Phishing
"Phishing" refers to emails sent to individuals containing genuine-looking messages that instruct them to provide sensitive personal information. Individuals who open these emails and their attachments are exposed to identity theft. Phishing occurs when an individual receives a deceptively-legitimate looking email from what appears to be a recognized or reputable company. The email asks recipients to update their credit card or account information. The Horizon company does not send emails with links to update your information. The company is not responsible for phishing attempts by identity thieves, which use the Horizon International Solutions name or identification.

Horizon reserves the right to change, modify or supplement this Privacy Policy at any time. Any such changes will be posted on the company website, which can be reviewed by anyone at any time.
