Cookies
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by NutritionAudioBooks.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any linked websites.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Sharing Information
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We do not share any aggregated demographic information (not personally identifiable information) with any partners nor advertisers.
These are the instances in which we will share users’ personal information:
Third Party Intermediaries
We may use an outside shipping company (primarily United Parcel Service, known as UPS) to ship physical products, or a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Service Providers
We partner with several service providers: SpokenNetwork for audiobook online shopping cart processing; 1ShoppingCart and /or PlugnPay to provide online shopping cart processing; and Card Payment Solutions as the secure gateway and financial institution for credit card processing of VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER and AMERICAN EXPRESS. Their secure servers host the tracking data and personal information mentioned above in accordance with industry merchant accounting practices.
Business Transitions
In the event Baumeister LLC goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Protection of Information
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. The servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, in a locked and alarmed facility. If users have any questions about the security at our Web site, users can send an email to BaumeisterLLC 'at symbol' cox.net.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. This can be done by emailing our Customer Service at BaumeisterLLC 'at symbol' cox.net. Or, contact us by telephone or postal mail at the contact information listed below.
Other Privacy Issues
Choice to Opt-out or Unsubscribe
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ / unsubscribe at any time. For example, any marketing or newsletter will have an opt-out link at the bottom. Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying with unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at BaumeisterLLC 'at symbol' cox.net. The user may always contact us in person to opt out. Contact information is below.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, Baumeister LLC, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums
Public forums do not exist on NutritionhAudioBooks.comh at this time. Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email and by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days.
