Website Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Helot Development (“Helot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you visit helotdevelopment.com (the “Site”) or submit information to us through the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
Contact form:
When you submit our contact form, we collect your full name, company name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.
Subcontractor prequalification:
When your company submits a prequalification application, we collect business and contact information about your company and its representatives, which may include contact names, email addresses, phone numbers, license information, insurance documentation, safety records (including OSHA logs and EMR verification), surety information, and financial statements. Most of this information relates to a business entity, but some of it may identify individual people, such as owners, officers, or points of contact.
Email and phone: If you email or call us directly, we collect the information you choose to provide.
Information Collected Automatically:
Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the Site may not function properly without them.
3. How We Use Information
- To respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form or by email or phone
- To evaluate subcontractor prequalification applications and manage our trade partner relationships
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site
- To comply with legal, regulatory, insurance, and contractual obligations
- To protect our rights, property, and safety and those of others
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share information only in the following circumstances:
Service providers: We use third-party vendors to operate the Site and process form submissions, including our website hosting provider and Formspree, which processes our online form submissions. These providers are permitted to use your information only to provide services to us.
Professional advisors: We may share information with our attorneys, accountants, insurers, and similar advisors where reasonably necessary.
Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others.
Business transfers: If Helot is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
5. Data Retention and Security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including satisfying legal, insurance, accounting, and contractual requirements. Prequalification records are generally retained for the duration of the trade partner relationship plus any applicable record retention period. We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), may give you certain rights with respect to your personal information, including the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and share it, the right to request deletion of your personal information, the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@helotdevelopment.com or (562) 760-0444. We will verify your identity before responding and will respond within the time frames required by law. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.
Note that the CCPA applies to personal information about individuals and generally does not apply to information about business entities, or to certain business-to-business contact information handled in a commercial context.
7. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as news outlets, government forms, and social media, and may include embedded content from other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the third-party website directly, and those websites may collect information about you. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.
8. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of the Policy. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
