How the Website collects information about you

​

You may use features of the Website without providing personal information about yourself. However, certain tools and services on the Website require you to complete forms or questionnaires and provide certain personal information. If you use the site without taking advantage of any of these features, the only information we collect will be non-personal information (i.e., information that does not identify you). If you do provide personal information on the Website, this Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use that information. Remember that you are responsible for the accuracy of the information you submit. Incorrect information will affect the usefulness of the information you receive when using the Website.

Non-personal information we collect about you

​

We may collect non-personal information about your use of the Website and your use of links to other websites through the use of cookies. When you visit the Website, we send text files known as “cookies” to your computer or other device. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other personal information unless you choose to provide this information to us. However, once you provide personal information on the Website, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Most browser software can be set to reject cookies. If you reject our cookies, certain of the functions and conveniences of the Website may not work properly, but you may still use the Website. As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as "clickstream data," can be collected and stored by a website's server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to this website.

Third party service providers

​

Third party contractors may sometimes have limited access to your personal information in the course of providing products or services to Bisota. These contractors include vendors and suppliers that provide us with technology, services (such as website hosting), and/or content related to operation and maintenance of the Website. Access to your personal information by these contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the contractor to perform its function for Bisota. Bisota will also require that our operations and maintenance contractors protect the privacy of personal information consistent with this Privacy Policy.

​

Applicability of this privacy policy

​

This Privacy Policy does not apply to content, business information, ideas, concepts, or inventions that you send to Bisota by email or by use of the Website contact function. If you want to keep content, business information, ideas, concepts, or inventions private or proprietary, do not send them in an email to Bisota or post them in any public forum.

​

How Bisota handles privacy and security

​

The Website and database servers are hosted in a secured physical and network environment maintained by a third party hosting provider. Reasonable efforts are made to secure web servers, networks, host operating systems, and databases against unauthorized access. We use a variety of security measures to protect personal information when stored or transmitted by Bisota. Despite Bisota's efforts to protect your personal information, there is always a risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the Internet will be intercepted. Bisota cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit over the Internet and you do so at your own risk. No security measures are foolproof; and Bisota cannot guarantee that information will be protected in all situations. We will make reasonable efforts to protect your personal information from unauthorized access.

​

Changes to this privacy policy

​

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time by posting revisions to our Website. Your use of this Website means that you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy and your continued use after such changes are posted means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
