How we collect and use (process) your personal information

Halcyon collects personal information about its website visitors and customers. With a few exceptions, this information is generally limited to:

Name
Job title
Employer name
Work address
Work email
Financial documents (tax returns, P&L statements, balance sheets)

We use this information to provide prospects and customers with services.

We do not sell personal information to anyone and only share it with third parties who are facilitating the delivery of our services.

From time to time, Halcyon receives personal information about individuals from third parties. Typically, information collected from third parties will include further details on your employer or industry. We may also collect your personal data from a third party website (e.g. LinkedIn)

Use of the Halcyon Website

As is true of most other websites, Halcyon's website collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of Halcyon's website, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users' needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences.

Halcyon has a legitimate interest in understanding how members, customers and potential customers use its website. This assists Halcyon with providing more relevant products and services, with communicating value to our sponsors and corporate members, and with providing appropriate staffing to meet member and customer needs.

Cookies and tracking technologies

Halcyon uses PostHog analytics on our website. We use cookies and tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, to show you personalized content, to analyze site usage, and to assist in our marketing efforts.

Use of the Halcyon services

When using our services, we collect additional information necessary to provide our business intelligence platform, including financial documents that you provide to us.

Sharing information with third parties

The personal information Halcyon collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United States. These third parties do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval.

We do not otherwise reveal your personal data to non-Halcyon persons or businesses for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, compelled by law enforcement to comply with a search warrant, subpoena, or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (3) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; (4) to address emergencies or acts of God; or (5) to address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf. We may also gather aggregated data about our services and website visitors and disclose the results of such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to our partners, service providers, advertisers, and/or other third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

The Halcyon website connects with third party services such as Google and others. If you choose to share information from the Halcyon website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a third party service, the aforementioned connections may allow that service to connect your visit to our site to your personal data.

Data Subject rights

As a US-based company serving customers within the United States, we comply with applicable US privacy laws. These laws may provide certain rights for data subjects, including:

Right to access and review personal information we have collected
Right to request correction of inaccurate information
Right to request deletion of your information (subject to certain exceptions)

This Privacy Notice is intended to provide you with information about what personal data Halcyon collects about you and how it is used.

You may also request information about: the purpose of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; who else outside Halcyon might have received the data from Halcyon; what the source of the information was (if you didn't provide it directly to Halcyon); and how long it will be stored. You have a right to correct (rectify) the record of your personal data maintained by Halcyon if it is inaccurate. You may request that Halcyon erase that data or cease processing it, subject to certain exceptions. You may also request that Halcyon cease using your data for direct marketing purposes.

Reasonable access to your personal data will be provided at no cost. If access cannot be provided within a reasonable time frame, Halcyon will provide you with a date when the information will be provided. If for some reason access is denied, Halcyon will provide an explanation as to why access has been denied.

Data storage and retention

Your personal data is stored by Halcyon on its servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services Halcyon engages, located in the United States.
