Your privacy is of great importance to HBMEO. We adhere to the privacy law, ensuring your data is safe with us and always used appropriately. In this privacy statement, we explain what information we collect about you through our website https://hbmeo.com and how we handle it.

If you have any questions or want to know what data we have about you, please contact HBMEO.

Statistics and Profiling
We keep anonymous statistics about the use of our website, for instance, with Google Analytics. These statistics help us improve our website to display only relevant information or to enhance its user-friendliness, such as by improving the mobile version of our site or making frequently read articles easier to find.

In addition to anonymous statistics, we also collect personal data with your consent. We may combine these data to learn more about you, always respecting your privacy. If you do not want us to use these data, you can always let us know.

We collect the following personal data: your first and last name, phone number, email address, the name of your organization, organization size, field of work, and sector. These data are collected only when you fill out and submit one of the forms on our website. We retain this information for at least one year unless you request us to delete it.

Advertisements
Our website only displays advertisements for our own products and services, not those of third parties. We assess whether people find these interesting and use this information to offer only relevant or interesting ads and offers in the future.

Disclosure to Other Companies or Institutions
We do not share your personal data with third parties without your explicit consent unless it is necessary to provide our service or if we are legally required to do so (for example, if the police request data in the case of a suspected crime).
We collaborate with certain companies, meaning these partners may receive your personal data. This is necessary to deliver what you have requested on our website. Think of a marketing company that helps us improve the website, create ads, or send emails. These companies are obliged to treat your data confidentially. We make agreements with these companies about the processing of personal data, which are laid down in a so-called processor agreement.

Retention Period
We do not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was received. If you request us to delete your personal data, we will remove it from our database by the end of the relevant month at the latest.

Cookies
Our online service uses cookies. Cookies are small files in which we can store information so you don’t have to re-enter it repeatedly. We can also see if you visit us again. We do not store cookies longer than legally prescribed and strictly necessary for the purposes mentioned.

When you first visit our online service, we display a notification with an explanation about cookies. We will ask for your consent to use these cookies. We use the following cookies:

Analytical cookies: We use Google Analytics analytical cookies to understand how our website is used and to improve it continuously. We collect only anonymous information and let Google anonymize IP addresses, meaning we cannot personally identify you through these cookies. We have a processor agreement with Google containing strict data retention rules. We do not allow Google to use the obtained Analytics information for other Google services. However, Google may share this information with third parties if required by law or if these third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. More information on Google Analytics data processing can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Privacy Policy.

Other cookies: We also use cookies from companies such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Hotjar, and Zopim. These cookies ensure you do not see the same ads repeatedly, align the ads you see on social media with your interests, track ad effectiveness, and improve them. These cookies are placed only with your consent. During your first visit to our website, you will be asked to accept these cookies. They will be placed only after your consent.

Deleting Cookies
Cookies have an expiration date. Once a cookie’s expiration date has passed, it is automatically deleted. You can manually disable or remove cookies at any time. Consult your browser’s help documentation for guidance. Most browsers have this option under settings.

Security
The security of personal data is very important to us. To protect your privacy, we take the following measures:

  • Access to personal data is protected by a username and password.
  • We ensure that only necessary personnel have access to personal data.
  • Data is stored in a separate, protected system after receipt.
  • We use secure connections (Secure Sockets Layer or SSL) to protect all information between you and our website when entering personal data.
