about privacy on the Internet. In order to better protect your privacy, WholisticMatters has
provided this notice explaining its online information practices and the choices you can make about
the way your information is collected and used. This Privacy Policy applies solely to the
information that WholisticMatters collects on the website, WholisticMatters.com (“Site”) and does
not apply to information that WholisticMatters may collect by any alternative means or media.
In the course of using the Site, WholisticMatters may ask users for their name, email address, postal
address, mobile or other telephone number, fax number, as well as other relevant information. Health
care providers will be asked to provide information specific to their clinics, such as clinic name,
address, telephone number, and website URL.
WholisticMatters may also collect account registration information, including usernames, passwords,
and answers to security questions. In many cases, users choose the amount of information they
supply. There may be instances in which some of the information that we ask users to provide is
identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. In such cases, if users do not provide mandatory
personal information with respect to a particular activity, users will not be able to engage in that
activity. WholisticMatters also may collect certain information that is not personally identifiable
when you visit many of our Web pages, such as the type of browser you are using, the type of
operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, aggregate data
about the number of visits to the Site, and/or aggregate data about the pages visited. Information
gathered through the Site may be transferred, used, and stored in the United States and in foreign
jurisdictions in which we, our agents, customers, and other users of the Site are located, and by
accessing the Site, you consent to the transfer, use, and storage of your information in those
jurisdictions.
WholisticMatters uses the information that is not personally identifiable (“Aggregate Data”) to
improve the design and content of the Site and to enable WholisticMatters to personalize your online
experience. WholisticMatters may use the Aggregate Data to analyze Site usage as well as create
services and/or products to fit your needs. Also, WholisticMatters may share this Aggregate Data
with WholisticMatters’ related entities, advertisers, partners, and/or other third-party vendors.
WholisticMatters shall own such Aggregate Data and may maintain copies of such as part of its
records.
Except as otherwise indicated, WholisticMatters uses the personally identifiable information
(“Personal Information”) you provide about yourself: (a) to respond to any of your inquiries or
questions about our content or services; (b) for internal marketing purposes with Standard Process;
(c) to provide you with additional and updated information, materials, and other advertisements
regarding WholisticMatters content and/or services; (d) to offer you other materials and/or
information that WholisticMatters believes may be of interest to you; (e) to cooperate with
government officials or parties in litigation under process of law, to prevent a crime, or as
otherwise required by law; (f) to protect against fraud, identity theft, or a threat of safety or
destruction of property; (g) to protect against legal liability; (h) to create and manage user
accounts; (i) to communicate with the user regarding the user’s use of the Site; and/or (j) to
perform data analyses and/or research (including de-identification and aggregation of Personal
Information).
WholisticMatters’ agents, employees, and contractors who have access to Personal Information are
required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Furthermore, WholisticMatters encourages all its business partners to adopt and adhere to standards
of protection consistent with this Privacy Policy. WholisticMatters will not use the Personal
Information, except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, without your permission; provided, however,
WholisticMatters shall own all such Personal Information and may maintain copies of such as part of
its records. If you do not wish to receive marketing materials or advertisements regarding Standard
Process products, please contact WholisticMatters in the manner identified in the “Opt-Out” section
below. The Aggregate Data and Personal Information may be disclosed, transferred, assigned,
licensed, distributed, and/or sold as part of WholisticMatters or its assets. In addition, if
WholisticMatters becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, whether voluntary or
involuntary, WholisticMatters or its trustee in bankruptcy may disclose, sell, assign, license, or
otherwise transfer such information in a transaction approved by the appropriate court.
The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. WholisticMatters does not knowingly
collect personal information from users under 13 years of age. In the event that WholisticMatters
becomes aware that it has collected personal information from a user under 13 years of age, it will
take steps to delete such information from its database.
If you are a California resident and use our Site or app, you are entitled to request certain
information regarding our disclosure of certain “personal information” (as defined in California
Civil Code Section 1798.83) to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you are a
California resident and have provided us with personal information within the last year, you may
make such a request by emailing us at Contact@WholisticMatters.com and typing “California Privacy
Rights” in the subject line of the email.
Within 30 days of receiving such a request, we will provide a list of the categories of personal
information disclosed to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes during the
immediately preceding calendar year, along with the names and addresses of these third parties. A
request may be made no more than once per calendar year and we are not required to respond to
requests made by means other than through the email address above.

unsolicited marketing communications and advertisements. Your request not to receive marketing
materials or advertisements will not apply to information that you request to receive.
Standard Process has implemented security measures to help protect against the risk of loss, misuse,
and alteration of any information under WholisticMatters’ control. Nevertheless, such security
measures may not prevent all loss, misuse, or alteration of information on the Site, and Standard
Process is not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such security failures.
Although Standard Process takes reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of any visitor
information collected, we shall have no liability for disclosure of any visitor information obtained
due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties. Email is not a secure form
of communication. Please do not send us your Social Security number, credit card number, or other
personal information via email. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet or
over mobile networks is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal
information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to and from our Site or over
mobile networks; any transmission is at your own risk. You understand that data and communications,
including email and other electronic communications, may be accessed by unauthorized third parties
when communicated over the Internet. Furthermore, the Site contains links to other websites that do
not belong to Standard Process. Standard Process is not responsible for nor can it ensure the
privacy practices or content of such other sites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to those
other websites.

WholisticMatters’ servers, to administer the Site, and for security purposes. “Cookies” are pieces
