1. Who This Policy Applies To
This policy applies to personal information handled by HelpfulByte in connection with helpfulbyte.com, HelpfulByte software products, customer support, product purchases, and related communications.
Third-party retailers, payment processors, hosting providers and other external services may have their own privacy policies. Their handling of information is governed by those policies as well as applicable law.

3. Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, helpfulbyte.com and its hosting or security services may automatically record basic technical information when the site is accessed.
This may include:
- IP address;
- browser and device information;
- date and time of access;
- pages or resources requested;
- referring or destination information; and
- technical, security or error-log information.
This information is generally used for website operation, security, troubleshooting, fraud prevention and service reliability.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
HelpfulByte, WordPress, hosting services, security tools, retailers or other services used on the site may use cookies or similar browser technologies where necessary for site functionality, security, transaction handling or other enabled website features.
Third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.
5. Purchases and Payment Information
LogoVary may be sold through an authorised retailer such as JVZoo. The retailer and its payment providers may collect and process information needed to complete the transaction, including payment and billing information.
HelpfulByte may receive transaction information needed to identify the order, provide the product, assist with support, administer refunds, or confirm the status of a purchase.
HelpfulByte does not need your full payment-card number in order to provide ordinary product support.
6. How We Use Personal Information
HelpfulByte may use personal information to:
- respond to questions and support requests;
- identify and verify purchases;
- help process refund or billing requests;
- deliver product or transaction-related information;
- operate, maintain, secure and improve the website and software business;
- prevent fraud, abuse or security incidents;
- maintain necessary business, accounting or transaction records; and
- comply with legal obligations.
7. When Information May Be Shared
HelpfulByte may share information only where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including with service providers that support website hosting, email, retail transactions, payment processing, security, or other business operations.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect legal rights, to prevent fraud or misuse, or in connection with a legitimate business transfer.
HelpfulByte does not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
8. Affiliate and Referral Tracking
When a visitor reaches a LogoVary offer through an affiliate or referral link, the retailer or affiliate platform may use cookies, referral identifiers or similar technology to determine whether a commission should be credited.
Affiliate tracking performed by JVZoo or another authorised platform is subject to that platform's own privacy and cookie practices.
9. Data Retention
HelpfulByte retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for customer support, transaction records, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute handling or other legitimate business needs.
Retention periods can vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is held.
10. Data Security
HelpfulByte takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
No website, email system, payment platform or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so absolute security cannot be promised.
11. International Services
Some service providers used by HelpfulByte, including retailers, hosting providers or payment services, may process information in countries other than your own.
Where this occurs, information may be subject to the laws and privacy practices applicable to those providers and locations.
12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights relating to personal information, such as asking for access, correction, deletion, restriction or other action.

HelpfulByte software and this website are not specifically directed to children. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children for marketing purposes.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to HelpfulByte inappropriately, contact us so we can review the situation.
