will not deny providing goods or services to you, charge you different prices or provide a different level or quality of goods and services to you unless those differences are related to the value of your information.
Your Nevada Privacy Rights
We do not and will not sell your personal information to third parties. As such, there is no need to submit a request for us not to sell your personal information.
If you have any questions, please contact us at our designated request address at (877) 988-8851 or support@nurturelife.com

Definitions
- Biometric Identifier: means a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or scan of hand or face geometry, and may also include an individual’s voice. Biometric identifiers do not include, amongst other information, writing samples, photographs, tattoo descriptions, or physical descriptions such as weight, hair color or eye color.
