Privacy Policy
Personal Information Voluntarily Supplied
Personal contact information (name, address, phone number, email address, social media usernames, etc.) may be required when you request information, complete a survey, subscribe to our blog, request a white paper, or interact with Hiebing using social media. Hiebing collects voluntarily supplied personal information to contact visitors who request information in some capacity. This information is kept indefinitely so that Hiebing can contact the visitor with relevant information unless the visitor requests to have that information deleted.
Hiebing will remove a visitor’s voluntarily supplied personal information upon the visitor’s request. Under no circumstances will Hiebing furnish or distribute personally identifying information to outside organizations, entities or companies without your consent. If you supply us with your postal and/or email address, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new services or upcoming events. If you have questions about your email subscription status, would like to verify that your personal data is removed from our mailing list or have other inquiries about your voluntarily supplied personal information, please contact us at ideas@hiebing.com.

- Any products or services you review
