In the course of operating the HTS website, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

“Personal Information” is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number. Personal Information is collected by HTS when you choose to provide it to us when requesting information, requesting a service or registering for an event. In addition, if you choose to contact an HTS employee, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also receive Personal Information from our service partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information.

“Non-Personal Information” is information of an anonymous nature, such as your Internet Protocol Address (“IP Address”), the domain you may have used to access the HTS website, the type and version of browser or operating system you may be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g., average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on the HTS website, is also considered Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the HTS website. For example, our web analytics providers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie (as defined herein) when you choose to visit the HTS website. Non-Personal Information is used by HTS as described in this Privacy Policy.

• To provide services for which you have registered.
• To provide you with information you have requested.
• To understand your needs.
• To enhance your visitor experience.
• To assist us in creating new services that will serve you better.

HTS collects Non-Personal Information to measure the use of our site, to improve the content of our site, to evaluate technical performance and to identify problem areas.

To enhance your experience on our site, many of our web pages use cookies. Cookies are small text files that we place in your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personal information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at our site. Once you choose to provide a web page with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. A cookie is like an identification card. It is unique to your computer and can only be read by the server that gave it to you.

We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and offerings on our sites. For example, we may use cookies to personalize your experience on our web pages (e.g., to recognize you by name when you return to our site). We also may use cookies to provide you tailored offers of products and services. Cookies are essential to the proper functioning of the HTS website. If you want to control which cookies you accept, you can configure your browser to accept all cookies or to alert you every time a website’s server offers a cookie. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser option so that you will not receive cookies and you can also delete existing cookies from your browser. However, we recommend you have cookies enabled to help us personalise your experience of our website.

Children under the age of majority must obtain the permission of a parent or guardian before providing us with any personal information. Individuals under the age of majority should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any personal information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the web.

While we do our best to protect your personal information using secure web pages, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to HTS. You are solely responsible for maintaining that any personal information you provide to us online is done so over a secure connection to the Internet. The HTS website contains links to other sites and we attempt to only link to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy. Links to third-party websites are provided as a convenience for our site visitors and do not constitute endorsement or control of their content. Other Internet sites or services that may be accessible through the HTS website have separate data and privacy practices independent of us, and therefore we disclaim any responsibility or liability for their policies or actions. You are advised to read the privacy policy of external sites before disclosing any personal information. Please contact those vendors and others directly if you have any questions about their privacy policies.

This Privacy Policy may be changed at any time on the HTS website.
