It applies to information we collect on this Website, in email, text, and other electronic messages between you and this Website, and through any mobile or desktop applications you download from this Website.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website. By accessing or using this Website, you indicate that you understand, accept, and consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect
We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including information by which you may be personally identified, such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline (“personal information”).
Information you provide to us directly includes data you enter on forms on our Website, such as when registering for an account, subscribing to our service, posting material, or requesting further services. This may also include records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses) if you contact us, your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes, details of transactions you carry out through our Website, and your search queries on the Website.
Information collected automatically as you navigate the Website includes details of your visits to our Website, including traffic data, location data, logs, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Website. The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies (or browser cookies), flash cookies, and web beacons.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information, for several legitimate business purposes. These purposes include presenting our Website and its contents to you, providing you with information, products, or services that you request from us, fulfilling any other purpose for which you provide the information, and carrying out our obligations and enforcing our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us. We also use your information to notify you about changes to our Website or any products or services we offer or provide through it, and to allow you to participate in interactive features on our Website.
We may use the information we have collected from you to enable us to display advertisements to our advertisers’ target audiences. Even though we do not disclose your personal information for these purposes without your consent, if you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may assume that you meet its target criteria.
The information we collect helps us to improve our Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Website according to your individual interests, speed up your searches, and recognize you when you return to our Website.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction. We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy to our subsidiaries and affiliates, to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
We may disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements, and if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Hortabin Media, our customers, or others.
We will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
5. Data Security
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
The information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls. Any sensitive personal information will be encrypted using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you, which may be subject to limitations and restrictions under applicable law. These rights may include the right to request access to and receive information about the personal information we maintain about you, update and correct inaccuracies in your personal information, have the information restricted or deleted, object to our processing of your personal information, and withdraw any consent you have previously provided.
You can opt out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in those emails. We may still send you non-promotional communications, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations. You can also control information collected by cookies through your browser settings and other tools. However, if you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to exercise these rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month.
7. Third-Party Links
Our Website may contain links to other 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 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 or services. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by our Website. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Hortabin Media of the site.
8. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including to provide you with services, to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide you with services, whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, and whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations). We may also retain aggregated, anonymized data for internal analysis purposes.
9. Updates to This Policy
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page with a notice that the privacy policy has been updated on the Website home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active, and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
