PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction: McCulloch Wellness Sciences is concerned about your privacy and your time. We want you to understand what personal and personally identifiable information (“personal information”) we collect about you, and how we use your personal information. The nature of the Services that we provide through our Web Site requires that we collect and use personal information about you as more fully described below. Some of your personal information may be disclosed to third parties in order to provide the Information and services that you request, and may be used by both McCulloch Wellness Sciences and third parties to provide that Information and/or perform those Services. In addition, McCulloch Wellness Sciences and third parties may use your personal information to offer you additional information, products or services that we feel match your areas of interest.

How we collect personal information: When you register on our Web Site, we will ask you for certain personal information such as, for example, your name and e-mail address. If you send correspondence to the Web Site, such as e-mails, send correspondence to McCulloch Wellness Sciences such as letters, or if other users or third parties such as businesses send us communications about your activities in connection with your use of the Web Site, McCulloch Wellness Sciences has the right to retain and use that information. We will treat all of those communications in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Cookies: The Web Site employs mechanisms which automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior while visiting the Web Site. This information is used to better understand and serve you by responding to your particular interests. This information may include, but is not limited to, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that you came from (whether this URL is on the Web Site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the Web Site or not), what browser you are using, your screen size, your computer’s operating system, referring/exit pages, date/time stamp, Internet protocol (IP) address, Internet service provider (ISP) name, and where your computer is located. We store that information on our and our service providers’ computers, and in a “cookie”, which is a small data file we create and store on your computer. The information in the cookie is accessed by the Web Site when you sign in, and helps us to enhance and personalize your experience when using the Site. Most websites on the Internet use cookies for this purpose. Most browsers allow you to turn off or limit cookies. Your browser is probably set to accept cookies, but if it is not then you should reconfigure it to do so, otherwise some of our features or services may not function properly as a result. We never provide advertisers or third parties with access to our cookies. Please note that McCulloch Wellness Sciences cannot track and is not responsible for cookies placed on your computer by advertisers or third parties.

How we use personal information: We use the personal information you provide through the registration process and quizzes to provide you with the Information and services you request and to provide you with information about related services and/or products.

We sometimes provide non-identifiable, aggregated usage or tracking information collected from this website to third parties. We may also provide certain of your personal information to third parties that provide services to us in operating the Web Site or our businesses, such as software development and information processing. If you do not wish to receive certain communications from the Web Site, you have the ability to opt out by declining the service offered or informing us that you no longer wish to receive such communications. The opt-out feature and instructions for its use are available on the Web Site. We will comply with your request unless such communications are necessary for the administration of your account, required by law, or necessary to protect our rights.

Besides using information to provide our services, the Web Site uses information maintained about you, and other information obtained from your current and past activities to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our rights. At times, McCulloch Wellness Sciences may review the information of multiple users to identify problems or to resolve disputes.

Disclosing personal information: McCulloch Wellness Sciences uses commercially reasonable efforts to limit disclosures of your personal information. We may disclose your personal information to other third parties that we work with to the extent necessary to provide the Information and Services you request through the Web Site, and/or to provide you with related information, to communicate with you, and to provide you with information on other products and services in your areas of interest.

Technical and legal circumstances beyond our control could prevent McCulloch Wellness Sciences from ensuring that your information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described herein. For example, among other things, we may be required by law, regulation or court order to disclose personal information to government representatives or third parties under certain circumstances. If McCulloch Wellness Sciences is requested by law enforcement officials or judicial authorities to provide personal information, McCulloch Wellness Sciences may, without your consent, provide such personal information. In matters involving claims of personal or public safety or in litigation where the data is pertinent, McCulloch Wellness Sciences may use or disclose your personal information without your consent or court process. Unauthorized parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions despite any commercially reasonable security efforts by McCulloch Wellness Sciences. You acknowledge that despite the use of such technology, no website is 100% secure. Further, corporate restructuring, sale of assets, merger, divestiture and other changes of control or financial status affecting McCulloch Wellness Sciences may require disclosure as an incidental result of a transfer of assets by operation of law or otherwise, and the consummation of a sale, merger, bankruptcy or liquidation transaction involving McCulloch Wellness Sciences or certain of its affiliates or business divisions could require the sale, assignment or transfer of your personal information to a purchaser or McCulloch Wellness Sciences’s successor in interest. Therefore, McCulloch Wellness Sciences and affiliates do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information shall remain private or under the sole control of McCulloch Wellness Sciences under all circumstances.

If you have any questions that are not answered elsewhere on this site, if you would like to review the personally identifiable information we have collected about you, or if you believe that this policy has been violated, please contact us. Our response to such inquiries may be limited to information under our direct control.

This privacy policy only applies to information collected by the Web Site. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, Third-Party Sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites, if any. It is the sole responsibility of such third parties to adhere to any applicable restrictions on the disclosure of your personal information, and McCulloch Wellness Sciences and affiliates shall not be liable for wrongful use or disclosure of your personal information by any third party.

Some unofficial plain-english philosophy around our terms and conditions

The field of health is complicated, contextual and constantly changing based on new findings where health practitioners must discern validity based on their training and clinical experience. We work hard to provide you with the best information we can find and interpret, but as a courtesy and not as a substitution for the advice of a medical practitioner provided in a 1 to 1 consultation. Please follow the references in our blog posts and do your own research before forming your own opinions. If you feel it is appropriate, discuss your opinion respectfully (and with an open mind) with your health practitioner to determine your best treatment before acting on your findings. We have seen many patients take an article out of context or lack knowledge of a contraindication and find their health in a worse position as a result. The role of a doctor is to help guide you through the many pitfalls you can encounter that could never be covered in a blog post. Please know, this website is here to report what we have found and not act in place of your doctor. Any use of the information we provide without the supervision of a medical practitioner is not only against our recommendation, but can only be done at your own discretion and risk.
With respect to our content and it’s dissemination, we work hard to find and provide our information and though we take our integrity seriously, due to the uncertain nature of health, we are not in a position to make claims or guarantee the accuracy of our articles. If you want to incorporate our content in your own medical blog, please take care to represent the information we present as clinical speculation and be clear about the importance of the role of a qualified medical practitioner. Also, please be original in your own articles where our material is referenced and make an effort to move the content forward according to your own studies (e.g. do not simply copy what we’ve done) and provide a link back to our blog if you use our information.
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.” Except for this disclosure, you will not make any public communication with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Associates Program. You will not misrepresent or embellish our relationship with you (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, or endorse you), or express or imply any affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, be well and stay safe.
