Cookies are small text files that are stored on users’ devices when they access the platform, and they may be used to remember users’ preferences, authenticate users, and analyze users’ behavior on the platform.

Users can manage their cookie preferences and opt-out of certain tracking technologies through their browser settings or by using third-party tools. You can find more information in our Cookie policy.

15. How do we handle your social logins? HSE allows users to log in to the platform using their social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. When users choose to log in with a social media account, HSE may collect information from the social media provider, such as the user’s name, email address, profile picture, and other information that the user has made publicly available. HSE may use this information to create and populate the user’s HSE profile, to authenticate the user’s identity, and to enable the user to connect and interact with other users on the platform. HSE may also use this information for other purposes as outlined in this privacy policy, such as to personalize content and advertising. Users can control the information that is shared with HSE when they log in with a social media account, by adjusting the privacy settings of their social media account or by deactivating the social media login feature on HSE.”

The length of time that HSE retains users’ information may depend on various factors, such as the type of information, the purposes for which the information was collected, and the nature of the relationship between HSE and the user. When HSE no longer needs users’ information, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.

HSE uses reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect users’ information from unauthorized access, disclosure, and use. These security measures include, but are not limited to, firewalls, encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no security measures can guarantee absolute security, and users should take their own precautions to protect their information, such as choosing a strong password and keeping it confidential. In the event of a data breach, HSE will promptly notify affected users and take all necessary steps to mitigate the impact of the breach.
