Forms
HERGANICS websites contain forms through which Users may request information or supply feedback to HERGANICS. In some cases, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses or return addresses are required so that HERGANICS can supply requested information to you.  After the User fills out a form, HERGANICS may contact User with follow-up information (unless an “opt-out” box is checked on the form). HERGANICS does not provide any information supplied on its web forms to any outside organization for any reason (other than where may be required to by law: HERGANICS does not save this personal information for any other reason.
Surveys
Occasionally, HERGANICS may survey visitors to its websites. The information from these surveys is used in aggregate form to help HERGANICS understand the needs of its visitors so that it can improve its websites. HERGANICS generally does not ask for information in surveys that would personally identify the User.  If HERGANICS does request contact information for follow-up, the User may decline to provide it. If survey respondents provide personal information (such as an e-mail address) in a survey, it is shared only with those HERGANICS employees, authorized agents or contractors who need to see it to respond to the matter.

E-mail
“Phishing” is a scam designed to steal personal information. If the User receives an e-mail that looks like it is from HERGANICS asking for your personal information, the User should not respond. HERGANICS will never request the User’s password, username, or other personal information through e-mail.

Username and Password
In the event the User accesses any HERGANICS websites requiring a username and password, the User is solely responsible for keeping such Username and password strictly confidential.

Non-Personal Information
HERGANICS collects non-personal information such as website usage, traffic patterns, site performance and related statistics based on its tracking of the User’s visits to HERGANICS websites.

IP Addresses
HERGANICS web servers automatically collect the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computers that access HERGANICS websites.  An IP address is a number that is assigned to the User’s computer when the Internet is accessed.  It is not truly personally identifiable information because many different individuals can access the Internet via the same computer.  HERGANICS may use this information in aggregate form to better understand how its websites are being used and how it can better serve its visitors.  Although such information is not personally identifiable, HERGANICS can determine from an IP address a visitor’s Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity.

Security of Your Information
HERGANICS forms are encrypted to protect the User’s privacy. Once the information is sent to HERGANICS websites, it is kept in secure databases where it is not available to users on the Internet. 

HERGANICS periodically reviews and modifies, where appropriate, its security policies and procedures.  HERGANICS uses reasonable care to protect personally identifiable and confidential information provided by the User to its websites. HERGANICS has a security program in place that seeks to mitigate this risk substantially.

This Agreement shall be deemed to include all other notices, policies, disclaimers and other terms contained in HERGANICS websites; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between such other terms and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
