You may opt-out at any time in accordance with the “Terminating Membership” section below.
We may use your Aggregate Information to do such things as operate our Site, enhance our Site, and for market research purposes.

Therefore, we do not recommend that you disclose such password or account information to any third parties.

Clickstream
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data”, can be collected and stored by a web site’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the web site from which you linked to the Site. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of Aggregate Information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Site, how visitors navigate throughout the Site and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Site and our services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous and aggregate, and will not intentionally contain any Personal Information.
Security
Social Nature will not be liable for disclosures of your Personal Information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties. We have undertaken all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized Internet access to visitor data retained in our servers, however, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, Social Nature cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or any information provided online, and you do so at your own risk. You must accept all risks associated with any data transmission, including the risk that their personal information may be intercepted in transit. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Product Invitations and e-mail
Established members will occasionally receive e-mails containing information regarding new Product Invitations, Social Nature Offers, and directives from Social Nature if they have opted-in. “Opted-in” means the member has approved certain e-mails to be sent to them from Social Nature. Established members may opt-out of these emails by unsubscribing or emailing us at hello@socialnature.com to unsubscribe.
Social Nature Site and Service Announcements
Under certain circumstances Social Nature may need to contact specific or all members in order to make an important announcement about the Site or service changes. Members are not able to unsubscribe, or “opt-in/opt-out” of these announcements because they may contain very important information regarding their accounts. Before these measures are taken, however, Social Nature will post information regarding changes directly on the Site. Social Nature reserves the right to contact members to correct account errors or to supply important information Social Nature deems relevant.
