We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:
- Directly from you. For example, from forms you complete or products and services you purchase.
- Indirectly from you. For example, from observing your actions on our Website.
- When you correspond with us about our products and services. For example, if you contact Health eLife or use our products and services and provide us with information regarding your experience using our products, we may use the information you provide in submitting reports to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and as otherwise required by law.
- When you connect with us through Social Media. Certain services may link to social media platforms and social media plug-ins (e.g., The Facebook “Like” button, “Share to Twitter” button (“Social Media”). When using the services through a Facebook or other Social Media accounts, Health eLife may automatically have access to information provided to or through the Social Media platform. Health eLife may collect and use this information for the purposes outlined in this Policy.
- Through Data Collection Tools. For example, we collect information about the use of our services and products through data collection tools, such as web beacons and cookies. A “web beacon” is a piece of code that enables us to monitor user activity and website traffic. A” cookie” is a randomly-generated unique numeric code stored in the user’s web browser settings or computer’s hard drive. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires), as well as the randomly generated unique numeric code. We use this information to monitor usage patterns, store information about user preferences, and to improve our products and services.
- Through Service Providers that assist us with our business operations that collect and use information through the service and also may share the collected information with us. For example, our service providers collect and share information with us to analyze the use of the services and products and to improve user experience.
Purposes for the Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Information
We may collect, use, or disclose personal information for the purposes of operating, managing, and maintaining our business, providing our products and services, and accomplishing our business purposes and objectives, including using personal information to:
- To fulfill or meet the reason you provided the information. For example, if you share your name and contact information to request a price quote or ask a question about our products or services, we will use that personal information to respond to your inquiry. If you provide your personal information to purchase a product or service, we will use that information to process your payment and facilitate delivery. We may also save your information to facilitate new product orders or process returns.
- To provide, support, personalize, and develop our Website, products, and services.
- To create, maintain, customize, and secure your account with us.
- To process your requests, purchases, transactions, and payments and prevent transactional fraud.
- To provide you with support and to respond to your inquiries, including to investigate and address your concerns and monitor and improve our responses.

- As described to you when collecting your personal information or as otherwise set forth in the CCPA.
- To evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our consumers is among the assets transferred.
Under the CCPA, if a business “sells” personal information or “shares” personal information for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising, it must allow California residents to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. However, we do not sell or share and have not sold or shared personal information, including sensitive personal information, in the preceding twelve (12) months, as these terms are defined in the CCPA. For example, and without limiting the foregoing, we do not sell or share personal information, including sensitive personal information, of minors under 16 years of age.
Purposes for the Collection and Use of Sensitive Personal Information
Subject to your consent where required by applicable law, we may use sensitive personal information for purposes of performing services for our business, providing goods or services as requested by you, ensuring security and integrity, short-term transient use such as displaying first-party, non-personalized advertising, order processing, and fulfillment, servicing accounts, providing customer service, verifying customer information, processing payments, providing financing, and activities relating to quality and safety control or product improvement.
Retention Period
We retain personal information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was collected. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:
- The length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide services to you, for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using our services, and the length of time thereafter during which we may have a legitimate need to reference your personal information to address issues that may arise;
- Whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them; or
- Whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position, such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations.
