The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection practices of Rock and Stem Holistics  (“COMPANY,” “we” or “us”). Specifically, it outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are using this website www.rockandstemholistics.com (the “Site”) and the ways in which we use this information. This privacy statement, including our children’s privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may provide to us or that we may collect offline and/or through other means (i.e. at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail).

By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this  Privacy Policy. Because the internet is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we will post the changes to this Privacy Policy on the Site and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the changes. By continuing to use the site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified. 

How We Collect and Use Information 

We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online while using the Site  (this includes responding via email to a feature provided on the Site). We only contact individuals who have signed up to receive our messaging, attended one of our events, or have purchased one of our services. The Site collects personally identifying information from our users during registration for receiving blog posts updates via email as well as via email correspondence in response to features provided on the Site (i.e. requesting prospective client information or requesting service via email). Generally, this information includes name, email address, and phone number. Postal address and credit card information will be collected offline and stored in ChARM EHR, a HIPAA compliant electronic health records system. All of this information is provided to us by you.

We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site. For example, we may collect information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site. We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience on the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the  Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before. The Site also may use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as  “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages.

We may use the information we collect from you while you are using the Site in a variety of ways, including using the information to customize features; advertising that appears on the Site; and, making other offers available to you via email, direct mail, or otherwise.

Information collected from and about you while you are using the Site will not be disclosed to enable a third party to provide you with information about products and services.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for viewing by third parties online – for example on message boards, weblogs, blog comment sections, or in chat areas – that information can be seen, collected, and used by others besides us. We cannot be responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such information.

The Site does not have third-party advertisers and ad services that place and present advertising on the Site. The Site includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services through the  Site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such products or services.

We do not have relationships with third-party providers at this time.

If we change our practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children under eighteen as part of the Site.

clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically. The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The Rule also gives  patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, and  to request corrections.”

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
