from any other source may be different than the policies expressed here. By visiting
www.hughesenv.com and its related web pages (the “Site”), you are accepting
the practices in this Privacy Policy.
How do we collect information?
Information may be automatically received when you visit our Site regardless of
any direct communication you may have initiated. Such information includes the name
of the domain from which you access the Internet; the Internet protocol (IP) address
of the computer you are using; the browser software you use and your operating system;
the date and time you access our Site; the geographic location from which you access
our Site; and the Internet address (URL) of the web site from which you linked directly
to our Site. We use this information to monitor and analyze the usage of our Site
for marketing and other purposes. Also, the information we capture provides us with
the ability to enhance our customers’ browsing experiences and to determine aggregate
information about our user base and usage patterns.
We may also collect information which you provide to us through email or other entries
you make on the Site. You may give us general identity information about yourself
(e.g., your name, company name, business address, business telephone number, business
email address) and more detailed information for specific purposes (e.g., special
interests in products or industries, your job responsibilities, etc.). Such information
may be used by us to assist in providing goods and services to you, as well as for
our internal purposes and for marketing purposes. Information you provide to Hughes
via the Site may be distributed to sales, marketing or other appropriate Hughes personnel,
and a copy is kept on file in Hughes’ main office.
Do we use electronic mechanisms such as “cookies”?
“Cookies” are small files placed on your hard drive that assist many companies in
providing their services. “Cookies” deliver customized visitor experiences and are
used to analyze website user metrics. At this time, Hughes does not use data collection
devices such as “cookies,” but could in the future.
What about children?
Children are not eligible to use this Site unsupervised and we ask that children
do not submit any personal information to us. If you are under the age of 18, you
may only use this Site in conjunction with, and under the supervision of, your parents
or guardians.
How do we safeguard personal information?
We will strive to ensure that your personal information is adequately protected
wherever it may be processed. Files are stored in a physically and electronically

we will disclose personal information when required or permitted by law or for purposes
relevant to our corporate policies.
Hughes reserves the right to perform statistical analysis of its customers in the aggregate.
This means the personal information you provide, along with other customers, may

business. Hughes reserves the right to contact you via email, phone, fax, mail or other
means to: inform you of new information and changes to the Site; to promote its
