Hapacus created this Privacy Policy to give you confidence as you visit and use the Websites, and to demonstrate its commitment to fair information practices and to the protection of privacy.

This Privacy Policy is only applicable to the Websites and not to any Third-Party websites, which may have data collection, storage and use practices and policies that differ materially from this Privacy Policy. For additional information, see the section concerning Third-Party Websites, below.

BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THE TERMS OF, THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE WEBSITE.

I. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Hapacus is committed to the safety of our children.  Persons under the age of 18 may not enroll as Hapacus Advocates.  Children under the age of 13 may not purchase products through any of our Websites or register as Participants.  Hapacus does not solicit or knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If Hapacus obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, Hapacus will immediately delete such information from its database. Because Hapacus does not collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13, Hapacus has no such information to use or disclose to third parties. Hapacus has designed this Privacy Policy in order to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Act (COPA).

II. INFORMATION COLLECTION

Hapacus is the sole owner of the Website.  We collect information from Independent Advocates (“Advocates”), customers and visitors to the websites at different points on the websites.

A. Traffic Data.  Like most website operators, Hapacus automatically gathers information of the sort that browsers automatically make available, including: (i) IP addresses; (ii) domain servers; (iii) types of devices accessing the Website; and (iv) types of Web browsers accessing the Website (collectively "Traffic Data"). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify you.

B.  Cookies.  A “Cookie” is a string of information that a website stores on a user's computer, and that the user's browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. The purpose of a Cookie is to identify the user as a unique user of the Website.  Hapacus uses Cookies to customize your experience on the Website to your interests, to ensure that you do not see the same informational messages repeatedly, and to store your username so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Website. For additional information on Hapacus's uses of Cookies, see the section concerning Information Use and Disclosure Practices/Traffic Data and Information Gathered Using Cookies, below.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE COOKIES PLACED ON YOUR COMPUTER, YOU SHOULD SET YOUR BROWSERS TO REFUSE COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN OF THE SERVICES AND CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF COOKIES. IF YOU REFUSE COOKIES, YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.

C. Personal Information.  Through your use of or visits to our websites, you may be required or requested to provide personally identifiable information (hereafter “Personal Information”) to us.  Personal Information is any piece of information which can potentially be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person.  Such information includes, without limitation: (1) "Contact Data" (such as your name, mailing address and e-mail address); (2) "Demographic Data" (such as your age, gender, profession, education level, relationship status, religious affiliation, country, state, city and likes and dislikes,); and (3) "Financial Data" (such as your credit/debit card number and expiration date). In each case, you will be asked to provide Personal Information; the Website will not gather it surreptitiously. Hapacus may supplement the Personal Information you provide with additional personal information gathered from public sources or from third-parties (e.g., consumer reporting agencies) who may lawfully provide such information to Hapacus. You are under no obligation to provide Personal Information, with the caveat that your refusal to do so may prevent you from using certain of the features and services available on the Website.

D. Advocate and Customer Registration.  In order to become an Advocate, an applicant must provide Personal Information to us.  We also may require an applicant’s Social Security Number or Federal Tax ID Number so that we may prepare and file necessary non-employee compensation forms for the IRS.  Certain Participants may be required to register in order to purchase products and sign up for classes directly from us (“Registered Participants”).  Registered Participants will be required to provide Personal Information. We use this information to maintain contact with Advocates and Registered Participants, and to process Advocate and Registered Participant orders.

E.  Product or Service Purchases.  When a potential Participant, or Advocate purchases products or services from us through any of our websites, the purchaser must provide us with Personal Information.  This information is used for billing and payment purposes and to fill orders. 

F.  Information that you make Public.  The Website may contain features (e.g. public profiles, forums, and message boards) that permit you to upload, post, transmit, display, perform or distribute content, information or other material, including some of your Personal Information. Any information that you choose to disclose by means of such features becomes public information over which Hapacus is unable to exercise control.  You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your Personal Information by means of such features, and you agree to assume all responsibility for doing so.

III. INFORMATION USE AND DISCLOSURE PRACTICES

A. Traffic Data and Information Gathered Using Cookies.  Hapacus analyzes Traffic Data and information gathered using Cookies to help Hapacus better understand who is using the Website and how they are using it. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, Hapacus is able to better design the Website to improve your experience, and to serve you more relevant and interesting content. From time to time, Hapacus may release Traffic Data and information gathered using Cookies in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Website. Hapacus does not attempt to link information gathered using Cookies to Personal Information.
