Disclosures

Choonadi, LLC, a for-profit Ohio Company, owns Vaxxter which operates under d.b.a. Vaxxter.com. Vaxxter.com and Courses4Mastery.com are both owned and operated by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny. This is why there is overlap within some of the content and marketing materials. 

Our business is based on our readers’ trust. We want to be transparent about what we do and how we earn money as a Company. We provide a daily newsletter focused on vaccines, the pharmaceutical industry, and natural health.  We earn money on this site through:

• Sales of Dr. Tenpenny’s books and products
• Commissions from affiliate programs and summits
• Advertising partnerships 

 Affiliate Disclosure

We participate in affiliate programs, including (but not limited to) Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn commissions by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites, and Clickbank. All products for which we receive commissions are ones we believe in, and in many cases, have tested ourselves. We also participate in affiliate programs sponsored by The Truth About Cancer (TTAC), The Truth About Pet Cancer (TTAPC), Vaccines Revealed, The Oil Club and various affiliate summits and seminars offered through HealthTalks Online (HOT). From time to time, additional affiliate programs become available that make sense and we feel the programs/product will be of interest and a benefit to our readers and followers, we will offer that program.

Advertising Disclosure

We only agree to a partnership if we believe in the product, the company involved and we have vetted the person(s) we are working with. We will do our best to always display disclaimers on sponsored content. We may also include, for certain products, an expanded explanation of the sponsored content. 

We may reject or remove sponsored content that contains false, deceptive, potentially misleading, or illegal content; or is inconsistent with or may tend to bring harm or damage Dr. Tenpenny’s and Vaxxter’s brand and/or reputation.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

• Users can visit our site anonymously
• Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page, or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
• Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy‘, and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur, we will notify the users via in site notification within 7 business days

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN-SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. We collect email addresses in compliance with CAN-SPAM. As such, if at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at info@vaxxter.com and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
