When accessing our Website, The Bedinger Group (BGI) will learn certain information about you during your visit. How we will handle information we learn about you depends upon what you do when visiting our site.
If you visit our site to read or download information on our pages, we collect and store only the following information about you:
1. The name of the domain from which you access the Internet;
2. The date and time you access our site; and
3. The Internet address of the website you used to link directly to our site.
If you identify yourself by sending us an e-mail containing personal information, then the information collected will be solely used to respond to your message.
The information collected is for statistical purposes. BGI uses software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, BGI uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.
BGI will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide such information to us, nor will such information be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection.
The Website may provide links to third-party Web sites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the BGI Website. Akonix does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from BGI's. We do not endorse or make any representations about third party Websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the BGI Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information.
BGI may collect certain personal information from customers, business partners, employees and candidates for employment. BGI will only use this personal information to provide customers and business partners with information and services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to deliver products/services to you, to bill you for products/services you purchased, and to provide ongoing service and support. Occasionally we may use your information to contact you to complete surveys that we use for marketing and quality assurance purposes.
BGI honors the confidentiality of its customers’ private communications in e-mail. BGI does not read or disclose private email communications (i.e., not to BGI) except to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order, to protect the company’s rights and property, or during emergencies when we believe physical safety is at risk.
BGI discloses information, such as log files, in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action. BGI discloses information that we in good faith believe is appropriate to cooperate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity, or to conduct investigations of violations of our user agreements. For example, this means that if we conduct a fraud investigation and conclude that one side has engaged in deceptive practices, we can give that person or entity's contact information (but not bank account or credit card information) to victims who request it.
BGI may share your personal information with third parties in responding to your requests for products or services or product evaluations. Also, we may on occasion allow selected partners to send you special offers in blind mailings. If you request information on any of our products/services, BGI may provide your information to third party distributors and resellers who may subsequently contact you directly to purchase such products/services.
BGI will not sell or lease your personal information to others. Personal information given to BGI may be transferred across state and country borders for data consolidation, storage and simplified information management. Except as provided in this Statement, BGI does not use your personal information for a purpose other than the stated purpose for which such information is collected.
