Last Updated: October 29, 2026
Foundational Micro Nutrients LLC (“Foundational Micro Nutrients,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide through www.foundationalmicronutrients.com (the “Website”).
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use and disclose it, how we protect it, and the choices and rights available to you when you visit our Website, contact us, inquire about our services, or interact with our wellness testing and nutritional supplement offerings.
By using our Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for a particular activity, we will obtain that consent separately.

3. Health-Related and Laboratory Information
Foundational Micro Nutrients offers information about nutritional wellness, micronutrient testing, and food-based supplements. In connection with certain services, you may choose to share information that reveals details about your health or nutritional status.
When applicable, we may use this information to coordinate requested services, communicate with you, facilitate laboratory testing, or support the nutritional and wellness services you request.
If a third-party laboratory or service provider performs testing or processes information, that provider may collect, use, store, or disclose information under its own privacy policy and applicable agreements.
Please note: This Website Privacy Policy does not itself establish that Foundational Micro Nutrients is a covered entity or business associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Whether HIPAA applies depends on the specific organization, services, and circumstances. Separate privacy notices or agreements may apply to particular healthcare services or records.
We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any laboratory, healthcare provider, or service provider involved in your care or testing.

Our Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, and similar technologies to support Website functionality and understand how visitors interact with our content.
These technologies may be used to:

Support Website security and performance.

Measure the effectiveness of Website content or marketing, where applicable.
Some cookies may be provided by third-party services integrated into the Website. The information collected depends on which tools are enabled.

5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances, subject to applicable law and any required consent:
Service Providers
We may share information with service providers that help us operate our Website or conduct our business. These may include Website hosting providers, form and email providers, scheduling services, information technology providers, analytics providers, payment processors, and customer support services.
These providers may access information as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf, subject to applicable contractual or legal restrictions.
Laboratories and Wellness Service Providers
If you request testing, nutritional services, or related support, we may share relevant information with laboratories or other providers involved in fulfilling your request, where appropriate and legally permitted.
Supplement and Product Providers
Our Website references third-party supplement companies and services. If you follow a link, submit information to a third-party provider, or make a purchase through an external platform, your information may be collected directly by that provider under its own policies.
We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties.
Legal and Safety Reasons
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, a valid legal request, or a court order; protect our rights or property; investigate suspected fraud or security issues; or protect the safety of our business, visitors, or others.
Business Transfers
Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to applicable privacy requirements.
With Your Consent
We may share information for additional purposes when you direct us to do so or provide consent where required.
6. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
Certain privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” more broadly to include disclosures of personal information for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising, even when no money changes hands. Whether our activities fall within these definitions depends on the technologies and services actually used on our Website.
We will honor applicable legal requirements concerning the sale or sharing of personal information and provide any required opt-out mechanisms. You may contact us using the information in the Contact Us section to ask about our privacy practices or submit a privacy request.
7. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Website may link to third-party websites, laboratories, supplement providers, online stores, scheduling platforms, or other services, including providers referenced on our Website.
When you visit a third-party website or use an external service, that provider's privacy policy and terms govern its handling of your information. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of independent third parties.
We recommend reviewing the applicable privacy policy before providing personal information to another organization.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, providing requested services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal or regulatory obligations.
The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and whether the information is needed for ongoing services.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will take appropriate steps to delete it, destroy it, or de-identify it, subject to applicable law and legitimate record keeping needs.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you provide information at your own risk.
If you believe your information has been submitted to us improperly or that a security issue has occurred, please contact us using the information below.

11. Additional Notice for California Residents

The applicability of particular California privacy obligations depends on factors such as our business activities and the legal thresholds and exemptions in effect. This section is not a representation that every CCPA requirement necessarily applies to our business.
