Personal Data.For European users, references to your “personal information” in this Privacy Policy should be understood to include a reference to your “personal data” (as defined in the GDPR). So what is “personal data”? – essentially, personal data is information about an individual, from which that individual is either directly identified or can be identified.  It does not include ‘anonymous data’ (i.e., information where the identity of the relevant individual has been permanently removed and that individual is no longer identified or identifiable).

Legal bases for processing. We use your personal information for the purposes listed below. In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your personal information, European data protection legislation requires us to ensure that we have a “legal basis” for that use. Our legal bases for processing your personal information described in this Privacy Policy are listed below.

  • Where we need to perform a contract, we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (“Contractual Necessity”).

  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (“Legitimate Interests”). More detail about the specific legitimate interests pursued in respect of each purpose we use your personal information for is set out in the table below.

  • Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (“Compliance with Law”).

  • Where we have your specific consent to carry out the processing for the purpose in question (“Consent”).

For any special categories of personal data we process (e.g. data related to your health), we also have to establish a condition to processing such data, because it is considered to be more sensitive in nature – for example, we may look to obtain your explicit consent to the Processing of those special categories of personal data for one or more specified purposes (“Explicit Consent”).

We have set out below the legal bases we rely on in respect of the relevant purposes for which we use your personal information. The nature of the processing may vary between our websites.

The processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Use for new purposes.We may use your personal information for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it.  If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.

Special Categories of Personal Data.  As noted above, you may choose to provide us with certain health-related data. We will only collect such health-related data where you have provided us with your explicit consent to its use for the specific purpose of personalizing recommendations about the products most relevant for you. If you do not want us to process your health-related data in one our optional quizzes to allow us to make these product recommendations, you can always choose not to do so. You will still be able to use the Service by manually selecting the products most relevant for you from our ‘Products’ page – however, we will not be able to personalize recommendations to you.

We will not use your personal information (whether it is directly special category personal data or not) to create inferences or to otherwise reveal information concerning your health / health conditions, your genetic information, your racial or ethnic origin, your sex life or sexual orientation or any other special category(ies) of personal data without your explicit consent. If you do not provide your explicit consent, we will not carry out any Processing that is designed or intended to treat you differently on the basis of a possible inference or ‘educated guess’ that we could theoretically make about, or that could deduce, these types of special categories (e.g. from your purchase history).

Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.  If we anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your rights

European data protection legislation gives you certain rights regarding your personal information in certain circumstances.  If you are located within Europe, you may ask us to take the following actions in relation to your personal information that we hold:

  • Access.Provide you with information about our processing of your personal information and give you access to your personal information.

  • Correct.Update or correct inaccuracies in your personal information.

  • Delete.Delete your personal information.

  • Transfer.Transfer a machine-readable copy of your personal information to you or a third party of your choice.

  • Restrict.Restrict the processing of your personal information.

  • Object.Object to our reliance on our legitimate interests as the basis of our processing of your personal information.

  • Opt-out. Stop sending you direct marketing communications. You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing emails.

  • Consent withdrawal. Where we rely on your consent and/or explicit consent to process your personal information you may withdraw that consent at any time.

You may submit these requests by email to privacy@humnutrition.com. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request.

Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request.  If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.  If you would like to submit a complaint about our use of your personal information or our response to your requests regarding your personal information, you may contact us or submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction.

Data transfers outside Europe.

We may share your personal information with third parties who are based outside Europe. In such circumstances, those parties’ processing of your personal information will involve a transfer your personal information outside of Europe.

We endeavor to ensure that people to whom we provide your personal information hold it subject to the standards required by European data protection legislation. So, whenever we transfer your personal information out of Europe, we try to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by making sure at least one of the following mechanisms is implemented:

  • Transfers to territories with an adequacy decision.

    We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission or UK Government (as and where applicable) from time to time.

  • Transfers to territories without an adequacy decision.

    • We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission or UK Government (as and where applicable).

    • What this means is that the relevant authority(ies) have not adopted an ‘adequacy decision’ to confirm that the relevant laws and practices in that country or territory are sufficient to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data to the standards required by the GDPR – for example, there is currently no such decision in respect of the United States.

    • However, in these cases:

      • we may use specific appropriate safeguards approved by the European Commission, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or UK Government (as and where applicable), which are designed to give personal information the same protection it has in Europe – for example, requiring the recipient of personal information to enter into the relevant form of the so-called ‘Standard Contractual Clauses’ issued or approved from time to time; or

      • in limited circumstances, we may rely on an exception, or ‘derogation’, which permits us to transfer your information to such country despite the absence of an ‘adequacy decision’ or ‘appropriate safeguards’ – for example, reliance on your explicit consent to that transfer.

You may contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of Europe.

This Cookie Notice explains how Hum Nutrition Inc. (“Hum Nutrition”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with

  • the humnutrition.com, humnutrition.co.uk, and humnutrition.de websites and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Notice (collectively, the “Sites”); and

  • our mobile app (“App”).

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.  Cookies serve different purposes, like helping us understand how a site is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience.

Our Sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them).

We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Sites; and (2) third-party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Sites, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third-party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including site analytics, advertising, and social media features.

What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies does Hum Nutrition use on the Sites and App?

On the Sites, we use cookies and other tracking technologies in the following categories described here.

Other technologies

In addition to cookies, our Sites and Apps may use other technologies, such as Flash technology to pixel tags to collect information automatically.

Browser Web Storage

We may use browser web storage (including via HTML5), also known as locally stored objects (“LSOs”), for similar purposes as cookies. Browser web storage enables the storage of a larger amount of data than cookies. Your web browser may provide functionality to clear your browser web storage.

Flash Technology

We may use Flash cookies (which are also known as Flash Local Shared Object (“Flash LSOs”)) on our Sites to collect and store information about your use of our Sites. Unlike other cookies, Flash cookies cannot be removed or rejected via your browser settings. If you do not want Flash LSOs stored on your computer or mobile device, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash LSO storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash LSOs by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions. Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash LSOs may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our Sites.

Web Beacons

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Sites and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

Mobile Application Software Development Kits (SDKs)

We may use third-party software development kits (“SDKs”) in our App. A SDK is third-party computer code that may be used for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics regarding the use of our mobile applications, to integrate with social media, add features or functionality to our app, or to facilitate online advertising. SDKs may enable third parties to collect information directly via our App.

Your choices

Your options for controlling what information cookies and similar technologies collect about you include:

  • Blocking cookies in your browser.Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Sites may not work properly. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites.

  • Third-party opt-out option.You can opt-out of interest-based advertising through some of the third parties listed in the chart above by using the corresponding third-party opt-out tool provided in the chart.

  • Industry association opt-outs. You may opt out of receiving interest-based advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. You may opt out of receiving targeted advertising in mobile apps through participating members of the Digital Advertising Alliance by installing the AppChoices mobile app, available here, and selecting the user’s choices. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms linked above.

  • Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings. Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.

For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.  If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites.

If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.

For more information about how we collect, use and share your information, see our Privacy Policy.

Information about the cookies we use may be updated from time to time, so please check back on a regular basis for any changes.
