Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personally identifiable information of certain users of the Site when we have a reasonable and good-faith belief that the disclosure is necessary to enforce our Subscription Services Agreement for the Site, comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or other legal process, or to otherwise enforce or protect Hexure’s rights under applicable law, including, without limitation, Hexure’s intellectual property rights. In such a situation we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of this disclosure in advance to all affected users, to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances.

Enhancement of Personal Information.

We may enhance our user database information with third party data for various reasons. Certain summary demographics are also used in our research product offerings. Individual personally identifiable information is never used in our research product offerings and is never tied back to an individual user or resold for any purposes.

Service Announcements.

On occasion it is necessary to send out service related announcements. For instance, if our Site or any of the services offered through the Site are temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. These communications are not promotional in nature.

Cookies.

“Cookies” are commonly used pieces of information in the form of small files that are placed on an individual’s computer hard drive to enable the individual to more easily communicate and interact with the Site.

The advertisement serving company may place and collect cookies when it displays an advertisement on the Site. We do not have access to information that would confirm the use of cookies by the advertisement serving company. We may also use a third party provider to analyze data and patterns regarding usage of the Sites and such third party provider may user cookies or web beacons to collect such information.

Other Web Sites; Links.

The web sites of Hexure’s affiliates, promotional partners, advertisers, sponsors, and other third-party web sites may be accessible through this Site. These third party web sites have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. Hexure is not responsible for any actions or privacy policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing personally identifiable information through linked web sites.

Consent to the Use of Third Party Providers.

In addition to the specific third parties noted in this Policy, Hexure may also contract with other third parties to provide various services to Hexure relating to the Site on an outsourced basis rather than performing the services itself. For example, Hexure may contract with an email service provider to distribute email messages to members of the Site or with an Short Message Services (SMS) / Multimedia Message Service (MMS) provider to manage text messaging services. Likewise, Hexure may contract with a web hosting provider to host all or a portion of the Site for Hexure. By visiting our site, you consent to Hexure using third-party providers to deliver services. While we do not share your personal information with these vendors, both personal and non-personal information may be collected and processed by Hexure and these third-party providers strictly for the purpose of providing these services. Your privacy is our priority, and we take great care to protect your information throughout this process.

Notification of Changes.

If we decide to change the Policy, we will either notify users by way of an e-mail or post material changes on the Site so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and if we disclose it. Unless we receive your prior permission, we will use information in accordance with the Policy under which the information was last collected.

Security.

We will use reasonable security measures on the Site to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety of your personal information. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.

Transfer of Information.

If Hexure elects, in its reasonable discretion, to transfer ownership or control of the Sites to a third party, whether or not in the context of an acquisition of Hexure or a merger of Hexure with a third party, you consent to the transfer of your personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information by Hexure to that third party, provided that all use of your information by that third party remains subject to the terms of this Policy.

Contact Information.

All inquiries concerning this statement and the Site, in general, may be sent to Hexure, Attn: PRIVACY, 539 W. Commerce St #6200, Dallas, TX, 75208 or [email protected].
