Our Commitment to Online Privacy
Your right to privacy is important. At BayApps we believe that personal information you choose to furnish online should only be used to help us provide you with the highest quality of products, services and support. We display this Privacy Statement to make you aware of the information practices for BayApps Web sites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. We may update our Privacy Statement from time to time to stay current with changes in our business and to better serve you. We encourage you to visit this page frequently to inform yourself of any changes.
This Privacy Statement covers BayApps’s family of corporate Web sites generally. These Web sites are operated by BayApps Inc. from its facilities in the United States. Some of our subsidiaries or programs have their own, possibly different, policies. We encourage you to read this privacy policy and those of all Web sites you visit.
Consent to Use and Transfer Personal Data
Please note that if you submit personal data through the BayApps Web sites, you will send it to us (BayApps Inc.), in the United States. We will collect, process and transfer your personal data in accordance with this Data Privacy Statement but possibly not in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which your reside. By submitting your personal data through a BayApps Web site you consent to BayApps’s collection, use, storage and transfer of your personal data to our company databases and other repositories, wherever located, for the purposes for which it is submitted and in accordance with the policies set forth in this Privacy Statement.
Types of Data Collected Online
You can browse most of our Web sites without entering any personal information. Only general, non-personally identifiable information that BayApps logs from all site visits, such as Internet service provider, operating system/browser type, and pages accessed, will be collected in those instances. This means that a user’s session will be tracked, but the user will not be individually identified.
There are times, however, when we or our business partners (such as our external service providers identified below) may need information from you.
For example, you may choose to give us personal information when you:
- Access or register for access on some of our Web sites
- Purchase products or services
- Make requests for materials, customer and other services, and product support, repairs and upgrades
- Subscribe to newsletters and online services
- Enter BayApps-sponsored contests, sweepstakes and other promotions
- Create a user profile to receive future information, special offers and communications.
- Apply to be considered for employment in connection with a job opening at BayApps.
At such times you may be asked to provide contact and billing information (e.g., your name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number and expiration date). Demographic or other personal information may also be requested, however, volunteering such information is optional. By providing the information to BayApps you consent to our transfer of this information to our company databases and other repositories, wherever located.
Use of Data
BayApps uses personal information collected on its Web sites for the purposes for which it is requested or as necessary or permissible under applicable law. We also may use the information you provide to notify you later about new developments with respect to the products and services you have purchased or to inform you about new products, special offers and services offered by BayApps, its subsidiaries and affiliates or its business partners. It is important to note that you may opt out of receiving further information from BayApps, as discussed in detail below. We use non-personal information to analyze sales trend data as it relates to geography, time and demographics.
Specific uses of personal information that vary from this Privacy Statement (if any) may be found in the Terms of Use or privacy policies applicable to a particular service, contest or promotion. To the extent that you are notified of potential uses of your personal information that are different from those described in this Privacy Policy during your service agreement with us or enrollment in a particular contest or promotion, the uses of information set forth in that agreement, contest or promotion will supersede this Privacy Policy. Please review carefully the Terms of Use and privacy policies applicable to the service(s) that you have purchased or the contests or promotions for which you sign-up or in which you participate.
With Whom We Share Information
In the ordinary course of business BayApps will not sell, trade or rent your individual identifying information to others absent your consent to do so. BayApps may share the personal data you provide online with BayApps Companies and as described below:
- Affiliated Companies and Business Partners. We work together with affiliated companies and business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described above. For example, an external service provider listed below may host or operate an online BayApps service, or process credit card transactions. When an affiliated company or one of our business partners is involved in a transaction with you, we may share personal identifying information related to this transaction.
- Mergers and Reorganizations. In the event of a corporate reorganization, such as a merger, acquisition or sale or transfer of assets by BayApps outside the normal course of business, customer information may be transferred to third parties.
- Other Situations. Finally, BayApps may release personal identifying information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with law, (ii) enforce or apply the terms of our user agreements (e.g., BayApps Web site Terms of Use), or (iii) to protect the rights, property or safety of BayApps, our Web site users, or others.
Links
Please note that our Web sites may contain links to other sites. When you access a third party’s Web site, even one that may contain the BayApps logo and content regarding BayApps’s products and services, please understand that the Web site is independent of BayApps. We do not control the privacy policies of any third party sites. If you click-through a banner ad or link to a third party site and submit your information, you will be subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We assume no responsibility or liability for any third party policies or the actions of third parties. A link to a third-party Web site is not an endorsement.
Choice
BayApps will not share personal identifying information provided to us online except as stated above without allowing you the opportunity of consenting to or opting out of such disclosures. When you place an order for BayApps products, register as a user of BayApps products, services or promotions, or when you submit a user profile you are given the opportunity of notifying us as to whether you would like to receive future information, special offers and communications via email. All unsolicited email marketing and promotional communications contain an opportunity for you to decline future communications. Additionally, at any time you can opt-out of receiving such further information from BayApps by sending your opt-out request to admin@bayappsinc.com. BayApps will use its best efforts to comply promptly with all such requests.
Cookies and Options for Controlling Use of Your Personal Information
Cookies are small pieces of information stored in your browser on you computer’s hard drive. Some BayApps pages use cookies, sent by BayApps or its third-party agents, to better serve you when you return to the site. If you prefer not to receive cookies you have the option of setting your browser to warn you before accepting cookies or to reject them altogether. If you do so, however, some areas of some sites may not function properly.
You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personal information online in a public area, such information can be collected and used by others. We do not control the actions of our visitors and registered users. If you disclose personal information in a review, bulletin board or any other publicly accessible portion of a BayApps Web site, you do so at your own risk and you understand that your submitted information may be collected and used by others to send you unsolicited messages or advertisements, or for other purposes. Please remember that protection of your privacy begins with you. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any password you use, and you should always be careful and responsible whenever disclosing information online. Although we will use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made by means of the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. BayApps assumes no liability for the disclosure of data due to errors in transmission or actions of unauthorized third parties. BayApps cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services.
