The legal basis by which we process your personal data

Our processing of your personal data for the purposes mentioned above is based:

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

H&H Advisors will not intentionally disclose or transfer (and will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized or accidental disclosure of) your personal data to third parties without your consent or as otherwise permitted by law, whether for such third parties’ own marketing purposes or otherwise, except as follows. H&H Advisors may provide access to your personal data to third party service providers engaged by H&H Advisors to provide services related to the website as well as related to H&H Advisors’s business activities, including in connection with some client services, in the manner agreed upon in our client services agreements. We maintain processes designed to ensure that any processing of personal data by third party service providers is consistent with this privacy policy and protects the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your personal data.

We also may share your personal data with third party service providers who perform services and functions on our behalf to support our interactions with you, including, for example, processing and administering surveys or contests, or communicating with you.

In addition, we may disclose information about you:

Links to third party websites

H&H Advisors may provide links to third party websites or information as a service to our users. If you use these links, you will leave the website. Such links do not constitute or imply an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by H&H Advisors of the third party, the third party website, or the information contained therein, and H&H Advisors shall not be responsible or liable for your use thereof. Such use shall be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies applicable to those website.

Only authorized H&H Advisors personnel and third party service providers are provided access to personal data, and these employees and service providers are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions however, H&H Advisors cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personal data.

Data retention

H&H Advisors retains personal data, as necessary, for the duration of the relevant business relationship.

We may also retain personal data for longer than the duration of the business relationship should we need to retain it to protect ourselves against legal claims, use it for analysis or historical record-keeping, or comply with our information management policies and schedules. If you request that we delete your personal data, H&H Advisors will make reasonable attempts to delete all instances of the information in their entirety.

Your rights

Where granted by applicable law, you may have the right to request access to the personal data that we have collected about you for the purposes of reviewing, modifying, or requesting deletion of the data. You may also have the right to request a copy of the personal data that we have collected about you and to have any inaccuracies in that data corrected. In certain circumstances, you may also request that we cease processing your personal data. To help protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as requiring a password and user ID, before granting access to your personal data. We will make reasonable attempts to promptly investigate, comply with, or otherwise respond to your requests as may be required by applicable law. Different laws may prevent us from providing access to your personal data or otherwise fully complying with your request depending upon the circumstances and the request, such as for example, where producing your information may reveal the identity of someone else. We reserve the right to charge an appropriate fee for complying with your request where allowed by applicable law, and/or deny your requests where they may be manifestly unfounded, and/or excessive, or otherwise objectionable or unwarranted under applicable law.

In addition, and where granted by local law, you have the legal right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.
