Privacy Policy
Privacy and security are important to us all. We pursue a full-disclosure
approach to care responsibly for the information you have entrusted
with us. This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") discloses
the privacy practices of Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss, Inc., ("Ram", "us", "our", "we", "Company")
and our website (www.trimtalk.com, the "Website"). By
using the Website, you agree, without limitation or qualification,
to be bound by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy applies
only to information collected by us online.
BY USING OUR WEBSITE, YOU SIGNIFY YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS PRIVACY
POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU SHOULD
NOT USE OUR WEBSITE. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF OUR WEBSITE FOLLOWING
THE POSTING OF CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY WILL MEAN THAT
YOU ACCEPT THOSE CHANGES.
INFORMATION COLLECTED ABOUT YOU
In General Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss, Inc., collects two
kinds of information: (1) Personally identifiable information
("Personal Information")
voluntarily provided by visitors through optional registration
or other methods and (2) non-personally identifiable information
routinely gathered as visitors navigate through our Website.
Personal Information
You are free to visit and use our Website without providing any
Personal Information. However, to benefit from membership we
require the submission of Personal Information. In order to
take advantage of the products that we offer on our Website,
you will have to provide Personal Information. The Personal
Information we might request from you may include your name,
mailing address, city, state, zip code, phone number and if
you are making a purchase your billing and credit card information.
Providing Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss, Inc., with your Personal
Information is strictly voluntary.
In some cases, we must share your Personal Information in order
to fulfill your request(s). For example, we may use third party
credit card processing companies and shipping fulfillment companies
to fulfill your order. Additionally, from time to time we offer
products or services on our Websites that are provided by third
parties. If you do not wish for us to share your Personal Information
in this manner, please do not place orders on our Website.
In order to obtain access to certain services on our Website,
you must complete a registration form. Our Registration Form
webpage's request that you submit the following information:
your name, a selected username and password, email address, mailing
address, city, state and zip code, gender, email address, age,
and credit card information.
We use the Personal Information you provide through registration
to fulfill your request for products from us; to bill you and
conduct other billing and account activity; and for customer
service purposes. From time to time we might need to update you
about your account, contact you regarding a billing question,
notify you about changes to our products or new products and/or
services, or otherwise send you service-related announcements.
For example, if a product you purchase from us is discontinued,
we might send you an email to notify you of that. Or, we may
need to contact you with respect to a billing matter. You will
not be able to unsubscribe from these transactional emails. You
will be permitted to unsubscribe from all other emails that are
not transactional in nature. You may decide to not receive these
communications at any time by notifying Ram Nutrition and Weight
Loss, Inc., either through the opt-out link in the footing of
every e-mail or by emailing help@trimtalk.com.
By requesting our service, you consent to Ram Nutrition and
Weight Loss, Inc. contacting you about your account. Based upon
the Personal Information you provide to us, we will send you
a welcoming email and you will select your username and password
at that time.
Emails to Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss, Inc.
This Privacy Policy does not protect you when you send business
information, ideas, concepts or inventions to Ram Nutrition
and Weight Loss, Inc. by email to the contacts listed on the "Contact
Us" link on our Website. If you want to keep business
information, ideas, concepts or inventions private or proprietary,
do not send them in an email to Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss,
Inc.
Non-personally Identifiable Information
You may use our Website without registering or submitting any
Personal Information. In that case, the only information we
will collect from you is general, aggregated, demographic,
or other non-personal information.
We use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies and
log files to track non-personal information about visitors to
our Website in the aggregate. We may also share non-personal
information with third parties such as advertisers and partners.
This non-personal, aggregate data is used to analyze trends,
to track user movement around the Website, and to gather demographic
information about how members, subscribers, and/or visitors use
our Website.
In some cases, when you click on a link or an advertisement
in an email or newsletter you may receive from us, your browser
may be momentarily directed to the site of a third party which,
acting on Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss, Inc's behalf, notes
or "counts" your response to the email or newsletter
before re-directing your browser to its proper destination. This
re-direction process will not be apparent to you. Your Personal
Information will not be recorded by this third party.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on a user's computer for
record-keeping purposes. We use cookies on our Website to determine
the number of unique visitors, to personalize your online experience,
to identify returning visitors, and to provide you with advertisements
and messages of interest to you. Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss,
Inc. does not store any Personal Information in any cookies
on your computer. However, we do link the non-personal information
we store in cookies to your Personal Information.
Also, companies offering products or services through our Website
or through our email newsletter may use their own cookies. This
Privacy Policy covers the use and placement of cookies by Ram
Nutrition and Weight Loss, Inc. only, and does not cover the
use or placement of cookies by any third party. Your browser
may be set to reject all cookies. Most browsers offer instructions
on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the "Help" section
of the toolbar.
Web Beacons
Our third party advertising partners employ a software technology
called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs) that help us
to validate sales on our Website. Clear gifs are tiny graphics
with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and
are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast
to cookies which are stored on a user's computer hard drive,
clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about
the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not
tie the non-personal information gathered by clear gifs to
your Personal Information, and we do not use web beacons to
collect any Personal Information from or about you or to track
your activities across websites generally.
Log Files
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically
and store it in log files. This information includes internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referring/exit pages,
operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We
use this information (which does not identify individual users)
to analyze trends, to administer the Website, and to identify
and solve hardware and software problems as they arise. We
may link this automatically-collected data to your Personal
Information for the purpose of determining your interests and
to offer you goods or services that we believe may be of interest
to you.
Tracking and Merging Information from Other Sources
If you register on our Website and provide us with Personal Information,
we may link non-personal, aggregated tracking data with your
online Personal Information through use of cookies, log files
and other non-personal information collection.
We may also supplement the Personal Information we collect from
you with non-personal or personal information from other, third
party sources. We will merge this third party information with
Personal Information you have provided to us. The composite information
about you will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We perform this tracking and merging to assist us in evaluating
and improving our Website, products, and services; to determine
your preferences so that we can tailor our Website, products,
and services to your needs; and to provide you with targeted
marketing offers that we think may be of interest to you. If
you would like more information about this practice and your
choices, click here.
Information Collected by Third Parties Not Acting on Behalf
of Ram Nutrition and Weight Loss, Inc.
Sponsors, partners or advertisers on the Website or in emails,
special promotions, or newsletters we send you may also use their
own cookies or web beacons when you click on their advertisement
or link to their website or service, or even if the advertisement
simply appears on a page or in an email that you are viewing.
We do not control third parties' use of cookies or web beacons,
or how they manage the non-personal information they gather through
them. Please review the privacy policy of other sites you visit
or link to from our site to understand how these other sites
use cookies and how they use the information they collect through
the use of cookies or web beacons on their own sites.
Children
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. This
Website is not designed for, nor is it intended to attract
children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal
Information directly from any person under the age of 13, and
if we do inadvertently collect information from a person under
the age of 13, we delete it as soon as we discover it. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, we encourage parents and caregivers to take
and active role in their children's online activities and monitor
their child's use of the internet.

if you grant us permission to do so.
We may provide third parties with non-personal information about
you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted, including
where such information is combined with similar information of
other users of our Website. For example, we provide our advertisers

about our Website users, including the number of unique users
who visit our Website, the demographic breakdown of the registered
users of our Website, or the activities that visitors to our
Website engage in while on our Website.

(collectively, "Outside Contractors") to provide
specific services and products related to our Website, including
but not limited to maintaining an email suppression list as
required by state and/or federal law; hosting and maintaining
our chat rooms; providing credit card processing and shipping
fulfillment; fraud screening; testing and implementation of
special services such as those for contacting members to offer
personal, one-on-one, nutritional and member support to help

sometimes have limited access to information collected on our
Website, including your Personal Information, in the course
of providing products or services to us. Access to your Personal
Information by these Outside Contractors is limited to the
information reasonably necessary in order for the Outside Contractors
to perform their limited function for us.
Disclosure to Linked Sites
In addition to the third party websites that you may access as

Other Disclosures
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the
