Gathering of Information
When a user/subscriber provides their email address and required personal information (first name, last name, postal address and telephone number) to HealthierMeToday.com , he/she is considered opted-in. A subscriber can also provide optional personal information including age, income, gender, and occupation, presence of credit card, presence of children, dwelling type and lifestyle preference. Once the initial opt-in has been completed, the individual receives an automatic responder message (ARM), to recognize the opt-in and notify the user of an on-line-based lifestyles survey he/she will receive. This survey serves as the third step of the permission-gathering process and second level of opt-in, gathering psychographic information on each user who decides to participate. As a final step in our process, we verify user information by processes such as NCOA (national change of address). Right to Opt-out: At any time, you may choose to discontinue your subscription to HealthierMeToday.com emails. Our opt-out policies are simple and in compliance with the CAN SPAM Act of 2003 and subsequent amendments. Every email message sent by us will have at least two opt-out opportunities in the form of hyperlinks or mailing addresses for our advertisers and list compilers.
