At HealthSupplementAdvisor.com, we are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website or use our services. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices.
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information from users:
- Personal Identifiable Information (PII): This includes details such as your name, email address, phone number, and physical address. You may provide this information when registering for an account, subscribing to our newsletter, making a purchase, or participating in activities like contests and forums.
- Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII): This includes details like your browser type, IP address, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you access. We collect this information using cookies and other tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience.
How We Collect Information
We gather information through several means:
- Directly from you when you register, make a purchase, or engage with features such as sweepstakes, message boards, or chat rooms.
- Automatically through cookies and similar technologies. These allow us to recognize returning users, save login credentials, and personalize content and advertisements.
We may use third-party advertising services that also collect Non-PII during your visit. For example, Google’s DoubleClick DART cookie enables us to serve ads tailored to your interests. You can opt-out of this via Google’s ad settings.

We do not sell, rent, or share your PII with unauthorized third parties. However, we may share information with trusted partners to perform functions like hosting our website, analyzing data, or processing payments. These partners are required to maintain your information securely and use it only for the agreed-upon purpose.
