compliant, and whom we have either completed a data processing agreement with or have

Your information is stored through a data management system, and it is important to us to take
appropriate measures to ensure your information is kept confidential. You understand that there
are limited purposes where we will share your confidential information, including with those
who are providing technical support for our website, or those who are members of our team,
including legal and accounting. Any parties who will have access to your information will keep
such information confidential and will never share with any unrelated parties to the best of our
abilities. information provided by you will never be shared, sold, or given to any other company
or person without your consent, other than what is required to complete a purchase or request
you have made, unless required to do so by law, or any governmental requirements. We require
all such third parties to treat your personal information in accordance with the law, and only
allow them to process your personal data for specific, necessary purposes.
Please be aware we may disclose information provided if we are required to do so by law, or if
there is an honest, good faith belief that such disclose is necessary to protect the rights of our
website or of Stronger Bodies that any portion of our policies are being violated, to prevent or
mitigate a belief that a crime may being committed, or to protect that safety or rights of our other
uses. This information may also be shared as a result of the sale of Stronger Bodies, Inc. or any
branch of the company, as well as with any joint venture partners or affiliate marketers, should
we deem it necessary to share such information. We will always take all reasonable measures to
protect and safeguard your information.
Regardless of the country where you reside, you acknowledge that you are directly transferring
your data to our website servers based in the United States and agree to processing within the
United States, where Namecheap (the website host) processes its data. In addition, you authorize
us to transfer, process, store and use your information in countries other than your own in
accordance with this Privacy Policy and to provide you with Services. Some of these countries
may not have the same data protection safeguards as the country where you reside. By visiting
our Website, you acknowledge this information, and by submitting any personal information
onto our Website, you hereby authorize this transfer and processing of information about you to
these countries.
By collecting and using your personal data, We are acting as a data controller, meaning we
determine what information is collected, how long it is stored, and what the Personal Information
will be used for. We utilize a third-party company to act as a data processor, which stores
information such as names and email addresses that make up our email list. To the best of our
ability, we have researched and concluded that all third-party data processors we use have
advised us they are compliant with the General Data Protection Regulations as well.
Information Protection & Security
We use commercially reasonable methods to safeguard your personal data, including that which
you provide to use, and that which we collect automatically, by using reasonable online security
measures, and sharing your data with reputable third party vendors that are compliant with
generally accepted security and safety measures. We utilize a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on our
website in order to assist in the secure transfer of information; however, it can never be
guaranteed. Should We become aware that a data breach has occurred, We will timely notify the
necessary parties with as much information as we have available.
While our team does our best to protect the information we collect, and prevent any misuse,
unauthorized access, or disclosure, you understand that we cannot be responsible should an
unauthorized third party obtain access to our information, without our consent. Should our
website be tampered with, you understand that your personal information may be accessed by
these unauthorized parties. You agree that we are not responsible for any such actions, and
acknowledge you will hold us harmless should your information become intercepted in this way
without our knowledge, permission, or consent, which includes a release of any and all claims
related to use of such information by such an unauthorized party.
We have determined it is not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer, as our core activities
do not consist of processing operations that require regular and systematic monitoring of data
subjects nor do we process sensitive categories of data on a large scale.
Data Retention
We will retain the minimum amount of Personal Information required of yours, including name,
email address, and behavior tracking, as long as you elect to remain on our mailing list, and any
additional Personal Information as long as it is needed in order to fulfil the purpose for which it

information as necessary in order to comply with any legal obligations, resolve any disputes, or
as otherwise reasonably determined. If at any point you elect to be removed from our database,
