Terms and Conditions

General Information

These Terms of Use apply to the Cyber Secure Dashboard portal, the domain `cybersecuredashboard.com`, its subdomains, and related services. The site is managed and supported by Heartland and certain subcontractors, partners, and suppliers.

Use of the site or any of its features, products, or services constitutes agreement to abide by these terms. The site is also subject to the Privacy Policy, which explains how information is collected, used, and shared.

I. Modification of the Agreement

Heartland may modify these terms by posting updates on this page. Unless stated otherwise, modifications become effective immediately upon posting. Continued use of the site after updates are posted signifies acceptance of the revised terms.

II. Products and Services

Cyber Secure Dashboard provides information and mechanisms to support cybersecurity compliance assessment and related operational workflows.

III. Subscription

Annual subscriptions begin on the day of purchase and automatically renew each year on the same date. If at any time you wish to cancel your subscription, you may do so by contacting Heartland Science and Technology Group at (217) 800-4684 or info@cybersecuredashboard.com.

If you choose to let your free trial subscription expire, no charges will be made to your credit card.

IV. Refund and Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your paid subscription at any time. However, Heartland Science and Technology Group does not offer refunds on subscription products after a 14-day evaluation period has ended.

V. Payment and Personally Identifiable Information

Heartland Science and Technology Group contracts with online payment service provider Braintree, a PayPal service, to manage all payments and associated card user data on our behalf. We do not access or save any credit card user information — Braintree provides a secure token which is then associated with a Cyber Secure Dashboard user account. To read more about our policy regarding user-generated content or user information provided through the registration process, see our Privacy Policy.
