4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies to help customize the Site and improve your experience.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the Site remember your actions and preferences. We may use the following categories of cookies:

1. Strictly necessary cookies (required to operate the Site)
2. Performance/analytics cookies (to understand how the Site is used)
3. Functional cookies (to remember your preferences)
4. Advertising/remarketing cookies, if applicable

We may partner with selected third-party vendors (for example, analytics or marketing partners) to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Site through the use of first-party and third-party cookies. These tools help us analyze usage, determine the popularity of content, and better understand online activity.

By using the Site, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Privacy Policy and in any cookie banner or notice presented to you. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where applicable, through our cookie preference tools. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.

We do not provide personal information such as your name or contact details to advertisers when you interact with or view a customized advertisement, although advertisers may infer interests based on your browser’s behavior.

5. Website Analytics

We may use third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to help us understand how users engage with the Site. These providers may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Site and other websites over time.

You are encouraged to review the privacy policies of our analytics and advertising partners and contact them directly with questions. If you do not want information to be collected by these technologies, you can:

1. Adjust your browser settings to refuse or limit cookies
2. Use any opt-out tools provided in our cookie banner or preference center (if available)
3. Use opt-out tools such as those offered by the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance

Changes such as using a new device or browser, or clearing your cookies, may reset your preferences and require you to opt out again.

6. Third-Party Websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not owned or controlled by Horizon. Any information you provide to third parties is not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we are not responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices of those third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies and practices of any third-party websites or services before providing them with your information.

7. Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include secure servers, encryption, firewalls, access controls, and limiting access to personal data to personnel who need it to perform their job functions.

However, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against interception or misuse. Any information disclosed online may be vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. In determining retention periods, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and applicable legal requirements.

We may retain certain transaction records, contractual documents, and compliance-related data for longer periods as required for accounting, audit, and legal obligations.

9. Your Choices and Rights

9.1 Marketing Communications

If you no longer wish to receive marketing emails or newsletters from us, you may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us at info@horizontechnology.com. Even after you opt out of marketing, we may still send you non-promotional messages related to your account, orders, or ongoing business relationships.

If you no longer wish to receive communications from third parties, you must contact those third parties directly.

9.2 Do-Not-Track Signals

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature. Because no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized, we do not currently respond to DNT signals. If a standard is adopted in the future that we are required to follow, we will describe that practice in an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

9.3 Rights for California Residents (CPRA/CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including:

1. Right to know the categories of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and, if applicable, share or sell
2. Right to access specific pieces of personal information we hold about you
3. Right to request deletion of personal information, subject to certain exceptions
4. Right to correct inaccurate personal information
5. Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (if we engage in such activities)
6. Right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (if applicable)
7. Right to be free from discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details in the “Contact Us” section below and indicate that you are a California resident making a “privacy rights request.” We will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request, which may include confirming information we already have on file.

We do not sell personal information as that term is traditionally understood; if our data practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and any required “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” links or mechanisms.

9.4 Shine the Light

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (“Shine the Light”) permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us using the information below and include “Shine the Light Request” in your communication.

If you are under 18, reside in California, and have a registered account on the Site, you may request removal of certain content you have publicly posted by contacting us as described below. We will take reasonable steps to remove such content from public view, but we cannot guarantee complete removal from all systems and backups.

9.5 Rights for Other Jurisdictions

Depending on your location, you may have similar rights under local data protection laws (for example, GDPR in the EU/UK). These may include rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.

10. International Data Transfers

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Where required by law, we will implement appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your information.
