Privacy Statement
This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for www.budco.com, the corporate Web site of Budco: The Dialogue Company.
Information Collection and Use
Budco is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Budco collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.
Providing eMail Addresses
When a user provides an eMail address, this information is used to contact users about the services on our site in which they have expressed interest.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user leaves our site, the cookie expires and no longer collects information. If a user rejects the cookie, the user may still view our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We do not share any information gathered from our Web site.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Budco is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Security
This Web site takes precautions to protect user information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, this information is protected both online and offline. When our registration form asks users to enter sensitive information, that data is encrypted and protected with SSL encryption, which we believe to be the best encryption software in the industry. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also protect user information offline. All user information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. In addition, the servers we use to store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
For questions regarding the security of our Web site, send an eMail to marketing@budco.com.
Additional Information/Mailings
When an eMail address is provided, a user will occasionally receive information on products or services, and/or a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we offer the option not to receive these types of communications. Please see "opt out" below.
Opt Out
Users are given the opportunity to "opt out" of receiving information at the point where we ask for the information. For example, a name and eMail address may be required when downloading our brochures, but an opt-out checkbox is available for those not wanting to receive additional information. Opt-out instructions also appear at the bottom of eMails.
Notification of Changes
If we change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Web site so users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If, at any point, we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an eMail. Users can choose whether or not we can use their information in this different, specified manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which it was collected.
