What information we gather
If you are browsing the What Diet site, reading our articles or looking through the items we promote and advertise without being a registered user, we gather no personal information about you. All we will gather is the standard HTTP information that will appear in our web logs, though we will use unique identifiers for the purpose of identifying an individual user.
Only when you register will we require you to give us personal details like email, password, name, title and address. Once you are a registered member, you have the option to submit further details if you wish.
If you are purchasing anything promoted on our site you will be directed to the site of the seller. We do not handle the financial transaction in any way.
