Welcome to the websites of Henderson Engineers, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, collectively, “Henderson,” “we,” or “us”. By using our website(s) (“Site”), you consent to use of information that is collected or submitted as described in this Privacy Policy.

“Personal information” is data that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. Such data includes but is not limited to name, address, telephone number, social security number, driver’s license number, protected class characteristics, educational and background information, and personal business transaction details.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

Our Clients are typically businesses, rather than individuals. That said, when you use our Site, contact us, or participate in an online survey, we may collect a variety of personal information, including your name, mailing address, IP address, phone number, email address or contact preferences.

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We may use your Personal Information to track your use of our Site; to assess your degree of satisfaction with our Site; to update you about our Site; to improve the effectiveness of the Site; to prevent, deter and investigate violations of this Privacy Policy, other business policies, and our Terms and Conditions, or any fraud and other illegal activities; to send you important notices regarding our services and changes to our business policies; or in any other lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

We may share your Personal Information with third parties who may help us operate the Site or help us assess your interest or satisfaction with the Site.

We may disclose your Personal Information if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy or to otherwise protect our operations, clients or users.

We may release your Personal Information to others (including law enforcement) if we believe such release is reasonably necessary to meet legal compliance obligations; enforce or apply the terms of applicable terms of use; detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or otherwise protect the rights, property or safety of others.

We may sell, transfer and/or disclose your Personal Information as part of a business divestiture, sale, merger, or acquisition of all or a part of our business. If another company acquires our company, business, or assets, that company will possess the Personal Information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, your Personal Information may also be transferred as a business asset.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?

We maintain a variety of security measures, including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. No system can be completely secure, so we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal Information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure.

Your Access to Personal Information

You can ask us for the Personal Information we possess, so that you can determine if it is inaccurate or if you want it deleted, provided we are not required to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes.

We may decline to process requests that are frivolous/vexatious, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law. Access, correction, or deletion requests can be made to privacy@hendersonengineers.com.

What Other Information Do We Collect?

We automatically gather information when you browse or view our Site. This log data may include your browser type (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer), your domain, the Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your computer (or the unique device ID of your mobile device, or other unique identifier), the date and time of your visits, the pages on our Site you visit and other information related to your visit.

We collect data that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose such non-personal information for any purpose.

If we combine non-personal information with your Personal Information, we will maintain the combined information as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined.

We may collect details of how visitors to the Site use our services.

How Do We Employ Cookies and Similar Technologies?

We use technologies such as “cookies” and web beacons so we can remember certain information about you, remember your preferences or recognize you when you return. They also help us compile aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interaction so that we can improve our Site and protect our Site from fraud.

A cookie is a text file that stored on your computer. As text files, cookies cannot read information on your hard drive, run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies let our Site remember your preferences or recognize you when you return.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. You can set your browser to decline all cookies automatically or to prompt you for a response each time a cookie is offered. Note that declining cookies may hinder our Site’s performance and may not allow you to access all of its features and services.

Web beacons, also known as clear GIFs, are often used in combination with cookies. These often transparent images are part of web pages, and allow us to count users who have visited certain pages and to generate statistics about how our Site is used. They are not used to access Personal Information.

Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether email has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.

As do many internet sites, we gather some information automatically, such Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

In some of our email messages, you will find a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Site. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click such links in our email messages.

We may use Google Adwords and Google Analytics to gather data such as age, gender and interests to provide marketing information, content, and/or advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences. For example, you may see certain online ads on our Site or other sites because we contract with Google and similar companies to target our ads based on information collected from you or by automated means, like cookies and web beacons. These companies also use automated technologies to collect information when you click on our ads, which helps track and manage the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.

You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising at http://www.aboutads.info/choices and edit or opt-out your Google Display Network ads’ preferences at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

You may give consent for our Site to capture and record certain precise geo-location or global positioning data from your device in order to tailor information to your location. We may link such location data to other information that you provide to us or that may be accessed in connection with your use of our Site.

You should be able manage how your mobile device and mobile browser share location information with us, as well as how your mobile browser handles cookies and related technologies, by adjusting your mobile device’s privacy and security settings.

There are “do not track” or similar browser choices available to internet users with respect to online web activity, but given the present lack of consensus of what constitutes an informed election, appropriate trigger or breadth of scope of such choice, our Site will not operate any differently when a “do not track” signal is received.

Social Networking Sites

You may be able to post content to Social Networking Sites (such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or Twitter) on which we maintain a presence. If you choose to do this, we will provide information to the Social Networking Sites in accordance with your elections. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your use of those websites and that it is your responsibility to review the terms of use and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, products or services of such Social Network Sites.

Third Party Links

Our Site may have links or be linked to other sites we do not own, control or maintain. We are not responsible for and make no representations or warranties about the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend that you check the privacy policies of other sites and contact the operator if you have concerns or questions. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Site and welcome any feedback about these third party sites.

Children

Our Site is not directed to minors. If we learn that we have collected personal information from anyone under the age of 13, we will endeavor to delete such information as soon as reasonably possible.

Privacy Rights of California Residents
