Privacy Policy
This site is owned and operated by ProAgeá Life
Sciences. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance
to us. At ProAgeá, we want to make your experience online satisfying
and safe. Because we gather certain types of information about our
users, we feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms
and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information.
This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and
how we use it.
Information Collected
ProAgeá gathers two types of information
about users:
* Information that users provide through
optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions
to receive our electronic newsletters, purchase products or to participate
in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation
in polls and surveys:
* Information ProAgeá gathers through aggregated
tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout
our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content
to readers' needs and better understand the demographics of our
audience. Under no circumstances does ProAgeá divulge any information
about an individual user to a third party.
Voluntary Submissions
We offer the following
free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of
personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters
policy (Dispatches): We will offer a free electronic newsletter
to users. ProAgeá gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily
subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by
following the link provided in every newsletter that points users
to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to
the newsletters at the time of registration.
2. Message boards/forums
policy: Users of the site may visit or blog that is not hosted on
our site. It is hosted on Blogger.com which is owned by Google.
You are required to provide no personal information to use this
board.
3. Surveys ProAgeá
may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content
to our audience.
4. We sometimes
share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with
our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this
information about specific individuals with any third party. Children
Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without
requesting parental consent.
Site Usage Tracking
ProAgeá tracks user traffic patterns throughout
all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information
with data about individual users. ProAgeá does break down overall
usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type,
and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string
(information contained in every user's browser).
ProAgeá sometimes tracks and catalogs the
search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking
is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information
to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like
based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual
users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Cookies Not Required
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in
the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain
Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use
of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly
provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain
is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off
your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. ProAgeá
uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've
set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will
receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to
have cookies turned on to use this site.
Information Use
ProAgeá uses any information voluntarily given
by our users to enhance their experience, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future
content based on the interests of our users. As stated above, we
use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send
out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in
surveys. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule
(depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special
editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested
in something we are doing.
ProAgeá never shares newsletter mailing lists
with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas.
We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well
each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function
as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't
track which terms a particular user enters. We will not disclose
any information about any individual user except to comply with
applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
No Information Sharing
We will not share information about individual
users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law
or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our
users or the public. Security ProAgeá operates secure data networks
protected by industry standard firewall and password protection
systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed
and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access
to the information provided by our customers.
Opt Out Policy
We give users options wherever necessary
and practical. Such choices include:
* Opting not to register to receive our
newsletters.
* Opting not to participate in interactive
areas, which alleviate the need to gather your personal information.

use of this information by ProAgeá. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are
always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
