HVS may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page periodically to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy applies to information we collect about the following individuals: visitors to our websites; people who use any of our services, subscribe to our newsletters, or request articles; applicants for jobs at HVS; and current and former employees. Security We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Website use We use a third-party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard Internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns. This information is anonymous; we do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. Cookies We use cookies to individualize your experience of our website. A cookie is a small file that asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added, and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. Links to other websites Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.

Users of our services HVS offers a number of expert services to our global customers. We hold details of all those who have requested our services in order to provide them. However, we only use these details to provide the professional service the person has requested and for other closely related purposes—for example, to offer a survey to find out if they are happy with the service they have received.
