GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® and affiliated companies respect the privacy of every individual who visit the GL Sites and all other Web Sites owned or maintained directly or indirectly by GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE®, including, without limitation, glskinfitinstitute.com, gregorylandsman.com, (the ‘GL Sites’). GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® has created this statement (the GL Sites) to inform you of GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® privacy practices and the Terms and Conditions under which data that we collect from you on the GL Sites will be used, shared and otherwise treated. This Privacy Policy will also instruct you on how you can verify the accuracy, and control certain uses, of the information you provide to us on the GL Sites. By accessing the GL Sites, you agree to be bound by the Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Accordingly, you should check the date of this Policy (which appears at the top of this page), and review any changes since the last version. If at any time you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the GL Sites. Your continued use of the GL Sites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy.
2. COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
A. Personally Identifiable Information (P.I.I.)
When you visit the GL Sites, you may be asked to provide personally identifiable information about yourself (P.I.I.) primarily for purposes such as i) registering on the GL Sites, ii) contacting us about questions, inquires or concerns, or iii) providing the service or support for which your P.I.I. was specifically requested. P.I.I. includes, but is not limited to your name, mailing address, e-mail address, postal address and telephone number. (Please note that no credit card, debit card or other banking information is held on any GL Sites. A link is provided to our payment gateway providers, so visitors can purchase products online. Credit card, debit card or other banking information provided to PayPal.com during the purchase process is not made available to GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® at anytime.) Providing P.I.I. to the GL Sites is on a strictly voluntary basis, however, if you opt not to provide the GL Sites with certain P.I.I., you may be unable to participate in certain promotions or activities provided on the GL Site or receive product information or other offers. You acknowledge and agree that your provision of P.I.I. to the GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® will be subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and that GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may use P.I.I. for the purposes stated herein, including carrying out the purposes for which such information was collected. Your P.I.I. will be held by GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, for the settlement of any potential disputes which may be raised or otherwise in accordance with legal requirements. Additionally, you agree that your P.I.I. may be shared with third parties as stated herein (see generally Section C. below) and you acknowledge that such third parties may not be governed by the same policies as the GL Sites.
B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information (N.P.I.I.)
In some cases, the GL Sites may collect certain information about you that is not personally identifiable, such as your age, mailing code, product and information preferences, Site pages most frequently accessed, search terms entered, the type of Internet browser or computer operating system you are using and personal characteristics and other traits (N.P.I.I.). We may also collect N.P.I.I. about your use of the GL Sites and other Web Sites linked to the GL Sites, such as the domain name of the Web site from which you linked to the GL Sites. We use N.P.I.I. to help administer the GL Sites and to provide information about the Sites to potential business partners. We reserve the right to share aggregated N.P.I.I. with third parties. As stated earlier, N.P.I.I. does not identify you individually.
C. Use of Your PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION/SHARING of your PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
When you register on one of the GL Sites, you will be asked to provide P.I.I. This allows the GL Sites to maintain a user profile of each user so that we may customize preferences for each specific user, provide a faster method for Web visitors to submit information to GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® (and receive information back from the GL Sites), notify users about important functionality changes to the GL Sites and about new products and services offered by the GL Sites and special offers that we believe users will find to be valuable, as well as generally allow us to better know our users and possibly tailor any specific features, promotions or other notifications to them. In addition, you may be asked to submit your P.I.I. when contacting us about questions, inquires or concerns or to provide services or support. When you provide P.I.I. on the GL Sites, GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may store, process and use your P.I.I. in order to carry out the purpose for which such information was provided, enhance your experience on the GL Sites, (including tailoring it to your preferences), and for the general promotion, marketing, and advertising activities related to the products and services that GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® makes available from time to time.
GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may also enhance or merge your P.I.I. with data obtained from third parties, such as information provided by a co-sponsor of a particular promotion, which GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may then use for marketing and advertising activities. Certain services available on the GL Sites may be provided by third parties, including without limitation, sub-contractors, authorized vendors, and fulfilment companies, and GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may provide your P.I.I. to such third parties in order to deliver the requested service to you. GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may also share your P.I.I. with third party service providers, such as data processors, companies who send emails on our behalf, customer support specialists, Web hosting companies, etc. These third party service providers are not authorized to retain, share, store or use your P.I.I. for any purposes other than to provide the services for which they have been hired to provide. Finally, GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may disclose P.I.I. when required to do so under applicable law, including but not limited to comply with a legal requirement, judicial proceeding court order or legal process served on us; to investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; or when we believe it is appropriate to do so to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company or other persons.
You may at any time tell us that you: i) would like to review, update or have your P.I.I. deleted from GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® database; or ii) would like to opt-out of receiving marketing emails or postal mail from the GL Sites by unsubscribing from GL Sites.
D. COOKIES
We may also use a technology known as "cookies" (or any other technology now existing or hereafter developed providing similar tracking benefits to GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE®) to help you travel through the GL Sites and other Web Sites linked to the GL Sites more easily and to help us understand how you and others use the GL Sites and other Web Sites linked to the GL Sites. Specifically, we may use cookies (or such other technology) to: i) customize your visitation and experience on the GL Sites and other Web Sites linked to the GL Sites; ii) provide you with custom-tailored content; iii) notify you of certain promotions, products and services that GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® and other companies believe may be of interest to you; and iv) for any other purpose permitted under applicable law from time to time. Cookies are used by almost every Web site for these and similar purposes. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You may, however, disallow reception of cookies at any time by resetting your web browser. Most Internet browsers enable you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. That said, parts of the GL Sites will not function if you do not have cookies enabled. To enable or disable cookies on your browser, please consult your browser documentation or contact your software provider.
3. PUBLIC FORUMS
From time to time you may be able to participate in certain activities on the GL Sites, such as chat rooms or bulletin boards, which will allow you the opportunity to communicate with GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® or other users of the GL Sites. Unless otherwise noted, these activities are generally accessible to all users of the GL Sites and any information that you post or otherwise make available through these forums will be non-confidential and known to all other users. Accordingly, please exercise discretion when using these forums and when publishing any P.I.I. in these forums. You acknowledge and agree that GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® does not review, censor, or in any manner control the content of these forums and consequently GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® has no liability or responsibility whatsoever for information made available through these forums and that you will be liable to GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® for any liability that we incur as a result of any statement made by you in these forums.

4. SECURITY
The security of your P.I.I. is important to us and we are committed to handling your information carefully. We restrict access to your P.I.I. to employees who need to know that information in order to provide services. In addition, we make reasonable efforts to follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the P.I.I. submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your P.I.I., we cannot guarantee its absolute security and any transmission is at your own risk.
5. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
In an attempt to enhance the experience of visiting the GL Sites, GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may choose to link the GL Sites to various third party Web Sites. However, GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® may have no control over the acts or omissions of these linked Web Sites, who each should have their own privacy policy and data collection practices, independent of GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® and the GL Sites. GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® has no liability or responsibility whatsoever for these linked Web Sites or for their policies, practices and content. GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® provides these links for the convenience of the visitors to the GL Sites and such visitors access these Sites at their own risk. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and Terms and Conditions of any third-party Sites or services.
6. CHILDREN
GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® is concerned about the safety of children when they use the Internet. However, the GL Sites are neither directed nor targeted to children under 18 years old. GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® has no intention to knowingly collect any P.I.I. from individuals under the age of 18 years. If GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® learns that a child under the age of 18 years has provided P.I.I. to the GL Sites without verifiable parental consent, GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from its databases. If you believe your child, who is under 18, has submitted P.I.I. to the GL Sites, please contact us via our the Contact page. We strongly encourage parents to monitor their children's use of the Web.
7. REVIEWING, UPDATING OR DELETING YOUR P.I.I. IN GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® DATABASES
If you have previously submitted P.I.I. to GL SKINFIT INSTITUTE® through the GL Sites, and you would like to review, update, or have your P.I.I. deleted from our databases, please contact us via our Contact page, and be sure to include complete information so that we can respond to your request: Please note that if you ask us to remove your P.I.I. from our database, we may, however, maintain your name or other necessary P.I.I. in a ‘do not mail’ file to help us ensure that we can honour your request. Please note that we may share your P.I.I. with third parties, (per above), prior to receiving your correspondence and we will not undertake any effort to cause such third parties with whom we have shared your P.I.I. to delete or update your P.I.I., so if this concerns you, you should not share your P.I.I. with the GL Sites.
8. OPTING-OUT OF RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM GL SITES
