The Helmsman Group, LLC Privacy Policy

The information we collect from you varies depending on the way you use our Services. When you simply browse our public website as a consumer (“Consumer”) to explore our Services or to learn more about us, the information we collect and use is different from the information we collect if you are a D&H business user (“Business User”) or a Business User’s authorized user (“Authorized User”) and purchase and/or license one of our products or services. Below, we describe the different ways we might collect information from you.

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us.

Consumers

For example, when you use our services as a Consumer, you share information directly with us when you fill out a form requesting more information or otherwise communicate with us.

The types of personal information we may collect include your name, email address, phone number, and any other information you choose to provide.

Business Users

If you become a Business User, we collect certain personal information from you and/or your Authorized Users in order to facilitate our business relationship with you and provide you our products and Services (collectively, “Business User Information”).

The Business User Information we may collect from you or your Authorized Users includes: [name, business name, job title, email address associated with your business, postal and billing address, user name and chosen account password.]

We also collect information a Business User chooses to provide relating to its clients or individuals that it serves (“Business Clients”). Business Users must provide their Business Clients any required notices and collect any necessary consents before providing or disclosing any such information (collectively “Business Client Information”) to us. Helmsman does not directly collect or control Business Client Information, but rather the Business Users determine what Business Client Information they collect, and to the extent Helmsman receives that information, we do so on behalf of our Business Users.

For more information about cookies and how to disable them, see the Your Choices section below.

Information We Collect from Other Sources

We may obtain information from third-party sources. For example, if you create or log into your Helmsman account through a third-party platform (such as Facebook or Google), we will have access to certain information from that platform, such as your name, account information, friends lists, birthday, and profile picture, in accordance with the authorization procedures determined by such platform.
