Introduction
The operator of this site HJM Precision, Inc. (collectively “COMPANY,” “us” or “we” as appropriate) are committed to safeguarding the privacy of visitors to our web sites and all pages operated by COMPANY accessed directly or indirectly by links contained within the site (collectively, the “Site”). This privacy statement explains data collection and use practices of the Site and in connection with services accessed through the Site (the “Service(s)”).
1. Important Terms Used Throughout This Privacy Policy
Throughout the COMPANY Privacy Policy we use several specialized terms. “Personally Identifiable Information” is information that tells us specifically who you are, like your name, street address, email address, billing address, credit card number, title and company or organization name or phone number. “User Information” means all Personally Identifiable Information and any other forms of information discussed in the COMPANY Privacy Policy, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address of a user�s computer. Information is said to be “anonymous” if it does not identify individual persons or entities or associate a particular person or entity with such information. We use the term “aggregate” when we combine information concerning various persons or users to make it anonymous. Once data has been made anonymous, it is not Personally Identifiable Information.
2. What Information We May Collect and How We May Use Information Collected
Anonymous Information
If you visit the Site to browse, we may collect and store anonymous site-visitation data, such as the domain name and host from which you accessed the Internet (e.g., aol.com), the IP address of your computer, your browser software and operating system, the date and time you accessed the Site and the Internet address of any web site from which you are linked directly to our site or to which you link after visiting the Site. We may use this information for website management, research and marketing functions, such as measuring the number of visitors to sections of our Site, to determine from where our visitors linked and to where our visitors link from the Site and to help us make our Site more useful. For example, we may organize and analyze IP addresses so that we can provide more efficient service, enhance security, monitor appropriate usage and produce traffic volume statistics. We may aggregate this information or correlate information obtained through separate transactions.
We may use or share with third parties aggregated or other anonymous information relating to activity on the Site and use of the Services, such as demographical and statistical information, for marketing, research and other commercial purposes. We only share such information with third parties we believe will protect the information in accordance with the standards of this Privacy Policy.
Personally Identifiable Information
If you communicate with us, we may collect and store the Personally Identifiable Information you provide, including if applicable, your user ID and password, which we may elect to provide for you. If you communicate with us to engage in a transaction such as receiving information about Company products and services, ordering e-mail newsletters, signing up for an event or training, or when purchasing, downloading and/or registering Company products, then we also may collect and store information about the transaction. If you send us communications, we may collect such communications in a file specific to you.
We will not use Personally Identifiable Information except as described in this Privacy Policy. The Personally Identifiable Information collected on this Site may be used to operate the Site and to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to improve our products and services or to answer your questions. For example, we may use the information we collect from you as a registered user to build features that we hope will make the Services more attractive and easier for you to use. Possible uses of Personally Identifiable Information may include better customer support and timely notice of new products and services and may also include eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by customizing the Site to your particular preferences or interests.
We may aggregate your Personally Identifiable Information or otherwise make it anonymous. We may merge anonymous site-visitation data or demographic information with Personally Identifiable Information, and we may use this merged information to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of the Site, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your Personally Identifiable Information in order to provide you with personalized content.
When we communicate with you regarding a Product or Service you request, we may use Personally Identifiable Information to communicate with you via mail, email, phone or in any other way enabled by information you provide. We may also use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide you with information about the product or service that you are using, including critical updates and notifications. Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information about other Company products and services, and/or share information with Company partners so they may send you information about their products and services.
When you sign up for a newsletter or agree to receive promotional e-mail, we may use customized links or similar technologies to track e-mail links that you click. We may associate that information with your Personally Identifiable Information in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or purchase information.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that our Site can send to your browser for storage on your hard drive. Cookies can make your use of our Site easier by saving your status and preferences upon visits to our Site. We may use cookies for two purposes: (1) to enable the Site to customize some of its information for your convenience, such as “remembering” the language you selected; and (2) in some instances, to associate you with your Personally Identifiable Information. For example, through the use of cookies we may provide a service so that you can login automatically without the need to type a user name or password. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to logon to the Site or fully use all features of the Site or other Web sites you visit.
Web Beacons
The Site may contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes called single-pixel gifs – that allow us to count users who have visited certain web pages and to deliver co-branded services. COMPANY may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views. COMPANY prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your Personally Identifiable Information.
Public Forums
Information posted to newsgroups, chats, or other public forums may be made available to other members of those forums and is therefore considered by us to be public information to which this privacy policy does not apply. You should be cautious about posting a real e-mail address or other personally identifiable information to newsgroups, chats, or other public forums.
3. Your Choice To Opt Out
If you do not want to provide us with certain Personally Identifiable Information, you may opt out by not using the Service that provides us with such Personally Identifiable Information. For example, if you do not want us to retain your name, then you may choose not to become a registered user, not to send us a communication, or not to purchase products through the Site. You will not be entitled to the benefits of registration or a response to the communication, but you are still free to browse the Site.
If you enter your e-mail address into any field in the Site, we will interpret that action as your affirmative consent to receive e-mail messages from us and affiliated parties with whom we may share information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe link allowing you to request that we not send you further communications of that type.
Users who no longer wish to receive our notices or promotional materials may opt-out of receiving these communications by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication, or sending a letter to:

In some services offered by The Site, contact with the customer is an intrinsic part of the service.

Protection of Children’s Personally Identifiable Information
We do not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under the age of 13.

5. Onward Transfer of Information
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, Personally Identifiable Information you provide on the Site will not be shared outside of Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates without your permission. We may disclose anonymous information when consistent with our business standards.
Company occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as Web site hosting, packaging, answering customer questions about products and services, and sending information about our products, special offers, and other services. We will only provide those companies the Personally Identifiable Information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
We may share Personally Identifiable Information with our partners, affiliates and joint ventures that are committed to serving your need for the services and improving your user experience. We only share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties who have provided us with assurances that they will abide by the standards of this Privacy Policy. Furthermore, we may need to disclose Personally Identifiable Information to law enforcement or other government officials if appropriate for your protection or in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or our users to legal liability. Company may disclose Personally Identifiable Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Company or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Company; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Company employees or agents, users of Company products or services, or members of the public.
Personally Identifiable Information collected on the Site may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Company or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using the Site, you consent to any transfer of information outside of your country for storage and/or processing.
If COMPANY or any of its lines of business is sold, pledged or disposed of as a going concern whether by merger, sale of assets, bankruptcy or otherwise, then the user database of COMPANY could be sold as part of that transaction and all Personally Identifiable Information may be accessed by such successor or purchaser.
6. Security
Company is committed to protecting the security of your Personally Identifiable Information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your Personally Identifiable Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the Personally Identifiable Information you provide on computer servers that have limited access and are located in controlled facilities. Additionally, when we transmit a credit card number or similar financial information over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
7. Accessing, Correcting, Updating and Deleting Your Personally Identifiable Information
Upon your request, we will use reasonable efforts to remove your Personally Identifiable Information from our active databases and correct any errors you identify in such information. If Personally Identifiable Information is removed, you will lose access to the parts of the Site for which you must provide such Personally Identifiable Information to gain access. After removal, we will only retain copies of such information as are necessary for us to comply with governmental orders, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, enforce any agreement you have entered into through our Site and as otherwise reasonably necessary. Any Personally Identifiable Information provided as a part of a transaction on the Site represents a record of that business transaction that cannot be altered after the transaction is complete.
