If you provide information to any of the above websites, this information may be combined or shared between current or future James Ray International websites, entities and subsidiaries.
Although our businesses, stores and websites have unique services and offerings, they share a similar privacy philosophy. We follow these privacy principles in our conduct in the collection, use, release and security of customer information both online and offline:
James Ray International may modify its privacy policy as needed consistent with these principles.
James Ray International
The following Privacy Policy describes the information and privacy practices for www.jamesray.com, www.jamesraycorporateprograms.com, www.harmonicwealthweekend.com, www.harmonicwealth.com, www.treeoflifejourneys.com, www.worldwealthsociety.com, www.thepowertowin.com, www.ibis.org. You may read the privacy policies of each James Ray International subsidiary by visiting each entity's website or by emailing webservices@jamesray.com.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to other websites that may be accessible through the Websites. Our Websites contain links to other websites operated by third parties, including but not limited to third party sites that may display the James Ray International trademarks. When you click on such links, and are then transported to third party websites, you are no longer subject to this Privacy Policy, but are instead subject to policies that apply to such third party website(s). Please review them carefully.
Please keep in mind that these Websites run on U.S.-based servers. Privacy laws, and those relating to personal information, vary widely from country to country. We make sure that we comply with U.S. law, but cannot ensure compliance with other laws. Keep this in mind when determining whether or not to submit personal information to us.
To assist you with reading through our Privacy Policy, we have provided answers to questions that you may find most important:
What information we collect. We collect personal information from Website users ("you") who choose to submit the following requested information to us: your contact information (which may include name, email address, address, and telephone number), billing/shipping information (credit card number, shipping and billing address), and/or your personal preferences (product wish-lists, hobbies, likes and dislikes relating to the products we may sell) (collectively, "personal information"). When submitting personal information on an online form, we will identify which fields are required in order to fulfill your request. Additionally, our web server automatically collects click-stream information such as your computer's IP address, the address (or "URL") of the website that you came from before visiting our Websites, which pages you visit on our Websites, which browser you used to view our Websites and any search terms you have entered on our Websites.
When we collect information. While shopping or taking advantage of services available on the Websites, we may ask that you provide certain information about yourself. For example, we request personal information when you set up an account online (for example, to participate in Lounge forums or to post comments to the Blog), purchase products or services, join a frequent buyer program, participate in a sweepstakes, promotion or survey, contact us with a question or concern, access a free resource, or participate in other activities. In addition, when using our Websites, our servers may collect click-stream information as described above. We may also obtain information or lists from other companies.
How the information is used. We use the information you provide in order to 1) fulfill requests for products, services or information, 2) administer shopping or reward club accounts, 3) provide customer services, 4) administer contests or promotions, 5) offer new products and services, 6) measure and improve the effectiveness of our Websites and/or our marketing efforts, 7) tailor our online offerings to your preferences, and 8) carry out other business purposes.
Contests/Promotions. In the event that you participate in a survey, promotion, contest or sweepstakes ("Promotion") on the Websites sponsored by us and/or a third party, we reserve the right to share the information you provide (including personal information) in connection with such Promotion with the third party or parties that are involved with such Promotion. The information disclosed to such third party will then be subject to such third party's privacy policy. This Privacy Policy may be modified by privacy information contained in the terms and conditions applicable to the Promotion, for example, it is likely that you will be required to agree, in order to participate in the Promotion, that certain personal information about the Promotion winner will be disclosed to the public.
Cookies -- A "cookie" is a small data file that a website may send to your browser and which may then be stored on your computer. Our Websites use cookies to simulate a continuous connection -- cookies let us "remember" information about your preferences and passwords and allow you to move within our Websites without reintroducing yourself. We use cookie and web beacon technology to track which pages on our Websites our visitors view and which web browsers our visitors use. We also use "action tags" to assist in delivering the cookie. These action tags allow us to compile statistics and other data about our customers on an aggregate basis, by embedding a random identifying number on each user's browser. Then we track where that number shows up on our Websites. We share anonymous, aggregated data (information that does not identify you) with third parties. You can decline to permit cookies in your browser, but in that case we cannot promise you that all Website features will function properly as a result.
Third Party Service Providers -- Our Websites may use third party service providers to serve ads and emails on our behalf. These companies may use technologies similar to those outlined above to measure the effectiveness of ads and emails and use information about your visits to this and other websites so that we can provide ads about goods and services of interest to you. For this purpose, we may also provide these third party service providers anonymous information about your site navigation and purchases.
We may need to share personal information with third parties in limited circumstances. For example, we may release personal information to third parties to: perform services on our behalf, fulfill our customers' orders, send marketing communications, deliver packages, send postal mail and email, or process credit card payments. With respect to credit card information, we instantaneously transmit such information to the various credit card merchants (e.g., Visa, Mastercard) and do not store such information.
These Websites are owned by James Ray International. Any information you may provide to us either online or offline may be combined or shared between current or future James Ray International Websites, entities and subsidiaries.
From time to time, we may be required to provide personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves. We may also disclose personal information to a purchasing entity and its agents and attorneys in the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event.
If you wish to opt out of further communications from us, or you do not want us to provide your personal information to third parties, contact us and tell us that you would like to opt out of our provision of personal information to third parties. It is entirely your choice whether or not you provide personal information to us.
There are four ways by which you may opt out of receiving any further communications from us:
We will take reasonable steps to implement your request to opt out. However, please note that due to production and mailing timelines, it may take around six weeks to make the requested change and, until that change takes effect, you may still receive promotional information from us.

We want your information and preferences to be current, accurate and complete. We provide several different methods for you to update or change the information you give us.
To update or change your information:
Whether you are shopping online or on the phone with a James Ray International representative, we have commercially adequate security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, unauthorized access and alteration of the personal information under our control.
Because your credit card security is a high priority, we have taken numerous steps to ensure that your payment information is processed confidentially, accurately and securely, and we do not store your credit card information. The Websites use encryption technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your credit card information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address, and credit card number. While no server is completely secure, we believe our measures are appropriate to the confidentiality of the information involved.
Some older browser versions and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers. In that case, you will be unable to securely sign in to your account or purchase products. You may choose to sign in to your account or purchase products through our non-SSL enabled server, but your password will not be encrypted. This can be done by visiting the Logon page at http://jamesray.com/checkout.php. If you have already securely saved billing information to your account, you can still order securely using your saved information. However, if you submit new billing information through the non-SSL enabled server, it will not be encrypted.
When you create an online account for the Websites, you need to select a personal password that you will remember. It must be at least 6 characters in length. To maximize your level of protection, you should choose a combination of both letters and numbers. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords or any account information.
Although we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration or destruction of data, we take reasonable precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. James Ray International cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us by email and you do so at your own risk.
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. We will not knowingly or intentionally collect or use any personal information from children under the age of 13. No information should be submitted to us or the Website by visitors who are younger than 13 years old or by minors in general.
Please contact our Privacy Manager to report any known or suspected privacy or security breaches or to submit privacy-related questions or complaints. After receiving your inquiry, we will respond within five business days. You may contact us in the following ways:
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, and to collect information, and personal information, in addition to the information described in this policy. Therefore, please review this Privacy Policy from time to time as it may change. Your continued use of the Websites after such change constitutes your acceptance of any such change(s), and if you do not accept any changes, you may choose not to use the Website or to opt out by sending us an appropriate notice.
The Websites operate AS-IS, and we do not represent or warrant that the Websites will be available at all times, or that your use of the Websites will be uninterrupted or error-free. We are not responsible for your ability to access the Websites, or for matters beyond our control. This Privacy Policy is governed by California law, excluding its provisions on choice of law. The Websites are intended for the use of US entities and individuals and run on US-based servers, and we make no attempt to comply with the privacy (or security) policies of any country other than the United States. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, but cannot assure that it will not be inadvertently disclosed.
