2. HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Harbour Hub gathers personal information from users of the Sites. When you browse our Sites, subscribe to our services, or contact us through various social or web forms, you are voluntarily sharing personal information with us. This personal information also includes various data that we collect automatically, such as the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, and the locations of the Sites the user views before arriving at, while navigating, and immediately after leaving the Sites. It may also include various technical aspects of the user’s computer or browser and users’ browsing habits that are collected through cookies. Harbour Hub may analyze various mentioned personal information gathered from or about users to help Harbour Hub better understand how the Sites are used and how to make them better. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Harbour Hub can better design the Sites to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time, Harbour Hub may also release the anonymized information gathered from users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Sites.
When we believe disclosure is appropriate, we may disclose your information to help investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud, or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of Harbour Hub, our users, our employees, or others; to comply with applicable law or cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies; in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us. We will notify you, if permitted, before undertaking such disclosures.
Harbour Hub reserves the right to transfer all information in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other sale of all or a portion of Harbour Hub’s assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred information will be subject to this Privacy Notice, or to a new privacy notice if you are given notice of that new privacy notice and are given an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it.
3. DO WE USE COOKIES?
A “Cookie” is a string of information that assigns you a unique identification that a website stores on a user’s computer and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. We use cookies on the Sites to keep track of services you have used, to record registration information regarding your login name and password, to record your user preferences, to keep you logged into the Sites, and to facilitate purchase procedures. Harbour Hub also uses Cookies to track the pages that users visit during each of the Sites’ sessions, both to help Harbour Hub improve users’ experiences and to help Harbour Hub understand how the Sites are being used. As with other personal information gathered from users of the Sites, Harbour Hub analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Cookies to help Harbour Hub, its partners, and others better understand how the Sites are being used. SITES’ USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE SITES, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE SITES MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF COOKIES. SITES’ USERS WHO REFUSE COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
4. DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
General Provisions
Harbour Hub prohibits contractors, affiliates, vendors, and suppliers from disclosing any personal information received from Harbour Hub, other than in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These third parties may include advertisers, providers of games, utilities, widgets, and a variety of other third-party applications accessible through the Sites. Harbour Hub neither owns nor controls the third-party websites and applications accessible through the Sites. Thus, this Privacy Notice does not apply to personal information provided to or gathered by the third parties that operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party application, whether by means of a link on the Sites, directly through the Sites, or otherwise, and before providing any personal information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for those Sites or applications, and should take those steps necessary to, in those users’ discretion, protect their privacy.
Analytics
We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past activity on the Sites, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. The personal information collected may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, and better understand online activity. If you do not want any personal information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/) and/or opt out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network by using Google’s Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).
Social Media
We may use hyperlinks on the Sites that will redirect you to a social network if you click on the respective link. However, when you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button or Twitter’s “tweet” button, that particular social network’s plugin will be activated, and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. If you do not use these buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective social network’s plugin providers. To illustrate this further, imagine the scenario where you click on Facebook’s “Like” button on the Sites. Facebook will receive your IP address, the browser version and screen resolution, and the operating system of the device you have used to access the Sites. Settings regarding privacy protection can be found on the websites of these social networks and are not within our control.
5. SECURITY
We take the security of your personal information seriously and use reasonable electronic, personnel, and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration, or misuse. However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your personal information. We are not responsible for third-party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures. We are dedicated to protecting all personal information on the Sites as necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information by keeping your password and computer/mobile device access confidential. If you have an account with Harbour Hub and believe someone has gained unauthorized access to it, please change your password as soon as possible. If you lose control of your account, you should notify us immediately.
6. PRIVACY RIGHTS – EU USERS
If you reside in the European Union (EU), United Kingdom (UK), Switzerland, Norway, Lichtenstein, or Iceland, you have certain data protection rights under your local laws.
These rights may include:
- The right to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information
- The right to request edits or erasure of your personal information
- The right to limit the processing of your personal information
