CareNatural Inc. (“CareNatural”) values the trust that our customers place in us by providing us with their personal information.  This privacy policy sets out how CareNatural uses and protects any information that you provide to CareNatural when you use this website.  By using this website, you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this privacy policy. 

What Information We Collect
When you register online with CareNatural and/or shop with us, we ask for your name, telephone number(s), home address, email address and, occasionally in connection with promotions, prize giveaways or newsletters, we may ask your age or the month and date of your birth.  When you make a purchase on our site, we ask for your delivery address, billing address and payment method details.  We may also obtain information about your usage of our website and product purchases to help us improve our service to you.  If you are applying for Care Group membership, personal SSN will be required for personal income tax purposes per IRS regulations.

How We Use Information Collected
All of the information we collect via our website or through email or telephone correspondence with you is used to fulfill your order, notify you about important changes to our website or services, notify you of special promotions, and constantly improve our service.  We may use service providers (i.e. credit card processors, delivery companies) to assist us in processing your order and, if so, we will provide them only with the information needed to perform the particular services.  We only use service providers with privacy policies that are consistent with our privacy policy. 

We may, from time to time, send you information about our products, details of promotions and special offers via email or regular mail.  Your information is unique to CareNatural, it will not be shared with other company or organization.

To serve you better, we may combine information you give us online, through our catalogs or through other sources.  We may also combine that information with publicly available information and information we receive from or cross-reference with others through the cooperative databases.  We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, to communicate with you about our products that may be of interest to you, and for other promotional purposes. 

Although unlikely, we may disclose your personally identifiable information if we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to CareNatural or to others.  We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires it. 

Updating, Correcting and Modifying Your Information
To ensure that your information is up-to-date, we encourage you to provide us with updates regarding such information and to inform us of any errors with respect to the personal information we hold.  You may update, review, modify or correct your CareNatural online account information at any time by accessing your password-protected registration via www.CareNatural.com.  To update, access, modify or verify any other information, or if you do not have an online account, you may contact one of our customer service representatives by phone. Ordinarily, we will need specific information from you to verify your identity, before we can provide you with the personal information we hold.  We may ask you to put your request for a correction in writing.

Security of Your Information
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software which encrypts the information you input.  We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card number when confirming an order.  Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing using SSL encryption software. 

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.  Be sure to sign out when you finish using a shared computer.
