Your privacy is critically important to us. At Hyperweek we have a few fundamental principles:
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Hyperweek SA (“Hyperweek”) operates a website Hyperweek.com. It is Hyperweek’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Like most website operators, Hyperweek collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Hyperweek’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Hyperweek’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Hyperweek may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Hyperweek also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Hyperweek does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to Hyperweek’s websites choose to interact with Hyperweek in ways that require Hyperweek to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Hyperweek gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at Hyperweek.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, Hyperweek collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Hyperweek. Hyperweek does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Hyperweek may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Hyperweek may monitor the most popular blogs on the Hyperweek.com site or use spam screened by our service to help identify spam. Hyperweek may display this information publicly or provide it to others. Hyperweek may disclose personally-identifying information when you read articles on HyperWeek, as a registered member.
Hyperweek discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information when you read articles on HyperWeek (as a reader). Otherwise Hyperweek discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Hyperweek’s behalf or to provide services available at Hyperweek’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Hyperweek’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Hyperweek will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Hyperweek discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Hyperweek believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Hyperweek, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Hyperweek website and have supplied your email address, Hyperweek may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Hyperweek and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Hyperweek takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Hyperweek uses cookies to help Hyperweek identify and track visitors, their usage of Hyperweek website, and their website access preferences. Hyperweek visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Hyperweek’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Hyperweek’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Hyperweek may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Hyperweek’s sole discretion. Hyperweek encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a Hyperweek.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
