HT collects each user’s name, user ID, address, city, state, postal code, telephone number, IP address and e-mail address. HT uses this information to contact the user regarding purchases, orders and administrative matters (such as reminders regarding the start time/date for an instructional program you chose to attend). New users must opt in to receive commercial communications and may opt out of receiving future commercial communications at any time (see “Anti-Spam Policy/Opt-out Choice” below). HT gathers only user information that is needed to administer its business and enhance and improve its services and products.

HT does not rent, sell or exchange user information, and generally restricts access to user information to qualified HT owners and agents.

HT may transmit user information to third-party vendors that provide products or services enabling HT to administer its website, its business and operations or related services.

HT will make commercially reasonable efforts to disclose when we are transmitting your information to a vendor and provide links to the vendor's policies concerning the use of your information.

HT runs marketing campaigns including but not limited to emails, ads, promotions, and contests.

HT may transmit a customer’s credit card data only to the appropriate credit card company and/or credit card payment processing company. HT does not store the financial information entered by users, such as credit card numbers and related financial account information. The financial information is only used to bill the user for products and services.

HT may disclose a user’s contact or financial information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with an order of a court or government authority, or a subpoena. HT may also disclose a user’s contact or financial information in the good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to protect HT or the website, or enforce the applicable Terms and Conditions, in conjunction with an investigation or legal, equitable or administrative action or proceeding.

HT may collect information on the services and products viewed by you on the website. HT may use this information to customize your experience and suggest and offer you products according to your preferences. HT may use this information to identify patterns and trends of use, but will only release or publish any such information in a manner that preserves your anonymity.
