Cookies and Web Beacons

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features.

We also use third party advertisements on InstructionalFitness.com to support our site.  Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.  This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing California real estate ads to someone in California, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing shopping ads to someone who frequents shopping sites).

You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security.  However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites.  This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into accounts.

Personal Information About Customers Gathered by InstructionalFitness.com:

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at InstructionalFitness.com.

Information You Give Us:

We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our marketplace, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information:

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses InstructionalFitness.com or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of InstructionalFitness.com on other Web sites.

Information from Other Sources:

We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.

Cookies:

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer\\\'s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide certain features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on\\\'s settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of InstructionalFitness.com\\\'s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any InstructionalFtiness.com products and services that require you to Sign in.

Shared Information

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries Instructional Fitness, LLC controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:

We work closely with affiliated businesses. In some cases, such as Marketplace sellers, these businesses sell products and/or provide services to you at InstructionalFitness.com. In other cases, we sell products, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses. When a third party is involved in your transactions, we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party.

Third-Party Service Providers:

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Business Transfers:

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Instructional Fitness, LLC, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of InstructionalFitness.com and Others:

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of InstructionalFitness.com, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

With Your Consent:

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

Security of Information Received:

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.

It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites

Our site includes third-party advertising and links to other Web sites. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party Web sites. These third-party Web sites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on our Web site directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party Web sites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices. 

InstructionalFitness.com also displays personalized third-party advertising based on personal information about customers, such as purchases on InstructionalFitness.com. Although InstructionalFitness.com does not provide any personal information to advertisers, advertisers (including ad-serving companies) may assume that users who interact with or click on a personalized advertisement meet their criteria to personalize the ad.

Accessible Information:

InstructionalFitness.com gives you access to a broad range of information about your account and your interactions with InstructionalFitness.com for the limited purpose of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.

Choices You Have:

As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such InstructionalFitness.com features as your account, and member/customer reviews. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.

The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on\\\'s settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of InstructionalFitness.com\\\'s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on.
