Visiting the NetPlenish Site
We are committed to delivering web-based technology and services that provides a convenient way to replenish consumable products while saving money and time. In addition, we are equally committed to protecting your privacy when you visit our Site and use our services.
You can visit many portions of the NetPlenish Site and use some features anonymously. In other instances, we collect certain information about you as set forth below.
This Privacy Policy is provided to inform you of the kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit the NetPlenish Site and use the services provided through the Site (“Offered Services“), how we may use that information, who we share it with, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information.
Notification of Changes to our Privacy Policy
We may modify or amend our Privacy Policy from time to time. All changes will be effective immediately upon their posting to the NetPlenish Site. Significant or material changes will be posted conspicuously on the Site for a period of time. If you are a Member, as discussed below, we will provide notice of material changes by either sending you an email or by notifying you when you log in to your NetPlenish account. Information collected before changes are made will be treated in accordance with the previous Privacy Policy. Each version of our Privacy Policy will be prominently marked with an effective date.

Visiting Other Websites
The NetPlenish Site and email communications from us as part of the Offered Services often contain links to other websites that are not operated by NetPlenish (“Third Party Sites“), such as the websites of merchants, advertisers, information providers, and social networking channels. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Third Party Sites. We advise you to read the privacy statements of any Third Party Site to understand their privacy practices before using the Third Party Site or disclosing any personal information on them.
Collection and Use of Anonymous Information
When you visit the NetPlenish Site, we automatically record anonymous information (i.e., information that does not personally identify you) about your visit. This information may include your IP address, operating system and browser version. We use this information to generate usage statistics and to ensure that the NetPlenish Site and Offered Services are accessible to the widest possible audience.
We may also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information (“Aggregate Information“) from Site users. This Aggregate Information is used to help us diagnose technical problems, administer the NetPlenish Site and Offered Services and better evaluate the products and services that are most appealing to different segments of our Members.
While we may also collect information that could be used to personally identify you (see next section) and while we include certain anonymous information in the account of a Member (see next section), we do not otherwise link the anonymous information discussed in this section to any personally identifiable information that we may collect.
Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
In order to use the Offered Services, you will be asked to become a Member by completing a registration form and creating an account (a “Member“). If you become a Member, you will be asked to provide a user identifier, such as your email address, (“User ID“) to access your NetPlenish account. Basic contact information is required in order to open a NetPlenish account. The minimum level of information necessary to create an account is your name, full address, email address, family size and any children’s ages. In addition, we also give you the opportunity to provide other information which will allow us to better personalize the Site and our Offered Services to you. This other information may include your birth date, gender and other demographic information, and your hobbies and interests.
When you become a Member, you are automatically signed up to receive communications, such as alerts, newsletters, subscriptions, offers, surveys and/or coupons from us. In the event you cancel your membership, we will no longer send you such communications.
We may also use your personal information to auto-fill registration forms in connection with offers from our advertisers, merchants, and marketing partners (collectively, our “Trusted Partners“). You have the chance to review this information before submitting any auto-filled registration form.
In addition to the information collected during the registration process, as discussed above, we may collect personal information from users during their use of the Site or the Offered Services. For example, one way we collect your information in surveys. In addition, as you use the Offered Services, we may also track the consumable items that you specify and/or show interest in, your purchasing habits with regard to those items, and collect your bank account information to permit us to facilitate your use of our Offered Services.
We will not ask for your credit card information during account registration. Instead, we collect your credit card information when you make a one-time purchase or set up an item for automatic replenishment. You will have the option of allowing us to retain portions of your credit card information for future automatic replenishment transactions that we make on your behalf. For security and validation purposes, we do not retain the Card Verification Value (CVV) for your credit card. To indicate your approval for each automatic replenishment transaction, you will be required to provide your credit card CVV in order to complete the transaction. You can add, edit or delete the credit card information we retain on My Dashboard.
We may use the information we collect about you to provide you with special offers and advertisements that are selected to match your interests and to enhance our Site and Offered Services to make your experience more enjoyable. We may determine your interests with (i) surveys and registration questions that you choose to participate in or respond to, (ii) the products you view, track, and purchase, and (iii) information about where you surf and how you search on the web. Special offers and advertisements may be displayed to you using popup windows, in search functionality, on browser pages, web pages, and/or sent to you via electronic mail or postal mail, depending on which Offered Services you request and depending on whether the software applications that you use and your account preferences allow for such communications. We are continuously working on improved forms of delivery which are also covered by this Privacy Policy including, but not limited to, mobile phone alerts, SMS, RSS Feeds and more.
We occasionally use third parties to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of any order or mailings, providing customer support, processing payment transactions, performing statistical analysis of our website and services, data verification, hosting certain websites and databases, and to provide analytics tools to assist us in testing and monitoring our user environment. We will only permit these third parties to access, use and maintain the information that they need in order to deliver us the services and, in some cases, audit their right to receive payment from us. They are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
