This policy explains our information practices, defines your privacy options and describes how your information is collected and used by us, BusyKeeper, LLC ("BK"). This policy covers the website at http://www.busykeeper.com (the "BK Website"). By using the BK Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in the manner described in this policy. BK shall have the right at any time and without prior notice, at its sole discretion, to revise this policy. Such revisions and additions shall be effective immediately upon notice, which may be given by any means, including but not limited to posting the revised or additional terms and conditions on the BK Website. You are responsible for reviewing the BK Website periodically for any modification to this policy. The Information We Collect This policy applies to all information collected on the BK website and any information you provide to BK. You will most likely provide personal information to us when you register as a BK Website user, order products or services from BK and, in some instances, when you use certain products and services offered by BK. The personal information we may collect includes:
The information you submit to BK may also include text, photographs, video, graphics, music and any other materials you might submit as part of, or in conjunction with, your use of the BK Website or your use of the BK products and services. Chatrooms, bulletin boards and product reviews The BK Website may include chatrooms, bulletin boards, product reviews, or other message areas that allow users to post information to the BK Website. When you post messages, other site visitors can also view them. We urge you to exercise caution when providing personally identifiable financial or other information in the chatrooms, bulletin boards, product reviews or other message areas. Remember that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public information. Our Collection of Your Data In addition to the personal information you supply, we collect certain information to evaluate how visitors, guests, and members use the BK Website and/or the BK products and services. We collect data to make our service work better for you in the following ways: to improve the design of the BK Website, to provide personalization on the BK Website, and to evaluate the performance of our marketing programs. The technologies we use to gather this non-personal information may include IP addresses, cookies, clear gifs, browser detection, and weblogs. How we use information Our primary goal in collecting your customer information is to provide you with a personalized, relevant, and positive experience with the BK Website. BK will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to others, except to the extent necessary to fulfill your order or provide other customer services. We may combine personal data collected online with information you have provided us through other sources, such as our sales and customer care staff, or public events such as trade shows or seminars. We use your email address to answer email we receive from you and to provide status updates for BK projects. We will not share your email address with outside parties, except as set forth in this policy. You can register on the BK Website to receive promotions and updates on new products and services, or to be contacted for market research purposes. The contact information you submit will not be used for these purposes unless you specifically opt in. You can control your privacy preferences regarding such marketing communications (see the section below entitled "Your Privacy Preferences"). From time to time, you may be invited to participate in optional customer surveys or contests, and BK may request that you provide some or all of the above listed personal information in those surveys or contests. We use information collected through contests to contact winners and award prizes. We use information collected from surveys to learn about our customers in order to improve our services and develop new products and services of interest to our customers. BK uses IP addresses, cookies, clear gifs, browser detection, and weblogs to provide a better experience on our website and to give us useful business information. IP addresses define the Internet location of computers and help us better understand the geographic distribution of our members and manage the performance of the BK Website. Cookies are tiny files placed onto the hard drive of your computer when you visit the BK Website, so we can immediately recognize you when you return to the site and deliver content specific to your interests. You may modify your browser preferences to accept all cookies, be notified when a cookie is set, or reject all cookies. Please consult your browser instructions for information on how to modify your choices about cookies. We also use a technology called clear gifs. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to track emails and online movements, helping us understand what marketing campaigns and content are effective. We detect the type of web browser you are using to optimize the performance of our website and to understand the mix of browsers used by our visitors, guests, and members. To learn about how people use our site, we examine weblogs, which show the paths people take through our site and how long they spend in certain areas. BK also sometimes contract with unaffiliated third parties to provide services, such as software for site features, customer communications, sweepstakes and prize fulfillment, analyzing and evaluating the information we collect, and other services. When we do this, we may provide your personally identifiable information to third parties only to provide those services, and they are not authorized to use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. Our Commitment to Data Security Access to your data is limited to authorized BK staff or approved vendors. We process all orders on a secure server that encrypts all financial information through the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. We will not store your credit card information in our database unless you instruct us to or join as a registered user. Credit card numbers are used for processing payments only and for no other purposes. Although total security does not exist on the Internet, BK shall make commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the information that you submit to BK. Use of the BK Website by Children The products and services offered by BK are not intended for use by children. BK will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information submitted by visitors to the BK Website site who are under the age of 13. Your Privacy Preferences When you sign up as a registered BK user, you may begin receiving marketing communications such as e-mail newsletters, product and service updates, promotions, and contests. Our customers generally find this type of information useful.
