Privacy Policy
I. Information We Collect:
A. Personally Identifiable Information.
Business Force One collects personally identifiable. The collection of this information is a part of our normal business practices. Clients or their representatives, will be asked to provide personally identifiable data through the host sign up and registration process. Examples of personally identifiable data that may be requested include name, address, phone number, email address, social security number, tax ID number, credit card number, etc. Business Force One will never request or collect data from a Client on subject areas including medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic origin; political, religious or philosophical beliefs or affiliations; trade union membership or sex life.
B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Business Force One may use cookies and log files to optimize and personalize the Clients’ experience and allow Business Force One to monitor site traffic patterns.
II. Information Sharing
Business Force One does not use any personally identifiable data about a Client for profiling purposes. All personally identifiable information that Business Force One collects from Clients is principally intended for administration needs (e.g., accounting and pay-out), for which purpose such data are required.
Periodically Business Force One may use Clients’ personally identifiable information in order to communicate via email newsletters or other avenues to offer information and other communications to assist in business related activities. In the event that a Client wishes not to have their personally identifiable information used for these purposes, they may elect to opt-out from future communications. For more information on opting-out please see the “Client Choice And Access” section below.
Except as may be agreed between Business Force One and a Client, all personally identifiable information data provided by individual Clients will be kept in strict confidence by Business Force One and will be treated with the same level of respect and care that they treat other proprietary information and trade secrets. Business Force One will never sell, rent, exchange or barter any personally identifiable Client information to or with any third party for financial gain or marketing purposes. Business Force One may, from time to time, provide such information to certain third-party administrative vendors for efficiency purposes in providing administrative or program management services such as billing, delivery and payouts. Any third-party vendor so used has agreed to protect the confidentiality of information provided by Business Force One.
Business Force One may release account and any other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply with the law or protect the rights, property, or safety of Business Force One or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
III. Client Choice And Access
When a Client registers for services with Business Force One, personally identifiable information is required as a part of doing business. Business Force One’s primary intent in collecting personally identifiable information is for administrative purposes including accounting and payouts. However, Business Force One may periodically use personally identifiable information for marketing and communication purposes targeted to our Clients. Clients wishing not to receive such communications from Business Force One may do so by “opting-out” during the registration and application procedure process. A Client may change their “opt” status at anytime during their tenure with Business Force One by accessing their online account.
When a Client logs on any browser-based Business Force One reporting system, a “Cookie” is placed within their computer. The purpose of the Cookie is to allow Business Force One to validate the identity of the Client and maintain the security and privacy of the Client’s account data. This Cookie is required to log into Business Force One’s reporting systems and there is no method to opt-out of this Cookie.
IV. Security
Business Force One employs industry standard security measures to ensure the security of all data. Any data that is stored on Business Force One’s servers is treated as proprietary and confidential and is not available to the public. Business Force One has an internal security policy with respect to the confidentiality of Client data, allowing access only to those employees or third parties who have a need to know such information. Business Force One routinely evaluates its data security practices to identify security threats or opportunities for improvement.
No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Business Force One to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, Business Force One cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You acknowledge and assume this risk when communicating with Business Force One.
