The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve your experience. We also use third-party analytics and advertising tools that may set their own cookies.

5.1 Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies: Required for the Website to function. These cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Website (e.g., pages visited, session duration). We use this information in aggregate form.

Advertising / retargeting cookies: The Website includes the LinkedIn Insight Tag, a tracking pixel provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. This tag may set cookies that allow LinkedIn to identify visitors for the purpose of delivering targeted advertising on LinkedIn’s platform. Data collected by LinkedIn through this tag is governed by LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy (available at linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy).

You can manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Settings (linked in the Website footer). You may also configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being set. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.

6. Data Storage and Security

Information collected through the contact form is stored on HIA’s internal systems, which are located in the United States. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including access controls and secure transmission protocols (HTTPS).

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we take data security seriously and use commercially reasonable safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for internal record-keeping purposes. Automatically collected analytics data is retained in accordance with the policies of the applicable analytics provider.

You may request deletion of your contact information at any time by contacting us at privacy@hia.ai (see Section 9).

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, including partner organizations and external resources (such as whitepapers hosted on Google Drive). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag referenced in Section 5 is a third-party service. Data collected by LinkedIn is subject to LinkedIn’s own privacy practices and not this policy.
