Information We Collect and How We Use It
Personal Account Information: If you choose to sign-up for our subscription box service, or engage in other transactions or activities (for example surveys or sweepstakes entries, among other things), or sign up for other services, on our Services, you will likely be asked to provide certain basic information, such as your name, e-mail, address, telephone number and credit card or other payment information, which we need in order to enter into a transaction agreement with you and to provide you with the goods or services you have requested. You may also be asked to provide some information about your preferences, tastes or individual characteristics. All of this information submitted by you will be subject to this Privacy Policy and is called “Personal Account Information.”
My Herbal Box may use your Personal Account Information to perform our agreement with you by providing products, services and information requested by you and to operate, maintain, customize and personalize your experience with the Services and My Herbal Box products and services. As part of our agreement with you, we may also use Personal Account Information to contact you or send you notifications about products and services that you have ordered. We may also, on the basis of your consent or our legitimate business interests, send you notifications about products and services that we otherwise think may be of interest to you. You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the opt-out mechanism in the notification or contacting us directly.
My Herbal Box may provide your Personal Account Information to third-party service providers that we engage to assist us with the operation of the Services and the provision of products and services. Such access is provided with the understanding that these parties will use the information for these limited purposes and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Unless otherwise disclosed at the time of collection of information, My Herbal Box does not share Personal Account Information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. My Herbal Box may, however, provide Personal Account Information to service-providers who provide marketing insights, such as lookalike models or other statistical research. These insights, which do not contain your Personal Account Information, may be shared with other third parties. My Herbal Box may also provide general demographic, aggregated, or de-identified information about Users and customers and their preferences to advertisers and other existing or prospective business partners.
Technical Data: When a User visits the website Services, we may collect information regarding the User’s browser type and Internet Protocol (“IP”) address and store such information through use of “cookies.” A cookie is a small file containing a string of alphanumeric characters that uniquely identifies your browser. The cookies enable My Herbal Box to confirm that Users have visited previously, to keep track of the status of your shopping cart, and to perform other functions on the Services. You can set your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. However, if you set your browser to disable all cookies, some features of the Services may not function properly.
Also, when you use the website Services, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends automatically whenever you visit the Services. These server logs may include information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, the amount of time spent on particular pages, tracking your interactions with the Services, and the date and time of your use of the Services.
Referral Information: We often invite Users to tell a friend about our products or services. In that event, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend an email inviting them to subscribe to My Herbal Box’s box program or other product or service, and we will typically include a discount or other promotion to encourage your friend to become a User or customer. This information may be used to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at hello@MyHerbalBox.com to request that we remove their information from our database.
Information from Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from other sources and combine or link that with the information we have collected about you. To the extent we combine such third-party sourced information with your Personal Account Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Account Information under this Privacy Policy. We may also contract with third party vendors to pool browsing information about your visits to our website with other sources of information for purposes of determining whether you might be interested in receiving advertising, including direct mail or a catalog.

Third-Party Advertising
My Herbal Box permits third-party advertisers to provide advertisements to you through the Services. Although Personal Account Information may be used to send or display targeted advertisements, My Herbal Box does not provide any Personal Account Information to those advertisers other than in aggregated or de-identified fashion. Advertisers may also download cookies onto your computer, or use other technology like web beacons, to enable them to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement whether or not you are visiting the My Herbal Box site or another site and in some cases, the information in these cookies and in other technologies may be linked to data you voluntarily submitted to us, such as your email address, which we may share in hashed or encrypted form. As a result, the advertiser would have the ability to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe would be of most interest to you. My Herbal Box does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed on your computer by third-party advertisers. We also use remarketing services to advertise our products to you on third party web sites after you have visited our Sites.
In some instances you can opt-out of receiving personalized ads from third party advertisers and ad networks. Advertisers and ad networks that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising provide opt-out choices at the following websites:
Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to help keep information secure and to help prevent it from becoming disclosed. Even though we follow reasonable procedures to try to protect the information in our possession, no security system is perfect so we cannot guarantee, and you should not expect, that your information will be secure in all circumstances.
Choice
We do not collect, use, or disclose your Personal Account Information in any ways or for any purposes that are materially different from those set forth herein. However, if we wish to do so in the future, we will obtain your consent first, and offer you the choice to opt-out of such collection, use, or disclosure.
Data Quality, Access, and Rectification
We will make reasonable efforts to ensure your Personal Account Information is accurate and complete and we will update or correct your information as needed when notified by you. In addition, you can manage your Personal Account Information through your My Herbal Box account. If you would like to request access to your personal information, request to verify your personal information, identify any inaccuracy in your personal information, or change your personal information in any way, please contact us.
