Subscribers and Technicians, Etc.: In the normal operation of the Site Subscriber Service requests (including information entered by “Attendees” members) and invoices are disclosed to the applicable Technician, and Technician information is disclosed to the applicable Subscriber. In general, information you enter on the Site is available to the other persons – whether they are Technician, Subscribers, Attendees members or others – to whom you give access to your account or to whom you give access to the information through the normal operation of the Site.

Payment Information: We use credit card and other personally identifiable information (such as PayPal email addresses) you submit to us on the Site, and other information that we collect, as required, to process payments you make through the Site through our payment processor intermediaries. We do not store credit card or other payment method information unless the Subscriber choose to enter credit card information for use in recurring Charges; in all other cases our payment processors have the sole and complete responsibility for the storage of credit card and payment information. We may also share personally identifiable information with our payment processor intermediaries for risk management and fraud prevention.

Related third party products and services: From time to time, we may offer you opportunities to receive related products and services that integrate with, or complement, the services we offer via the Site. For example, you may have the opportunity to request financial products or services, including loans, from third parties. We will only share your information with such third parties if you choose to request their products or services (or to be assessed for eligibility to receive such products or services). If you do choose to request such products or services, we will provide your information to the relevant third party on your behalf, as required to provide the products or services you have requested. We do not control the use, storage, retention, processing, or disclosure of your information by such third parties, and this Privacy Policy will not apply to them. Your relationship with these third parties will generally be subject to their separate terms and conditions as well as privacy policies or statements, and we recommend that you carefully review these documents before requesting their products or services.

Anonymized Aggregated Data: We aggregate and anonymize service information including (but not limited to) appliance type, number of service requests, average repair cost, etc., and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to Subscribers. However, in these situations, we do not disclose any information that could be used to identify you personally.

To learn how the third party commenting application uses your information, please review their privacy policy.

Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Service Providers: We may from time to time engage affiliates, subsidiaries, unrelated third party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf or your behalf (e.g., without limitation, software maintenance services, advertising serving technologies, e-mail service providers, delivery services, database management, web hosting, web analytics, appliance service providers, and other services). This may involve the hosting of data, including personal information, on servers operated by those hosting companies.   These third parties may have access to your Personal Information. If they do, this access is provided so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are not authorized by us to otherwise use or disclose your Personal Information, except to the extent required by law. In other instances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties engaged to provide services on your behalf. For example, in the event you request that we dispatch a technician to repair equipment at your home, we may provide your home address, name, phone, etc. to the technician engaged to perform the necessary repairs.

Legal Requests and Business Transitions; Emergencies: In certain situations, HWISEL EV may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

In order to facilitate the services provided by the Site, the Site allows you in certain circumstances to give other Users limited access to the personal information of other persons.

By entering into our Terms of Use, you agree that, with respect to the personal information of other persons that you collect, use and disclose on the Site, you have all necessary consents and rights to collect, use and disclose that information as described in this Privacy Policy from time to time, and you agree that the indemnity you give to us in the Terms of Use applies to any non-compliance by you with the foregoing.

If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for your friend’s name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting him or her to visit the site. HWISEL EV stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and tracking the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at privacy@Hwisel.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

HWISEL EV strives to protect your personal information. For security of transactions, we use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts any information, such as credit card number and billing information, you send to us electronically. The encryption process protects your information, by scrambling it before it is sent to us from your computer. Once HWISEL EV receives your transmission, we make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our system. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. More information about security is available on the Site and in our Terms of Use. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at privacy@Hwisel.com.

Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties through the Site, whether they are Subscribers or Technician or otherwise, different rules may apply to their use, collection and disclosure of the personal information you disclose to them. Since we do not control the information use, collection or disclosure policies of third parties, you are subject to their privacy policies. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

Upon request HWISEL EV will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information. To review, delete and update your personal information to ensure it is accurate, you may login into your account to make the changes, or you may contact us at privacy@Hwisel.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

HWISEL EV is a complex business network that connects a large number of users. HWISEL EV manages a business eco system that brings together technicians, companies and customers. This network relies on the exchange and sharing of information that is important to others in your network. Tracked hours, sent invoices, paid invoices, contractor invoices are all vital to other people that work with you. These are the official history of work done and moneys paid.

The complexity and connected nature of the system requires that this history exists in perpetuity to accommodate proper function and accounting for the other systems that you have connected. HWISEL EV cannot guarantee the deletion of all your information.

When a customer chooses to close an account we will remove your information from our marketing and billing systems. This will ensure that there are not further mailings or billings directed towards the canceled user.

Notwithstanding the proceeding, information of a non-customer or appliance specific nature, appliance service history, etc. will not be deleted and remain the property of HWISEL EV.

As we continue to refine HWISEL EV we will establish a method for the complete removal of all user information from the system without breaking accepted accounting principles for other connected HWISEL EV accounts. This document will evolve as these new methods are defined and tested for permanent account deletion.

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Invitations: You have the opportunity to invite others through your HWISEL EV account. To do that, HWISEL EV asks you to import or to manually enter your contacts’ email addresses. As you direct, we then send them an invitation on your behalf or other notices reflecting changes you make to their status in your account.

If you click on a link to a third-party site, you will leave the HWISEL EV site and go to the site you selected. If you elect to use a third-party product or service in conjunction with HWISEL EV, you yourself enter into a license agreement with the third party for use of their product or service and their use of your data. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personal information by such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy practices as HWISEL EV. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any other service provider from whom you request services. If you visit a third party website that is linked to a HWISEL EV site, you should read that site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information.

With your consent we may post your testimonial along with your name. If you want your testimonial removed please contact us at privacy@Hwisel.com.

Following each completed service request, you will be asked to rate the technician or service and the service provider may be asked to rate their experience with you.  Ratings remain anonymous.
