Privacy Policy
Helix is committed to implementing measures designed to protect the privacy of those using our services. Although Helix respects the privacy of all those who visit our Site and use our online services, we do collect information from and about our users. Except as set forth within this Privacy Policy, our Terms of Service, and other published guidelines, we do not release personally identifiable information (as described below) about users of this Site without their permission.
Effect of This and Related Documents: This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms of Service and other published guidelines, governs your interaction with this Site, and your registration for and use of Helix's online services.
Periodic Policy Changes: Please note that Helix reviews its privacy practices from time to time (e.g., to track technology and/or legal changes), and that those practices are subject to change. We ask that you bookmark and periodically review this page to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our privacy policy.
Opt-Out Option: If you would like to have your personally-identifiable information removed from Helix's databases going forward, please call 1.813.435.3445, or e-mail info@helixcontent.com, and we will use reasonable efforts to comply with your request. However, there will be residual information that will remain within Helix's databases, access logs, and other historical internal records, which may or may not contain such personally-identifiable information.

The Information We May Gather
(a) General: When users come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information indicating their home server, but not their e-mail addresses. Such information helps us identify the most popular content and portions of our Site and determine the effectiveness of our various promotional activities. We aggregate such information for internal review and thereafter it's superseded by more recent information.
(b) "Cookies": We also use "cookies" -- that is, small text files placed on your computer's hard drive -- to help you in getting faster access to this Site's contents, and to help us determine the type of content you find of interest and the sites to which you link, the length of time you spend at any particular area of this Site, and the particular Helix services you choose to use. Cookies are only read by the server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus. Cookies allow Helix to serve you better, and to personalize your Web-browsing experience. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your Web browser. For more information on how to do this, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser or third party Web sites.
(a) General: In certain areas of this Site, we require that you provide us with personally-identifiable information, in order to be able to use that portion or those portions of this Site. For instance, the names and contact information of persons who visit our Web sites are added to our data base (presently maintained in Austin, Texas, USA) so that, for example, they may be contacted in the future regarding Helix's products, services or future opportunities. Such contact may occur by e-mail, telephone or mail, as Helix deems appropriate.
(b) Lack of Helix Responsibility For Third Party Content On Site: Helix cannot and does not control the acts of the users of its Web site's services or monitor the accuracy of postings by such users. All users should be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable information in a bulletin board, chat room, or other forum or public area of this Site, the information might be collected, circulated, and used by others. In the event that you encounter any user who is improperly collecting or using information about you or other users, please contact us at 1.813.435.3445, or e-mail info@helixcontent.com.
How We Use The Information We Gather
Helix reserves the right to disclose information contained in our access logs concerning any user as we reasonably feel is necessary to protect our systems or business. In particular, we reserve the right to disclose such when a user is in violation of our current or later Terms of Service or other published guidelines, or initiates or participates (or is reasonably believed so) in any illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, and to disclose such information in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests, and as otherwise required by law.
In reviewing the information above, please keep in mind that Helix cannot and does not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including other Site users, including the manner in which they might use information received either from Helix or independently.
