WEBSITE VISITORS

Like most website operators, BVEIC collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. BVEIC’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how BVEIC’s visitors use its website. From time to time, BVEIC may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

BVEIC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blog. BVEIC only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

Certain visitors to BVEIC’s websites choose to interact with BVEIC in ways that require BVEIC to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that BVEIC gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.  Those who engage in transactions with BVEIC are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, BVEIC collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with BVEIC. BVEIC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

AGGREGATED STATISTICS

BVEIC may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, BVEIC may monitor the most popular blogs on the WordPress.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. BVEIC may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, BVEIC does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

BVEIC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on BVEIC’s behalf or to provide services available at BVEIC’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using BVEIC’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. BVEIC will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, BVEIC discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when BVEIC believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of BVEIC, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an BVEIC website and have supplied your email address, BVEIC may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with BVEIC and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. BVEIC takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

COOKIES

As with most websites, we use cookies, web beacons, and other online information-gathering tools in connection with our site. These tools are intended to make our site easier to use by, among other things, saving your preferences for you. A cookie is a small file stored by your internet browser on your computer. We may use either a "session cookie" and/or a "persistent cookie". A "session cookie" stores temporary information that is erased when you close your web browser or turn off your computer. A "persistent cookie" enables our site to recognize you when you return to it and remains stored on your computer until you delete it. We may also use cookies to deliver content tailored to your interests. We do not have access to or control over web beacons or cookies may be used by our third party service providers.

The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of Bon-Vivant's essential features; if you set your browser to limit or remove cookies or otherwise block our use of cookies, some features of the site may be unavailable or unable to function properly.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. BVEIC uses cookies to help BVEIC identify and track visitors, their usage of BVEIC website, and their website access preferences. BVEIC visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using BVEIC’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of BVEIC’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

BUSINESS TRANSFERS

If BVEIC, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that BVEIC goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of BVEIC may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

ADS

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by BVEIC and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
