Such Personally Identifiable Information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number and birth date (primarily for eligibility purposes). We may request Personally Identifiable Information from you when you register on our Website. We will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. Unless you give us permission to do so, we will not sell, share, license, trade or rent your Personally Identifiable Information other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.
You do not have to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information to visit our Website. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to visit all sections of our Website or use all of our Online Resources.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-Personally Identifiable Information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Website. Non-Personally Identifiable Information is used to help us understand who uses our Website and to improve its features.
Information from Other Sources
We may also supplement the information we collect with information from other sources to assist us in evaluating and improving our Website and Online Resources, to determine your preferences so that we can tailor our Website and Online Resources to your needs, and/or to study nutritional, weight-loss, behavioural, emotional and fitness questions in general.

"Cookies" are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device in order to identify (i) your Web browser, (ii) the activities of your computer on our Website and (iii) your activity in connection with our advertisements and other marketing and promotional efforts. Cookies may be used to: personalize your experience on our Website (e.g., to dynamically generate content on web pages specifically designed for you), assist you in using our Online Resources (e.g., to save you time by not having to reenter your name upon each visit to our Website), and allow us to statistically monitor how you are using our Website for purposes of improving our online offerings.
You do not have to accept cookies to use our Website, however, you may not be able to use certain resources of our Website if you do not accept cookies.

"Action tags," also known as web beacons or GIF tags, are a web technology used to help track anonymous website usage information, such as how many times a specific page has been viewed. Action tags are invisible to you, and any portion of our Website, including advertisements, or e-mail sent on our behalf, may contain action tags. Unlike cookies, action tags are not placed on your computer.
By using cookies and action tags together, we are able to gain valuable information to improve our Website and our Online Resources and measure the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns.

This Privacy Policy does not govern the use by third-party websites or providers of third-party advertising.

We will notify users of any such transfer through notice on our site and through email.
DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY APPLY WHEN YOU LINK TO OTHER WEBSITES?
Our Website contains links to other websites not owned or operated by T1D Huddle.

IS THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT SECURE?
We want your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to remain as secure as possible.

Notwithstanding the above commitments to protect your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) from loss, misuse or alteration by third parties, you should be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet. There is also some risk that others could find a way to thwart our security systems.
