PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy sets out how habofficial.com (“we”) treat the privacy of customers, users of our online services, website, applications and other services (“Services”), and others with whom we interact.

We respect the privacy rights of individuals.  This policy details how we collect, store and use personal information. 

1. Collection and Storage of Personal Information and Data

(iv) when you ask to be included on marketing distribution lists, become a member of our loyalty programs or interact with our social media services; 

(v) when you provide us with information about an intended third party recipient of goods (e.g. when you purchase a gift for someone else and provide us with their name and address);
