BZ Financial Privacy Policy
We know that you
care how your information is used, and we appreciate your trust that
we will use it carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our
privacy policy. By visiting us, you are accepting the privacy
policy described below.
1.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
- Information You Provide.
We receive and store
information you enter.
For example, when you search for or buy a product or service, or
when you supply information such as your address, phone number
or credit card. You can choose not to provide certain
information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of
some of our features. We
use the information that you provide for such purposes as
responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for
you, improving our website, and communicating with you.
In addition, if you choose, we may share your information
with other companies who provide goods or services that you are
interested in. Please
see the “opt-in/opt-out” selection in Section 4 of this policy.
- Cookies. Like many websites, we use
"cookies". Cookies are
small programs that we transfer to your hard drive that allow us
to recognize you and to provide you with a customized shopping
experience. If you do
not want us to use cookies, you can easily disable them by going
to the toolbar of your web browser, and clicking on the “help”
button. Follow the
instructions that will prevent the browser from accepting
cookies, or set the browser to inform you when you receive a new
cookie. In addition, you
may visit this and other websites anonymously through the use of
utilities provided by other private companies.
- Other Information: Every computer
has an IP (Internet Protocol) address.
IP addresses of computers used to visit this site are
noted. In addition, we
automatically collect other information such as email addresses,
browser types, operating systems, and the URL addresses of sites
clicked to and from this site.
- Information from Other Sources.
We might receive information about you from other sources
and add it to our account information.
This may include updated delivery and address information
from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our
records and deliver your next purchase or communication more
easily.
2.
How Do We Use Your Information?
- Customized Shopping.
We use your information to better serve you by
providing a customized shopping experience.
As noted above, you may “opt-out” of this customization,
or even visit and shop anonymously.
- Agents. We employ other companies
and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, and
processing credit card payments. They have access to personal
information needed to perform their functions, but may not use
it for other purposes.
- Special Offers.
We may send you special offers from time to time, unless
you choose to “opt-out” of receiving such offers.
In addition, we may also send you special offers from
other companies. Again,
you may “opt-out”. If we
send you offers from other businesses, we do not share your
personal information with them.
The offers come directly through us.
Please see the “opt-in/opt-out” selection at the end of
this policy.
- Business Transfers. As we continue
to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets.
In such transactions, customer information generally is one of
the transferred business assets. Also, in the unlikely event
that we are acquired, customer information will be one of the
transferred assets.
- Law Enforcement.
If we receive a lawful court order to release account
or other personal information then we will comply with the law.
We will also release information when necessary to
protect the life, safety or property of others. This includes
exchanging information with other companies and organizations
for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
3.
How Do We Protect the Security of Your Information?
- We work to protect the security of your
information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
- We use encryption to protect your
information contained in our customer list.
- We use a firewall to protect against
unlawful intrusion.
- We limit access to your information on a
“need to know” basis.
- We reveal only the last five digits of
your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we
transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit
card company during order processing.
- It is important for you to protect against
unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be
sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
- No system can guarantee absolute security,
just as the finest lock can not guarantee physical security.
However, we take every reasonable precaution to assure
that your data is secure.
