Privacy Policy

The BBS Agency (or “BBS”) operates several websites including thebbsagency.com, PrebuiltSites.com, and fishnetics.com. It is The BBS Agency’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, The BBS Agency collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The BBS Agency’s purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use our website. From time to time, The BBS Agency may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our website.

The BBS Agency also collects potentially personally-identifying-information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users. The BBS Agency only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to The BBS Agency’s websites choose to interact with The BBS Agency in ways that require The BBS Agency to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that The BBS Agency gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at thebbsagency.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with The BBS Agency – by purchasing access to our service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including, as necessary, the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, The BBS Agency collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with The BBS Agency. The BBS Agency does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

The BBS Agency may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. The BBS Agency may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, The BBS Agency does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

The BBS Agency discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on The BBS Agency’s behalf or to provide services available at The BBS Agency’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using The BBS Agency’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. The BBS Agency will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, The BBS Agency discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when The BBS Agency believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of The BBS Agency, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a The BBS Agency website and have supplied your email address, The BBS Agency may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with The BBS Agency and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. The BBS Agency takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. The BBS Agency uses cookies to help The BBS Agency identify and track visitors, their usage of The BBS Agency website, and their website access preferences. The BBS Agency visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using The BBS Agency’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of The BBS Agency’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If The BBS Agency, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that The BBS Agency goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of The BBS Agency may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

We do not currently show ads. However, we may in the future, and ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by The BBS Agency and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, The BBS Agency may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and changes are in The BBS Agency’s sole discretion. The BBS Agency encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a thebbsagency.com account, you should also check your dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
