This Privacy Policy explains how haobary.com ("the site", "we", "us" or "our") handles personal information when you visit the site or use its login and sign-up forms. It applies only to haobary.com and not to any other website you reach from it.
We have kept both the site and this policy simple. We collect only what we need to run the site and to deal with what you ask us to do, and we do not sell your information or use it for advertising.
Information We Collect
The information we hold falls into two groups. The first is what you choose to give us, mainly the details you type into the login and sign-up forms. The second is basic technical data that web servers record automatically whenever a page is requested.
- Form details: for example a username or ID, a mobile number, a password and any other details a form asks for.
- Messages: anything you send us by email, such as a question about your data.
- Technical data: your IP address, browser type and version, device type, the pages requested, the date and time of each request and the referring page, as recorded in server logs.
Please do not send us payment card details, bank details or identity documents by email. We do not need them to answer questions about this policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use personal information only where we have a clear reason to do so. The purposes are listed below.
- To handle what you request through the login or sign-up forms.
- To reply to messages you send us.
- To keep the site running, fix faults and understand the basic load on our server.
- To detect and prevent abuse, spam, fraud attempts and security incidents.
- To meet legal obligations that apply to us.
We do not use your information for profiling or marketing, and we do not combine it with data from other sources to build a picture of you. If we ever wanted to use it for a new purpose, we would update this policy first.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this policy. Form details are kept for as long as needed to deal with your request, and are then deleted or anonymised unless we must keep them for legal reasons.
Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, and are then deleted or overwritten. Emails you send us are kept while we deal with your query and for a reasonable time afterwards, in case you follow up.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, such as limiting who can access server data and keeping the site's software up to date. However, no website or method of sending data over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
You can help as well: choose a password you use nowhere else, never share it, and confirm the address in your browser before typing any details. If you think your information has been misused, contact us straight away.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information we hold about you. In particular, you can contact us to make any of the requests below.
- Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Ask us to delete your information where we no longer have a reason to keep it.
- Object to, or ask us to limit, the way we use your information.
We may need to confirm your identity before we act on a request, to make sure we do not give your information to someone else. We will reply within a reasonable time and will not charge you for a reasonable request.
Children and Age Limits
This site is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe that someone under 18 has given us their details, please contact us and we will delete the information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if the site changes or the law requires it. The current version will always be published on this page, and we will aim to make significant changes clear on the site. Please check back now and then to stay informed.
Contact Us
If you have a question about this policy or want to use any of your rights, email [email protected]. Please give enough detail for us to understand your request, and do not include passwords or payment details in your message.
