You Own Your Information
You own your PII, and by your furnishing us your PII you have thereby granted us a license to use what you decide to share with us. Some of the content on our Site is hosted by a third party vendor, and some requests are fulfilled by third party affiliates. You should be aware that by registering and/or signing up on our Site to use our products and services, some or all of your PII may be disclosed to our third party hosting company to insure a positive and efficient overall experience. We do not have current plans to share PII with any other third parties (other than for the legal, safety and security reasons as set forth in this Privacy Policy), but that could change. If we do intend to share your PII, we will notify you using the e-mail address you provided and give you an opportunity to opt out in advance of our sharing of your PII. We do look at and may share collected information in an aggregate or “headless” form, which does not specifically identify you personally. This is detailed below. We do not consider such information PII.
California has passed legislation requiring certain specific disclosures be made available to California residents who use the Internet and provide information that may be used for marketing or other purposes. That legislation requires any business that discloses a customer's PII to any third party to provide the customer a method for obtaining the names, addresses and certain other specified details of anyone who might have received that PII. We would like to offer this option, regardless of whether you are a California resident. As such, you may request this information from Humphreys & Associates by writing to:
Humphreys & Associates, Inc.
Attention: Privacy Rights
9910 Research Drive
Irvine, CA 92618
or by sending an e-mail to privacy@humphreys-assoc.com. You can also reach us by telephone at 714.685.1730.
Ways We Use Your Information
We hold the PII we collect from you and other Users individually for services we provide directly to you; and in aggregate form – similar to a counter – to compare website activity information about all of Humphreys & Associates’ Users collectively. We may share certain aggregated information about our Users with third parties, including our vendors, third party affiliates, such as the number of Humphreys & Associates’ Users who purchase certain goods and/or service, for example. We have the expectation that the third parties with which we may share your information use reasonably commercial efforts in maintaining the security of your information.
In addition to the above, Humphreys & Associates may process your PII for the following purposes:
- Providing our Site to you, including the display of customized Content;
- Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our Site;
- Ensuring the technical functioning of our network;
- Sending communications, updates and/or news;
- Developing new products and/or services;
- Keeping you informed of products, services, and promotions;
- Third party hosting of our Site.
Furthermore, Humphreys & Associates may use your PII without your prior consent when we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such PII is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce Humphreys & Associates’ applicable Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Humphreys & Associates, its Users or the public as required or permitted by law. From time to time, we may supplement PII collected on our Site with information collected by third parties.
If Humphreys & Associates becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of our assets, your PII may, and likely will, be disclosed to third parties and we will provide notice before your PII is transferred to the acquiring company and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. If we propose to use your PII for any purposes other than those described in this Policy, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of your PII for those other purposes before such is offered. We will not collect or use PII for purposes other than those described in this Policy unless we have obtained your prior consent.
If you are visiting Humphreys & Associates from outside of the United States, please be advised that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated.

Please be assured that we seek to take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected under the laws of the United States. By using our Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Policy.
Security
Humphreys & Associates takes commercially reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data that you share and that we collect we store. Furthermore, we restrict access to PII only to Humphreys & Associates employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information to operate, develop or improve our Site. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations. Unfortunately, no security system can be 100% secured; accordingly, Humphreys & Associates cannot guarantee the security of any information provided to us in connection with the information that we collect through our Site.
