Does HellooMarket Share Your Personal Information?
Information about our customers is an important part
of our business, and we are not in the business of selling our customers’
personal information to others. We share customers’ personal information only
as described below and with subsidiaries helloomarket.com, controls that either
are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective
as those described in this Privacy Notice.
·
Transactions involving Third Parties: We
make available to you services, products, applications, or skills provided by
third parties for use on or through HellooMarket Services. For example, you can
order products from third parties through our stores, download applications
from third-party application providers from our App Store. We also offer
services or sell product lines jointly with third-party businesses, such as
co-branded credit cards. You can tell when a third party is involved in your
transactions, and we share customers’ personal information related to those
transactions with that third party.
·
Third-Party Service Providers: We employ
other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include fulfilling orders for products or services, delivering packages, sending
postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists,
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and
links (including paid listings and links), processing payments, transmitting
content, scoring, assessing and managing credit risk, and providing customer
service. These third-party service providers have access to personal
information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other
purposes.
·
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop
our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such
transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business
assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy
Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the
unlikely event that HellooMarket or substantially all of its assets are
acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
·
Protection of HellooMarket and Others: We
release account and other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our terms and conditions
and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of HellooMarket,
our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies
and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice
when personal information about you might be shared with third parties, and you
will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We design our systems with your security and privacy
in mind.

We work to protect the security of your personal
information during transmission by using encryption protocols and software.
·
We follow the Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standard (PCI DSS) when handling credit card data.
·
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural
safeguards in connection with the collection, storage, and disclosure of
personal customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may
occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information
to you.

Our devices offer security features to protect
them against unauthorized access and loss of data. You can control these
features and configure them based on your needs.

It is
important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and
to your computers, devices, and applications. Be sure to sign off when finished

What About Advertising?
·
Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other
Websites: HellooMarket Services may include third-party advertising and
links to other websites and apps. Third-party advertising partners may collect
information about you when you interact with their content, advertising, and
services.
·
Use of Third-Party Advertising Services: We
provide ad companies with information that allows them to serve you with more
useful and relevant HellooMarket ads and to measure their effectiveness. We
never share your name or other information that directly identifies you when we
do this. Instead, we use an advertising identifier like a cookie or other
device identifier. For example, if you have already downloaded one of our apps,
we will share your advertising identifier and data about that event so that you
will not be served an ad to download the app again. Some ad companies also use
this information to serve you relevant ads from other advertisers.
What Information Can I Access?
You can access your information, including your name,
address, payment options, profile information, Prime membership, household
settings, and purchase history in the "Your Account" section of the
website.

your personal information, please contact our Customer Service- 8420. Many
of our HellooMarket Services also include settings that provide you with
options as to how your information is being used.
·
As described above, you can choose not to
provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage
of many of the HellooMarket Services.
·
If you don’t want to receive in-app
notifications from us, please adjust your notification settings in the app or
device.
·
The Help feature on most browsers and devices
will tell you how to prevent your browser or device from accepting new cookies
or other identifiers, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new
cookie, or how to block cookies altogether. Because cookies and identifiers
allow you to take advantage of some essential features of HellooMarket
Services, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you
block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to
your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any Services that require you
to Sign in.

other types of data usage by updating your settings on the applicable HellooMarket
website , device, or application. Most non-HellooMarket devices also provide
users with the ability to change device permissions (e.g., disable/access
location services, contacts). For most devices, these controls are located in
the device's settings menu. If you have questions about how to change your
device permissions on devices manufactured by third parties, we recommend you
contact your mobile service carrier or your device manufacturer.
In addition, to the extent required by applicable law,
you may have the right to request access to or delete your personal data. If
you wish to do any of these things, please contact Customer Service- 8420.
Depending on your data choices, certain services may be limited or unavailable.
