We recognize the importance of respecting the privacy of those who visit www.hipinnovationtechnology.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use your information. We suggest that you review this Privacy Policy periodically as we may update it from time to time. This Privacy Policy was last revised on January 23, 2012.

What Do We Collect?

Every time you visit the Site, our Web server automatically collects the following non-personally identifiable information: your Internet service provider’s address, the referring URL and information on the pages you access on our Site. We collect this information to help diagnose problems, administer our Web site and track usage statistics. All of this information is collected and used only in the aggregate; that is, it is entered into our database where we can use it to generate overall reports on our visitors, but not individual reports that identify you personally.

We may also collect personally identifiable information that you provide, such as information you provide when you register on the Site, for example, your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us. You may look at the Site without disclosing any personally identifiable information.

By using the Site, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

What Are “Cookies”?

Most Internet Sites collect data about visitors through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small software programs that help Sites recognize repeat visitors by assigning a random number to each desktop for tracking content preferences and traffic patterns. Cookies may be used to “connect” your computer to information stored in a separate location. The Site may use browser cookies to track user behavior. Through cookies we may also alert you to new issues that we think might be of interest to you when you return to the Site; record past activity at the Site in order to provide you better service when you return to the Site; or, customize Web page content based on your browser type or other information that you send us.

We do not use cookies to store any of your personal information on your computer. The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you are to receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

How Do We Use Your Information?

We use the information we collect to improve our communications, improve our content and offerings, analyze Site usage, troubleshoot problems, resolve disputes, and enforce our Terms of Use.

Additionally, the information we collect is used:

• to generally improve the content and layout of the Site

When you supply us with personal information in the course of creating an account, the information you provide may be added to our customer database. You may receive periodic news from us. If you do not want to receive such communications from us, then please delete your account by logging in and going to “Contact Us” and sending an email to GeneralInquiries@HIT-IRH.com to remove yourself from our email list.
