If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments, and any other information or data you may choose to provide.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our website

  • Improve, personalize, and expand our website

  • Understand and analyze how you use our website

  • Develop new products, services, features, and functionality

  • Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the website, and for marketing and promotional purposes

  • Send you emails

  • Find and prevent fraud

  • Enhance user experience by tailoring interactions

  • Strengthen security measures to protect against unauthorized access

  • Conduct research and perform analytics to improve services

  • Log Files

HGM follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites, a common practice among hosting companies as a part of their analytics services. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This data is used for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information. Importantly, IP addresses and other such information are not linked to any personally identifiable information. 

As company practice, HGM does not store or archive user data logs, although Squarespace, which hosts our website, does have the capability to do so. While we have the ability to store such information, we do not as part of our policy. Security measures are in place to protect log file data from unauthorized access, and user consent for log file collection is implicit through the use of our website. Users may inquire about opt-out options if available.

Advertising Partners Privacy Policies

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on HGM. These technologies are sent directly to users’ browser automatically capturing your IP address in the process. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you encounter on websites that you visit.

Please note that HGM has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information on their practices and for instructions on how to opt-out of certain options, if available. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings to enhance your privacy and control over personal data.

Third Party Privacy Policies & Embedded Content

HGM’s Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Therefore, we advise that if you choose to click on any links on our site—whether they lead to embedded content or third-party sites—you will be directed to a third-party site. We strongly recommend reviewing the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers to gain a comprehensive understanding of their data practices and instructions for opting-out of certain options.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed guidance on managing cookies with specific browsers can be found on the browser’s respective websites.

Our site may feature embedded content such as videos, images, or articles, etc. which functions as if you have visited the source website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with such embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. 

It is important to note that  we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage our users to exercise caution when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information. By using our site and engaging with embedded content, you consent to the practices outlined herein.

Unless configured otherwise, your browser settings may not shield your online activities from usage analytics tools.  We are currently unable to omit you from usage analytics if your browser simply transmits a “do not track” message and does not otherwise screen you from tracking without any action on your part. While third-parties, other than our service providers, do not have our authorization to track your prior and subsequent website visits, we acknowledge that some third-party tracking may occur over time and across third-party websites without our knowledge, awareness or consent.

While we endeavor to safeguard your data, it must be understood that no security measure is infallible. We recommend that you periodically assess the privacy practices of third-party sites, as these may evolve. Should you have any inquiries or concerns regarding third-party content or tracking, please feel free to contact us at contact@huemangroupmedia.com.
