The Use of Your Information Online

There are various forms on our Web site in which we ask users to voluntarily provide us with information. This information helps us to provide better service to both our current and potential customers. Help Call Inc. uses incoming and outgoing Web site traffic data (log files) to help evaluate and adjust our Web site and servers. We also use it to gather broad demographic information about our users in general–such as how many users are coming to our site and what pages do they look at most often.

You have our assurance that we are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. We only use your personal information to help us service your account, to improve our services to you, to provide you with information or products you have requested, and to inform you about additional products or services that may be of interest to you. We do not sell or provide your personal information to third parties, and we protect your information by placing it in a secure data centre. This Web site does not collect personally identifying information about you except when you specifically and knowingly provide it.

With the recipients’ permission, we periodically send out e-mail newsletters, promotional messages, and announcements about Help Call Inc.. The newsletters primarily focus on providing safety, communication and security information and advice for our customers and other interested citizens. Recipients can remove themselves from our e-mailing list at any time.

This site may contain links to other Web sites. Help Call Inc. is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites and encourages you to review their privacy policies before providing them with any information.

Confidentiality

Information that is collected will never be shared with any other organization unless the user has provided us with explicit permission to do so or unless we are legally bound to identify an individual to a government authority under current information laws and regulations.

Information on Spam

Unsolicited “junk” e-mail is often referred to as “spam”. Nearly all of us at one time or another will find these unsolicited messages in our e-mail boxes. Unfortunately, there is no current solution to prevent the delivery of spam through various Internet Service Providers. Help Call Inc. does not and never will engage in such unethical activities.
