COOKIES
We and our service providers collect information about users over time and across different websites and devices through the use of tracking tools including cookies, web beacons, clear GIFs, pixels, device identifiers and other online information-gathering tools (collectively, "cookies"). A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. All pages on our Site require that you accept cookies. If you are using our Site, these cookies may let us know who you are, are necessary to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver products and personalized services, and will provide us and our affiliate users with information that we will use to personalize our Site in accordance with your preferences. Cookies are also required to optimize your shopping experience in that they allow you to add multiple items to your order before completing your transaction. You may set your Web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. However, should you decide not to accept cookies from our Site, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our Site.
While the cookies that we use may change from time to time, we use cookies for the following purposes, including:
- To authenticate your account and store your password if you are a registered account holder;
- To monitor performance of our Services;
- To learn more about the way you interact with our content;
- To personalize your experience on our Sites, Apps and Social Media Services;
- To optimize and tailor our Sites and Apps;
- To make product recommendations and provide you with advertising content on our Services and elsewhere in which we think you will be interested;
- To measure the effectiveness of personalized ads;
- To pursue analytics and research to help us improve our Services and product offerings; and
- To better understand our Site visitors and App users and their respective interests, including by learning about your online activities across devices.
We and our service providers use cookies to learn about what ads you see, what ads you interact with, and other actions you take on our Services. This allows us to provide you with more useful and relevant ads on both Upper Echelon Nutrition-owned and operated Services and unaffiliated services. Interest-based ads, also sometimes referred to as personalized or targeted ads, are displayed to you based on information from activities such as browsing or purchasing on our Sites or Apps, or visiting external sites or apps that contain our content or ads. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) (a coalition of marketing and online advertising organizations). See "Advertising Preferences and Opt-out" below to opt-out of such advertising.
Third party advertising management partners may help us display tailored content to our customers' interests and serve interest-based advertising on our behalf. However, advertisers and other third-parties (including the ad networks, ad-serving companies, and other service providers they may use) may collect information through cookies about your browsing activity on our website to display interest-based ads. Also, some third-parties may provide us information about you (such as the sites where you have been shown ads or demographic information) from offline and online sources that we may use to provide you more relevant and useful advertising.
Advertisers or ad companies working on their behalf sometimes use technology to serve the ads that appear on our Sites directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize ad content. The information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by our Privacy Policy. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.
SECURITY
Our Company maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the Personal Information you provide to us.
ACCESS, CORRECTIONS OR DELETION OF YOUR INFORMATION
If you identify any inaccuracy in your Personal Information, or you need to make a change or would like to verify such information or have your information removed, please contact customer support in writing by e-mail at support@uenutrition.com
SECURITY
When you place orders on our Site, all of your order information, including your card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, the industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our Site from capturing and viewing your Personal Information. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant its complete security. No data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We shall not be responsible for any harm or loss that you or any person may suffer as a result of a breach of confidentiality in respect to your use of our Site or any information you transmit to our Site.
CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION
The Company serves general users of the World Wide Web. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13, nor do we share such information with third parties. Children under the age of 18 may use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

DO NOT TRACK
Some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your web browser may allow you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked. Third parties that have content embedded on Upper Echelon Nutrition’s website such as google.com/analytics/ may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific Upper Echelon Nutrition website from a certain IP address.
