Updated PRIVACY STATEMENT (Effective as of September 1, 2022)

Thank you for visiting HSpeQ LLC. (“HSpeQ”) website (the “Site”). Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice (the “Policy”) which applies to the information provided or collected through this Site located at www.hspeq.com and www.idcubes.com and in connection with HSpeQ's various services and software products (collectively, "Services").

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us through our website or write to us at support@HSpeQ.com

The Information We Collect

We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way (for example, through surveys, questionnaires, the information provided at registration, and in the course of other communications with us). This includes information that can identify you (“personal information”).

When you register as a user of HSpeQ, you voluntarily provide information about yourself (such as name and e-mail address). In addition, when you use HSpeQ software or Services, the documents, text, and information transmitted to us for analysis and correction are transferred to our servers, and this information may include personal information. However, we do not store any datasets that may be inputted into the IDCube software for analysis.

When you place an order on our site our merchant services provider requests certain personally identifiable information on the order form. You must provide contact information (such as name, e-mail address, and billing address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date). The merchant services provider processing the order will use this information for billing purposes, for filling your orders, and as described in the merchant services provider's privacy policy. If there is a problem in processing an order, we or they may use the information provided at registration to contact you.

The amount of personally identifying information you provide is up to you, and you are not obligated to provide such information. However, your use of the Site or the Services may be affected if such information is not provided.

You may provide information on behalf of another entity. If you completed the registration or provide information on behalf of a certain entity, you represent to us that you were authorized by that entity to give us consent to use the submitted information.

We also may collect certain non-personally identifying information when you visit our Site or use the Services, such as your IP address, the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and access times. We also may collect information about your online activity on our site. We may use third-party contractors to collect and aggregate this information.

The Site and Services are directed to a general audience and we do not offer services directed to children. If we gain actual knowledge that a child under the age of 13 has provided any personal information to us, we will immediately delete this information.

License Key. For IDCubePro and additional packages, we collect and store your computer’s unique identification number. This information will be used for the sole purpose of license key verification and will not be transmitted or sold to a third party.

Surveys or Contests. We may provide you, from time to time, the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you, therefore, have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and email address) and demographic information (such as zip code or country).

Customer Testimonials. We may post customer testimonials on the site which may contain personal information. We do obtain the customer's consent via e-mail prior to posting the testimonial to post their name along with their testimonials. To request the removal of your personal information from our testimonials, contact us at support@hspeq.com. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.
