The Test is committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this Privacy Statement to describe to you our practices regarding the Personal Data we collect from users of our services.

A Note to Users
YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT.

Types of Data We Collect:
The Test collects Personal Data, Personal Postal Data, and Anonymous Data when you visit our site or when you send us information or communications. "Personal Data" means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name and e-mail address as well as any information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Personal Postal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you via your name and mailing address. "Anonymous Data" means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data as described below.

Personal Data You Provide to Us
We collect Personal Data from you, such as your name, e-mail address, country of residence, state and city of residence, gender, age and/or birth date when you register for a membership with us or when you choose to use the various services we provide on our site (e.g. All About You, Health Advice and Assessments, etc.). We also collect other types of Personal Data that you provide to us voluntarily, such as your health-related information when you respond to surveys, health assessments, and questionnaires. If you provide us feedback regarding our site or services via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address in order to send you a reply.

In order to improve our services to you, we may ask you to voluntarily complete confidential surveys. We do not ask you to provide us any personally identifiable data in association with these surveys, although we do associate your responses with Personal Data. If you do not wish to participate in a survey, however, simply decline to participate when asked.

Personal Data Collected via Technology
To make our services more useful to you, we use technological means to collect Personal Data from you, and including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) you just came from, the URL you go to next, your browser type, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. We also use cookies or clear GIFs to collect Personal Data from you about your use of our site or e-mails we send you. You expressly consent to our use of cookies and clear GIFs when you use our services.

An "IP Address" is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases, your IP address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer Internet access provider, your IP address probably varies from session to session. We track IP addresses solely in conjunction with session cookies to analyse our Web page flow.

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that a Web site sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a Web site. The Test uses both session cookies (which expire once you close your Web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our site. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable this function by changing the cookie profile on your computer’s Web browser. If you disable your cookies, however, you will not have access to certain features of our site, such as "Remember My Password" or interactive quizzes.  The Test does not store any Personal Data in cookies on your computer (other than the cookie itself).

"Clear GIFs" are clear electronic images that are used to track your movements on our site. They help us to determine whether content on our site is effective. We also use clear GIFs in HTML-based e-mails to let us know which e-mails have been opened and acted upon by recipients (including any persons to which the e-mails have been forwarded). Clear GIFs on our sites collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the clear GIF resides. This information helps us assess the effectiveness of certain communications and marketing campaigns.

Personal Data That We Collect from You About Others
If you decide to invite a friend or family member to join The Test via an article or piece of advice, or other means in the future, we will collect your name and e-mail address as well as your friends or family member’s e-mail address in order to send this e-mail. This information is used once only and is not saved in our database. If you decide to invite a friend or family member to take The Test, we will collect and save the friends or family member’s e-mail address into our database, as we would for anyone who registers on The Test site.

Personally Identifying Data Collected by Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Privacy Statement, only The Test collects Personally Identifying Data through the services provided solely by The Test; this Privacy Statement applies only to the use and disclosure of Personally Identifying Data that we collect while you use our services.

These companies may use information (not including your name, e-mail address, or postal address) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Furthermore, when you click on such advertisements or links, you will leave our site and go to another site. During this process, a third party (including a third-party advertising service that may provide services to an advertiser) may collect Personally Identifying Data or Anonymous Data from you, such as the URL you just came from, the URL you go to next, your browser type, and your IP address. Our display of advertisements or links to any other company or site is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such company or site (or the contents of the site). We have no control over, we do not review, and our Privacy Statement does not apply to these other companies, sites, or content, or to any collection of data after you click on an advertisement of or link to a third party.

We also use Personal Data to notify you about updates to our services and to respond to your requests.

We may create Anonymous Data records from Personal Data by excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you.

We may share some or all of your Personal Data and Personal Postal Data with these affiliates, in which case we will require our affiliates to honour this Privacy Statement. If another company acquires our company or our assets, that company will possess the Personal Data and Personal Postal Data collected by it and us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Data and Personal Postal Data as described in this Privacy Statement.

If you provide with Personal Postal Data, we may share your name and mailing address with our affiliates or other third-party businesses that offer goods or services that we believe may be of interest to our customers. Many customers appreciate the offerings they receive from such third parties; however, we allow you to opt out of having your Personal Data shared with affiliated or unaffiliated third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
