PRIVACY POLICY
Welcome to Balanced Babe. (“Balanced Babe”), and its principals, affiliates, subsidiaries and wholly owned business units, as well as Sarah Baker, Style Body Soul, LLC and their respective affiliates and principals (collectively, “Balanced Babe” or “us” or “we” or “our”). Balanced Babe has created this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy, and to disclose our information-gathering and dissemination practices. This privacy policy is here to tell you about, among other things, the information Balanced Babe collects through any of our Websites, including, but not limited to, balancedbabe.com, and through other means, how we use that information, how you can opt out of certain uses of the information we collect, and how Balanced Babe can make changes to this privacy policy.
But first a note about children’s privacy . . .
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently obtained personal information on a child under the age of 13, that information will be deleted from our systems. Balanced Babe encourages parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:
- Teach kids never to give out personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. This includes their name, address, phone number, school, etc.
- Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
- Look for Website and other privacy policies. Know how your child’s information is being treated.
What information does Balanced Babe collect?
In collecting your personal information, we aim to provide you with a more customized experience. This information lets us provide services and features that we think are more likely to meet your needs. Of course, users may be able to use our products or services or browse our Websites without providing any personal information, but once you give us this personal information, you are not anonymous to us.
Balanced Babe collects two types of information when you visit our Website(s) or you do business with us via any medium: information that may be used to identify you individually, such as your name, physical address, phone number, email address or date of birth (“personal information”); and non-personal information, such as IP addresses, the type of browser you are using, and aggregated information about user activities on our Website(s) (“non-personal information”).
Personal Information: We specifically request personal information from you at certain points on and off our Website(s). For example, when you call us, sign up for our products or subscriptions, visit or subscribe to our Website(s), use our mobile or web applications or when you purchase an item or service, we collect personal information which may include, without limitation, your name, shipping and billing addresses, telephone number, email address, credit card information, and date of birth. From time to time, we may also request or obtain personal information about you and your interests through surveys, contest/sweepstakes entry forms, our mobile applications, social media websites, or from Affiliated Companies or in other ways. You may always choose not to provide us with your personal information; however, this may limit our ability to provide you with a specific product or service or information, or to offer you personalized content.
Non-personal Information: When you visit our Website(s), we also collect non-personal information, such as your IP address, which is a number that can be used to identify your location and Internet Service Provider. We may also collect other information such as the type of browser or device you are using, the URL from which you came to our Website(s) and the URLs that you visited on our Website(s). A URL is the full address of a Website page, which may contain some personal or identifying information about the person who is viewing it.
Information We Obtain from Other Sources: We may collect information about you from other sources, including through interactive applications (such as mobile devices/applications and third-party services) and from commercially available sources (such as data aggregators and public databases). For example, if you access third-party services (such as Facebook Connect) through or in connection with our Website(s), we collect information available about you through those services, including, but not limited to, personal information as well as publicly observable data, such as activities on blogs, videos, and other online postings.
Use of Cookies: We also use a feature of your browser called a cookie to assign identification to your computer that may be placed by us or a third party with whom we partner. Cookies allow us to better understand your preferences and personalize the content on our Websites to give you a better overall shopping experience. The unique user ID contained within your cookie automatically identifies your computer—but not you—to our servers every time you visit our Website(s). Cookies by themselves cannot be used to find out the identity of any user, but may be combined with identity information in our log files. You can turn off the cookie feature by using your browser preference options, but you may not be able to utilize some of the features or services on our Websites properly. Current versions of many Web browsers offer enhanced user controls for the placement and duration of cookies. Search for “cookies” under your Web browser’s Help menu for more information on the cookie management features available to you.
Use of Pixel Tags: We also collect information through the use of “pixel tags” on our Websites and in email messages we may send to you that may be placed by us or a third party with whom we partner. Pixel tags, also known as “Web beacons,” are tiny graphic files, not visible to the human eye, that are included in HTML-encoded email messages. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program, the recipient’s computer will access our server to retrieve the pixel tag file, allowing us to record and store, along with the recipient’s email address, the date and time the recipient viewed the email message, the fact that the recipient’s email program is capable of receiving HTML-encoded email, and other standard logging information. The pixel tag may also see or read cookies. Balanced Babe may use pixel tags in order to measure and understand traffic better, to track visitor behavior to improve user experience, and for tracking promotional and marketing campaign response, among others. You can disable the pixel tag feature by changing your browser settings to omit images and disable Javascript; or there are commercial software packages available that can omit pixel tags and most advertisements.

Cookies (again): We may use cookie and IP address information to count and track Website visits and purchases in the aggregate, to personalize the Website(s) for each unique user, to control the frequency of individual advertisements to individual computers, and to target advertisements and promotions to broad demographic segments.

Legal Requirements: We may, in our sole discretion, disclose personal information when we deem necessary or appropriate to law enforcement or other entities or third parties as required by law or to protect our rights or the rights of others, to prevent harm to persons or property, to fight fraud, identity theft, or otherwise to comply with the law or legal process, to respond to claims, to protect our systems and customers, to ensure the integrity and operation of our business and systems, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Balanced Babe and its employees or others.

We may also disclose aggregate user data or non-personal information in order to describe our services to prospective business partners, advertisers, and others, but will do so only in a form that does not identify individual users.
Third Party Tools/Services: At various points and pages on our Website(s), you may be able to access or utilize tools and/or services offered by or in conjunction with third parties, including tools and services in connection with third-party “social media” and other sites that would allow personal information to be transferred to such third parties (for example, Facebook Connect). These third parties have separate data collection and privacy practices independent from ours, and thus Balanced Babe cannot be responsible for their policies or activities. Please contact those third parties directly if you have questions about their privacy policies.
Other Disclosures: Occasionally, we may disclose personal information in other circumstances, but we will only do this if we have explained at the time we collect the information the purpose for which it will be disclosed.

All of these forums are public. Please consider this before you post.
