We make every effort to provide links to high quality, reputable sites but we're not responsible for their privacy practices or, site content, or the services they offer.

Surveys & Contests

From time to time our site may request information from users via surveys or contests.

Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.

Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as postcode, age level).

Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Security

This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Access to personally identifiable information is only given to employees, associates or consultants working on behalf of HSA who need this information to do a specific job, for instance matching users who seek funding with investors. Anyone granted access to personal information in this way is strictly banned from using the information in any other way and for any other purpose.

Site & Service Updates

We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Users are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post a notice on website (www.HSA.com) advising users that our privacy policy has been changed, and containing a link to the updated policy (the updated version of the document you are reading at the moment)

This notice will be in place for at least ninety (90) days from the publication date of the revised security policy.

Virus Protection, Security & Compatibility

We know that your privacy is very important to you and that you take the security of your information seriously.

We've implemented technology and security policies, rules and measures to protect the personal information we have under our control, both on and off-line, from improper access, use, alteration, destruction and loss.

While precautions have been taken on all of HSA computers, servers and website to detect computer viruses and ensure security, HSA cannot guarantee or warrant that website or the server or any other equipment or software that makes the website available is virus free and secure.

HSA shall not be liable for any loss or damage, which occurs as a result of any breach of security.

HSA does not give any warranties as to the compatibility of the website with your computer systems, software and or hardware.
