Higgs Computing and its globally affiliated companies are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that you share with us. Personal Information is information that enables us to identify you, such as your email address, name, title, and address. Higgs Computing uses your Personal Information in order to personalize your experience on our Web site and also to be able to selectively send you communications that may be of interest to you, either electronically or otherwise. Our privacy policy governs the following areas:
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, e.g. when you fill out a form on one of our websites or contact us (e.g. via telephone or email). The information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the websites and may include the following: names, phone numbers, mailing addresses, email addresses, job titles, contact preferences, billing addresses, areas of interest, and other similar information. We do not knowingly collect information from or market to children under 18 years of age. We may also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. The information we collect may include:
Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Website and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type and settings and information about your activity on the Website (e.g. pages visited and date/time stamps).
Device Data. We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Website. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, ISP/mobile carrier, and operating system.
Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. The information collected depends on the type and settings of the device. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling the Location setting on your device.
Information We Collect from Other Sources. Some of the information we collect is from unaffiliated sources, including in some cases information that is publicly available, provided by or purchased from marketing business partners, or present on social media platforms. For example, we may collect information you submit to a social network like Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. We may also collect or license information about you from other companies and organizations, such as information aggregators or event or promotion co-sponsors, including to supplement information that we receive from you.
2. Disclosure
Higgs Computing does not presently share information with other companies other than its own associates and does not sell its user information. However, we reserve the right to use any personal information we collect for such purposes as customer service, marketing, product and service development, dissemination of investor information, recruiting and facilitating subsequent use of this Web site. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. We may disclose your personal information to our service providers pursuant to a written contract between us and each service provider. Each service provider is a for-profit entity that processes the information on our behalf. Unless you opt out of receiving promotional materials, we may from time to time notify you of special promotions, new products or services, or other information that may interest you. We explicitly reserve the right to disclose any such personal information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with law, or protect the rights, property or safety of Higgs Computing, its employees, customers, or the public.
3. Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to Higgs Computing. The notice we intend to provide where Higgs Computing collects Personal Information on the Web should help you make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most Higgs Computing Web pages, but you may be unable to access certain options and services that involve our interaction with you. If you elect to provide Personal Information to Higgs Computing, you agree to provide true, complete, and accurate information, and you agree to notify us of changes.
4. Cookies and Other Tracking Technology
Some of our Web pages utilize “cookies”, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies. A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the sites use to track the pages you have visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of the Higgs Computing Web site use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our information to users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. Higgs Computing does not correlate this information with individual users, nor does it share this information or sell it to any third party.
You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie or choose to block cookies, but please note that if you erase or block cookies, you may need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site. Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser software and operating-system types, clickstream patterns, and dates and times when the site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.
5. How Long We Keep Information
We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law. We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, or 12 months from your last engagement, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
6. User Consent
By using this Website or our services, you consent to the terms of Higgs Computing’s Privacy Policy and to our processing of Personal Information for the purposes given above as well as those explained where Higgs Computing collects Personal Information on the web. Higgs Computing reserves the right to change the terms of its privacy policy at any time. If we change this policy, we will post the changes on this Web site.
