How Might Ltd (”How Might”) takes your privacy very seriously and this Privacy Policy summarises our commitment to protect it at all times.

When you use this website, you agree to the Privacy Policy that follows. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or our Terms and Conditions, you should immediately stop using this website.

Users under the age of 18 years of age are not eligible to use the services offered by this website, or provide innovations and ideas. If we find, or cannot verify, that any user is not 18 years of age or older, we will terminate access to the website.

Information We Collect

How Might’s business involves bringing people together to create, improve and evaluate great ideas and innovations. In order to do so, we collect information which may include your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, other information you provide to us voluntarily and knowingly, information from your usage of our site and services (gathered using a range of common Internet analytical tools, including IP address monitoring, ‘cookies’ and pixel tags) and information from your participation in ideas and innovation challenges.
We do not collect information that we regard as potentially sensitive, such as ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental health or sex life. We ask that you do not provide any such sensitive information to us.

As part of your participation in our ideas and innovation projects, you will make contributions that may be visible or accessible to other participants and/or to How Might’s clients, for example in on-line ideas forums and brainstormings, webinars and conference calls, all of which may also be recorded for later use in our sole discretion without further notice to you. We ask that, in order to protect your own privacy, you do not include any information in such contributions which identifies you personally. If, despite our advice, you do so, it will be entirely at your own risk. The use of your contributions is covered by our Terms and Conditions.

We generally do not collect any personal financial information except what is necessary to make any payments that may be due to you for your participation in specific projects and to comply with relevant legislation in doing so. Users are not generally charged for using the site and, if you wish to purchase any services from us, that will be the subject of an explicit agreement and we will collect payment details from you as part of or subsequent to that agreement.

How we use information

We use personally identifiable information to undertake such activities as:

  • Communicating with you according to the preferences you have told us.
  • Inviting you to participate in ideas and innovation projects that might interest you.
  • Managing your relationship with us in a mutually beneficial way.
  • Making any payments that may be due to you in a timely, effective and secure manner.
  • Monitoring and improving How Might’s business and innovation methods.
  • Endeavouring to prevent and/or address any possible fraud or misuse of How Might’s services.
  • Ensuring compliance with any relevant legislation.

We do not sell, rent or pass on your personally identifiable information to any third party (other than as necessary to provide our services, for example using third party data hosting providers or payments providers such as PayPal) unless you have authorised us to do so or unless we/they are required by law or we have a good faith basis for believing that you are in violation of this Privacy Policy, our Terms and Conditions, or applicable laws.

We use information in a number of anonymous or aggregated forms which do not identify individuals to provide analysis for clients and for the general management, marketing and improvement of How Might’s business.
We strive to keep your personally identifiable data secure, using a variety of tools and practices to protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorised disclosure or alteration. Please note, however, that, whilst we try to adhere to excellent standards of security, no system is 100% secure, especially any which includes transmission of data over the Internet. In particular, please be aware that unencrypted communications (for example, by email) are not necessarily secure.

For making or receiving payments, we use only higher-security methods such as encrypted payment services from recognised providers such as PayPal.

We instruct our employees with access to your information that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Privacy Policy. Employees who misuse customer information are subject to disciplinary action.
There may be occasions where we will transfer your personal data, or a portion thereof, overseas to affiliates, agents or appointed representatives which are located in other countries, some of which are outside the European Economic Area. These countries may not have data protection legislation that is comparable or equal to European law. While we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with this policy, your legal rights to data protection in those other countries may not be as broad and encompassing as the data protection rights under European law. If you do not want your personal data to be processed in such a manner then please do not send us your personal data.

Your right to opt out

You may at any time choose to leave How Might’s innovation network and opt out of receiving any further communications from us. If you do so, we will process your opt-out request as promptly as possible. We may send you an email to confirm the opt-out in order to ensure that it genuinely comes from you.
