HG may transmit user information to third-party vendors that provide products or services enabling HG to administer its website, its business and operations or related services.

If you are purchasing a service, we will request financial information. Any financial information we collect is used only to bill you for the services you purchased. If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. We also collect third party personal information such as name, email, title, and address. This data will only be used for the purpose it was intended for. We use the data we process to perform the transactions you ask us to do. You may also be asked to disclose personal information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.

We will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
  • To fulfill your service requests for services,
  • To protect ourselves from liability,
  • To respond to legal process or comply with law, court order or legal process served on our Site or
  • In connection with a potential merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the company.

We use an email service provider and credit card authorization company to perform services for us. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personal information for any other purposes.

We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.

HG will make commercially reasonable efforts to disclose when we are transmitting your information to a vendor and provide links to the vendor’s policies concerning the use of your information. 

HG may disclose a user’s contact if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with an order of a court or government authority, or a subpoena. HG may also disclose a user’s contact in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to protect HG or the website, or enforce the applicable Terms of Use agreements, in conjunction with an investigation or legal, equitable or administrative action or proceeding..

HG may transfer part or all of your information in the case of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other sale of all or a portion of HG’s assets or stock.

CAN-SPAM Act The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions
  • Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

  • Users can visit our site anonymously.
  • ​Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or at a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
  • Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the page specified above.
