Gay Man Thriving


Privacy Policy


Effective Date: February, 2019


The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection practices of Gay Man Thriving,
which operates under Sartory Wellness, LLC (“we” or “us”). Specifically, it outlines the types of
information that we gather about you while you are using the www.gaymanthriving.com website (the
“Site”), and the ways in which we use this information. This Privacy Policy, including our children’s
privacy statement, does not apply to any information you may provide to us or that we may collect
offline and/or through other means (for example, at a live event, via telephone, or through the mail).
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of
our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is an
evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which
case we’ll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of
the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the Site after we post any such
changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.


How We Collect and Use Information


We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online while
using the Site (e.g., while on the Site or in responding via email to a feature provided on the Site).
The Site only contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the event that they
have signed up to receive our messaging, attended one of our events, or have purchased one of our
products. The Site collects personally identifying information from our users during online registration
and online purchasing. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration
or opt-in purposes and name, postal address, and credit card information when registering for our
events or purchasing our products. All of this information is provided to us by you.


We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through
the Site. For example, we may collect information about your computer’s connection to the Internet,
which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to
measure traffic on the Site. We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a
“cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser
places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the
Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit us, and track user
trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain
areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before. The Site also may use
web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to
count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages.


We use the information we collect from you while you are using the Site in a variety of ways,
including using the information to customize features; advertising that appear on the Site; and,
making other offers available to you via email, direct mail or otherwise. We also may provide your
information to third parties, such as service providers, contractors and third-party publishers and
advertisers for a variety of purposes. Unless you inform us in accordance with the process described
below, we reserve the right to use, and to disclose to third parties, all of the information collected
from and about you while you are using the Site in any way and for any purpose, such as to enable
us or a third party to provide you with information about products and services. If you do not wish
your information to be used for these purposes, you must send a letter to the Online Privacy
Coordinator whose address is listed at the end of this Privacy Policy requesting to be taken off any
lists of information that may be used for these purposes or that may be given or sold to third-parties.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your personal information available for
viewing by third parties online – for example on message boards, web logs, through email, or in chat
areas – that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides us. We cannot be
responsible for any unauthorized third-party use of such information.


Some of our third-party advertisers and ad servers that place and present advertising on the Site
also may collect information from you via cookies, web beacons or similar technologies. These
third-party advertisers and ad servers may use the information they collect to help present their
advertisements, to help measure and research the advertisements’ effectiveness, or for other
purposes. The use and collection of your information by these third-party advertisers and ad servers
is governed by the relevant third-party’s privacy policy and is not covered by our Privacy Policy.
Indeed, the privacy policies of these third-party advertisers and ad servers may be different from
ours. If you have any concerns about a third party’s use of cookies or web beacons or use of your
information, you should visit that party’s website and review its privacy policy.


The Site also includes links to other websites and provides access to products and services offered
by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. When you access another website or
purchase third-party products or services through the Site, use of any information you provide is
governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting or the provider of such
products or services.


We may also make some content, products and services available through our Site or by emailing
messages to you through cooperative relationships with third-party providers, where the brands of
our provider partner appear on the Site in connection with such content, products and/or services.
We may share with our provider partner any information you provide, or that is collected, in the
course of visiting any pages that are made available in cooperation with our provider partner. In
some cases, the provider partner may collect information from you directly, in which cases the
privacy policy of our provider partner may apply to the provider partner’s use of your information. The
privacy policy of our provider partners may differ from ours. If you have any questions regarding the
privacy policy of one of our provider partners, you should contact the provider partner directly for
more information.


Be aware that we may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is
appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Site or the
public.


Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event
that we sell some or all of our assets, or one or more of our websites is acquired by another
company, information about our users may be among the transferred assets.
