This Privacy Policy applies to information about you that Helios Quantitative Research LLC (“Helios”, “we”, “our”, “us”) may obtain when you visit HeliosTools.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we may collect, use, or share information about you; your choices regarding our use of your information; how we safeguard such information; and how you may contact us regarding our privacy practices.
Information You Provide. We may obtain information that you provide directly to us when you interact with the Site (e.g., when you register for our service, use our chat support feature, or request information). This information may include personal information, which is information that can be used to identify you individually, such as your name, email address, physical address, phone number, company affiliation, and Central Registration Depository (“CRD”) number.
If you submit to us someone else’s personal information (e.g., their name, birth year, and email address), you represent that you have the authorization to provide this information to us.
Information Collected Automatically. We may use various tools and technologies like cookies and web server logs to collect information automatically on the Site. This information may include IP addresses, device identifiers, browser characteristics, operating system details, internet service provider details, language preferences, referring URLs, time and length of visits, and pages viewed.
“Cookies” are small data files stored by your web browser on your computer. Cookies may allow a website to recognize a user’s device, record user preferences, track the pages a user clicks on while visiting the website, and identify the website visited immediately beforehand. Most web browsers accept cookies by default, but you may be able to adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the availability and functionality of this Site and other websites. Also, disabling cookies may invalidate opt outs that use cookies to recognize devices that have opted out.
We may combine certain automatically collected information with other information we obtain about you, which may include data we obtain from third parties.
Please note that we or third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different devices and online properties when you use the Site.
Your web browser may have settings that allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal when you visit various websites or use online services. Like many websites, the Site is not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from browsers. To learn more about “Do Not Track” signals, visit www.allaboutdnt.com.
Information Collected From Other Parties. Our service providers may share with us your personal information that you submit to them. We may combine information that we have about you with information we obtain from other parties. When you submit information to another party, you are subject to that third party’s terms of use and privacy policies, for which we are not responsible.
We may use personal information we collect through the Site for various purposes including:
We may share your personal information with our subsidiaries, affiliates, business partners, and vendors that provide services on our behalf.
In the event of a business transaction, such as if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (e.g., further to a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or any other business transaction, including negotiations of such transactions), we reserve the right to disclose any information we obtain through the Site.
Additionally, Helios may disclose personal information when required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal processes; in response to activities that are unlawful or a violation of Helios’s rules for use of the Site; or to protect and defend our rights or property.
The Site may include links to other websites that are not owned or operated by Helios. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites, which may have their own privacy policies or notices that you should review to understand how they may collect, use, or disclose your personal information. Helios is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any linked websites that it does not control.
The Site also may provide links to other websites operated by Helios or our subsidiaries, or affiliates. Unless indicated otherwise, these websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy; we encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on these linked websites.
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet and online digital storage are not completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of your information collected through the Site.
Communication Preferences and Marketing. If you do not wish to receive marketing emails from us, you can opt out of future marketing emails by following the instructions provided in the marketing emails. Opting out of marketing emails will not affect our administrative emails to you (e.g., emails about your use of the Site).
Accessing, Reviewing, and Changing Your Personal Information. Registered users can review and change certain personal information (e.g., name, physical address, company affiliation, CRD number) at any time by accessing their account on the Site.
If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that information we obtain about you will be processed in the United States or in other jurisdictions. By using the Site, you acknowledge your personal information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your own as described in this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that the data protection laws and regulations that apply to your personal information transferred to the United States or other countries may be different from the laws in your country of residence.
This Privacy Policy is subject to change at our discretion. We will indicate changes to the Privacy Policy by updating the “Effective date” at the beginning of the Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this Site after any update to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of the changes.
