The website ehmeals.com ("Website") is owned and operated by Effortlessly Healthy LLC. (“Effortlessly Healthy”). Effortlessly Healthy is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors’ personally identifiable information. The following privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains our online information practices, use of the information you provide us via the Website and the choices you can make about the way your information is used by Effortlessly Healthy. By using the Website and providing personally identifiable information about yourself, you hereby consent to (1) our Terms of Use, (2) our collection, use, and sharing of data as described in this Privacy Policy; (3) the notice, choice, access, and security we are providing, as described above; and (4) the methods we have described to notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy.
Effortlessly Healthy may gather information about you from the Website and from other sources, such as information you provide to our affiliated companies, including affiliated websites (which may be owned and/or operated by persons having no ownership relationship with Effortlessly Healthy) or may be an entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with Effortlessly Healthy (“Affiliates”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by other means or information collected on any other Effortlessly Healthy, affiliate, or third-party site or by any third-party application that may link to or be accessible from the Website.
As a general rule, you will not be required to provide personally identifiable information as a condition to your browsing the Website. When such information is gathered, we will gather a limited scope of information from you that is necessary to facilitate the requests submitted by you, to improve this Website and your experience with the Website, and to make future visits to the Website easier and more personalized for you.

Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect certain information from you, including but not limited to:
- names
- physical addresses
- telephone numbers
- e-mail addresses
- dietary preferences
- all other personally identifiable information you affirmatively provide to us.
Failing to provide information that is required to complete certain transactions will not prevent you from browsing the Website, but it may prevent you from being able to complete certain transactions and/or prevent us from contacting you in order to put you in contact with the appropriate vendor(s).
The general categories of information we gather include:
Personal User Information
We may also require that you supply your name, physical address, telephone number, e-mail address or other personally identifiable information in order to facilitate certain transactions. We may also require additional personal information to provide specific services to you.
Anonymous User Information
Certain non-personal, anonymous information may be automatically provided to our Web servers by your computer. Additionally, certain other information (such as cookies, described below) may be transmitted by our Web server to your computer. That information does not contain any personally identifiable information. Specific types of anonymous information are described below:
IP Addresses
For each visitor to the Website, whenever possible, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor’s domain name or IP address. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. As part of the protocol of the Internet, Web servers can identify your computer by its IP address. In addition, Web servers may be able to identify the type of browser you are using or even the type of computer.
We collect IP addresses and related information for the purposes of system administration, to assess the traffic to the Website and to maintain and improve the Website. Although it is not our practice to link IP addresses to your personally identifiable information, we reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to protect the compelling interest of our business, the Website, users of the Website or others or to comply with laws, court orders, or law enforcement requests.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are short strings of text sent from a Web server to a Web browser when the browser accesses a website. In simplest terms, when the browser requests a page from the Web server that originally sent it the cookie, the browser sends a copy of the cookie back to that Web server. A cookie typically contains, among other things, the name of the cookie, a unique identification number, and an expiration date and domain name information. Cookies are used for personalization, tracking and other purposes. Cookies may be “session-only” or “persistent.” Persistent cookies last for more than one visit and are typically used to allow a visitor to the Website to personalize their experience.
We may use cookies to analyze the traffic on the Website (such as total visitors and pages viewed), to personalize features or save you the trouble of retyping your name or other information, and to make improvements to the Website based on the data we collect. We do not save passwords or other sensitive information in cookies. The use of cookies has become a standard in the Internet industry, especially at websites that provide any kind of personalized service.
Cookies may also be placed by third parties prior to or during your visit to the Website, and some advertisements on the Website are served by third-party advertising companies. Our Vendors, Affiliates, business partners, and other third-party advertisers may also use cookies alone, in connection with pixel tracking (discussed below) or otherwise. We do not control these cookies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement, you should contact the responsible advertiser directly. The use of cookies by content providers and advertisers has become standard practice in the Internet industry.
Pixel Tracking
Effortlessly Healthy may employ a common technique usually referred to as “pixel tracking” to measure the effectiveness of marketing and advertisements, as well as compile aggregate usage statistics. Pixel tracking, which may be used in connection with advertisements on other sites, on the Website or in e-mail messages, involves the use of pixel tags (also known as “clear gifs,” “Web beacons” or “1-by-1 gifs”) that are not visible to the user of the site and consist of a few lines of computer coding. For example, if you visit the Website from an advertisement on another site, the pixel tag will reference the cookie you received when you clicked on the advertisement. The pixel tag also may register this activity with a business partner to allow us to count the number of times or when an advertisement is accessed. This data is collected for use in our marketing and research. Personally identifiable information about you is not collected by pixel tracking, nor is any tracking information generated from the pixel tag allowed to be used for any other purpose other than to report Website activity to us.
Other Information
We may also request other personally identifiable information from you, or you may affirmatively provide us with such information. As a general matter, we try to limit the information we gather to the minimum information we need to perform the applicable services and to improve your experience on the Website. If you send an e-mail to the Website or otherwise affirmatively provide us with information beyond what we request, we will treat such information as having your consent to collect, retain and use such information for purposes reasonably associated with the purpose for which you provided the information. For example, we may retain a copy of the e-mail and any personally identifiable information you may have supplied in the e-mail with respect to a user service question to help us evaluate our service, train our employees and provide better service to our users.
How We Use The Collected Information
Users of the Website may browse without being obligated to submit any personal information; however, we may collect certain personally identifiable information from you in certain areas of the Website for certain purposes. We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information, in the following ways:
- to provide information to us, to owners or operators of affiliated Websites, and to any vendor of the products or service that you express an interest in purchasing or licensing;
- to provide information to one of our guest authors (a "Guest Author") whose article you have specifically requested to download;
- to conduct other transactions offered by Effortlessly Healthy that you may request;
- to service your account with us and to respond to your questions;
- to provide Effortlessly Healthy’s newsletter to you via e-mail;
- to assist us in providing better products and services (for example, we may contact you to assist us in evaluating the performance of our staff, assessing the quality of product or service received or helping us improve the Website and our facilities and services); and,
- to compile and aggregate statistics and analyses about users’ use of the Website, products and services, which statistics are used to enable us to provide better service and products to you and others in the future.
Other Sources of Information
We collect the user information described above by means of your use of the Website and the features of the Website. For example, information is collected in connection with online transactions, with the registration of users, and with the provision of information and/or services.
Data collected online may also be combined or merged with information you provide to us by means other than the Website as part of the standard business operations of Effortlessly Healthy and its Affiliates; provided, however, this Privacy Policy applies only to data collected on-line. If the same information about you is gathered from the Website and also from other sources with different or no privacy policies, Effortlessly Healthy may elect, in its sole discretion, to treat such information in accordance with the privacy policy that least restricts our use and disclosure of such information.
When you use the Website, you may be linked or directed to other third party sites outside the Website that are beyond our control. For example, you might click on a hyperlink that will take you off the Website. Third party Websites may have a privacy policy different from our Privacy Policy. You should review the applicable privacy policies of all other Websites before providing personally identifiable information in connection with such sites. We are not responsible for any actions or privacy policies of such third parties. In addition, third parties who assist us with pixel tracking may collect a limited amount of information to help us measure the effectiveness of ads, usually by placing cookies on your hard drive.
