HBE LLP (“HBE,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting your privacy and protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy describes how information may be collected, used, shared, and protected when you visit or interact with HBE websites, including hbecpa.com and other websites operated by HBE that link to this policy (collectively, the “Website”). By using the Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Collection of Personal Information
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, employer or organization, and other information you submit through forms, registrations, inquiries, applications, or other interactions with the Website.
We may also collect information that does not directly identify you, such as general demographic information, preferences, interests, and information about how visitors use the Website.
Certain technical information may be collected automatically when you use the Website. This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, device information, domain name, referring website, pages viewed, and access dates and times. We may use this information to operate and improve the Website, maintain service quality, understand usage patterns, and compile general statistics regarding Website activity.
If you choose to disclose personal or sensitive information in a publicly accessible area of the Website, that information may be viewed and used by others. Please use caution before posting information in any public-facing feature that may be available on the Website.
The Website may contain links to third-party websites. HBE encourages you to review the privacy practices of those websites. HBE is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of websites that are not operated by HBE.
Use of Personal Information
HBE may use personal information to operate the Website, respond to your requests, provide information or services you request, communicate with you, and support our client, recruiting, marketing, educational, and business development activities.
We may also use information you provide to tell you about HBE services, events, resources, or other information that may be relevant to you, and we may invite you to participate in surveys or provide feedback about current or potential services.
HBE does not sell, rent, or lease customer or contact lists to third parties. From time to time, we may communicate with you about offerings or information involving third-party business partners. Unless otherwise disclosed or authorized, we do not provide those parties with your personal contact information for their own independent marketing purposes.
We may share personal information with trusted service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, communications, mailing, technology support, or other administrative functions. These providers are permitted to use personal information only as needed to provide services to HBE and are expected to protect the confidentiality and security of the information.
HBE does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as information regarding race, religion, or political affiliation, for purposes unrelated to the reason it was provided without appropriate authorization, except as otherwise permitted or required by law.
We may use information about Website activity to understand which pages, resources, and services are of greatest interest to visitors and to improve or personalize Website content and communications.
HBE may disclose personal information when we believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, or regulatory obligation; is necessary to protect or defend HBE’s rights or property; or is necessary to protect the safety of HBE personnel, Website users, clients, or the public.
Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to support Website functionality, remember preferences, analyze Website traffic, and improve the online experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
Cookies may allow the Website to recognize a returning browser or device and remember information or settings from a prior visit. This can make future interactions with the Website more convenient and efficient.
Most web browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can generally adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, some Website features may not function as intended. Where required, the Website may also provide a cookie or consent-management tool that allows you to manage certain categories of cookies or similar technologies.
Security of Personal Information
HBE uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Information submitted through the Website may be stored or processed using systems and service providers selected with security and confidentiality considerations in mind.
When sensitive information is transmitted through the Website or to another website, appropriate encryption or other security measures may be used where applicable. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, however, and HBE cannot guarantee absolute security.
