Privacy Policy
Through Defeating Diets, I am committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of all visitors to this website and anyone who chooses to become a client. In particular, I want you to know that Defeating Diets is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. I just don’t do that sort of thing. To be open and transparent about this, in this Privacy Policy, I’ve provided lots of detailed information on when and why your personal information is collected, how it is used, the limited conditions under which I may disclose it to others and how I keep it secure.
