PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy policy for the Helti.net website, related websites and other information services.

30 April 2018

 

Helti.net and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Helti” or “we”) respect your preferences concerning the collection and use of your personal data. Our goal is to deliver content targeted to the industry in which you work, the products you use, the role you play in your organization, and your specific preferences.

 

In order to provide you with relevant information, fulfil your specific requests, and enhance your experience across the Helti website, we will at times collect information or request personal information from you. The information collected and how it is used will vary across the website. This policy describes how we collect information on the website, how we use information collected from the website, and what choices you may have.

 

Prior Privacy Policies
This Privacy Policy supersedes other Privacy Policies or provisions relating to privacy and data protection that were displayed on this website before the revision date stated above.

 

Online Data
This Privacy Policy applies only to the data that we collect online, from users of our website.

 

Data Collection on the Website
Users can visit most areas of the website without revealing who they are, or providing any information about themselves. However, Helti may receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself – the standard electronic greeting between your computer, the network, and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), date, and time. At this time, our server will also query your computer to see if there are “cookies” previously set by Helti.net to facilitate log in, or other site navigation procedures.

 

IP Addresses
We collect IP addresses and domain name information for system administration, security, and statistical analysis purposes. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer whenever it is connected to the Internet. We log these addresses and analyse them to understand where requests originate, so that we can provide the most efficient service, enhance security, ensure appropriate usage, and produce traffic volume statistics.

 

Identifiable Information
We also collect personal information from users of the website, through registration screens, online forms, from online sales inquiries, or in e-mails that users send us. Personal information may include name, title, company, address, phone number, e-mail address, and the like.

 

Cookies and Analytics Software
Cookies are small text files that a website can send to a user’s browser for storage on the hard drive. Cookies can make use of the web easier by saving status and preferences about a website.

We use cookies to collect information about a visitor’s use of the website and to facilitate return visits. Cookies on the site may collect the following information: a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown, and membership information to access GeoVista and/or other shipment tracking and information services. The information collected from cookies is tracked to improve the functionality of the website by facilitating navigation, and increasing the relevance of content. In the future, as we enable further customization of the website, cookies will help in assuring that information provided to you will be the most relevant to your needs.

While we do not offer an opt-out on the website for cookies, your browser provides you with information and control over cookies. You can set your web browser to alert you when a cookie is being used, get information on the duration of the cookie, and learn to which server your information is being returned. To learn more about cookies and browser functionality relating to cookies please search for “cookies” in the help function of your browser.

We may also use embedded analytics software to help track site usage. The site usage information collected by these technologies is associated with cookies and may provide personally identifiable information about site use by registered users of Helti. This information is used to evaluate site content, navigability and composition as well as page response rates.

 

Advertising
Helti.net may elect to permit a limited number of sponsorships and advertisements on its websites. No personally identifiable information is passed back to the advertisers as part of this process, but aggregate profile information, such as user community, may be used in the selection of advertising to make sure that it has relevance to the user. On some banner ads, an embedded pixel may be present, and while it does not associate with a cookie or other personal profile information, it may return session connection information that allows advertisers to better determine how many individual users have clicked on the ad banner. The privacy practices of advertisers are beyond the control of Helti.net and you should review the privacy policy of any associated site before providing any personal information.

 

Retention of Customer Information
We retain information about clients as necessary for business purposes and as required by government regulation. For example, we retain information about packages, including names and addresses, so that we can provide proof of delivery information and to process claim requests. We carefully dispose of records and delete information when retention periods expire.

 

Third Parties
As we collect and use information about our clients, we may contract with vendors to assist us in processing that information. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than helping to provide Helti.net services to our clients. We also reserve the right to transfer or disclose identifiable information to third parties in connection to the sale or proposed sale of any of our subsidiaries or affiliates, or of any division or part of Helti.net.

 

How We Use The Data We Collect

 
We use the data collected from users for the following purposes:

 

  • To select content. Information may be collected to help create website content and navigation that is most relevant and user friendly. This includes information collected as a result of site navigation as well as information provided in forms.

 

  • To better respond to requests for quotes for services. Helti will pass contact information to the appropriate Helti sales person or consultant for follow-up related to your request.

 

  • To provide future service and support. Information collected for this purpose is both contact information and information related to services requested. This information is also used to provide service update, and similar notices.

 

  • As a result of legal requirements. Helti may be required to provide personally identifiable information to comply with legally mandated reporting, disclosure, or other legal process requirements.

 

  • To engage in transactions or communications. Name, address, e-mail, shipment details, and credit card/payment information may be collected and stored as part of the transaction history. The majority of the information collected under this category is business contact information. We may need to share some of this information (address, payment) with delivery services, credit card clearing houses and other similarly situated third parties that are required to accomplish the transaction. We also use this information to respond to inquiries about the tracking of packages.

 

  • To ensure adequate shipment and delivery of shipment. We receive and collect information about individuals who are the sender or recipient of shipments. This information is provided to us by the person or entity that orders or arranges for the shipment. If you are such entity, and provide us with personal information of a third party, you represent and warrant to Helti that you have obtained all necessary consents for the processing of such personal information contemplated by the shipment, including the transfer of such data to the United States or other countries whose laws may not provide the same level of protection for the personal data as the laws of the country of origin of such individual.

 

  • To better tailor marketing to user needs. We may use information to provide you with notices of service developments that may address your needs. Marketing notices are subject to the general opt-out elections.

 

  • To promote our services. We may also send information to registered users about Helti products, services, and system changes that we think may be of interest. We allow users to choose to discontinue (opt-out) from receiving information from Helti at any time.

 

  • To power joint sales or product promotions. Helti and its partners may engage in joint events or provide bundled products. Such promotions will always reference the partners involved. Both Helti and the partner(s) will have access to that information. While we carefully choose our partners, privacy is a very subjective concern and we advise you to review the privacy policies of these partners.

 

 

Communications Choices
We recognize that users may not wish to be contacted about new or related services. Our website allows you to opt-out of e-mail marketing by contacting us. There are a few limited exceptions to the opt-out for certain communications, such as communications related to an order, or with respect to a pricing inquiry.

 

Third Party Opt-In Lists
On occasion, we may use a third party opt-in list. These are lists maintained by third parties that have received permission (opt-ins) from their users to receive e-mails from other companies. We do not have access to the names on these lists as the third party that has the direct relationship with customer maintains the list and the opt-outs, removes, and unsubscribe to those lists. We request from the list owners that we use to identify themselves as the mailers of the e-mail and provide appropriate opt-out mechanisms. While we advise users to avail themselves of the opt-out functionality provided in the particular e-mail, should users have trouble opting out, or should they wish to make us aware of any issues related to the mailing, they may contact us directly by using our contact us page.

 

Information-Sharing Choices
We only share information with selected companies after providing users with ability to either opt-out of, or opt-in to the sharing. There are limitations to such opt-outs/opt-ins: in the case of joint sale or joint events where the information goes to both Helti and the other party at the same time, where the customer has requested follow up which involves Helti partners, and as needed with third parties required to accomplish the transaction including delivery and credit card clearing services. As we further develop our preference tools we will endeavour to have our partners join in their use to provide the user with a more seamless and streamlined environment.

The inclusion of any link does not imply Helti endorsement of the external site company, its website, or the products and services it promotes and sells.
