Tracking User Behavior
HE may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit within HE, in order to determine what HE services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within HE to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Automatically Collected Information
Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by HE. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the HE website.
Use of Cookies
The HE website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize HE pages, or register with HE site or services, a cookie helps HE to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same HE website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the HE features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the HE services or websites you visit.

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Security of your Personal Information
HE secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. HE uses the following methods for this purpose:
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).
We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.

External Data Storage Sites
We may store your data on servers provided by third party hosting vendors with whom we have contracted.
California Privacy Rights
California law permits residents of California to request certain details about how their information is shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. However, under the law, a business is not required to provide this information if it permits California residents to opt in to, or opt out of, this type of sharing. HE qualifies for this alternative option. To opt out of having your information shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, please call us at the phone number provided on the Contact page.
