Our Collection and Use of Your Personal

We may collect and use information about you which we reasonably
believe will help us administer our business or provide services
or other opportunities to you. Among other things, we may use
the information we learn about you to help us personalize and
improve the experience you have with us, to respond to your requests
and to communicate with you. The types of information we may collect,
retain and use include the following:
- Site Information
In general, you can visit Human Element’s web site ("the
site") without telling us who you are or revealing any
information about yourself. Our web servers may collect the
domain names of visitors. This information may be aggregated
to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site,
pages viewed, etc. Human Element may utilize this information
("behavior profiles") to measure the use of our Site
and to improve the content we offer. We may share with third
parties experiential information or other data which does not
personally identify users of our Site.

You are not required to register in order to access our Site.
However, if you send us an email, register to receive site updates,
or if you contact us to receive information or services from

title, address (i.e., street address, city, state, country and
zip/postal code), phone number, fax number or other information

You are free to reject or "Not Accept" all cookies,
but we will not be able to customize your future visits.
- Email Communications
We may use your email address to contact you to respond to your
inquiries or to provide information on our services to you.
To help us determine whether you have received an email from
us, and to help us make emails more useful and interesting,
we may receive a confirmation that you have opened an email
from us. We will not share your email with others outside of
Human Element.

Because of the nature of our business, our products and services
are not designed to appeal to minors, and therefore we do not
knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from
children. Our terms and conditions of use require that access

reason to believe that information is being provided by a person
under the age of 18, Human Element will not collect the information.

complete a transaction for you; (3) the information is provided

or safety of our users or others (e.g., to a consumer reporting
agency for fraud protection etc.); (4) the disclosure is done
as part of a purchase, transfer or sale of services or assets
(e.g., in the event that substantially all of our assets are acquired
by another party, customer information may be one of the transferred
assets); (5) the information is provided to our agents, outside
vendors or service providers to perform functions on our behalf
(e.g., analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing
