For information and detail on our Security and Privacy Policy:

SECURE ORDERING:

At naturalmedicineOC.com we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt the information you send us when you place your order. The information is encrypted on your computer, sent through the Internet as jumbled code, and decoded on our secure server. It cannot be read in transit.

naturalmedicineOC.com employees who handle customer data, such as customer service representatives, learn about security policy and practices as part of their job training.

Access to customer data is password-protected and limited to internal access only. naturalmedicineOC.com conducts reviews of its web security no less than quarterly.

TRUST-e: All transactions are made through Trust-e

The TRUSTe Program: How It Protects Your Privacy

TRUSTe believes that an environment of mutual trust and openness will help make and keep the Internet a free, comfortable, and richly diverse community for everyone. As an Internet user, you have a right to expect online privacy and the responsibility to exercise choice over how your personal information is collected, used, and shared by Web sites. The TRUSTe program was designed expressly to ensure that your privacy is protected through open disclosure and to empower you to make informed choices.

A cornerstone of our program is the TRUSTe "trustmark," an online branded seal displayed by member Web sites. The trustmark is awarded only to sites that adhere to established privacy principles and agree to comply with ongoing TRUSTe oversight and consumer resolution procedures. Privacy principles embody fair information practices approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Federal Trade Commission, and prominent industry-represented organizations and associations. The principles include:

• Adoption and implementation of a privacy policy that takes into account consumer anxiety over sharing personal information online.

• Notice and disclosure of information collection and use practices.

• Choice and consent, giving users the opportunity to exercise control over their information.

• Data security and quality and access measures to help protect the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information.

So, What Does TRUSTe's Trustmark Mean to You?

All Web sites that display our trustmark must disclose their personal information collection and privacy practices in a straightforward privacy statement, generally a link from the home page. More than one trustmark may be displayed if personal information privacy practices vary within the site.

When you see our TRUSTe seal, you can be assured that the Web site will disclose:

• What personal information is being gathered about you
• How the information will be used
• Who the information will be shared with, if anyone
• Choices available to you regarding how collected information is used
• Safeguards in place to protect your information from loss, misuse, or alteration
• How you can update or correct inaccuracies in your information

CREDIT CARD FRAUD PROTECTION:

All major credit card companies protect cardholders against fraud, subject to a $50 deductible. naturalmedicineOC.com will protect you from this $50 portion in the highly unlikely situation that you ever encounter an inappropriate charge involving our company

OPTIONAL PHONE/FAX ORDERING:

If you are still skeptical about placing your order online, you may place your order over the phone or fax during normal business hours. Click here for contact information.

SHARING OF INFORMATION:

This issue is extremely important. Some companies make thousands of dollars selling or renting their customer list. Sometimes it is disguised on an order form that asks you to uncheck a box (that is already checked) if you do not want to receive information about "related products". Some companies will actually sell their products for a lower price because the more names they can collect, the more names they can sell or rent to other companies.

naturalmedicineOC.com protects account information against unauthorized access or release. We will not give, sell, rent, or loan any identifiable personal information to any third party, unless the customer has authorized us to or we are legally required to do so. Additionally, we do not share the buying habits of individual consumers. We may share aggregate customer data with our Wellness Advisors and with selected manufacturers and advertising partners. In some cases, naturalmedicineOC.com provides the email addresses of our current customers to direct email companies working on our behalf. In this way, these companies can appropriately direct our promotional mailings to the correct customers (e.g., to prevent duplicate promotions). Newsletter emails only go out to customers who have indicated they wish to receive them and customers may elect at any time not to receive any further emails.

At naturalmedicineOC.com we feel that IT IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE to sell, rent or trade ANY customer information. Make sure that the company states that they do not sell, rent or trade customer information. They should have a customer privacy policy. Our policy: We NEVER sell, rent or trade ANY customer information. All customer information is STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES: 

In the event that naturalmedicineOC.com should change its privacy practices or start using member information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we would send email to our members notifying them of the changes, explaining the reasons and allowing them the opportunity to accept the changed policy, or demand exemption from it.
