California Privacy Notice

The California Consumer Act Privacy Notice (CCPA Notice) is applicable to California consumers as stipulated in the Act. In this Notice, Personal Information is referred to as PI.

We collect and share PI in the following categories from the corresponding sources and purposes as in the table provided below.

Additionally, we may at times gather, use, and share your PI only as permitted and required by applicable law, or as consented by you according to this Privacy Policy.

We do not “sell” PI that we obtain from you knowingly as per the definition of “sell” in the CCPA. We will therefore, treat personal information as subject to a do not sell request.

Currently, there is no consensus on whether third-party cookies and tracking devices related to our mobile apps and websites constitute a “sale” of your PI as stipulated by the CCPA. You can control browser-based cookies by altering the settings on your browser. We list cookies along with privacy information as well as opt-out programs in the Cookie policy.

We do not recognize browsers with do not track signals to operate in a way that indicates a do not sell request. However, we acknowledge that some parties are setting up do not sell alerts and, in such cases, we may pick those signals if we deem the program or case as fit.

California Consumers are free to exercise their privacy rights in accordance with the CCPA. California Consumers may apply these rights through an authorized representative who is qualified as per the CCPA requirements. Any request you forward to us will be subjected to a residency and identification verification procedure (Verifiable Consumer Request). As such, being able to satisfy your CCPA request would be impossible, unless you give us additional and sufficient information that we can verify that you are the customer whom we obtained PI. Our identity verification process entails us sending you an email to the email address you give to us, where you will need to respond as described in the email. This will allow or help us in verifying that you are the consumer who made the request and have access to the email address provided with the request. If we are unable to verify your identity, this makes it hard on us to fulfill your request, and thus we will not. For further information about the verification process, please follow the instructions provided at the “Consumer Rights Request” page here and answer all the follow up inquiries.

Most of the personal information we retain about consumers is not detailed enough to help us verify the particular Consumer’s personal information. As per the CCPA, we do not include personal or private details when responding to Verifiable Consumer Requests. In the event that we cannot comply with your request, we will provide an explanation in our response.

We will make reasonable commercial efforts to identify Consumer PI we obtain, process, store, share, and use to fulfill your California Consumer privacy rights requests. We will not charge a fee unless your requests are excessive, overly burdensome, unfounded, and repetitive. Based on these reasons, we can also reject your request.

To make a Consumer privacy rights request or to request deletion of your PI, please contact us.

Alternatively, you may exercise control of your PI by using opt-out strategies such as unsubscribing from email newsletters.

We will not discriminate Consumers in any way that is unacceptable under the CCPA. However, our charges and quality of goods and services will vary reasonably in relation to the value of applicable data. Additionally, we may provide financial incentives for collection, use, sale, and retention of your PI as acceptable by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality. Details of the financial incentive will be expounded in its program terms. Note that taking part in incentive programs is entirely voluntary, you have to opt-in for participation and you can opt-out of each program to terminate your participation by following the instructions provided in the program terms.

Domain Name Cookie Disclosure

This cookie disclosure aims to inform you about the use of cookies on this website and your choices regarding them. We may change this disclosure at any time, but we will notify you of any significant changes to it before they take effect.

Use of Cookies on this Website

Cookies are tiny encrypted text files (typically numbers and letters) that are downloaded on to your device when you access our Website. When cookies store data to the extent that they can identify a consumer via their device, they are considered personal data.

Our Website may use cookies to collect information about the pages that consumers visit to help us redesign our Sites and provide users with the most useful information. Cookies can expire at the end of a browsing session or can be stored longer.

You are not obliged to accept our cookies and you can restrict their use or delete them after they are downloaded on your hard drive. Please note that if you do not accept our cookies, some Sites may take longer to work or may not function properly.

Types of Cookies

We use cookies to help validate users in logging in to a secure area of the website. Cookies store login information to allow users to enter and leave the website without having to undergo the same authentication process over and over again. The types of cookies are;

Session cookies – these cookies store information about user page interactions allowing users to pick up where they left off on the site. Essentially, these cookies work as “bookmarks” within the site. They also store ordering information thus remembering what a user put in the shopping cart.
Persistent cookies – these cookies are used to store user preferences. Most websites allow a user to customize how they want information presented to them. These cookies are used for various purposes such as remembering user preferences and choices as well as target advertising.

Cookie Security and Privacy Issues

Cookies are NOT viruses. They use plain text format and not compiled pieces of code therefore, they are not self-executing and cannot be executed. For that reason, they cannot replicate themselves and spread to other networks.

Since cookies are unable to perform these functions, they do not fall under the standard virus definition.

However, cookies CAN be unsafe or used for malicious purposes. With their ability to store information about a browser’s preference and choices, they be used to hide spyware programs.

Most anti-spyware software providers are conversant with this threat and will regularly flag cookies for deletion after spyware or standard virus scans have been performed.

Other Cookie-Based Threats

Cookies can pose a threat to a user’s identity protection. Since cookies are transferred between a browser and website, an unauthorized person may get hold of the sensitive cookie information.

While this may be rare, it is most likely to happen if the browser is connected to a server that is using an encrypted network for instance a non-secured WiFi channel. Using anti-virus protection is the best way to attain internet security.

The exploitation of incorrect cookie-setting on servers, systems or network presents another cookie-based threat. This occurs on websites where browsers are not required to deploy encrypted avenues only. Attackers can take advantage of this vulnerability and trick browsers to transmit sensitive information via insecure channels. These attackers may then use the siphoned data for unauthorized purposes.

Consumers are exposed to millions of products on the internet. As Wellness Digest, we want to make your search easy and reliable.

Our product review team works hard to present users with well researched content on health products so as to make smart purchase decisions. We receive an affiliate commission on some products that we feature, but only when you click through to the retailer site and make a purchase.

Since our independent writers are unaware of the terms of our affiliate partnerships, you can rest assured that the content we present is authentic, trustworthy, and unbiased. To further provide a balanced review, we buy all the products that we recommend with our own money. We do not accept free products from manufacturers.

Our product content is written by writers with subject-matter expertise. We recommend products from reliable companies that offer good customer service to enhance your shopping experience. A team of dedicated editors work on checking the availability of products.

The list of recommendations is frequently revisited and updated to ensure the recommendations are accurate and effective.

A Standard Return Policy

A small business’s products can fail due to forces within or beyond the control of the customer. In either case, consumers have an expectation that a manufacturer or retailer will repair the product, exchange the product for the same item in good condition or issue a store credit. To accommodate the consumers’ expectations and assume the burden of loss that is a consequence of the sale or manufacture of a product, a company needs a standard returns policy.

Reasons for Returns

Depending on the retailer or manufacturer, individual consumers can return products for warranty service, product upgrades or cash refunds. For example, a consumer may return a product with a limited liability warranty due to defects in material or workmanship. A consumer might also purchase a product with an upgrade option that enables him to return the product in exchange for a more recent version. A retailer or manufacturer might also allow a customer to return a product for a refund or exchange if the customer is dissatisfied with the product because it did not function as expected or it was incompatible with another product.

Product Returns Process

After a customer returns a product to a company’s warehouse, an employee confirms the return of the product and all accompanying parts and instructions. If the returned product is in a sealed box, it’s returned to the distribution warehouse, and the business issues a customer credit for the purchase amount less any restocking fee. If the product’s packaging seal has been broken, the company tests the product’s function. If the product operates properly, it’s returned to the finished goods inventory. If the product is faulty, the company might repair it or disassemble the unit and use its parts to remanufacture other units that are sold as remanufactured units.

Returns Policy Content

A returns policy states the conditions under which a customer can return a product for cash, an exchange or a store credit and how he should package and ship the merchandise to the manufacturer or seller. For example, a customer might return a defective product or one that does not meet his expectations. However, a store may not allow the return of some products, including those without a sales tag. The policy may require that a product be returned in its original condition and original packaging with the related manuals and accessories. In addition, the policy will state the time period in which the customer may return a product and the first date of this period, such as the product’s original shipment date. In addition, the policy should specify who pays the shipping fees and if the store will deduct restocking fees from the store credit or refund that the customer will receive.

Benefit of Returns Policy

An easy-to-use returns policy in combination with a product guarantee provides consumers a sense of confidence that a retailer or manufacturer stands behind its products. The policy provides an up-front guarantee of customer satisfaction. If a product does not meet the customer’s expectations or if it is defective, the consumer has confidence that he can return the product for a replacement product, a refund or a store credit. Online stores offer desirable returns policies in part to compensate for the additional effort a customer must expend to return a defective or unwanted product to the store and for the delay in the receipt of a replacement product or refund.
