Privacy Policy

We at HSL are committed to protecting your privacy. Our goal is to provide you with a positive experience on our website and when using our products and services, while at the same time keeping your Personal Information secure. Our privacy practices are described below. By visiting our website, using our Products or providing us with your Personal Information, you are accepting and consenting to the practices, terms and conditions described in this Privacy Policy.

Types of Information Covered by This Privacy Policy

HSL may collect both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information. “Personal Information” means any information that can be used to identify you. Some examples of Personal Information include your name, address, email address and phone number. “Non-Personal Information” means information that on its own cannot be used to identify you. Some examples of Non-Personal Information include usage data relating to our website and Products, page views, etc.

Information may be aggregated and/or anonymized. When information is aggregated, it is combined with information about other customers and users. When information is anonymized, Personal Information is removed from collected data and the remaining portion of the data, containing only Non-Personal Information, is repurposed for internal or external use, such as, for example, to determine how many users of a particular router include an Internet-enabled television in a home network environment, or how many users viewed a particular website page. Aggregated information that includes Personal Information is considered Personal Information until it has been anonymized. Anonymized information is considered Non-Personal Information. In general, usage data collected when you visit our website or use HSL Products is both aggregated and anonymized so it does not identify you personally
