Each time a Visitor comes to the Website, Strong On Health collects some information to improve the overall quality of the Visitor’s online experience. The types of non-personal information we may obtain include:
Hardware/software information (geographic location, IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, bandwidth, etc.);
Analytics information (time spend on site, number of pages viewed, referring web page, browsing information, social sharing, etc.);
Advertising information (type of ads seen, number of times ads were served, pages where the ads were served, etc.); and
Information collected through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies.
This type of information is collected anonymously through the use of technology, such as third-party cookies, web beacons, and other similar methods. Some of the technology used includes but is not limited to:
Aggregated Data. We collect aggregate queries both directly and through third-party website analytic tools (Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc.) for internal reporting and also to count, track, and aggregate the Visitors’ activity into Strong On Health’s analysis of general traffic-flow at the Website. To this end, Strong On Health may merge information about you into aggregated group data. In some cases, Strong On Health may remove personal identifiers from Personal Information and maintain it in aggregate form that may later be combined with other information to generate anonymous, aggregated statistical information. Such anonymous, group data may be shared on an aggregated basis with Strong On Health’s affiliates, business partners, service providers and/or vendors.
Web Server Logs and IP Addresses. An Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a number that automatically identifies the computer or device you have used to access the Internet. The IP address enables our server to send you the web pages that you want to visit, and it may disclose the server owned by your Internet Service Provider. Strong On Health may use IP addresses to conduct the Website’s analyses and performance reviews and to administer the Website.
Cookies and Web Beacons. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when the Website set or access cookies. You can also opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display ads using the Google Ads Preferences Manager. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a user’s computer for purposes of storing information about a user’s preferences. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer. Many websites use cookies as a standard practice to provide useful features when a user visits the Website and most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. Strong On Health uses cookies to improve your online experience when visiting the Website, such as to keep authenticating Visitors, track of advertisements and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction. Information that we collect through cookies includes (i) the name and version of the operating system on the Visitor’s computer, (ii) the name and version of the Visitor’s browser, (iii) which page on the The Website the Visitor is currently reading, as well as clicks and time spent on a particular page, (iv) if the Visitor was sent to the current page by some other page on the web, the universal resource locator (“URL”) of the referring web page, and (v) geolocation of the Visitor’s computer or device. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but some portions of the Website may not work properly if you refuse cookies. Some of the Website’s web pages may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about the Website’s usage. Both Strong On Health and our third-party vendors, including Google, also use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to inform, optimize and serve ads based on your past visits to the Website. A web beacon is an electronic image (also referred to as an “action tag,” “single-pixel,” or “clear GIF”) that is commonly used to track the traffic patterns of users from one web page to another in order to maximize web traffic flow and to otherwise analyze the effectiveness of the Website. Some web beacons may be unusable if you elect to reject their associated cookies. For more information on cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies, please visit the Internet Advertising Bureau’s Interactive Glossary. By accessing and using the Website, you expressly consent to the storage of cookies, other local storage technologies, beacons or other information on your computer or devices. You also consent to the access of such cookies, local storage technologies, beacons and information by us.
HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your privacy is very important to us. We use appropriate security measures for preventing your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to assist us in protecting the personal information we collect against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. For example, when required, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology encrypts your information to protect it from being decoded by anyone other than us. Additionally, except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we limit access to Personal Information in electronic databases to those persons in our organization who have a business need for such access. They will only process your Personal Information on our instructions. However, you should know that no web site operator, including Strong On Health, can fully eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information. While we have endeavored to create a secure and reliable website for users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from the Website or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS ON OUR THE WEBSITE
The Website may contain links to other websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. When you connect to a website that is linked to the Website, we encourage you to read the privacy statements of that website. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the Website.
CREDIT CARD COMPANIES
Credit card transactions are handled by third party financial institutions and their vendors and contractors who receive credit card numbers and other personal information from us to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions. The use of your personal information by the third-party financial institutions and their vendors and contractors will be subject to their own privacy policies.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF INFORMATION
If you choose to provide us with personal information, we may transfer that information across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from US law, please note that you are transferring your personal information to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws and does not offer you the same rights as the EU, and by providing your personal information you consent to:
the use of your personal information for the uses identified above in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and the transfer of your personal information to the United States as indicated above.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The Website is not intended for children under the age of 18. We will not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from the Website’s visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose online. If a child has provided us with personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us via e-mail at the above e-mail address if they would like this information deleted from our records. We will use reasonable efforts to delete the child’s information from our databases.
RESPONSE TO “DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS
Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not yet been adopted, Strong On Health does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
If you are a citizen of a European Union state, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information that Strong On Health has collected. You may exercise these rights by logging into your personal profile or by contacting us at info@strongonhealth.com.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Personal Information in the following scenarios: (i) If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (ii) Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (iii) Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; (iv) Where you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you are located in the European Union (EU), you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the data protection authority based in the country to which you are resident.

GDPR OVERVIEW
This page is here to provide our readers and customers with a broad overview - in easy-to-understand language - about our approach to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). More formal GDPR terms are set forth hereinbelow.
WHAT IS GDPR?
GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation. It’s a massive new regulation impacting data protection and privacy for all people in the European Union. GDPR went into effect in May 2018.
WHO IS IMPACTED?
Every company that does business with anyone in the European Union is required to be compliant. Simply having one website visitor from the E.U. means we need to be.
WHAT HAS BISNOW DONE ABOUT GDPR?
We take this regulation seriously. In preparation for the incoming regulation, we have:
Appointed a Data Protection Officer. You can email them at info@strongonhealth.com with questions.
Engaged an attorney to audit our GDPR preparations and data security and make recommendations to increase our data security, protocols and transparency.
Conducted a company-wide Data Protection Impact Assessment and have committed to conducting a DPIA every time we add new technology to our employees’ workflow.
Confirmed that as of May 1, 2018, with our technology partners that our servers that run our Website are GDPR-compliant and have added language to our contracts to make sure any future partners are, as well.
Trained ourselves to understand security risks, how personal information can be transferred, and what to do if a breach is suspected.
WHY IS STRONG ON HEALTH EMAILING ME? ISN’T THAT ILLEGAL?
One common misconception is that GDPR forbids companies from emailing individuals. That’s not entirely the case. There are “lawful basis” rationales for why businesses like Strong On Health can email individuals. One exception is the “legitimate interest” basis. Because Strong On Health contacts medical practitioners in medical-related industries and provides articles and information that advance people in this profession, our communications fall within the legitimate interest category. All of the individuals we email are those who, to the best of our knowledge, work in industries related to such profession. You can read our full lawful basis statement below.
WHAT IF I DON’T WANT STRONG ON HEALTH’S EMAILS?
We have always — and will continue to always — made it easy for readers to unsubscribe. In light of GDPR, we’ve made it even more simple and clear. Every bulk email Strong On Health sends will include unsubscribe options in the footer. Emails from individual employees at Strong On Health will always include a link to our privacy policy.
HOW DO I DELETE MY INFORMATION COMPLETELY?
GDPR mandates that Strong On Health make it easy for users to be “forgotten.” Beyond just unsubscribing, individuals can request to be forgotten by making a request via email to info@strongonhealth.com.
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
We are here to help. You can always email Strong On Health’s Data Protection Officer at info@strongonhealth.com.
GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) LEGAL TERMS
Lawful Basis
GDPR allows for the use of direct marketing so long as an organization establishes and documents what is known as a “Lawful Basis” for its processing activities. All Strong On Health emails include clear Opt Out instructions which are readily and clearly available, should a individual wish to stop receiving any Strong On Health emails. Strong On Health’s “Lawful Basis” falls under what is known as “Legitimate Interest” whereby, under Recital 47 of GDPR, the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.
In addition, Strong On Health gains an additional Lawful Basis by receiving “Consent” through a user’s agreement to Strong On Health’s Terms and Conditions when signing up to become a subscriber or by purchasing a product, or by subscribing to our articles. Separate from the direct marketing activities, Strong On Health must provide a legitimate interest for processing employee data. This processing also falls under “Legitimate Interest” whereby processing is necessary for operational, administrative, HR and recruitment purposes and to otherwise manage employment relationship and interaction between employees.
Data Policies
Under GDPR, data subjects are afforded the right to access their data, correct their data, restrict the processing of their data and to request erasure of their data from Strong On Health’s systems. All individual data is maintained until requested erasure. Data subjects may request their records or request to be deleted via the Settings page on their profile while logged in, or by emailing Strong On Health’s Data Protection Officer at info@strongonhealth.com.
