Earthsun Essentials respects your concerns about privacy. 

This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information I collect, including through Earthsun Essentials’ website, how I use your personal information, with whom I share it and the choices available to you regarding our use of the information. The Policy also describes the measures I take to safeguard the personal information I collect, how individuals can contact me about my privacy practices, how to access and correct personal information I hold and how to make a complaint.

How I Collect Information 

In connection with the products and services I provide, I collect personal information through the Site, directly from you, including when you apply to be a Wellness Advocate or customer, purchase products from Earthsun Essentials online via my Site, or communicate with Earthsun Essentials.  

The Type of Information We Collect 

The types of personal information I collect includes: 

  • contact information, such as name, phone and fax number, and email and postal address;
  • information used to create your account to access the Site, such as birth date, spouse’s name, photo, preferred language, Enroller ID, Sponsor ID, online password, and, if you are a Wellness Advocate, ABN number (or equivalent);

  • other personal information contained in content you submit to me, such as through the “Feedback” feature, public forums or customer support tools on the Site.  

Information I Collect by Automated Means

When you interact with the Site, I collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s web browser or to store information or settings in the browser.

I may use these automated technologies to collect information about your equipment, browsing actions and usage patterns. The information I obtain in this manner may include your device IP address, other identifiers associated with your devices, web browser characteristics, device characteristics, language preferences, referring/exit pages, clickstream data, and dates and times of Site visits. These technologies help me (1) remember your information so you will not have to re-enter it; (2) track and understand how you use and interact with my products, services and Site; (3) tailor my products, services and Site around your preferences; (4) measure the usability of my products, services and Site and the effectiveness of my communications; and (5) otherwise manage and enhance my products, services and Site. 

Your web browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of my Site. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device. To the extent required by applicable law, I will obtain your consent before using cookies or similar tools. 

How I Use and Disclose the Information I Collect

I may use and disclose the information I collect about you to:

  • provide my products and services to you;
  • send promotional materials, newsletters and other communications about my products and services;
  • establish and manage your account with Earthsun Essentials;
  • process and fulfill orders in connection with my products and services and keep you informed about the status of your order;

  • increase and maintain the safety and security of my products and services and prevent misuse;
  • perform data analytics (including market research, trend analysis, financial analysis, and anonymisation and aggregation of personal information);

Third-Party Analytics Services

I use third-party web analytics services on the Site, including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. These service providers use automated technologies to collect data (such as IP addresses) to evaluate use of the Site. To learn more about Google Analytics and how to opt out, please visit https://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

Online Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising 

I may collect information about your online activities to provide you with advertising about products and services tailored to your interests. Where required by applicable law, I will obtain your consent for the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes. 

You may see my ads on other websites or mobile apps because I participate in advertising networks. Ad networks allow me to target my messaging to users considering demographic data, users’ inferred interests and browsing context. These networks track users’ online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of cookies, web server logs, web beacons and other similar technologies. The networks use this information to show ads that may be tailored to individuals’ interests, to track users’ browsers or devices across multiple websites or apps, and to build a profile of users’ online browsing activities. The information my ad networks may collect includes data about users’ visits to websites and apps that participate in the relevant ad networks, such as the pages or ads viewed and the actions taken on the websites or apps. This data collection takes place both on the Site and on third-party websites and apps that participate in the ad networks. This process also helps me track the effectiveness of my marketing efforts.

Information Sharing

I do not sell or otherwise share personal information about you except as described in this Privacy Policy.

If you are a Earthsun Essentials account holder, I also share your personal information with the account’s sales organisation (including distributors) for the purpose of administering sales, distribution of Earthsun Essentials products, and providing reports of activities to other Earthsun Essentials account holders.    

I also may disclose information about you (1) if I am required to do so by law or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena); (2) in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities; (3) to establish, exercise or defend my legal rights; (4) when I believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical or other harm or financial loss; (5) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (6) otherwise with your consent.

I may also transfer personal information I have about you in the event I sell or transfer all or a portion of my business or assets (including in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganisation, divestiture, dissolution or liquidation).

I offer you certain choices in connection with the personal information I obtain about you.

You may (1) access certain personal information I hold about you; (2) request that I update or correct your personal information; and (3) object to the use of your personal information or withdraw your prior consent, if applicable. Please note that in some circumstances where you do not provide me with certain personal information which I require, I may no longer be able to provide you with goods or services or, maintain your account with us. To exercise these rights, please contact us as indicated in the How To Contact Me section of this Privacy Policy. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, I may take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the information. In certain circumstances, an administrative charge may apply before I provide you with access to personal information requested, but I will tell you this before I proceed with your request

How I Keep and Protect Personal Information 

I maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure or use.

Sometimes I also keep hard copy records of this personal information in physical storage facilities.  I use a range of physical and technical security processes and procedures to protect the confidentiality and security of the information that I hold, and I update these from time to time to address new and emerging security threats.
