  • Improving our Services. Analyze and learn about how the Services are accessed and used, evaluate, and improve our Services (including by developing new products and services and managing our communications) and monitor and measure the effectiveness of our advertising.

How we collect your information

We obtain personal information from various sources. We do this in three main ways:

  • When you give it us. You provide some of it directly (such as by registering for an account). For instance, we ask you to provide your name and email address to register and manage your account. We also maintain your marketing preferences and the emails and other communications that you send us or otherwise contribute, such as customer support inquiries or posts to our customer message boards or forums. You might also provide us with information in other ways, including by responding to surveys, submitting a form or participating in contests or similar promotions. If you do not provide personal information when requested, you may not be able to use our Services if that information is necessary to provide you with the service or if we are legally required to collect it.

  • When you use our Services. We record some of your information automatically when you use our Services or Applications (including with technologies like cookies). we collect information about your activity on and interaction with the Services, such as your IP address(es), your device and browser type, the web page you visited before coming to our Sites, what pages on our Sites you visit and for how long and identifiers associated with your devices. If you’ve given us permission through your device settings, we may collect your location information in our applications. If you are Customer of a Merchant we may also get information about your interactions with a Merchant’s site, though we use this in anonymous, aggregated or pseudonymized form which does not focus on you individually. We use this data to evaluate, provide, protect or improve our Services (including by developing new products and services). Some of this information is collected automatically using cookies and similar technologies when you use our Services or Applications. We let our Merchants control what cookies and similar technologies are used through their sites (except those we need to use to properly provide the Services, such as for performance or security related reasons). You can read more about our use of cookies in our Cookie Policy. Some of this information is similarly collected automatically through your browser or from your device.

  • From Third Parties. We receive some of it from third parties like when you register for an account using a Third-Party Service. If you use a Third-Party Service (such as Shopify) to register for an account, the Third-Party Service may provide us with your Third-Party Service account information on your behalf, such as your name and email address (we don’t collect or store passwords you use to access Third Party Services). Your privacy settings on the Third-Party Service normally control what they share with us. Make sure you are comfortable with what they share by reviewing their privacy policies and, if necessary, modifying your privacy settings directly on the Third-Party Service.

Sharing of information

In addition to the specific situations discussed elsewhere in this Privacy Notice, we share personal information in the following ways:

  • Affiliates. We share personal information with our affiliates when it is reasonably necessary or desirable, such as to help provide services to you or analyze and improve the services we or they provide.
  • Merchants. We share with our Merchants data regarding usage by Customers of their sites. For example, we provide a Merchant with information about how a Customer interacted with their site. This is so Merchants can analyze the usage of their sites and improve their services.
  • Business partners. We may share personal information with business partners. For example, we may share your personal information when our Services are integrated with their Third-Party Services, but only when you have been informed or would otherwise expect such sharing.
  • Third Party Plugins and Social Networks. We may share personal information with website plugins, social media platforms or similar Third-Party Services to improve your experience, at your direction, or when you intentionally interact with the plug-in. For example, when you use a Third-Party Service to create or log in to your account, we may share your personal information with that Third Party Service.
  • Service providers. We share personal information with our service providers that perform services on our behalf. For example, we may use third parties to help us provide customer support, manage our advertisements on other sites, send marketing and other communications on our behalf or assist with data storage.

We disclose your personal information if we determine that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, protect our or others’ rights, property, or interests (such as enforcing our Terms of Service) or prevent fraud or abuse of Helium or our Merchants or Customers. In particular, we may disclose your personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, such as to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
  • Advertising. We share personal information with third parties so they and we can provide you with tailored advertising and measure and monitor its effectiveness. For example, we may share your pseudonymized email address with a third-party social media platform on which we advertise to avoid serving Helium ads to people who already use Helium.

Exercising Your Rights

If you have questions or concerns about this, we want to talk with you. To exercise your rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us as described in the Contact Us section. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

Verifiable Consumer Request. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. You may be required to provide additional information necessary to confirm your identity before we can respond to your request, and we will use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity and confirm that the personal information relates to you.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically via secure email. For requests for deletion of your information, please understand that California law permits us to retain certain information and not to delete it under certain circumstances. By way of example, we are not required to comply with a request to delete information if (1) the information is necessary for us to (a) complete a transaction for you or otherwise perform a contract; or (b) detect, protect against, or prosecute security incidents, fraud or illegal activity; (2) we use the information only internally in ways reasonably aligned with your expectations as our customer (such as maintaining sales records), and (3) we are required to retain the information to comply with legal obligations. If we receive such a request from you, we will notify any service providers we have engaged to delete your information as well.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Using an Authorized Agent

You may submit a request through someone holding a formal Power of Attorney. Otherwise, you may submit a request using an authorized agent only if (1) the person is registered with the Secretary of State to do business in California, (2) you provide the authorized agent with signed written permission to make a request, (3) you verify directly with us that you have authorized the person to make the request on your behalf, (4) you verify your own identity directly with us, and (5) your agent provides us with proof that they are so authorized. We will require the agent to submit proof to us that they have been authorized to make requests on your behalf.

Sales of Personal Information

Helium does not sell or lease the data we collect and does not disclose your information for other valuable consideration. In the preceding twelve (12) months, Helium has not sold your personal information. If, in the future, we enter into arrangements that fall within the definition of a “sale” under the CCPA, we will update this Privacy Notice and our compliance with the CCPA. While Helium does not sell personal information, by law, we have to provide this a opt-out link: Do Not Sell My Personal Information . You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Other California Privacy Rights California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our Website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
