BFC
Technologies is committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we
have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is intended to
describe how your personal information is processed and used, and we
will make every effort to ensure that our activities keep within the
spirit of this Privacy Policy. Please note that by visiting and using
bfc-tech.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy
Policy.
What Information is BFC Technologies gathering about its visitors and
how is it being used?
Every
computer connected to the Internet is provided with a domain name (e.g.
earthlink.net) and an IP Address (e.g. 192.164.13.145). When a visitor
requests a page from within the BFC website, our Web Servers
automatically identify and log the HTTP request that is made to our Web
Server. This information reveals nothing personal about you. In fact,
the only information that we automatically gather and log is as follows:
|
• |
The IP
Address of the Site that may have Referred you. |
|
• |
Your IP
Address |
|
• |
The Web
Page that you may have linked to us from, if any. |
|
• |
The
Product Identifier for Version and Make of Browser (e.g. Internet
Explorer 4.5) |
|
• |
The
Operating System platform that you may be running (e.g. Macintosh or
Windows) |
|
• |
Search
Words or Terms that are passed from a Search Engine (e.g. Google,
Yahoo, or Lycos) |
There is
absolutely nothing special about the information just described, and the
practice of collecting this data has been generally standardized by
virtually every Web Server on the Internet today.
The
purpose for this information is actually two-fold. One, BFC Technologies
has found it advantageous to examine visitor traffic in its aggregate,
so that we can ensure maximum compatibility for the various Browsers and
Operating Systems that visit our site. Additionally, as any business
should attest, it is our desire to generate greater amounts of visitor
traffic. By analyzing visitation patterns, referring URLs and Search
Engine terms, we can strategically enhance our exposure on the Internet.
What
about Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data that are transferred to your
computer's hard drive through your Web browser from our Web Server. A
cookie cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files that
may have been created from other sites. The BFC website utilizes cookies
as a means of providing personalization features to our visitors. For
example, we utilize cookies to remember settings (background music
selections, wallpapers preferences, etc.) that you may have made at our
website.
You can
choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your
browser. Typically, by accessing the browser's help feature you can
obtain information on how to prevent your browser from accepting all
cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not
to accept these cookies, your experience at our website and other
websites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
What
other information does BFC request?
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the
purposes of conducting a survey, adding you to our mailing list, or by
your request to have someone contact you for additional information.
Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate
the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We
maintain a strict "No Spam" policy that means we do not intend to sell,
rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to a third-party, without
your consent.
In
addition, BFC Technologies will not send you e-mail that you have not
agreed to receive. If you are a member of our Mailing List, you will be
contacted with announcements, news, portfolio additions, and new
products or services. You have the option of "Unsubscribing" from our
Mailing List at any time, thereby disabling any further such e-mail
communication from being sent to you. If you wish to have specific
communications with a member of the BFC Technologies staff, you will be
required to provide specific information that will be routed to the
appropriate contact within BFC Technologies.
