Automatic Information Collection: When you visit the Web Site we collect certain demographic information (such as your IP address, type of Internet browser and operating system you use, pages viewed, the URL that you visited before you came to our Web Site, and the URL to which you next go) in order to understand how users navigate through the Web Site and to improve your experience using the Web Site.
User Provided Information: If you sign up for the Services, use the Services, or send email or other communication to HEVO, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our Web Site and Services. In registering for the Services, we need to get some information from you (like name, title, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card or other means of payment, etc.). When using the Services, you may be asked for additional information to help identify you. All of this information used to specifically identify you is called “User Information” in this privacy policy.

Aggregated Information. HEVO may also analyze and compile information on patterns of usage of the Services. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. We may use this information to improve the Services and provide this information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies. Like most websites, we also use cookies to provide users an efficient experience in using the Web Site. A cookie is a small data file that certain web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you have visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of the Web Site use cookies to track user traffic patterns. HEVO does this in order to determine the usefulness of the Web Site information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. HEVO does not correlate this information with data about individual users, nor does it share this information or sell it to any third party.

If HEVO Inc. learns that it has collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 on its Services, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If a User believes that HEVO Inc. may have collected any such personal information on its Services, please notify the Company at support@teamhevo.com.
