Politique de confidentialité - Anglais
Effective Date: October 25th, 2020
It is our goal to provide you with much-needed control over the content
and personal information you share online and the manner in which you
host and share it. Our Privacy Policy (“Policy”) highlights this
commitment.
Hibe enables you to interact and share Private and Public Content
using various communications tools and applications. By submitting personal information to us, and/or by using the Hibe
Platform, you agree that we may collect, use and disclose such personal
information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and as permitted or
required by law.
Undefined capitalized terms refer to the meaning described in Hibe’s Terms of Service.
Collected Information
Hibe collects a minimum of information ("Collected Information") to offer its Services, including:
- Information you provide
- "Cookie" information
- Information automatically collected
Information you provide
When you use Hibe, you may enter information, pictures, and other
content that may or may not identify you. This information is
collected, stored, transferred, processed and/or used by us to provide
you with the service you requested and to develop a better platform.
You may have public and private content on Hibe, such as content
contributed through the applications you use. Your public content is linked to
your Hibe account.
"Cookie" Information
When you visit and/or use Hibe through communication tools connected to the Hibe platform, we may store information to authenticate you on Hibe
and track system usage.
Automatically Collected Information
Our servers automatically collect and store certain information related
to your system, such as your IP address, your operating system, the
website from which you came, and your software version. We may also
collect and store data about your online activity on Hibe, such as feature use,
services used, content accessed, as well as the dates and times of your
visits.
We aggregate and/or anonymize this information to improve performance, monitor security and generate activity reports.
Children
Hibe is a platform for a general audience and it is not intended
to offer services to children. If we learn that we have collected
personal information from a child under age 13, we will only use that
information to respond directly to that child, seek parental consent or
provide parental notice.
Use of the Collected Information
We use the Collected Information to provide, operate, maintain, enhance, update Hibe and create new features.
We may use the Collected Information to communicate with you in
general, to send you various messages such as network and policy
updates, administrative notices or to notify you of new features added
to our Services, or to respond to your questions.
We may use the Collected Information to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities and to enforce our Terms of Use.
We may use third parties such as credit card processing companies to
bill you for services. In this case, we may request your Billing
Information and share such information with third parties as is
necessary to complete your purchase transaction. We do not store your
payment card information. We only store a reference to your payment
card, and use such a reference to process transactions for the
additional Services you purchase. Although we are not responsible for
the safety and security of your Billing Information that is shared with
third parties such as credit card processing companies, we use
reasonable efforts to deal only with third parties we believe to be
reputable and reasonably secure and disclose only such Billing
Information as we believe reasonably necessary to complete the billing
process.
With Whom We Share Collected Information
We
DO NOT and
WILL NOT
rent, sell or share, directly or indirectly, your
Private Content
with other organizations for other reasons than those indicated.
There may be circumstances where the use or disclosure of Collected
Information may be justified or permitted, or where we may be obligated
to disclose information without consent. In these circumstances, we
will attempt to contact you, if permitted by law, via the e-mail
address you provided during registration, before the use or disclosure
of Collected Information.
Such circumstances may include:
- If required to comply with a subpoena, warrant or order made by a
body with jurisdiction to compel the production of information, or to
comply with the rules or court relating to the production of records.
- To a person who needs the information because of an emergency
that threatens the life, health, or security of an identifiable person
or group.
Public content is available to all users. Public content means that
anyone, including off platform users, may access, index and use the
content.
Information Collected by Third Parties
The control is yours
Hibe provides you with the ability to control how you share your
information. We advise that you undertake the necessary precautions
when you provide online information to other users.
On Hibe, you connect and share with others based on Hibe’s
Contextual Privacy approach. In this approach, you create an audience
representing the boundary of your interactions with others, you
select content to be shared within this audience, and you select
people that will be allowed to access, contribute and interact with the
shared content within such an environment.
Content you contribute within a public context is referred to as your
Public Content. Content you contribute within a private context is
referred to as your Private Content.
We cannot control how others may share the information you disclose or
share, and we assume no responsibility in that regard. You are solely
responsible for any abusive, undesired or illegal use that might occur
with respect to the disclosed or shared information.
We integrate video features that connect to sites.
When using such features, some limited and required Collected
Information may be transmitted. Please note that transmitted
information becomes subject to the YouTube agreement and privacy policy.
Control Over Your Information
Information that you provide
To use Hibe, you must provide a valid email address and a

that you provide using the various functions of the Hibe Platform.
We recommend that you learn how to use Hibe to gain a greater understanding of how you share and control your information.
Deletion
Deleted information is removed completely from the platform unless we
believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding suspected illegal activities or fraud, situations involving
the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms, or as
otherwise required by applicable law.
At any time, you can close your account. By doing so, we

External Links
If any part of the Hibe Platform links you to other sites, these sites
do not operate under this Privacy Policy. We recommend you examine the
privacy statements posted on those other websites to understand their
procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.
Revision and Update of the Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically and this will be
reflected by a "last modified" date below. You will be notified of each
major revision through your registration email address.
Privacy Policy changes will apply to the information collected from the
date we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Hibe Platform, as well
as to existing information held by us.
If we decide to change this Policy in a material way, we will obtain
the necessary consent required under applicable privacy laws if we seek
to collect, use or disclose Personal Information for purposes other
than those to which consent has been obtained, unless otherwise
required or permitted by law. If any proposed change is unacceptable to
you, you may close your account as provided in the Terms of Service and
