Your privacy is very important to us. Accordingly, we have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information.

The following outlines our privacy policy.
We will collect and use of personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling your UGM Registration and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law. We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes. We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned. Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date. We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. We will make readily available to customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.

Online Behavioral Advertising

HCSS may advertise products and services you need or want. We may also partner with advertising companies to serve you ads based on your web browsing activity, purchases and/or interests. Some techniques for delivering content based on your interests are referred to as online behavioral advertising ("OBA").

We use OBA, such as Google AdWords Remarketing and other retargeting vendors, to advertise HCSS in a way that’s relevant and personalized to you. You allow us to use any information you have provided to us to serve a relevant ad to you. For instance, we may display relevant ads tailored to you based on what parts of the HCSS website you have viewed by placing a cookie on your machine. Additionally, if you explicitly consent by submitting HCSS forms, we may use that information within an ad.

How to Opt Out of Google Remarketing and Other Retargeted Advertising

If you do not wish to participate in our Google AdWords Remarketing, you can opt out by visiting Google’s Ads Preferences Manager. You can also opt out of any third-party OBA vendor’s use of cookies by visiting www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
