Protect Your Privacy Rights
Exercise Your Rights Under the California Privacy Acts
Understanding Your Privacy Rights
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) empower residents with significant control over their personal data. Effective January 1, 2025, these laws ensure your right to privacy and data protection.
Under these acts, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, request its deletion, and opt out of its sale or sharing. Helix IT is committed to upholding these rights and providing transparency in our data practices.
Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA
Exercising Your Privacy Rights
As a California resident, you are entitled to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. You can also request limitations on the use of sensitive data, and have the right to know, delete, or correct your information.
Additionally, you can appoint an authorized agent to act on your behalf and rest assured that exercising these rights will not result in discrimination. Helix IT is dedicated to respecting your choices and ensuring your privacy is protected.
Opt-Out Methods
How to Opt Out of Information Sharing
To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, you have two convenient options. First, you can send an email request to our support team. Simply email support@gohelixit.com with the subject line “CCPA Opt-Out Request.” Be sure to include your full name, email address, and a brief statement indicating your desire to opt out. Alternatively, you can use our online request form, which is available for those who prefer a digital submission. This form allows you to easily submit your opt-out request directly through our website.
Post Opt-Out Process
What Happens After Opting Out
Once your opt-out request is received and verified, Helix IT, LLC will promptly cease sharing your personal information for advertising or behavioral tracking purposes. Our systems will be updated accordingly, and we will inform any third-party partners involved, as required by law. You will receive a confirmation of the completed request unless you specify otherwise. Please note, we may continue to process your data for essential functions such as website operations, security, and service delivery, in compliance with CPRA regulations.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Understanding Cookies and Trackers
Our website utilizes cookies and tracking technologies to enhance user experience and gather analytics. These tools can sometimes be classified as “sharing” under California privacy laws, especially when they involve analytics services like Google Analytics, advertising metrics, or behavioral tracking. Third-party scripts that access user identifiers may also fall under this category. To further protect your privacy, you can disable cookies directly through your browser settings, which offers an additional layer of control over your personal data.
Designating an Authorized Agent
Empower Your Privacy Rights
As a resident of California, you have the right to appoint an authorized agent to act on your behalf when making privacy-related requests under the CCPA and CPRA. This can be particularly useful if you prefer not to handle these requests personally or if you require assistance in navigating the process. To designate an agent, you must provide us with written permission, which includes the agent’s name and contact information. Additionally, we may require verification of your identity and confirmation of the agent’s authority to act on your behalf. This ensures that your privacy rights are protected and that requests are handled securely and accurately. If you have any questions about this process or need guidance on how to proceed, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.
