HWS has created this privacy policy to demonstrate its commitment to our visitors' privacy. The following describes our information gathering and dissemination practices that apply to information collected on this website at www.hwsglobal.com, www.hwsglobal.net, hortonworldsolutions.com or other domains directed to www.hwsglobal.com (the "Site").
Personal Information
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, for example, a first and last name, an email address, a home, postal or other physical address, telephone number, etc. You may browse our website without sharing any personal information about yourself.
HWS collects personal information when you request information concerning HWS' products and services or HWS' company information, when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing lists, or when you submit your personal information to HWS for any other reason.
How We Use Personal Information
HWS uses the information you provide for internal purposes, such as to fulfill your requests for information about certain HWS products and services and to keep you up to date on the latest product or service announcements or other information about HWS. We may also use your information to send you direct marketing information or contact you for market research. You can opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by following the instructions listed under the section entitled "Opt-Out."
Your personal information is never shared outside HWS without your permission, except HWS may send your personal information to other companies or people under any of the following circumstances: (i) when we have your consent to share the information; (ii) when we need to share your information to provide the product or service you have requested; (iii) when we need to send the information to companies who work on behalf of HWS to provide a product or service to you (we will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose); (iv) or when we want to keep you up to date on the latest product or service announcements, or other information we think you would like to hear about either from us or from our business partners (unless you have opted out of these types of communications). We may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, to another entity in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange or other disposition (whether of assets, stock or otherwise) of all or a portion of our business, to protect and defend our rights, property, and this Site, to enforce our Terms of Use, or to act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety or the public.
