For example, we collect the information you provide when you create an account, make a purchase, communicate with us, schedule an appointment, sign up for an event, or otherwise interact with this Site. Some of the information you manually provide may be personal information, such as your name and contact information.

The information we receive may depend on your browser or device settings. Traffic Data is stored in temporary log files that reside on our web servers.
Traffic Data is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable. Generally, we use Traffic Data in the aggregate to help us improve this Site and make it more compatible with the technology used by our visitors. However, we may combine Traffic Data with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you. We may also review our log files for security purposes—for example, to detect intrusions into our network—and we might share our log files with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify you.
Information collected by cookies and other technologies
We use “cookies” and other technologies to collect information and support certain features of this Site. For example, we may use these technologies to:
● collect information about the ways visitors use this Site—which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page
● support the features and functionality of this Site—for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits
● personalize your experience when you use this Site
● improve our marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising
The information we collect using cookies and similar technologies is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable, but we may link it to personal information that you provide. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit this Site, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of this Site if your browser rejects our cookies.
Information about third-party cookies
In addition to the cookies HFA Holdings may deliver to your computer or mobile device through this Site, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons. For example, we may use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with our Sites. See information from Google Analytics about safeguarding your data.
Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer or mobile device for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors over time and across non-affiliated websites and/or delivering targeted advertisements either on this Site or on other websites.
You have choices about the collection of information by third parties on our Sites. For example, if you don’t want information about your visit to this Site sent to Google Analytics, you may download an Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to HFA Holdings.
How we use your information
We generally reserve the right to disclose information you submit to us through this Site as set forth below.
With third–party vendors
HFA Holdings shares information collected through this Site with third-party vendors who act for us or on our behalf. For example, we may use third-party vendors to design and operate this Site; to conduct surveys; and to help us with our promotional efforts. These third-party vendors may need information about you to perform their functions, but they are contractually obligated to use your information only to perform contracted-for services.
With other users of this site
You may be able to submit User-Generated Content on or through this Site. In this Policy, “User-Generated Content” or “UGC” refers to content that you post using the social networking tools we make available to you and that does not constitute Feedback. Any personal information contained in UGC can be read, collected, or used by others. In addition, we may use UGC you submit for advertising campaigns and other promotions. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the content for such purposes. Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to UGC you submit on or through this Site.
In aggregate or de-identified form
We use information collected through this Site to create a compiled, aggregate view of usage patterns. We may share aggregate information with third parties so we and they can better understand our user base. We may also share with third parties information about how particular individuals use this Site, but only on a de-identified basis (“Individualized Data”). Individualized Data is not personally identifiable, but it does reflect the usage patterns of a particular Site user, as opposed to Site users collectively. We may provide basic demographic information (gender and age) in conjunction with providing Individualized Data. Third parties may use this information for analytical purposes and to market their own products and services, and for such other purposes as we may authorize. We will take reasonable efforts to ensure that third parties cannot and do not re-identify Individualized Data, including by contractually prohibiting them from doing so.
As part of a business transfer
Your information may be transferred to successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of this Site to another organization, if we merge with or are acquired by another organization, or if we liquidate our assets (such as our user database) and sell them individually. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization’s use of your information will still be subject to this Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.
To comply with laws and protect our rights and the rights of others
We may disclose your information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order or a subpoena. We may also disclose your information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of this Site.

We also reserve the right to disclose your information as described in any click–through agreement to which you have agreed.
How we protect your information
HFA Holdings takes reasonable precautions to provide a level of security appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we collect.
