Drink Your Carbs Privacy Policy

DYC, LLC (“DYC,” “we,” or “us”) values the privacy of our users. We take very seriously the need to respect your privacy and the security of any information you may share with us. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the data collection, use, and disclosure practices of DYC, LLC in connection with the Site, www.drinkyourcarbs.com, (“DYC” or the “Site”).

Information DYC Collects

We are committed to providing you a useful and enjoyable online experience. When you access the Site, we may collect information from your visit in order to personalize and improve upon your experience with us and to provide you with products and services, we collect your information from different sources:

DYC collects two types of information on the Site. “Personal Information,” is information that allows someone to identify or contact you, such as your name and e-mail address, as well as any information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing information. The second type, “Aggregate Data,” is data not associated with or linked to your Personal Information. Aggregate Data cannot be used to identify you. We collect Personal Information and Aggregate Data based on your use of the Site.

We don’t knowingly collect, maintain, or use information from individuals under the age permitted to consume alcoholic beverages in the jurisdiction or territory where they are located. If we find out we have unknowingly collected such information we will take commercially reasonable measures to delete that information from our system as soon as possible. We are not responsible for the collection and use of information by companies or individuals unaffiliated with us whose Sites may contain links to ours, including vendors where you may shop.

Please note that when you shop with a vendor who is linked to the Site, even though you may have started your visit with us, and even though our pages may still appear, your transactions are completed with a separate organization, not with us. We don’t share your information with them, but information you choose to share with them will fall under their privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We carefully select other organizations in an effort to bring you with value, but we cannot guarantee your satisfaction with these organizations.

Cookies

The Site may use cookies in several applications for navigational purposes. A cookie is a small text file placed on your hard drive (not on the Site) by a Web page server. Cookies make your Internet experience quicker and more convenient. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of the Site may not work properly if you do. Accepting a cookie from the Site does not give us access to any of your information.

IP Address


An “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases, your IP address stays the same from session to session, but if you use a consumer Internet access provider (such as EarthLink, Xfinity or AT&T) your IP address may vary from session to session. We track IP addresses solely in conjunction with session cookies to analyze our Web page traffic.

Action Tags


We use and allow third-party service providers to use single pixel GIFs (also known as action tags or Web beacons) on the Site and also in HTML-based e-mails to let us know whether e-mails sent by us have been opened by recipients (including by anyone to whom an e-mail has been forwarded). This information helps us assess the effectiveness of the Site and of certain communications and marketing campaigns.

Other Systems


Information is also collected from you when:
• You join the DYC mailing list.
• You interact with the message boards and post comments on the blog including Content as defined in the Terms of Use.
• You click on advertisements on the Web and via e-mails you receive from DYC.

Also, in some instances we may include certain tracking links that allow us to monitor whether you accessed specific content or advertisements. If you click on one of these links, we will record that click and certain activities on the Site page associated with that tracking link. We may use this information for various purposes, such as to conduct internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and clicking behavior and to customize the content and advertisements you see.

When you register with DYC, we may use Personal Information to:

• Present you with advertising on the Site, based on your interests.
• Improve the content and layout of DYC.
• Statistically analyze user behavior.
• Receive feedback on editorial content.
• Develop products, marketing, and promotions internally at DYC.
• Contact you regarding your account status or changes to our Terms and Conditions, including our Privacy Policy.

In addition, when you join the DYC mailing list, we will use your Personal Information to provide other services, including:

• Providing you with personalized information via e-mail and/or postal mail.
• Contacting you for feedback and surveys via e-mail and/or postal mail.
• Sending you general and administrative information about your DYC membership via e-mail and/or postal mail.
• Allowing you to participate in market-research activities through DYC.

DYC does not currently accept advertising and sponsorships. Nonetheless, DYC uses your Personal Information in the course of operating our business in several ways, which include:

• Providing your Personal Information to certain third-party service providers—such as companies that we use, for example, to electronically send DYC E-mails and to provide security for the data that you share with us—whose role is solely to provide operational support for DYC. These companies must agree NOT to use or disclose that information for any other purpose. DYC strives to ensure that any third-party service provider to which DYC discloses Personal Information is contractually obligated to use the Personal Information solely for the purposes for which it was disclosed, even though these third-party service providers are independent companies over which DYC exercises no control. DYC is not responsible for, and will not be liable for, their conduct, actions, omissions, information handling, or dissemination practices.
