BP COMPUTER PRIVACY STATEMENT
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for www.bpcomp.com.
Because this web site wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, it has agreed to disclose its information practices.BP Computer is the sole owner of the
information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this statement. BP Computer collects information from our
users at several different points on our website.
Registration
In order to use this
website, a user may be asked to complete a registration form. During registration a user is asked
to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the
user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. We will not ask the user to provide
demographic information (such as income level and gender), and unique
identifiers (such as social security number).
Order
We request information
from the user on our order form.
Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration
date). This information is used for
billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites.
Please be aware that we, BP Computer, are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to
subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and
email address.
Security
This website takes every precaution to
protect our users’ information.
When users submit sensitive information via the website, your information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users
to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social
security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best
encryption software in the industry - SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of
our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new
policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’
information is protected. Finally,
the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a
secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security
at our website, you can send an email to security@bpcomp.com.
Special
Offers
We send some new members a welcoming email to
verify that address. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of
respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these
types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Correction/Updating Personal
Information:
If a user no longer desires our
service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user’s personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are
given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information used for purposes
not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the
information. For example, our order
form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don’t
want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our
newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email
or email us at support@bpcomp.com
Users of our site are always notified when
their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an
outside party, or not.
Notification of
Changes
If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so our
users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
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 by way of an email. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy
under which the information was collected.
