As with many websites, we collect data from and on those individuals who visit our websites, use our software, or register for our newsletter or events. Collectively in this Privacy Policy we refer to our hosted application, our support site (support.helpy.io) and marketing website (helpy.io) and our mobile applications as "the Services". This Privacy Policy describes our data collection practices and what information we collect from you when you use the Services. We take our privacy obligations very seriously and have made every effort to write this policy in a way that is clear and succinct.

If you do not agree to this policy or our use of cookies, please do not use the Services.

Our Relationship as it Pertains to the GDPR

If you are an EU resident, you have rights provided by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When you visit our marketing website or support website, or if you are a customer any Helpy Services, we act as a Data Controller. This document describes how we protect your private personal data and what rights you have as a Data Subject.

If you are a customer of Helpy, we act as a Data Processor for your customer data, and you act as the Data Controller for your customer's data. This relationship is described in more detail in our Data Processing Addendum. As the Data Controller, your Data Subjects are subject to your own Privacy Statement, which should include reference to Helpy as a Third Party Data Processor.

Consumer rights provided by the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA")

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) provides consumers with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. You have the right to request that businesses subject to the CCPA (which may include our customers with whom you have a relationship) disclose certain information to you about their collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. In addition, you have the right to ask such businesses to delete Personal Information collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. If the business sells Personal Information, you have a right to opt-out of that sale. Finally, a business cannot discriminate against you for exercising a CCPA right.

Our Relationship as it Pertains to the CCPA

When offering services to our Customers, Helpy acts as a “service provider” under the CCPA and our receipt and collection of any consumer Personal Information is completed on behalf of our Customers in order for us to provide the Service. Please direct any requests for access or deletion of your Personal Information under the CCPA to the Customer with whom you have a direct relationship.

Information We Collect

We collect information from you in two ways- directly (information you provide to us) and indirectly (information collected by automated means.)

How We Collect Information Directly from You:

As with many websites, we collect the e-mail addresses, names and other details of those who volunteer information to us by signing up for the Services, requesting information, filling out web forms, subscribing to newsletters and events, chatting with us, contacting us on the phone or in person, or other ways of volunteering information.

We collect and use data on individuals in the following ways:

• If you create a helpdesk account, we collect your email address, full name, phone number and company name. This is to create your account and pre-configure certain aspects of it and contact you regarding any important service matters.
• If you upgrade to a paid subscription, we collect your address and billing information. This is to charge you. This is also used to contact you about important business or service matters.
• When you request information from us, we collect your name, email address and phone number, so that we may get back to you.
• When you request support, we collect your name and email address so that we can get back to you with help.

How We Collect Information indirectly or passively when you interact with us

We use a number of techniques to gather data from visitors and users passively. This data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of the Services that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

The information we collect is used to improve the content of our web pages and the quality of our service and is never shared with or sold to other organizations for commercial purposes, except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or if it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service, or as otherwise required by law.

We collect and use this information in the following ways:

• When you visit any of our Services, we track the pages and articles you are viewing. This data is used in aggregate to improve the Services.
• When you use our Services, we may track your actions and record your screen for support purposes and to improve your experience.
• Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Services ("Log Data"). This Log Data is used to improve the Services.
• We track site errors which may include information about your browser and your account information (if you are a logged in customer.)

Third Party Information Sharing

Some of the data we collect is shared with third party service providers and business partners. In all cases, these providers act as data processors on our behalf, and will never share the data we have provided to them.

Google: We use the Google Gsuite family of products. Any messages you send us, whether through the Services or directly by email may arrive in Google mail. This may contain your name, email address, and any other personal data you share in your email signature or body content. Additionally we may have internal use spreadsheets that contain your personal data.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to gather and analyze aggregate visitor behavior in the Service.

HubSpot: We use Hubspot as a sales CRM. We share your name, email address and any other personal data you have supplied us with. In addition, Hubspot "widens" your personal data by combing it with external sources to provide a fuller view of you and your organization.

We share your email address and name (if we have them) with Smartlook to be associated with any recordings.
