Gathering of Information
Voluntary Submission:
WellGen does not collect personally identifying information (such as name and email address) about any individual user except when knowingly provided by such individual. For example, WellGen may ask you for information (such as your e-mail address, zip code and the country in which you are viewing the Site) when you register to become a member of the Site, to post a testimonial or to comment on blog entries. You may also provide information to WellGen in other contexts, including, for example, to enter into a sweepstakes or promotion on the Site. You always have the option not to provide the information we request. If you choose not to provide the requested information, you can still visit the Site, but you may be unable to receive certain updates and services. You agree to provide only true, accurate, current and complete information to WellGen.
Cookies
A cookie is a data file that certain websites write to your computer’s hard drive when you visit such websites. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user identification code, that the website uses to track the pages you have visited. WellGen uses cookies to track user traffic patterns throughout the Site. We use this data on an anonymous basis. We do not correlate this information with personal data of any user.

This information is collected in a database and used–in an aggregated, anonymous manner–in our internal analysis of traffic patterns within the Site. This information is automatically logged by most websites. WellGen may also use a third party to passively collect non-personally identifying information, including through the use of web beacons.
