2. What cookies are and how they are used

What are cookies? Cookies are used for setting a key on a user's browser that links him/her to the current state of their Web session. Their purpose is to let us know when you visit our site, where you visit in the site, and save preferences you set. Your browser can be set to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. If you choose not to accept cookies, you may not have access to certain functionality on our site. Site functionality requiring a login will utilize cookies. As a result, if you would like to visit the logged in portion of the hahlabs.com site, you will need to accept cookies.

We want to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any personal information about you. We know that a lot of people have concerns about cookies, but in talking with many of our users we feel that the benefit we both gain from their proper use is worthwhile. We value the relationships we have with our customers and future customers, so we respect these concerns.

H&H Technology also tracks IP addresses of Web sites from which you may visit www.hahlabs.com to analyze the data for trends and statistics reporting. In a few cases, specifically when you respond to e-mail marketing campaigns generated by third party vendors, your IP address may be associated with some of your user information when you browse www.hahlabs.com.

3. With whom your information may be shared

Service Providers
We sometimes hire companies (Service providers) to provide services on our behalf. Service providers may provide mailing and event registration information or technical support information to you. We will only provide such service providers the information they need to deliver the services and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

On occasion, H&H Technology uses Web site framing techniques, linking you to another service provider's Web site that retains the look and feel and navigation of www.hahlabs.com. This practice is used simply to aid you to easily navigate back to www.hahlabs.com. When framing occurs, the URL in your browser's toolbar will no longer display the www.hahlabs.com address, but the Web site address of the service provider in question.

Companies Offering Promotions
From time to time, a H&H Technology business partner may wish to offer promotions. H&H Technology and its partners may engage in events or provide bundled products. In those instances, we will share your information with that partner. Such promotions such as joint seminars and sales promotions, jointly developed products, and joint announcements will always reference the partners involved. Both H&H Technology and its partner(s) will have access to information submitted by users who have expressed interest in marketing promotions. While we carefully choose our partners, we do advise you to review the privacy policies of these partners as well. If you receive a communication from a H&H Technology partner and wish to opt out of any subsequent partner communications, please contact that partner directly.

Intermediaries
We may also share your information with intermediaries such as credit card companies or banks. Intermediaries serve solely as links in the distribution chain, and do not store, retain, or use the information other than to process a transaction.

Legal Obligations
We may disclose your personal information to another party, such as law enforcement officials, in order to comply with legal requirements, court orders, government or law enforcement agency requests, to protect or defend H&H Technology, or where we perceive an immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to someone as a result of activity on our Web sites. Our disclosures may occur under circumstances where we may not be authorized to advise you of such action.

4. How does H&H Technology use the personally identifiable information that has been collected?
