The Anonymous Information collected by TF Diet consists of (1) the date, time and length of your visit; (2) your Internet browser, operating system or Internet service provider; (3) the referring site, advertisement or email linking to and from the Site; (4) aggregated demographic and geographic information provided by Google Analytics. TF Diet may, from time to time, also collect information regarding your wireless device (if any) and your wireless communications carrier. TF Diet may aggregate, use and share Anonymous Information with third parties for marketing and advertising purposes.

The second type of information we collect is individually identifiable information, meaning information that can identify an individual or may, with reasonable efforts, lead to the identification of an individual (“PII”).  PII collected by TF Diet consists of contact details provided by users when they signup up for a newsletter or submit content (e-mail address, full name, contact information), browsing and usage session details (IP address, geo-location, device unique identifiers), details regarding connected third-party accounts (which may include PayPal, Google, and Facebook), correspondence through the Site, and any other PII provided directly by users and visitors to TF Diet. If any Anonymous Information is linked to PII, it is treated as PII as long as the connection exists.

Our comments are run through Disqus, please review their privacy policy here for how they use your information. Use your discretion when using these services. It is your responsibility to review what information you wish to share on the Site. You are solely responsible for any public content you share.
