When you browse our Site.
Our Site uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies, including those installed by third parties (such as Google Analytics). These technologies are typically used to provide essential features, improve your experience when using our Site, and allow us to learn more about how users interact with our Site. See below for more information on our use of cookies.
Our servers may identify users by their IP address (e.g. to determine the city from which you access the Site). An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. We may also log click-stream data for purposes of system administration, to improve our Site, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and/or other internal uses related to the Site. Click-stream data is information collected by our computers when you request pages from the Site. Click-stream data may include information such as the page served, the time, the source and type of browser making the request, the most recent page view, and other non-personal information. This data helps us analyze how visitors arrive at our Site, what type of content is most popular, what type of visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of properties, advertising, and the like.
When you post a Success Story, or comment on a post
When you post a Success Story, or comment on a post, you may be asked to provide your email, name, your comment or story, and in the case of a success story, a photo. We do not share or publicize your email address and use it only to contact you about your post.

Cookies and tracking
Our Site may use cookies, web beacons and similar tracking technologies. These technologies are widely used for security, to learn about and improve upon how users navigate a website, to enable certain features, or to deliver relevant advertising content to you on the web. Cookies are small data files that are transferred to your hard drive when your browser settings permit the acceptance of cookies. Similar technologies, such as web beacons or pixel tags function through the use of small files, such as a GIF or PNG, which are opened on a page or in an email. The request for these files from a server reveals to the operator of that server (which may be a third party) certain information, such as your browser type, IP address, and other information. To learn more about cookies and similar tracking technologies, and how they can affect your privacy, visit allaboutcookies.org.
By tracking how and when you use our Site, these technologies help us determine which features and content on our Site are most important to our visitors. Cookies may also allow our Site or others to display advertising that may interest you. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you can turn off cookies using your browser’s settings menu; however, this may eliminate our ability to provide you with a personalized or user-friendly experience on our Site.
Please note, most modern browsers include a “do not track” feature that may help protect your privacy. However, because there is not yet a defined response to do-not-track requests, our Site does not respond to your browser’s do-not-track request. If you wish to take steps to opt-out of tracking by certain online advertisers, you can visit the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at http://www.aboutads.info/choices. To learn more about, or to opt-out of Google’s analytic and marketing services, visit Google Analytics Terms of Use, the Google Privacy Policy, or Google Analytics Opt-out.
With whom may we share your information?
We may provide your Personal Information to certain third-party service providers who provide operational support for DYC, for example, to providers who manage our monthly newsletter. We make a reasonable effort to ensure these providers abide by our data protection practices and do not share you information with others. However, DYC is not responsible for, and will not be liable for, the conduct, actions, omissions, information handling, or dissemination practices of our third-party providers. In addition, in the event that we go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, liquidation or sale of all or a portion of our assets, customer information may be part of the assets transferred, or may be disclosed (subject to confidentiality restrictions) during the due diligence process.
In limited circumstances, we may, without your consent, access and disclose your Personal Information, any communications sent or received by you, and any other information that we may have about you to the extent we believe such disclosure is required by law, regulation, rule or court order; pursuant to requests from governmental, regulatory or administrative agencies or law enforcement authorities; or to prevent, investigate, identify persons or organizations potentially involved in, or take any action regarding suspected fraud, violations of our Terms of Use, or activity that appears to us to be illegal or we believe may expose us to legal liability. Additionally, we may disclose Personal Information in situations that we believe to be emergencies involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person or property if we believe that your information in any way relates to that threat.
To obtain a list of the Personal Information that DYC holds about you, or for residents of California (as required by California law) the Personal Information DYC has disclosed about you to third parties for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, please send a written, signed request to: DYC, attention: info@drinkyourcarbs.com.
