trends to determine what part of our services are most popular with
users.
We may

the safety of our visitors or others; to fulfill your requests; or to
cooperate in any legal investigation.
You

(whether through HEG's services or any other service available online),
personal or otherwise, that information can be collected and used by
others. For example, if you use chat, forums, bulletin boards, your

unsolicited messages from others. HEG has no control over this use of
your personal information.
