This information is collected and used for informational purposes only. We use this information to measure site usage and to make the site more beneficial to our visitors.
Personal Information
Personal information including name, location, e-mail address, company affiliation, telephone number, etc. is provided on a voluntary basis only. We use this information to respond to inquiries and requests for further information. We will not share or sell the personal information you provide us to a third party at any time except as expressly stated in the Privacy Policy and consented to by you. BCSS values the privacy of individuals who visit our web site and takes reasonable precautions to keep all information obtained from our online visitors secure against unauthorized access.
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that web sites commonly write to the site visitor’s hard drive when a site is visited. A cookie file contains information that can identify a return visitor and usually help with efficient website navigation and perform website specific functions (e.g. personalisation, login). Each time a user returns to a website, the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome) retrieves and sends this file to the website’s server to check for relevant data and to differentiate one user from another. The data is encrypted for added security. Our web site may use cookies as a way to measure activity and traffic patterns on the site in order to continually improve the visitor’s experience.
A browser can be set to warn the users before accepting cookies. Users can choose to refuse cookies by turning them off in the browser. Users do not need to have cookies turned on to visit our web site, but will need them to use certain customizable features on the site that we may launch in the future.
Children and Privacy
BCSS does not knowingly collect information from or about children age 13 and under.
External Links
Our site contains links to other Internet websites; such third party sites are not under our control and we do not contribute to the content or privacy practices of such websites. When you click through to these sites you leave the area controlled by us, and BCSS is not responsible for any issues arising in connection with either the third party’s use of your data, the site content or the services offered to you by any linked sites.
Changes to Policy
If BCSS decides to change its privacy policies and practices, we will post those changes to our Privacy Policy on our web site in advance of the changes taking effect, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will continue to be able to use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.
