Kipu Health, LLC, its subsidiaries and its affiliates (“Kipu”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of its users. Kipu’s goal is to provide you with a personalized Internet experience that delivers the information, resources and services that are most relevant and helpful to you. In order to achieve this goal, Kipu sometimes collects information during your visits to understand what differentiates you from other users of Kipu.Health. Kipu operates under the following set of strict privacy principles:

• The only information Kipu obtains about individual users to its Web site is that supplied voluntarily by users.
• In cases when Kipu may need personal information to provide users with customized content or to inform them about new features or services, users are explicitly asked for that information.
• Personally identifiable information provided by users (name, e-mail or home address, etc.) will only be disclosed to agents for action on Kipu’s behalf subject to an agreement ensuring Kipu’s privacy priniciples and will not be disclosed to any non-agent-third party unless users choose that Kipu may do so, or unless required by law, in conjunction with a government inquiry, or in litigation or dispute resolution.
• Only statistical non-personal about Kipu.Health users as a group (usage habits, demographics) may be shared with any affiliate, subsidiary, sponsor, advertiser or partner of Kipu, unless an appropriate confidentiality agreement is in place. Kipu employs strict security measures to safeguard online transactions. All personal information is stored in a secured database.
• The following describes Kipu’s information gathering and dissemination practices for Kipu.Health. Additional terms and conditions, if any, regarding the collection and use of your information may also be provided to you before you sign up for a particular service. Here you will learn what personally identifiable information of yours is collected, how and when Kipu might use your information, how Kipu protects your information, who has access to your information, and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Your privacy is important to us.

Kipu collects certain information from its users in three ways: (a) from Kipu Web server logs, (b) with cookies and (c) directly from the user.

An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet. All computer identification on the Internet is conducted with IP addresses, which allow computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. Kipu collects IP addresses in order to conduct system administration, report aggregate information to affiliates, subsidiaries, sponsors, advertisers or partners, and to conduct site analysis. Kipu will also use IP addresses to identify any users who refuse to comply with Kipu’s Terms of Use Agreement, and to identify users who threaten Kipu’s service, site, user, clients or others.

Kipu places a text file called a “cookie” in the browser files of your computer. Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual’s hard disk for record keeping purposes. Kipu.Health uses cookies during your online session to deliver content specific to your interests. Cookies allow Kipu to avoid showing you the same ad or other message repeatedly. Kipu Web Site cookies do not contain personal information. They do enable Kipu to relate your use of the site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided to Kipu.Health.

If you do not want cookies to be set on your device, you can adjust the setting of your Internet browser to reject the setting of all or some cookies and to alert you when a cookie is placed on your device.
