Best Adsense Template (“BAT”) Online Privacy Policy (Last updated Dec 20, 2006)

BAT has established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and manages the personal information that it collects from you (the customer) online. 

 

1.

Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure

Your use of the BAT site and/or your registration for BAT products and services constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the BAT site.

BAT may occasionally update this Privacy Policy.  When it does, BAT will also revise the “last update” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.  In addition, BAT will seek a customer’s prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed disclosures of information collected from the customer prior to the change.  BAT will notify customers by email of changes to this policy that will affect information collected from them in the future.  In certain circumstances, however, BAT will not inform and obtain the consent of the customer, such as in connection with an investigation of a breach of an agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a law enforcement agency or a court order.

A customer may withdraw his or her consent for collection, use and disclosure at any time by clicking the unsubscribed link included in every single email.  Please note that, if you do, BAT may suspend its provision of products and services to you.  When you unsubscribe, if you fall within the guarantee period for any BAT product and you request a refund, the guarantee will be honored. 

2.

Accountability

BAT collects, at the time of your registration and your sign-on to its web site, certain “personal information” (information that personally identifies you) including but not limited to your name, email address, home or work address, telephone number, and information about your computer hardware and software (e.g., IP address, operating system, browser type, domain name, URL, access times, and referring web site addresses).

BAT has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal information received from its customers, and to respond to any inquiries.  The Privacy Policy also provides that BAT will use appropriate contractual means to establish a comparable level of protection for personal information which is sent for processing by third parties on BAT’s behalf. 

BAT has designated responsibility for your personal information to its company, who ensures compliance with the principles in this Privacy Policy.  Other BAT individuals may be delegated to act on behalf of the company.

(b)

to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for our customers;

 

(c)   to fulfill your requests for products, services or information;

 

(d)

to communicate with customers and site visitors, when necessary, and to inform customers of upgrades, as well as of other products and services available from BAT, its affiliates and third parties;

 

(e)

to allow customers to access limited-entry areas of BAT’s site;

 

(f)

to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver targeted advertisements and offers from BAT and third parties;

to identify and resolve technical problems concerning BAT’s site, products and services.

BAT also uses personal information in an aggregate form (i.e., not individually attributable to you) for its business analysis, operational, marketing and other promotional purposes.

If we hire other companies to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies the personal information they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their rights to use and further disclose your personal information as appropriate in the course of their work for us.

4.

Limiting the Collection of Personal Information

BAT limits its collection of personal information to only that information which is necessary for the Identified Purposes.  BAT does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen.

When you visit the BAT web site, a cookie may be placed on your computer or the cookie may be read if you have visited the BAT site previously.  BAT uses cookies to allow BAT to determine which products and services you have already purchased so that BAT does not provide redundant information to you, and, if you are an BAT affiliate, to track BAT sales made to customers referred by you so that you can receive compensation under our affiliate program.  If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the BAT web site, you may not be able to view all the text on the screens, or to experience a personalised visit, or to subscribe to certain service and product offerings on the BAT site.

5.

Disclosure, Processing and Retention

BAT does not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to anyone else, except:

(a)

to someone you have designated to act as your agent, for one or more of the Identified Purposes (listed in Section 2, above);

 

(b)

to BAT’s employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, consultants, business associates, service providers, suppliers and agents, acting on BAT’s behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;

 

(c)

as necessary if BAT has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with BAT’s rights or property, other users of BAT’s web site, products or services, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; and

 

(d)

to respond to judicial process and provide information to law enforcement agencies or in connection with an investigation on matters related to public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required by law.

In addition, as we continue to develop our business, we or our affiliates may sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge with another company.  In such transactions, personal information may be one of the transferred business assets.  Also, in the event that BAT or substantially all of its assets are acquired, your personal information may be one of the transferred assets.

Your information may be stored and processed in the United States, or in any other country in which BAT or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities.  By using this web site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. 

After your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from our database), BAT will keep your personal information in its archives.  Your information will then be used only as necessary for tax reasons or to prove BAT’s compliance with any applicable law.

6.

Accuracy of Personal Information

BAT will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal information accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the possibility of making inappropriate customer decisions based on such information.  Customers are responsible for informing BAT about changes to their personal information.  You can do this by calling +44 208 570 2554 or sending an email to colin AT bestadsensetemplates.com. BAT will use new or updated personal information it receives from customers to update its own records. 

7.

Security Safeguards

BAT will use reasonable efforts to protect customers’ personal information.

8.

Access to Personal Information

BAT will afford you a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information in your file, if you so request by calling +44 208 570 2554, writing to:

Dr. Colin Fu
144 Cranford Lane.
TW5 9HE, United Kingdom
 

... or upon request by sending an email to colin AT bestadsensetemplates.com.

If BAT is not able to provide access to some aspect of a customer’s personal information, it will provide reasons for denying access such as; that by doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party, or that it is confidential commercial information or attorney–client privileged communications, or that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual.

Customers have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be amended as appropriate, by contacting BAT or the Privacy Officer as described above.  BAT will promptly correct such personal information.
