Privacy Policy

Updated 06/07/21

We want to protect your privacy. In order to operate, our web sites and business operations may gather information about you with your consent. These terms explain how this may happen, what we do with any potentially personal information, and how you can get in contact should you have any concerns.

Information Collected

Hughes Domains, LLC - which owns and operates this site - collects your information when you register for the email list here or any services offered on this site or through third-party partners.

Personally Identifiable Information Collected

The personal information we ask for includes:

  • your name
  • your email

Even if you do not register with us, our sites collect and store certain information automatically using cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general location of a computer or device accessing the internet, browser type, operating system, page view history, and other usage information. You can read more about this in the Cookies and Web Beacons section below.

Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure

We monetize our web properties in a number of ways including advertising and affiliate links. If you purchase something through these affiliate links, you won’t pay any more, but it helps support the site and continued production of high-quality content.

Cookies & Web Beacons

Hughes Domains, LLC, its advertisers or analytics partners may send a cookie to your computer or use web beacons to gather statistical information. A cookie does not personally identify you. It is simply a way to know that a particular web browser was used to visit our sites. A web beacon does not personally identify you. It is simply a way to automatically send information about pages and content used to an analysis tool.

Cookies and web beacons allows us to understand things such as whether a particular web browser is spending much time on our sites, visiting several times per month and other types of analysis. If you never provide us with personally identifiable information, then your visits – despite us using cookies or web beacons – are anonymous. We don’t know the actual person linked with the cookie. It’s like having a library card but never having to provide your name, address or phone number to check out books. The books are checked out by someone using a particular library card number, but who owns that number isn’t known. If you do provide personally identifiable information, then potentially we could link that with your cookie, then gather the visits with web beacons and understand how you personally have acted when visiting our web site.

Advertisers may also use cookies and web beacons to ascertain how many times you’ve seen an advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information on our web sites. Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions shouldn’t cause a problem with our sites, should you so choose. If you do encounter a problem, please let us know.

What We Do with Your Personal Information

Hughes Domains, LLC has a legitimate business interest to keep its customers, audience, and contacts informed of our latest products, content, and services.

  • Send you information from our advertisers
  • Target advertising based on your interests

We keep your information safely and securely for as long as necessary or according to your instructions, and we review the data we hold at least once every two years.

When and How We Share Your Personal Information with Others

We need to provide your information to other companies in order to deliver the services you want from us, such as having an email list sent out and managing your email preferences, or to process your event order. In these cases, the information is used only for the specific service you wanted from us.

We may also aggregate information and disclose it to advertisers and other third parties for marketing, promotional, and other purposes. In these cases, we do NOT disclose any personally identifiable information as part of this. Use of your contact data by others is governed by the terms and conditions of their Privacy Policy.
