Our Privacy Policy  

In designing our web site, we began with this simple yet all-important principle: Customer Service is our number one priority. As such, all customer information we collect is used only to enhance and facilitate our services for you, our customer.  

Specific areas from which we collect data include:

  • Membership: We ask our customers to become a Solanova member prior to completing their first purchase with us. To ensure easy shopping and timely product delivery, we ask for shipping information including your e-mail address and phone number so that we may quickly and easily inform you about the status of your order. Additionally, we ask for limited demographic information including your birth date and gender, which enables us to continually update our site to better meet the needs of our members. Should you wish to change your membership information, simply click on “My Account” and make the necessary changes, call our Customer Service department at 1-800-200-0456, or fax us at 1-415-898-1666 (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Pacific time; closed Saturday & Sunday). Please also note that due to our quality control practices, we cannot delete member files.  If you wish, you can make your Solanova account inactive by contacting our customer service department to request that your account be deactivated.  
  • Purchases: When you order from Solanova, we ask for your name, address, and credit card information, which are all standard requirements for e-commerce-related purchases and deliveries.
  • Create An Account: Customers creating an account at Solanova are asked to provide their name, address, e-mail address, and phone number. We also request a birth year so that we can confirm whether customers are 18 years of age or older as described in our "Parental Consent" section below. Customers are also prompted to choose a password for privacy purposes.
  • My Solanova: This section is password-protected and is only available to visitors who have become members of our site. It offers convenient features to facilitate the customer’s shopping experience. See the "Membership" section above for more information about the data collected when a customer creates an account.  
    1. My Account allows visitors to edit and update the information they submitted when they first became a member of Solanova.
    2. My Shopping History provides a complete list of all previous and current orders placed by the customer. It also includes tracking numbers for packages, and offers customers the ability to quickly submit an order, place a reorder, or cancel an order.  This feature automatically maintains a list of all items purchased by the member since their first order, making it easier to locate and reorder their favorite products.  

Cookies

Our cookies, which constitute small pieces of information stored by the web browser on a computer's hard drive, help us track and facilitate customers' visits to Solanova. Cookies enable us to monitor repeat customer visits and indicate how visitors found the Solanova site. This information helps us gauge how well we’re serving customers and gives us direction on how we can improve our site and our service. Cookies also allow us to automatically link our customers to their personalized accounts, including shopping carts and Personal Shopping Accounts.

If you would rather we not have access to this information as it applies to you, please consult your browser’s guidelines for disabling your cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies. Note that a visitor who chooses to reject the cookie may still view our site's extensive content, but he or she will not be able to make a purchase or use the “My Account” feature reserved for members. Please be assured that our cookies link only to a member's identification number, which does not include any personally identifiable information.  

Parental Consent

Our privacy policy stipulates that we cannot accept members who are under the age of 18. Children under the age of 18 are welcome to browse our site, but should they wish to become members or make a purchase, we require that they do so through an account created by their parent. Should you have additional questions or concerns regarding this policy, please send us an email .

Log on Files

We automatically log IP addresses and session sources (i.e. if the visitor came to Solanova from an affiliate's site). We do not log the ISP or the browser type. The information is not logged to personally identifiable information, or to the member's identification number. Solanova uses these logs for sales and marketing tracking as well as for system performance monitoring. These logs are reviewed simply as a means to monitor the overall browsing and purchasing trends they reveal about our customers, not for the specific behaviors of individual users.  

Information Sharing

Solanova protects account information against unauthorized access or release. We will not give, sell, rent, or loan any identifiable personal information to any third party, unless the customer has authorized us to or we are legally required to do so. Additionally, we do not share information about the purchasing habits of individual customers. We may at times share aggregate—not individual—customer data with our Wellness Advisors and with selected manufacturers and advertising partners. In some cases, Solanova provides the e-mail addresses of our current customers to direct e-mail companies working on our behalf. In doing so, these companies can properly direct our promotional mailings to the correct customers (i.e. to prevent duplicate promotions). Promotional e-mails only go out to customers who have indicated that they wish to receive them; customers may choose at any time not to receive any further e-mail correspondence of this sort. 

Third-Party Intermediaries

To complete credit card transactions, Solanova provides the following member information via secure communications to CyberSource, our intermediary credit card processing company: name, billing address, credit card number, expiration date, and the transaction amount. Solanova also must provide shipping information to intermediary shipping companies, including but not limited to UPS, USPS, Airborne Express, and DHL.

Notification of Changes

In the event that Solanova should change its privacy practices or begin utilizing member information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will send e-mail messages to our members notifying them of the changes, explaining the reasons for the changes, and offering them the option to either accept the amended policy or request exemption from it.
