Please view this page periodically. Although we may change this Policy, our fundamental commitment to privacy protection will not change.

Visitors may use our website without registering or submitting any personal information. In this case, we may collect non-personal information as explained below.
When visiting our website to order products, make requests, check your account, register or register to receive materials, we will ask you to provide specific personal information. Personal information means individually identifiable information from or about an individual consumer, including name, home address or physical address, street name and name of city or town, telephone number, email address and credit card information. This information is voluntarily provided on your part. It allows us to fulfill your order and otherwise operate our business.

Your personal information is confidential and will not be provided to others except as explained in Our Use and Disclosure of Information section. You may always choose not to provide information.
- Information We Collect Automatically. We do not automatically collect personal information. To enhance your visit to our website, we use “cookies,” a standard feature of browser software used by most Websites. Cookies are small data files automatically stored on your computer that assist us in serving you. In general, cookies do not contain personally identifiable information unless you specifically supply the information. We use cookies to store information such as temporary session identification numbers and MNE account numbers—if you choose to establish an account and sign in on the sign-in page. We do not use cookies to store personal information or link non-personal information stored in cookies with personal data about specific individuals. MNE does not collect information about you from other sources, such as public records or private organizations.
Our use and disclosure of information
- As explained above, we use the information we collect on our site to enhance your overall experience while visiting the site and to assist you in placing an order.
- We do not collect or use personal information for any purposes outside of customer service, website administration, online shopping and company communications. We will always obtain your consent before using personal information for any other purpose.
- MNE does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to outside parties. We value our customers’ privacy and will not jeopardize our relationship with customers by selling their information to solicitors.
Our commitment to data security
Keeping personal information secure is a top priority.
To prevent unauthorized access and to maintain data accuracy, we have implemented administrative, technical and physical safeguards to secure the information we collect.
To ensure a secure connection whenever transmitting or receiving personal information, MNE uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, which systematically scrambles numbers and letters. The SSL automatically encrypts all information before it is transmitted over the Internet in a format only the sending and receiving computers can decode. SSL ensures that data is protected from others. To proceed securely through the purchase process using this encryption technology, you need an Internet browser that supports 128-bit encryption, such as Microsoft Explorer. A secure connection is maintained until the checkout process is completed or cancelled.
Our commitment to children’s privacy
We believe that it is vital to protect children’s privacy. MNE does not sell to children under 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you may only use this website under the supervision of a parent or guardian. We do not collect or maintain personal information from children under 13. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, MNE does not knowingly collect or use personal information from children under 13.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to sites not controlled or operated by MNE. Once you access another site, you are subject to the privacy policy at the new site. Any links are provided as a service to you, and Nature’s Sunshine does not endorse and is not responsible for the content or policies of any other sites.
