Like most website operators, NHPPA collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

From time to time, NHPPA may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Natural Health Product Protection Association also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Natural Health Product Protection Association does not use said information to identify its visitors and does not disclose said information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Other than to its contractors and service providers, as described above, NHPPA discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when NHPPA believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of NHPPA, third parties or the public at large.
