PRIVACY POLICY

Updated:  August 5, 2010

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

Personal Information. You may choose to provide personal information (such as your name, address, telephone number and email address) on this website. Here are some of the ways you may provide the information and the types of information you may submit. We also tell you how we may use the information.

* Contact Us.  If you email us through the “Contact Us” link on this site, we ask you for information such as your name and email address so we can respond to your questions and comments.  You may choose to provide additional information as well.

* Register, Place an Order, or Fill Out a Form.  You may register, place an order or fill out a form on our site. When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number or credit card information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously.  Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways: to personalize your experience, to improve our website, to improve customer service, to process transactions (your transaction processing information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested, or to comply with legal requirements as stated below), to send periodic emails (the email address you provide for order processing, may be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your order, in addition to receiving occasional company news, updates, related product or service information, etc.)  Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of this page.

* Questionnaires and Surveys.  We occasionally may ask visitors to our website to complete online surveys and opinion polls about their activities, attitudes and interests.  These surveys help us serve you better and improve the usefulness of our site.  In conducting these surveys we may ask you for your name and email address.  We do not keep any personal information about you in connection with your participation in a htgcorp.com survey unless you specifically agree to provide that information.

* Send Content to Other People.  You can send certain content to other people.  To do so, we ask you to provide your name and the email address of the person to whom you want the content sent. We use this information to send the content to the email address you have designated.

Non-Personal Information.  We collect certain aggregate and non-personal information when you visit this website.  Aggregate and non-personal information does not relate to a single identifiable visitor.  It tells us such things as how many users visited our site and the pages accessed.  By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our website to our visitors.  We collect this information either through “cookies” or with other technologies such as “web beacons,” as explained below.

* Cookies.  Like many companies, we may use browser cookies on this website. Browser cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain websites.  We use browser cookies to tell us, for example, whether you’ve visited us before or if you’re a new visitor and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Browser cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site.  The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new browser cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new browser cookie, and how to disable existing browser cookies.  Remember though, without browser cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features.  We may also use flash cookies on our website to enhance your online experience.  Flash cookies are similar to browser cookies, except that they can store data more complex than simple text.  Flash cookies, by themselves, cannot do anything to or with the data on your computer.  In addition, flash cookies cannot access or remember your email address or other personal information unless you provide the information on this site.  We use flash cookies to provide you with a better user experience.  You can manage and disable flash cookies by clicking here for Manage and Disable Flash Cookies.

* Web Beacons.  Certain pages on our site may contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs).  These web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party.  We may use log files to store the data that is collected through web beacons.  We may also use third party web beacons to help manage online advertising. These web beacons are provided by ad management partners, including such firms as Google Analytics and Omniture.  These files enable Google Analytics and Omniture to recognize a unique cookie on your web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to our website.  The cookie on your web browser may be placed by us, or by another advertiser who works with Google Analytics.  With both cookies and web beacon technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable.  It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address. For more information about Google Analytics, including information about how to opt out of these technologies, go to www.google-analytics.com.  For more information about Omniture, including how to opt out of these technologies, go to www.omniture.com.

* Other.  As is true of many other websites, we may gather some information automatically and store it in log files.  This information may include Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.  We may use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.  We may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.  In some of our email messages, we may use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Harbinger website.  When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website.  We may track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.  If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.  Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened.  We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.


INFORMATION WE SHARE

We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information about our website visitors, except as described in this Privacy Policy.  We may share information provided by our visitors to our website with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf or those who provide services such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products or services to you, managing and enhancing customer service, assessing your interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys.  These service providers are restricted by applicable laws from using or disclosing the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.  In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.  Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets, we reserve the right to transfer any and all personal information we collect. 


INFORMATION WE TRANSFER

We may transfer the personal information we collect on this site to other countries where we do business, but we will do so only for the purposes described above. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described here unless otherwise required by applicable laws.


LINKS TO OTHER SITES

We provide links to other websites for your convenience and information.  These sites may have their own privacy policies in place, which we recommend you review if you visit any linked websites. We are not responsible for the content of linked sites or any use of the sites.


CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

This website is not directed to children under the age of thirteen and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen.  If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a visitor under the age of thirteen on the site, we will take steps to delete the information from our records as soon as possible.


HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction of the personal information you provide on this website. We use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to help keep the personal information you provide on this site secure.  We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.


UPDATES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically and without prior notice to you to reflect changes in our online information practices.  We will post a prominent notice on this website to notify you of any significant changes to our Privacy Policy and indicate at the top of the policy when it was most recently updated.
