Safeguarding Your Information
We follow applicable laws and requirements to protect your information. Among other things, BMR Marketing has adopted physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards that are designed to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, theft, unauthorized access, or unauthorized disclosure. We evaluate these safeguards on an ongoing basis to help minimize risks from new security threats as they become known. However, as is the case with all websites, we unfortunately are not able to guarantee 100% security for data collected through our public websites.
Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Our websites are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. BMR Marketing does not market any of its products online for children under the age of 13, nor does BMR Marketing design its online applications, advertisements and other features to attract an audience of children under the age of 13. Although certain pages within the website may reference “kids,” “children,” or “students,” BMR Marketing strictly intends for such portions of the website to be used only by adults (such as parents and teachers) or children of the age 13 or older. BMR Marketing adheres to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and does not knowingly register or otherwise collect personally identifiable information from any child under the age of 13 without the prior verifiable consent of the child’s parent or guardian. However, we are allowed to collect personal information from a child for the one-time purpose of responding to an inquiry, answering an email, or seeking Verifiable Parental Consent at the request of the child under the age of 13.
BMR Marketing does not sell or share information obtained from minors with any third parties for their own use. The third parties who may have access are those assisting us with or co-sponsoring our website fulfillments, such as for purposes of filling orders or processing payments. We do not share a child’s information with blogs or other sites where the information would be publically accessible.
If BMR Marketing should inadvertently collect information from a child under the age of 13, we delete that information, except to the extent needed to seek Verifiable Parental Consent from the minor’s parent or legal guardian. When Verifiable Parental Consent is obtained, we collect only that personal information from a minor that is relevant to the registration or purchase. We protect the information with security safeguards and confidentiality measures that are commensurate with the sensitivity of the information. Parents or legal guardians have the right to review their child’s personal information, delete it, or withdraw permission to allow further collection or use of that information.
Update, Modify or Correct Your Information
BMR Marketing takes reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is accurate and up-to-date for the purposes for which it was collected. We encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if you believe that any information that we have collected about you is inaccurate. Consistent with legal requirements and limitations, BMR Marketing also permits you to obtain a copy of personal information that we hold about you. To do so, please email us at webmaster@BMRMarketing.com
Please note that we will likely require additional information from you in order to honor the request, such as to ensure proper authentication or to verify the BMR Marketing company to which the information was provided.
Right to Unsubscribe
You have the right to unsubscribe from any services that we offer, if you no longer want to participate. To do so, please use our Contact Us link on this site for additional information, or email us at webmaster@BMRMarketing.com.
