2. Information We Collect
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and personalized experience while using our services. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to make your experience easier and quicker.
The types of personal information collected or submitted on the BVPOA website are:
Name
Address
Email address
Phone Number
Credit/Debit Card Information
(etc.)
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, track users’ movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. This information may include the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser and operating system you are using, your IP address etc.
In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie. Cookies can also help us provide information which is targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Most cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session. The other type of cookie we use is a ‘persistent’ cookie. This stays on your hard drive and we use this to automatically identify who you are. The cookie itself contains no personally identifiable information. We use the cookie to track how often you visit the site so we know who our most loyal users are. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you will not be able to use certain features on our site. Some of our advertisers may use cookies on our site. These are used to monitor site performance and to measure site traffic and usage. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by BVPOA only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Surveys & Services. From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys or for a particular service (e.g. newsletter). Participation in these surveys or services is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested will include contact information and supplementary information on your professional interests, opinions and preferences. We will use the information provided to contact you or to compile data for BVPOA research purposes.
Payment Processing. In order to process payments online we require the billing address for the credit card used and your credit card details. For details of how your information is used, please see the following section.
