During the last 12 months, we have disclosed the types of personal information listed in the chart in Section 1 of this Policy to the service providers and vendors who help us operate and improve our Website and services, which include data analytics providers, information technology providers, and website hosting providers.  When we believe it is necessary or appropriate to do so, we may also disclose personal information to government authorities, internet service providers, and in response to a subpoena or court order.  We make these disclosures for one or more of the following business purposes: 

• To provide you with requested information and other useful content; 

• To facilitate your movement through our Website; 
• To help us offer you a personalized experience on our Website (for example, in order to provide you with specific resources applicable to your industry) 
• To offer, operate, evaluate, and improve our Website and our business; 
• In connection with our security and compliance programs; 
• To comply with law; and 

• To communicate with you. 

We take the following factors into account when considering a disclosure of your personal information: 

• Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information to another party if you have given us specific consent to do so or to use your personal information for a specific purpose that requires such disclosure. 
• Our Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements). 
• Our Legitimate Business Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. 

• The Role of Service Providers:  We may disclose your personal information to contractors and service providers who we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.  
• Certain Types of Corporate Transactions: We may disclose or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. 

Halloran does not sell personal information and does not share information with third parties for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.  

4. HOW WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES 

Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to the device you are using to facilitate customized site information and ongoing use. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to record information about your use of our Website, to make our Website easier for you to use, and to learn more about our customers and visitors to our Website so that we can improve our Website and our services. 

We use two types of cookies. “Session” cookies expire at the end of your browser session. They allow us to remember your actions during a browser session. “Persistent” cookies are stored on your device, allowing us to remember your preferences and actions when you return to our Website on subsequent occasions. The cookies we place on your device are called “first party cookies.” 

In addition to first party cookies, we allow other parties (“third parties”) to set cookies on our Website. Third party cookies may enable the third party’s functionality or features on our Website. 

We work with an independent service provider, HubSpot, to analyze visitor activity on our Website. When you access our Website, your web browser automatically sends certain information to HubSpot. By accessing our Website, you consent to the collection and use of your information for HubSpot. You are encouraged to review HubSpot’s Privacy Policy and contact HubSpot directly if you have questions. You can also opt out of the use of your information for HubSpot as described in the section of this Policy captioned “Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information.” 

5. CHOICES ABOUT HOW WE USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR INFORMATION 

• Internet Browser Settings – Some internet browsers allow you to change your cookies settings through an “Options” or “Preferences” menu.  Please note that certain features or functionality of our Website may become unavailable if you set your preferences to block all cookies. 

• Promotional Offers from Halloran. If you do not wish to have your email address/contact information used by Halloran to promote our own or third parties’ products or services, you can opt-out by sending us an email stating your request to dataprivacy@hallorancg.com. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may click the unsubscribe option at the bottom of the email or email us at dataprivacy@hallorancg.com asking to be omitted from future email distributions.  

6.  HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION 

We will only keep your personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). Nothing in this notice requires us to keep your personal information for any minimum period of time. 

If we have no continuing legitimate business need to keep your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further use until it can be deleted in the normal course of business. 

7. HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE 

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we collect. However, despite our efforts to secure your information, no transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized persons will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment. 

8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS 

You have certain rights regarding the personal information we collect or maintain about you.  

Accessing your information: You have the right to know what personal information we have collected about you. We will provide the information in a format that is easily understandable and, to the extent technically feasible, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format that can be transferred to another entity at your request. 

Correcting your information:  You have the right to ask us to update or correct inaccurate personal information.   

Deleting your information: You have the right to ask us to delete the personal information we have collected from you.  Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we have the right to retain information we need in order to complete a transaction with you or for other legitimate purposes.  

Submitting requests to access, correct, or delete your information: You can submit a request for access to or correction or deletion of your information online by submitting this form or by contacting us through any of the methods shown in the “Contact Information” section at the end of this Policy, including by calling us using our toll-free number. You may authorize a third party to submit any of these requests on your behalf; however, as described in the next paragraph, we may ask for confirmation of your authorization. There is no charge for submitting any of these requests.  We will not discriminate against you in any way for submitting a request or exercising any of your other rights under applicable law. 

If you ask us to disclose, correct, or delete your personal information, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. We may ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided to us or we may contact you through a communication method (such as phone, text, or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods. If you have authorized someone else (an “authorized agent”) to ask us to disclose, correct, or delete your personal information on your behalf, we may request that you identify yourself directly or confirm that you have authorized the agent to submit the request on your behalf. 

In addition to the rights described above, you can manage the information we collect and use about you in the following ways: 

Opting out of email marketing: You can unsubscribe from our marketing email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the emails that we send or by using the contact information provided below. You will then be removed from the marketing email list, but we may still communicate with you for other non-marketing purposes, such as to respond to service requests.  

Opting out of cookies:  You can opt out of some cookies and other tracking technologies as described above in the section of this Policy captioned “Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Information.” 

Withdrawing consent:  If we are relying on your consent to collect or use your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of our use of your information before the withdrawal, nor will it affect the use of your personal information conducted in reliance on grounds other than consent.  

If you live in certain regions, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws.   

If you have any questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may contact us using any of the methods described in the “Contact Information” section at the end of this Policy. 

9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES 

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Because no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Policy.  

11.  MINORS 

Our Website is not directed to persons under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18.  If you are a parent or guardian of a minor and become aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy and we will take reasonable steps to remove such information promptly. 

12. HOW WE MAKE UPDATES TO OUR POLICY 

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we update the Policy, we will change the date shown at the beginning of the Policy and post the updated Policy on our Website. We encourage you to check back frequently for current information on how we are protecting your information.  By continuing to use our Website after a Policy update, you agree to the privacy practices described in the updated Policy.
