Scope
This Statement covers only data collected through the Services and not any other data collection or processing, including, without limitation, data collection practices of webpages to which the Services link, or data that we or our affiliates collect offline or through webpages that do not display a direct link to this Statement.
By accessing the Services, you acknowledge notice of this Statement and agree with and acknowledge the terms, conditions, and responsibilities as set out below.
We may make access available to third party sites, such as social media sites, via the Services. When accessing these third party sites, the privacy policy of the third-party applies, and this Statement does not apply.
Individuals in the European Economic Area
The Services are intended for use within the United States. We do not specifically target our Services to individuals located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Nevertheless, we recognize that our customers may use our Services to process information about individuals located in the EEA. We are committed to helping our customers comply with the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with any EEA individuals’ personal data received through our Services.
Types of Data and Collection Methods
We receive data that you actively submit through the Services (“Data”) as described below.
When you request information or otherwise actively send us Data through the hc1 Insights public Web site (“actively submitted data”), we collect Data such as name, e-mail address(es), telephone number(s), and company name. You can opt-out of providing information by not entering it when asked and, if such information is required in order to allow us to respond to your inquiry, you will receive a notification advising you of this. When you submit Data via the Services, you will know what Data we collect through the Services, because you actively submit it.
Additionally, when you visit the hc1 Insights' public Web site(s), we also passively track information on your computer and Internet connection, such as the IP address of your computer and/or Internet service provider, the date and time you access the Web site(s), the Internet address of Web sites from which you link to our Services, the computer technology you are using and your movements and preferences on our Web site(s).
Unless you also actively submit personal information such as your name or address, passively tracked data does not typically allow us to identify you personally (even though it can theoretically be done, we do not have the means or interest to find out who you are, unless you identify yourself voluntarily through an active submission of data). To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to combine passively tracked Data with personal Data that you actively submit.
Collection Purposes and Use of Data
We collect Data that is passively tracked via our Services primarily for purposes of administering, protecting, and improving our Services, to better understand the preferences of our Visitors, to identify server problems, to compile aggregated statistics about site usage, and to help personalize your experience on our Services. We do not deliver third party online advertisements on our sites but we may advertise our products and services on others’ Web sites.
hc1 Insights may also use Data you voluntarily provide to perform the services you requested. For example, if you fill out a “Contact Me” Web form, we will use the information provided to contact you about your interest in the Services.
We Never Sell Personal Information
We will never sell your personal information you provide to us to any third party.
Web Site Navigational Information
Cookies, Web Beacons, and IP Addresses
hc1 Insights uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons, to collect information as you navigate the Site (“Web Site Navigational Information”). We specifically use targeting or advertising cookies (described below) on the hc1 Insights' public Web site(s).
Cookies
hc1 Insights uses cookies to make interactions with the Services easy and meaningful. When you visit the Services, hc1 Insights' servers send a cookie to your computer. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognize your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to hc1 Insights, such as filling out a “Contact Me” Web form, you remain anonymous to us.
hc1 Insights uses cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or turn off your computer. Please note that if you disable your Web browser’s ability to accept cookies, you will still be able to navigate the Services.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies
From time-to-time, hc1 Insights engages third parties to track and analyze Visitors’ navigation of its public Web site usage and volume statistical information from individuals who visit the public Web site. For example, these cookies remember which browsers have visited the public Web site. The information provided to third parties does not include personal information, but this information may be re-associated with personal information after we receive it.
hc1 Insights may also contract with third-party advertising networks that collect IP addresses and other information from Web beacons (see below) on the public Web site, from emails, and on third-party Web sites. Ad networks follow your online activities over time by collecting Web Site Navigational Information through automated means, including through the use of cookies. They use this information to provide advertisements about products and services tailored to your interests. You may see these advertisements on other Web sites. This process also helps us manage and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
Third parties, with whom we partner to provide certain features on the public Web site or to display advertising based upon your Web browsing activity, may use Flash cookies to collect and store information. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount, type, and how data is stored.
Web Beacons
hc1 Insights uses Web beacons alone or in conjunction with cookies to compile information about Visitors’ usage of the public Web site and interaction with emails from hc1 Insights. Web beacons are clear electronic images that can recognize certain types of information on your computer, such as cookies, when you viewed a particular Web site tied to the Web beacon, and a description of a Web site tied to the Web beacon. For example, hc1 Insights may place Web beacons in marketing emails that notify us when you click on a link in the email that directs you to the public Web site. hc1 Insights uses Web beacons to operate and improve the public Web site and email communications.
IP Addresses
When you visit the public Web site, we collect your Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses to track and aggregate non-personal information. For example, hc1 Insights uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which Visitors navigate the public Web site.
Links to Other Web Sites
hc1 Insights occasionally provides links to other entities on the Services for your convenience in locating certain information, services, and products. Please be advised that when you link to these other sites, you are leaving the hc1 Insights' Service(s) and that these third party sites are maintained by organizations over which hc1 Insights has no control.
Accordingly, a link on the Services does not constitute an endorsement of the content, viewpoint, policies, products, or services provided or advertised on the third party site. Once you link to a site not maintained by hc1 Insights, you are subject to the terms and conditions of that site.
Social Media
If you post material to a blog or other social media feed located on or accessed through the Services, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit can be read, collected, or used by other users of these blogs, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these blogs.
Opt-Out
In connection with promotions or other projects, we may ask you specifically whether you have objections against a certain kind of data use or sharing. If you opt-out under such circumstances, we will respect your decision. To opt-out of receiving marketing communications from hc1 Insights via email please click on the “opt-out” link in the email communication. Please be advised that communications sent by hc1 Insights via other means are initiated via lists maintained by hc1 Insights from explicit opt-in scenarios such as website downloads or tradeshows. These lists provide for an opt-out option at the time you submit your information. Please note that our affiliates and other data recipients have their own data privacy policies, which may differ from ours and you would have to contact them separately with respect to opt-out requests.
