Privacy Policy
HappyWater and our subsidiaries and affiliates (or “we”) respect your preferences concerning the collection and use of your personal data. Our goal is to deliver content targeted to the industry you work in, the products you use, the role you play in your organization, and your specific preferences. In order to provide you with relevant information, fulfil your specific requests, and enhance your experience across our Web site, we will at times request personal information from you. The information collected and how it is used will vary across the site. This policy is our way of letting you know how we collect information, what we collect it for, and what choices you may have.
HappyWater also provides links to non-HappyWater sites we believe may be of interest to you. These sites are provided as a convenience and are beyond our control. You are advised to check the privacy policies of those sites before providing your personal information to them.
To learn more about HappyWater’s privacy policy, review the sections below for information pertaining to:
- Types of Data Collection
- Data we Collect and how we Use it
- Customization, Preferences, and Opt-Out
- Account Access
- Advertising
- Security
- Policy Update
Note: www.happywater.my is the main gateway to HappyWater on the Web, containing the general privacy policy for www.happywater.my. Because we have tried to simplify your access to our privacy policy, this policy describes the potential use of visitor information throughout the happywater.my Web site. Parts of the site may make far less use of personal information than we have outlined in the policy, but we wanted to provide you with an inclusive statement of our practices.
1. Types of Data Collection:
HappyWater collects data from users in four main ways.
- Registration screens and online forms
- In the process of online sales inquiries
- In e-mails sent to HappyWater from users
- Through automated means such as communications protocols and cookies
HappyWater may receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself – the standard electronic greeting between your computer, the network, and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), date and time. At this time our server will also query your computer to see if there are “cookies” previously set by happywater.my to facilitate log-in or other site navigation procedures.
Some parts of the HappyWater site use cookies to collect information about the visitor’s use of the Web site and to facilitate return visits. The information collected from cookies is tracked to enhance security and to improve the functionality of the Web site by avoiding duplicate data entry, facilitating navigation, and increasing the relevance of content. Cookies on the site may collect the following information: a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown, and membership information to access HappyWater’s online tools. Some cookies used by happywater.my may remain on the user’s computer after they leave the Web site, but the majority is set to expire within 30 – 365 days.
Cookies also serve as a convenience to users by creating a more streamlined login process and preserving information between sessions. In the future, as we enable further customizations of the site, cookies will help in assuring that information provided to you will be the most relevant to your needs.
In order to provide maximum site utility, HappyWater also uses a tracking technique that uses embedded URLs to allow use of the site without cookies. Embedded URLs manifest themselves as plain text or encoded extensions to the URL that appears in the browser address or location toolbar. This technology allows limited information to follow you as you navigate the site, but is not identified to personal information and is not used beyond the session. While this increases your ability to surf the site, it does not replace the functionality or streamlining of cookies and may limit your use of many convenience features offered by the site.
To learn more about cookies and browser functionality relating to cookies please search for “cookies” in the help function of your browser.
In an effort to provide users with the most relevant Web site content and marketing materials, we may also use embedded pixel technologies to help track site usage and marketing campaign responsiveness. On the Web site, these technologies are used on selected pages for the purposes of identifying unique user visits as opposed to aggregate hits. The site usage information collected by these technologies is associated with cookies and may provide personally identifiable information about site use by registered users of www.happywater.my. This information is used to evaluate site content, navigability and composition as well as page response rates. When these technologies are used in e-mails, they provide information on when the e-mail was opened. In e-mails, these technologies are used to evaluate marketing campaign relevance to the user and to update marketing lists.
2. The data we collect and how we use it:
HappyWater collects information from users for the following purposes:
- To engage in transactions or communications. Name, address, e-mail and company information may be collected and stored as part of the transaction history. The majority of the information collected under this category is business contact information.
- To provide future service and support. Information collected for this purpose is both contact information and information related to products and service/support requested. This information is also used to provide service, product update, and similar notices.
- As a result of product download. Users who download products under trial licenses and purchasers of products will be contacted to confirm they did not experience problems in the download process and will also be alerted at the end of the license period. These communications are not subject to the general opt-out of marketing notices.
- To select content. Information may be collected to help create Web site content and navigation that is most relevant and user friendly. This includes information collected as a result of site navigation as well as information provided in forms.
- To respond to user inquiries and requests for information. This information includes registrations for newsletters and specific requests for further information.
- To better tailor marketing to user needs. We may use information from purchases and requirements to provide you with timely and pertinent notices of product releases and service developments that address your needs and requirements. Marketing notices are subject to the general opt-out elections.
- To better respond to requests for service or quotes for product.HappyWater will pass contact information to the appropriate HappyWater sales person, distributor, reseller, or consultant for follow-up related to your request.
- To power joint sales or product promotions. HappyWater and its partners may engage in joint events or provide bundled products. Such promotions will always reference the partners involved. Both HappyWater and the partner(s) will have access to that information. While we carefully choose our partners, privacy is a very subjective concern and we advise you to review the privacy policies of these partners.
- From referral/”tell a friend” function. If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. HappyWater will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. HappyWater stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program.
- As a result of your registration for/attendance at an HappyWater conference or event. Those existing customers or registered HappyWater.com users, that sign up for such a conference or event, may be contacted prior to the event to see if any meetings, special demonstrations or other customer facilitation may be provided. This contact is in addition to any contact that may be required to confirm payment or provide logistical information and updates related to the conference. Attendees of such events may also be contacted after the event to see if any further information is required or follow up is appropriate. This information will be used only by HappyWater or by designated partners and will not be released to other third parties. To help assure respect of your information we maintain central control of the information and require that use of the information by these partners is limited to that which is expressly relevant to your profile. Please consult the supplemental privacy statement on the specific conference site for more detailed information.
- As a result of your participation in interactive discussions and public forums. There are parts of the Web site that permit users to participate in interactive discussions. Some of these are moderated; all are subject to access for technical reasons. HappyWater does not control the content that users post and some may serve as public discussion forum. As in all interactive forum open to many users, you should carefully consider whether you wish to submit personally identifiable information.
- As a result of your use of hosted applications/services. Some HappyWater customers may enter information on their employees, vendors, or customers using various hosted services including TellAll.Com that we host and for which we provide application and systems management. As a result of this hosted systems relationship, HappyWater may process some of this information, but does not control the information collection or use practices related to this information. HappyWater merely provides the relevant hosting or application management and support services related to storage of the information. HappyWater makes no independent use of the information outside of what is needed to provide the hosting service, applications management, and support or to complete specific actions requested by the customer.
- To address performance and fix issues. On occasion, patches and other fixes to software, such as security patches addressing newly discovered vulnerabilities, are developed by HappyWater. We may communicate the availability of these patches or fixes to registered owners of software and parties who have identified themselves to us as users or developers. These communications will not contain marketing messages and will not be subject to general opt-out elections, due to the potential importance of these patches and fixes.
- As a result of legal requirements. HappyWater may be required to provide personally identifiable information to comply with legally mandated reporting, disclosure or other legal process requirements.
