Types of Information Collected

Personally Identifiable Information
When you register as a User ("Member") with BCT, we collect certain Personal Information from you. Personal Information is information that can be used to identify you personally and includes, but is not limited to, your name, address, phone number, email address and credit card information.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
When you visit the BCT Website, we collect certain Non-Personal Information through the use of certain analytical tracking software. This is generalized information and cannot be used to easily identify you personally. Such information includes, but is not limited to, your IP address, your ISP, your browser type, your operating system, your clickstream patterns, the URL of the most recent website you visited before coming to BCT, the amount of time you spent on our site and the pages and material you viewed while on our site.

Methods of Collection

BCT collects your Personal Information in several different ways. First, we collect information when you provide it to us when registering as a Member, when you set up a Member Profile, when you sign up for a newsletter or message board or when you communicate with us directly via the BCT Website. We also employ commonly used analytic and reporting software technologies to collect certain Non-Personally Identifying Information such as your IP address, your ISP, your browser type, your operating system, your clickstream patterns, the URL of the most recent website you visited before coming to BCT, the amount of time you spent on our site and the pages you viewed while on our site.

Use of Personal Information

Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information is mainly used for BCT’s own internal purposes in order to provide the Services to you, including, but not limited to, billing, customer service issues, maintaining and improving the BCT Website, providing and improving the Services and conducting User outreach.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
BCT uses Non-Personally Identifiable Information to track and analyze the usage and performance of the Website and Services. BCT uses this information internally to assist in determining changes and/or upgrades to the Website, whether to add or discontinue specific Services and for internal market analysis purposes.

Disclosure of Personal Information

In general, we do not disclose Personal Information to third parties without your prior consent. However, we reserve the right to do so in certain limited situations as identified below:

1)    Disclosure to Third-Party Service Providers
In the course of providing you the Services, we may at our option use third-party service providers to provide some or all of the Services you may request in your use of the Website. An example of this would be the use of third-party credit card processing companies to process payments made by you during your use of the Services. We make all commercially reasonable efforts to make sure that these third-party vendors use your Personal Information only to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you. However, we cannot guarantee that a third-party vendor will not disclose your Personal Information.

2)    Disclosure to Other Third Parties
We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information to protect or enforce BCT’s rights, or the rights of a third party, to prevent an emergency or as may be required by law, including, but not limited to, compliance with subpoenas or court orders.

3)    Successors in Interest
We may also disclose your Personal Information to any successor in interest to our company, including, but not limited to, any third-party company that may acquire or merge with BCT. In the event of a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of BCT, your Personal Information will most likely be part of the transaction. If such a transaction happens, we will notify you by the methods listed in the Terms of Service concerning the transaction and the transfer of your Personal Information.

4)    Disclosure of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may disclose any Non-Personally Identifiable Information we collect to our strategic business partners, potential business partners, investors, advisors and customers. This information is usually disclosed in terms of aggregate numbers. Since the information cannot be traced back to you directly, you may not “opt out” of our use of such Non-Personally Identifiable Information.

Security of Personal Information

We employ commercially reasonable technology and systems to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, sensitive information is transmitted in an encrypted format using secure socket layer technology. However, no protection methods are 100% secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee the 100% security of your Personal Information. We are not responsible for any disclosure of Personal Information due to any errors in transmission of your information, or any unauthorized third-party access or any other acts by third parties or any acts or omissions beyond our reasonable control.

Public Nature of Certain Website Content

Certain Services provided by BCT now or in the future may be accessible by the public.

We are not responsible for third-party uses of any Personal Information contained in these public disclosures.

We use cookies to help identify you and reduce the number of times you need to sign in to the Website and to personalize and track your use of the Website.
