Updated on May 17th 2018.

Overview

Thank you for visiting the HeyLab website (“Website”), owned and operated by HeyHuman (“HeyHuman”, “HeyLab”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or other similar pronouns). This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) governs your use of the Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy as they may be amended from time to time. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and is part of, the HeyHuman Terms of Use, which governs your use of the Website in general.

Your privacy is a serious matter to us and we have created this Privacy Policy to inform you of how we collect, use, share and secure your Personal data; “Personal data” includes your full name, address, email address, other information that may identify you as an individual or allow online or offline contact with you, and any other non-personally identifiable information associated with Personal data. This Privacy Policy explains, in general, what Personal data and other information is collected on the Website, how the information is used, and with whom we may share such information. Please take a few minutes to read our Privacy Policy so that you understand how HeyHuman treats your Personal data. It is our general policy not to share your Personal data with third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes without your consent.

Changes to the Data Protection Law

From May 25th 2018 we will be processing your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Up until that point we will continue to process your personal data in accordance with the existing Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). This notice is written to comply with both the DPA and the GDPR.

Personal data means names of people, which you may share within an email address when completing an online form on our website or by corresponding with us by phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal email addresses you provide when you download some of our newsletters; when you send us a new business request; when you apply for a job, and when you participate in discussion boards on our blog or other social media functions on our website. It also includes when you enter a promotion or survey, during the course of any other activity commonly carried out on our website and when you report a problem with our website.

Applicability of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to both information we may collect online and information we may collect through the Website, but does not apply to information collected through other sources or from third parties.

Legitimate Interest

We may also process your data when it is within legitimate interest to do so and the processing does not impact on any of your data protection rights. Where we process personal data on the basis of legitimate interests, we will conduct a Legitimate Interest Assessment in order to ensure your rights under GDPR are not contravened. Our legitimate interests include:

Promotion, marketing and advertising of our products and services
Ensuring the security and integrity of our services and ensuring that our systems such as websites are functioning correctly
Selling and supplying services to our clients
Improving existing products and services and developing new products and services

We may provide your Personal data to these third-party service providers when the information is necessary for them to perform their duties.

Automatically collected non-Personal data

When you use the Website, we also may collect certain standard information from your browser and personal computer that websites often collect, such as your IP address, your browser information (including browser type, capabilities and language), your operating system, and the date and time you accessed the Website. We also capture the country from which the visit came and the paths taken as you move from one website or webpage to another website or webpage (i.e. your ‘click stream’ activity). We may group some or all of this information into aggregate data in order to describe the use of the Website by our users to our existing or potential business partners, sponsors, advertisers or other third parties, or in response to a government request. We may also group demographic information that we collect from the Website’s users into aggregate data for the same purposes. We reserve the right to use and share any such non-Personal data collected at the Website with third parties for any lawful purpose. HeyHuman does not typically associate such non-Personal data with any individual. However, to the extent HeyHuman associates your Personal data with non-Personal data within our database, we will treat all the associated information as Personal data under this Privacy Policy. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not share this associated information with third parties.

Browsing and the use of cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies

HeyHuman uses cookie technology as part of the Website’s statistical reporting and for other purposes related to making the Website available to you. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a website that is saved on your hard disk by your computer’s browser. It holds information a website may need to personalise your experience. We may also utilise cookies to identify if you are logged into a Website account. If you prefer, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. Each browser is different, so check the ‘Help’ menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie and privacy preferences.

These third-party websites, content and resources may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data, or solicit and use your Personal data in ways different than set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Security

How we protect the security of your Personal data

HeyHuman will take reasonable steps to protect the security and integrity of all Personal data provided to this Website. However, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system, or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers. We will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorised acts of third parties during or after transmission.
