Privacy Statement
HTN is committed to protecting your privacy and developing
technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience.
This Statement of Privacy applies to the HTN Web site and governs
data collection and usage. By using the HTN website, you consent
to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
HTN collects personally identifiable information, such as
your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number.
HTN also collects anonymous demographic information, which
is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences,
interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software
that is automatically collected by HTN. This information
can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access
times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used
by HTN for the operation of the service, to maintain quality
of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use
of the HTN Web site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable
information or personally sensitive data through HTN public message
boards, this information may be collected and used by others.
HTN encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web
sites you choose to link to from HTN so that you can understand
how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. HTN
is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on
Web sites outside of the HTN and HTN family of Web
sites.
Use of your Personal Information
HTN collects and uses your personal information to operate
the HTN Web site and deliver the services you have requested.
HTN also uses your personally identifiable information to
inform you of other products or services available from HTN
and its affiliates. HTN may also contact you via surveys
to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of
potential new services that may be offered.
HTN does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third
parties. HTN may, from time to time, contact you on behalf
of external business partners about a particular offering that may
be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable
information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred
to the third party. In addition, HTN may share data with
trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you
email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.
All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information
except to provide these services to HTN, and they are required
to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
HTN does not use or disclose sensitive personal information,
such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your
explicit consent.
HTN keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers
visit within HTN, in order to determine what HTN services
are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content
and advertising within HTN to customers whose behavior indicates
that they are interested in a particular subject area.
HTN Web sites will disclose your personal information, without
notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief
that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the
law or comply with legal process served on HTN or the site;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of HTN; and,
(c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety
of users of HTN, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The HTN Web site uses "cookies" to help you personalize
your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run
programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain
that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the
Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example,
if you personalize HTN's pages, or register with HTN
site or services, a cookie helps HTN to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of
recording your personal information, such as billing addresses,
shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same HTN
Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved,
so you can easily use the HTN features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the HTN services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
HTN secures your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. HTN secures the personally identifiable
information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure
environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted
to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
HTN will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to
reflect company and customer feedback. HTN encourages you
to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how HTN
is protecting your information.

HTN welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy.
If you believe that HTN has not adhered to this Statement,

commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy
the problem.
