Privacy Policy

Updated: November 20, 2024

ChromaDex, Inc. and its affiliates (“ChromaDex”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) takes the protection of personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, share and protect the personal data of individuals in connection with providing our services and business operations. This Policy applies to the personal data we collect online and offline in the course of our business operations, including on our websites: www.chromadex.com, www.truniagen.com, www.truniagen.co.uk, www.truniagen.ca, www.truniagen.cn, pro.truniagen.com, aboutnad.com, investors.chromadex.com, and standards.chromadex.com.

PERSONAL DATA WE OBTAIN

The personal data we may obtain includes:

• Contact information, such as your name, telephone number, and postal and email address;
• Professional information, such as your job title, company name, industry, and professional and employment background;
• Personal characteristics, such as your age and birthdate;
• Account information, such as login information, account preferences and other account details;
• Information about the products or services purchased, requested, obtained or considered (including order history, preferences or tendencies);
• Payment information, such as name, billing and delivery address, bank account information and payment card details;
• Social media information (including your social media handle);
• Device information, as described in the “Automated Data Collection” section below;
• Job application information, such as your resume and any additional application information provided to us (for example, employment history and education);
• Education-related information (including school information);
• Health information, such as weight, medical history and Adverse Event information; and
• Any other information you submit through our websites or in communications with us, such as through forms, surveys, registration pages, emails, calls, comments and other features on our websites.

If you are using our services to purchase a product on behalf of another, we may require you to provide certain personal data about that person, such as their medical history.  If this is the case, we ask that you inform this person that you have provided us their personal data and make them aware of this Policy.

We may collect this information when you use our websites (including to make purchases), apply for jobs with ChromaDex, attend one of our live events, visit our booth at trade shows or otherwise interact with us (for example, call or email us). In some cases, we also may obtain your personal data from other parties, such as through referrals, from your employer, job references or providers of recruiting services (in the case of job applicants), or from our affiliates, vendors and other third parties with whom we work. We also may obtain other personal data about you in ways that we describe at the time of collection or otherwise with your consent.

Where we need to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract with you, and you choose not to provide that information when requested, we may not be able to provide you with our services. In this case, we may need to cancel a service you obtain from us but we will notify you if this is the case. For example, if you purchase a product from us, we require certain personal data about you (and the intended recipient of the product, if different) in order to complete the sale. Without such personal data, we may not be able to provide our products to you or the intended recipient.

Automated Data Collection

When you use our websites or open our emails, we may obtain certain information by automated means, such as through cookies, web server logs, web beacons (including pixels and tags) and other technologies. A “cookie” is a small file stored on your device that contains information about your device. These technologies help us (1) remember your information so you will not have to re-enter it; (2) track, understand and analyze how you use and interact with our websites; (3) personalize your experience with our websites, including providing you advertising and content based on your interests and location; (4) measure the usability of our websites and the effectiveness of our communications; (5) authenticate your identity, protect against fraud and provide our products and services; and (6) otherwise manage and enhance our products and services, and help ensure they are working properly.

We may use these automated technologies through our websites to collect information about your device, browsing actions, usage patterns and location. Through these automated means, we obtain certain device and browser information, such as your device IP address, general location information, unique device identifiers, device type and model, device characteristics and settings, browser information (e.g., browser type, settings and characteristics), operating system information (e.g., type and version), time zone setting and location, language and country preferences, referring or exit URLs and other device and application details. We also may obtain information about your interactions with our websites, such as pages visited (including the webpages you visited before coming to our websites), links clicked, features used, dates and times of access, session information, and other information about your use of our websites.

If you would prefer not to accept cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to reject all cookies or some cookies. Note, if you reject certain cookies, you may not be able to access all of the features on our websites.
