Privacy

HIVO IO Technologies Ltd., company no. 517268264 ("HIVO", "we", "us" or "our"), respects the privacy of visitors to our website and of people who contact us through it.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise handle personal information in connection with the public HIVO website, website analytics, inquiries submitted through the website and related communications.

This Policy is intended for the public website. HIVO's enterprise services may be governed by separate commercial agreements and privacy or data-processing terms, where applicable.

1. Information you provide to us

When you contact us through the website, we may collect the information you choose to provide, including your name, company, role, work email address, the content of your message, and your marketing preference if you choose to opt in to receive HIVO news and insights.

Providing this information is voluntary. If you do not provide the information marked as required in the Contact form, we may be unable to respond to or handle your inquiry.

Please avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in the free-text message field.

2. Information processed when you use the website

When you visit the website, standard technical information associated with website requests may be processed by our hosting and infrastructure providers as part of delivering the website and maintaining its security.

We may also use analytics technologies to understand how the website is used and to improve its content, performance and user experience.

The website does not require a public user account to browse its corporate content.

3. How we use information

We may use personal information collected through the website to:

• operate, maintain, secure and troubleshoot the website
• respond to inquiries and communicate with you about your request
• follow up regarding HIVO services that are relevant to an inquiry you submitted
• understand website usage and improve our website, content and performance
• maintain business and security records
• comply with applicable law, legal process or lawful requests; and
• send HIVO news, insights and other marketing communications where you have separately chosen to receive them or where another lawful basis for such communication applies.

We do not treat the submission of a Contact inquiry, by itself, as a blanket consent to receive unrelated future marketing communications.

4. Contact inquiries

Information submitted through the Contact form is used primarily to review and respond to your inquiry and, where relevant, to conduct reasonable follow-up regarding HIVO and its services.

HIVO IO Technologies Ltd. is the entity responsible for determining the purposes for which information submitted through the website is processed.

Information submitted through the Contact form may be stored in systems used by HIVO to operate the website and manage business inquiries, and may be processed by service providers supporting those operations.

5. Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and website operation.

Analytics measurement is activated only after you choose to accept analytics through the website's cookie notice. Before you accept, and if you choose to reject, analytics measurement is not activated and analytics cookies are not set. You may change your choice at any time through the Cookie settings link on the website.

If you accept, analytics cookies may be placed to support website analytics.

We do not maintain a separate Cookie Policy; relevant information about website cookies and analytics is provided in this Privacy Policy.

The technologies used on the website may change over time. We will update this Policy where a change materially affects how personal information is handled.

6. Marketing communications

The Contact form offers a separate, optional choice to receive HIVO news and insights. This choice is not required in order to submit an inquiry.

If you opt in, we may use your contact details to send relevant HIVO news, insights and marketing communications. You may withdraw from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe method included in the communication or by contacting us at office@hi-vo.io.

Withdrawing from marketing communications does not prevent us from responding to an inquiry you submitted or sending communications that are necessary in connection with an existing business relationship.

7. Service providers and recipients

We use service providers and technical systems to operate the website and handle inquiries. Depending on the activity, personal information may be processed by providers that support functions such as website hosting and content delivery, database and cloud infrastructure, analytics, lead and inquiry management, and security and technical operations.

We may also disclose information if required by law, court order or a lawful request from a competent authority, or where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, systems or users.

8. Processing outside Israel

Some of the service providers and infrastructure used to operate the website may process or store information outside Israel. Where personal information is transferred or made accessible outside Israel, HIVO intends to handle such transfers in accordance with applicable Israeli privacy requirements.

9. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including handling inquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, meeting legal or regulatory requirements, resolving disputes and protecting our rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected.

10. Information security

HIVO uses reasonable administrative, organizational and technical measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or loss.

No website, network or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

11. Your rights

Under applicable Israeli law, you have the right to request access to personal information about you held in a database and to request correction of information that is inaccurate, incomplete, unclear or not up to date, subject to applicable legal conditions and procedures.

To submit a privacy request, contact us at office@hi-vo.io. We may need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.

12. External links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and HIVO is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties that we do not control.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, our practices or applicable requirements. The updated version will be posted on the website with an updated revision date.
