3) Collection, Use, and De-identification of Personal Information

At The HRT Club, we are serious about respecting your privacy when you visit our website. You can explore many parts of the site without sharing any personal details. When we do need information to provide services to you, we make sure to collect it fairly, legally, and without being intrusive. Your name, email, and phone number are only collected if you choose to give them to us. This information helps us get to know you better, so we can tailor the website to what you like, share important updates as you’ve asked, and improve our products and services. To keep things private, we use a feature called Google Analytics IP anonymization. This means we don’t track or store individual IP addresses at the user level to keep your data safe. And don’t worry about data overload – any details we get from Google Analytics or other plugins, like anonymized IP addresses, visit times, user counts, session durations, pages visited, or types of browsers, will be either made anonymous or deleted every 14 months. We might keep some general information from Google Analytics or other plugins for our analysis, but it’s always in an aggregate, non-personal form. As always, if you have questions about how your data is used you may contact the Privacy Officer at Privacy@TheHRTClub.com.
