It is HB’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to uk-hb.com (hereinafter, ‘Us’, ‘We’, ‘HB’, or ‘Hamilton-Brown’). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the website. We have adopted this privacy policy (‘Privacy Policy’) to explain what information may be collected on our website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.
This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of service posted on our website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our website. Depending on your activities when visiting our website, you may be required to agree to additional terms of service.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, HB collects non‑Personally Identifiable Information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. HB’s purpose in collecting non‑Personally Identifiable Information is to better understand how HB visitors use its website. From time to time, HB may release non‑Personally Identifiable Information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
HB also collects Personally Identifiable Information like internet protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on uk-hb.com blog posts. HB only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses Personally Identifiable Information as described below.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Certain visitors to HB’s websites choose to interact with HB in ways that require HB to gather Personally Identifiable Information. The amount and type of information that HB gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who leave a comment at uk-hb.com to provide a username and email address, and we will ask visitors who submit a contact form enquiry to leave a name and email address so that we may contact them.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy and terms of service of every site you visit.
We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites, products, or services.
Protection of Certain Personally Identifiable Information
HB discloses Personally Identifiable Information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information to process it on HB’s behalf or to provide services available at HB’s website, and that (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using HB’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. HB will not rent or sell Personally Identifiable Information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organisations, as described above, HB discloses Personally Identifiable Information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when HB believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of HB, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of uk-hb.com and have supplied your email address, HB may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with HB and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email, or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. HB takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration, or destruction of Personally Identifiable Information.
