  1. Collection and Use of Personal Information
    1. Account Information. When you establish your RivalHealth™ account or purchase other goods or services from our Site, we require you to provide us with your personal information, including your name, e-mail address, physical address, and birth date.

When purchasing DVDs or our other products or services, you may be required also to provide a valid credit card or PayPal account number and expiration date.

    4. Use of Cookies. We or our business partners may use "cookies" in connection with the Site. Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site places on an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purpose and/or to enhance a user's experience. You may adjust your computer to disallow the storing of cookies. However, certain aspects of our Site may not function properly if cookies are disabled. We are not responsible for the use of cookies by other Web sites that are accessed through us.
    5. Contests and Surveys. We may run contests and promotions and conduct online surveys in which we ask you for contact information.

This vendor may target advertisements not only on the Site but on other web sites with which the vendor has a relationship.

      If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, you can limit the customization of the advertising we deliver to you. You can opt-out of our targeted advertising by sending an email to info@rivalhealth.com requesting to have your email removed from the targeted advertising list.

    3. Other Uses. We may also:
      1. Disclose your personal information to companies who work on behalf of or with RivalHealth™ to provide a product or service to you that you have requested, such as having an outside company mail you a DVD.

      2. Enhance or merge the personal information collected by us with data received from third parties.
