Our Privacy Policy and Commitment
We know how much you value your privacy, so we make sure that your privacy is protected the best as we can when you’re using HSC Revision products. While we do need you to give us some personal information so we can process your orders and requests, we want you to know exactly what information we need, why we need it, and how we make sure that your information is protected. This Privacy Policy applies to all the publicly accessible pages on this site located at hscrevision.com.

Why do we collect information?
As is true of most websites, we collect non-personal information of the type that typical web browsers and servers make available. This information is used to better understand how patrons use our website and provide you with the best possible experience and service. For example, we can use the information to:
- Make our website easier for you to use
- Help you find what you’re looking for, quickly and easily
- Create articles and other content that you’ll enjoy
- Let you know about new promotions, products and other information
In each case, we collect such information only as necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the user’s interaction with us. Users can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
We may also use information about you for the purposes listed below:
- To provide our Services. For example, to set up and maintain your account, process payments and orders, and verify user information.
- To ensure quality, maintain safety, and improve our Services. For example, by monitoring and analysing how users interact with our Services so we can create new features that we think our users will enjoy or make our Services easier to use.
- To place and manage ads in our advertising program. For example, to place ads on our sites as part of our advertising program, and understand advertisement performance.
- To protect our Services, our users, and the public. For example, by detecting security incidents; detecting and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; fighting spam; complying with our legal obligations; and protecting the rights and property of HSC Revision and others, which may result in us, for example, declining a transaction or terminating Services.
- To fix problems with our Services. For example, by monitoring, debugging, repairing, and preventing issues.
- To communicate with you. For example, by emailing you your feedback from the queries generated via the Contact Us form.

Contact forms
Certain users or visitors choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who contact us to provide their names and email address. When users leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our website.

You can tell if you are using a secure server by looking for a closed padlock sign at the left side of the URL address bar of your browser window. In internet browsers, you will see a lock icon. When the symbol is unbroken or the padlock appears to be in its closed state, the page is encrypted and therefore secure. If you wish to take advantage of the latest encryption standards, be sure you have the latest version of the browser you’re using.
