1. Why We Use Cookies
Helpful‑Essay.com relies on cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure site performance, and show you ads that are more likely to interest you. Cookies fall into three categories:
- Necessary – keep the site secure and functional (e.g., login, fraud‑prevention).
- Performance – tell us how visitors navigate the site so we can improve speed and usability.
- Marketing – enable interest‑based advertising through partners such as Google Ads.
You can refuse or delete cookies at any time via your browser settings. To opt out of cross‑site interest‑based ads, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance pages at https://optout.aboutads.info and https://optout.networkadvertising.org/.
2. Your Privacy Rights in the United States
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what categories of personal data we collect and how we use them.
- Delete personal data, subject to legal and contractual limits.
- Opt Out of “sales” or “sharing” of data (we do not sell personal data in the CCPA sense).
- Non‑Discrimination – receive equal service even when exercising these rights.
Several other states—including Colorado, Virginia, and Connecticut—offer similar rights. We will honor any applicable request from residents of those states.
To submit a request, email support@helpful‑essay.com with your full name, state of residence, and the specific right you wish to exercise. We will verify your identity before processing.
3. Data Security
We protect information with HTTPS encryption, secure servers, and PCI‑compliant payment processors. Even with these safeguards, no online transmission is 100 % secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
4. Data Retention
Personal data is kept only as long as needed to supply the service you requested, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, or enforce our agreements. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it in accordance with industry standards.

If we make a material change, we will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
