BGCH, like most major websites on the Internet, uses cookies (text files placed on your hard drive by a web server) to assist in personalizing and maximizing your experience and time spent online on BGCH’s Websites. Cookies are not employed to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

The cookies are also used by BGCH to improve the Website experience of its users and visitors and to facilitate the optimum use of BGCH’s Websites by you.
Services that are Location-Based

In order to provide location-based services, it may be necessary for BGCH to collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your computer or device. Where available, location-based services are likely to use GPS, Bluetooth, and your IP (Internet Protocol) Address, along with crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations, as well as other technologies to determine the precise location of your device within the limits of the available technology. Unless you have provided consent, such location data is collected anonymously in a form that does not personally identify you, the user, and is employed to provide location-based services to visitors and users of BGCH’s Websites.
As an example, if your device shares its geographic location with a Service, that Service may select and display properties relative to the location of the device. Some location-based services may also require your personal information for the service to be provided successfully.
Links

BGCH’s Websites may contain links to other third-party websites on the Internet. BGCH is not responsible for the privacy practices and policies of sites other than its own. BGCH encourages you to be aware of the privacy statements on other third-party websites and to read those statements carefully before proceeding to use such websites.
Protection of Website Information

Some areas of BGCH’s Websites are secured and can only be accessed using unique login credentials. As a user you must have a specific user identifier (user ID or username) and password to access resources through any password-protected portions of the Websites. Your login credentials and password are for your personal use only and strictly confidential and must not be shared as it could lead to your personal information being compromised. Further, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of the login credentials, and are responsible for all activity occurring on the Websites on the basis of your login credentials and password.

Third-Party Data Collection and Online Tracking

BGCH uses service providers such as Google Analytics (a service of Google, Inc. and Alphabet Inc.) to help analyze, understand and improve the usage of the Websites and the effectiveness of its marketing and outreach efforts. BGCH, Google Analytics, and/or BGCH’s other analytics providers may use cookies, your IP address or an anonymous identifier, as well as certain information from your browser, together with other non-personal information about your visitations to the Websites (including information like page views and visit times; app store views; app downloads; user engagement information like active devices and location; app crashes; and behavior metrics) and other websites, so that BGCH, Google Analytics, or third parties may improve the Websites and provide you with advertisements about goods and services of interest to you on the Websites and other websites (including through search engine results pages) and/or to provide BGCH analytical information about our Websites. If you would like to learn more about advertising networks, including choices about the use of information by Google Analytics and other companies for multi-site advertising purposes, please go to www.networkadvertising.org and www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Additionally, Google offers a Google Analytics browser add-on (designed to be compatible only with certain browsers) to provide website visitors the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics. This may also be referred to generally as Incognito mode and this designation may change from over time. This is a feature of some web browsers and you should contact the browser provider for more information.
Currently, various Internet browsers offer an option “do not track” or “DNT” option that uses a DNT header to indicate the DNT preference setting on the browser. BGCH does not track your activity over time and across different websites or online services other than as set forth herein, and we do not currently respond to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to the Websites.
Social Media; Third-Party Applications

The collection and use of information on social media websites and applications are governed solely by their own privacy policies and terms. Please remember that any information posted on or through the BGCH pages such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or on other social media pages or channels, is subject to the policies and practices of the applicable social media channel, and not BGCH’s.
BGCH may receive personal information from a social media site platform or application when you connect through a social media feed, post content, or otherwise interact with us using social media tools. As an illustration, BGCH may receive basic Facebook account information (name, email, gender, birthday, current city, and profile picture URL) through Facebook. Also, when you click “like” us, or send a “Tweet” to us through a social media channel, we may receive your username, handle, and any other available personal information from the social media site or application. All such information received from social media sites and applications is treated and used in the same manner and for the same purposes as described in this Policy with respect to similar information we obtain through the Site.

We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the collection, storage, and use of personal information of minors under the age of 18, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. BGCH’s Websites are not directed at minors who are under eighteen years of age. BGCH’s Websites are business oriented and are designed to serve adult population in the United States of America who can legally enter into contracts. This automatically excludes minors as BGCH’s target audience.
We do not collect personal information from minors under the age of 18. Individuals under the age of 18 are not permitted to use the Websites without the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

However, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network, whether encrypted ot not, can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure from a persistent hacker’s efforts.

Jurisdiction-specific Provisions and New Laws

Should you be a resident of any such jurisdiction, this policy is hereby deemed to be amended as appropriate to comply with any such state or jurisdiction laws. Moreover, to the extent there is any conflict between this Privacy Policy and any and all privacy requirements under the law, including the CCPA and laws that may be enacted after this policy was created and updated, this Privacy Policy is to be deemed amended and updated to automatically conform with any and all such legal requirements.
