Official Privacy Policy & Consumer Data Protection Notice (islimtide.com)

011. Scope of Data Collection & Categories of Information

We adhere to a strict data-minimization principle across islimtide.com. Information is collected in two distinct operational contexts: (A) anonymous or pseudonymous browsing of our public scientific monographs and label pages, and (B) transactional order fulfillment or customer support interactions when you initiate a purchase or contact our support desks ^[1,2].

022. Payment Card Security & 256-Bit TLS Encryption

islimtide.com never stores raw credit card numbers, CVV security codes, or bank account credentials on its web servers. When you select a Slimtide package and proceed through /authorized-dispatch/ to checkout, your payment session is handled directly by BuyGoods (account_id=12501) over 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption in compliance with PCI-DSS Level 1 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements ^[1,2]. Billing statements display the descriptor BuyGoods or BUYGOODS*.

033. Cookies, Local Storage & Attribution Parameters

Our website uses minimal functional browser storage to ensure a responsive, accessible user experience without intrusive behavioral profiling:

1. Essential UI Preferences: If you dismiss the mobile sticky order bar (#islt-dock), a lightweight session state is held in browser memory so the bar does not re-open while you read that page.
2. Authorized Checkout Routing (sessid / pack): When you click an order button on islimtide.com, URL query parameters (pack=2, pack=3, or pack=6) are passed through /authorized-dispatch/ to the BuyGoods checkout cart so your chosen bottle quantity and free bonus eligibility are pre-loaded accurately ^[3].
3. Do Not Track (DNT) & Global Privacy Control (GPC): We honor browser-level Global Privacy Control signals and never sell or rent personal customer lists to third-party data brokers or unaffiliated telemarketers.

044. How We Share Information With Operational Service Providers

Your personal order and support information is shared strictly on a need-to-know basis with the contracted entities required to deliver and support your Slimtide order:

• Payment & Order Settlement: BuyGoods (+1 866-838-5063) for payment authorization, digital bonus provisioning, and refund credit emission ^[2].
• Warehouse Fulfillment & Return Receiving: Instituto Experience fulfillment centers (Lakeland, FL 33804 and return depot 11870 62nd St N, Largo, FL 33773) and domestic postal/courier carriers (USPS and UPS) to print shipping labels and verify returned parcels ^[7,5,4].
• Regulatory & Adverse Event Compliance: If a serious adverse event is reported, anonymized or legally required lot and event details may be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA MedWatch) as mandated by the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act ^[8].

055. Your U.S. State Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA) & GDPR Notice

066. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance) & Policy Contact

Slimtide is formulated and sold exclusively for adults aged 18 years and older ^[7,1]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18.
