Privacy Policy

Plain English

At WeightLossBuddy.com we take your privacy very seriously. We never rent, sell or divulge any of your private information, including name, address, or email to anyone.

All communication between members is done either in the chats or through an internal (WLB site only) PM- Private Messenger. That is why we use usernames to identify members.

So when people look for a "buddy" on the website, they will not be able to find your personal information such as name, email, etc.

If someone wants to contact you, or if you check off that you want to be notified for a recipe, or message board topic, WLB will send you an email notifying you that you have a PM (private message) on the site. You can choose to turn off this notification at any time. You can choose to hide when you''re on line, and restrict who can see your blog or diet tracker.

This Privacy Policy demonstrates our dedication to protecting the privacy of those who visit our website and use our online features.
