1. Website Visitors
Like most website operators, HiveMind Press collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Hivemind Press's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how HiveMind Press's visitors use its website. From time to time, Hivemind Press may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you, which we have grouped together as follows:
- Identity Data: Includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, and title.
- Contact Data: Includes billing address, delivery address, email address, and telephone numbers.
- Financial Data: Includes bank account and payment card details.

HiveMind Press also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://hivemindpress.com blog posts. Hivemind Press only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
2. Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Hivemind Press's websites choose to interact with Hivemind Press in ways that require Hivemind Press to gather personally-identifying information.

For example, we ask visitors who leave a comment at https://hivemindpress.com to provide a username and email address.
We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- To register you as a new customer.

3. Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
