Information Sharing and Disclosure

  • Higgs Communications does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
    • We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Higgs Communications under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Higgs Communications communicate with you about offers from Higgs Communications and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
    • We have a parent's permission to share the information if the user is a child under age 13. Parents have the option of allowing Higgs Communications to collect and use their child's information without consenting to Higgs Communications sharing of this information with people and companies who may use this information for their own purposes;
    • We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;
    • We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Higgs Communications's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
    • We transfer information about you if Higgs Communications is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Higgs Communications will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. [This isn't going to happen but we have to put it in here]
  • Higgs Communications displays targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click on targeted ads meet the targeting criteria - for example, women ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.
    • Higgs Communications does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.

  • Higgs Communications works with vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service providers in different industries and categories of business.
