Furthermore, this Privacy Policy explains what Personal Information we receive and collect and how we use, process, retain, and transfer such Personal Information.
HBPW is fully committed to using its best efforts to maintain privacy protection and management of any Personal Information that is shared with us as a result of using our Service. As used in this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means any information that may be used, either alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a phone number, an email address, and other contact information.
1. End User License Agreements. This Privacy Policy forms part of the Terms of Use Agreement or other licensing agreement that we enter into with our Customers. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Service Agreement.

3. Collection and Receipt of Personal Information. We may receive and/or collect Personal Information in the following ways:
3.1 Customer Account Set-Up and Account Use: HBPW may collect certain Personal Information that a Customer chooses to provide as part of setting up and maintaining a Customer account to use the Service. This Personal Information may include a user ID, name, email address, phone number, address and other Personal Information that the Customer chooses to make available in connection with use of the Service. In order to access and use the Service, a separate user name and password will be created for individual Customers.

We use various technologies to determine location, such as global position system (GPS) signals, Wi-Fi access points, and cell tower ids. If you choose to use these Location Based Services, you agree that we may receive Location Data. If you don’t want us to receive your Location Data, you may re-configure the settings on your mobile device to turn off location-sharing features. However, please be aware that turning off device location-sharing features may result in the inability to use our Location Based Service and your use of the Service may be negatively impacted.

The information inside the log files may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, application times taken to process Service user requests, Service user action details along with input parameters for debugging, Device IDs, public telephone numbers (PTNs), browser types, date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, clicked pages and any other information that a browser may send to us.
3.4 Cookies: The Service may utilize session "cookies" for authentication validation purposes. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for example, to authenticate access to the Service. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser. Please be aware that if you choose to block a cookie, your login attempt to the Service may be unsuccessful.

We use commercially reasonable efforts to only engage or interact with third party service providers and partners that also instate a privacy policy governing their use and processing of Personal Information.

9. Access and Accuracy - Customers. To the extent that we are provided with Personal Information, we wish to maintain accurate Personal Information. Our Customers may log into their Service account and use the Service tools to access or correct a material inaccuracy in certain Personal Information that we may be storing.

The email should include adequate details of the request.
10. Links to Other Sites and Third Party Advertisements. Third party advertisements may appear on some pages of the Service, for example on the Service account log-in page. Such third party advertisements, and other parts of the Service (for example, the Service account log-in page) may also contain links to third party websites and services that are not owned or controlled by HBPW. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of third party websites, services and advertisements, and you visit them at your own risk.
11. Enforcement/Verification. HBPW uses the self-assessment approach to verify our compliance with this Privacy Policy. To do so, we conduct periodic compliance audits of our privacy practices. If we become aware that any of our employees or third party service providers are using or disclosing Personal Information in a manner that violates this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop the use or disclosure.
12. Dispute Resolution. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns you may have regarding the use or disclosure of Personal Information to HBPW’s Customer Service Department at customerservice@hollandbpw.com. HBPW will investigate and attempt to resolve complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Personal Information in accordance with the principles contained in this Privacy Policy.
13. Security. The security of Personal Information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
14. Privacy for Children. HBPW’s Service is not designed to be directed towards children under the age of 18. As such, we do not intend to knowingly collect Personal Information from any person who is under 18 years of age.
15. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals. HBPW does not track Service users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. Accordingly, we do not currently respond or take any action with respect to web browser "do not track" signals or other mechanisms that provide consumers the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information about an individual consumer's online activities over time and across third-party web sites or online services.
16. Contacting HBPW. Any comments, concerns, complaints, or questions regarding our Privacy Policy may be addressed to Customer Service at customerservice@hollandbpw.com
