What This Privacy Practice Covers
This Privacy Policy covers
BIBAK SE’s treatment of personally identifiable information that BIBAK SE collects
when you are on the BIBAK SE website and when you use BIBAK SE services
(collected online or in person). It also covers our policy related to BIBAK SE’s
use of official social networking sites.
Information Collection and
Use
BIBAK SE collects
personally identifiable information when you register, use, or purchase certain
BIBAK SE events, products, or services; or if you make a charitable donation to
BIBAK SE online. Personal information is also collected by the social
networking sites where we have a presence in order to connect to our
information, activities, and events on those sites. BIBAK SE collects
personally identifiable information when you register, use, or purchase certain
BIBAK SE events, products, or services; or if you make a charitable donation to
BIBAK SE online. Personal information is also collected by the social
networking sites where we have a presence in order to connect to our
information, activities, and events on those sites.
BIBAK SE also
automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your
browser, including your IP address. BIBAK SE uses information for these general
purposes: to customize the content you see, to fulfill your requests for
certain products and services, and to contact you about special activities, new
products, and fundraising.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
The personally
identifiable information you provide is used by BIBAK SE only for internal
purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription, donation or
registration; analyzing trends and statistics; and informing you of new
products or special promotions. Under no circumstances will BIBAK SE sell,
rent, or give your personal information to anyone or to any company for
marketing purposes.
BIBAK SE will send
personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people
when:
·
We need to share your information to provide the product or
service you have requested.
·
We need to send the information to companies that work on
behalf of BIBAK SEto provide a product or service to you. (Unless we tell you
differently, these companies do not have any rights to use the personally
identifiable information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist
us.)
·
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process.
·
We find that your actions on our websites violate the BIBAK
SE Terms of Service or any of our usage guidelines for specific products or
services.

Whether the information is
collected online or in person, BIBAK SE will not share or sell the personal
information of our donors with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf
of other organizations.
Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences
BIBAK SE gives you the
ability to edit your information and preferences at any time, including whether
you want BIBAK SE to contact you about specials, new products, opportunities to
volunteer, or to donate. You may request deletion of your BIBAK SE account by
sending an email via our Contact Us form.
Security
Your BIBAK SE Account
Information is password-protected for your privacy and security.
In certain areas, BIBAK SE
uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. Security
of credit card numbers and other personal information is a top concern to BIBAK
SE. BIBAK SE’s Online Store has sophisticated encryption and authentication
tools to protect the security of your credit card information, and BIBAK SE will
do its best to protect the security on its systems. Specifically, every page in
BIBAK SE’s Online Store ordering process that requests credit card information
uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, which is designed to render
information unreadable should anyone try to intercept it.
To make sure you are
accessing our secure server before you submit personal financial information,
look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser. If you see an unbroken key
or a closed lock (depending upon your browser), then SSL is active. To
double-check for security, look at the URL or Address line of your browser. If
you have accessed a secure server, the first characters of the address in that
line should change from “http” to “https.” To help ensure that others will not
have access to your credit card information while on BIBAK SE’s Online Store,
please close your browser window when you have finished your visit, especially
if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a
public place.
If you are under 18, you
need parent/guardian permission to use a credit card to make purchases online.
If you are aged 12 or
under, you need parent/guardian permission to access BIBAK SE’s Social
Networking Site.
Children’s Privacy
The Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act and rule (COPPA) protects the personal information of
children under the age of 13. This applies to individually identifiable
information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home
address, email address, telephone number, or any other information that would
allow someone to identify or contact the child. The Act and Rule also cover
other types of information—for example, hobbies, interests, and information
collected through cookies or other types of tracking mechanisms—when they are
tied to individually identifiable information. It is important for you to
understand this law; we encourage you to read more about COPPA at
www.coppa.org.
Note to Parents on Our Privacy Policy
BIBAK SE is committed to
providing a safe, secure, and fun online experience for children who visit our
site. We are dedicated to safeguarding any personal information collected
online and to helping parents and children have positive experiences on the
Internet. Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998,
we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone
under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
Parents can revoke their
consent and ask that information about their children be deleted from the site
by contacting our offices via our Contact Us Form. To do this or to review
personal information collected from children, we must verify the identity of
the requesting parent. When a parent revokes consent, we will stop collecting,
using, or disclosing information from that child. To respect the privacy of
parents, information collected and used for the sole purpose of obtaining
verifiable parental consent or providing notice is not maintained, in
retrievable form, by the site if parental consent is not obtained after a
reasonable time.
BIBAK SE believes it is
good policy to not collect more personally identifiable information from
children under the age of 13 than is necessary for them to participate in our
online activities. In addition, be aware that all sites that are targeted to
children under the age of 13 are prohibited by law from collecting more
information than they need.
Internet Safety Pledge
BIBAK SE encourages
parents and children to read and sign, together, the Internet Safety Pledge. The
link for this pledge is found on the Internet Pledge Page of our website.
Internet Safety Pledges are age-appropriate and provided by the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Submissions
BIBAK SE welcomes children
to learn more about our organization and, where appropriate, participate in
polls and surveys, as well as submit comments, artwork, writings, and other
submissions for posting on our website. For this reason, BIBAK SE follows the
guidelines for interactive electronic media published by the Children’s
Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the Better Business Bureau for pages targeted
to children under the age of 13. However, we encourage that this be done only
with the parent’s knowledge and supervision. Also, for any activities that will
involve public posting, we encourage children to use aliases (e.g., “Bookworm,”
“Skater,” etc.), first names, nicknames, initials, or other alternatives to
their full names or screen names that correspond with their emails.
In keeping with CARU’s
principle regarding respecting and fostering the parents’ roles in providing
guidance for their children, we encourage parents to regularly check and
monitor their children’s use of email and other online activities.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are small text
files that are sent to your browser from a Web server and are stored on your

or ads that are tailored to your interests. By using cookies, information may
be collected without your express knowledge. BIBAK SE does not use cookies to
track your use of our website, although we employ cookies to make your search

of the website, but some portions of our website may not function properly
without cookies.
Links to Other Websites, Social Networks, and Services
This site may be linked to
other sites and services, including social network sites that are not
maintained by BIBAK SE. These websites have their own privacy policies, which
you should review prior to using them. We have no responsibility for linked
websites, and we provide these links solely for the convenience and information
of our visitors.
We do have several pages
and groups officially established for information sharing and networking by our
friends, families, alumni, volunteers, and professionals. These pages are
regularly monitored by staff and volunteers of BIBAK SE. We reserve the right
to delete any submissions that engage in unlawful, illegal, unethical,
discriminatory, disruptive, threatening, or offensive activity or practice. If
any user is found violating local or national Internet policies, the offending
user will be removed or blocked from access to the site or sites. Additionally,
we may report unlawful, illegal, or threatening activity or practice to law
enforcement agencies, as appropriate.
Changes to This Privacy
Policy
BIBAK SE may amend this
policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use
your personal information, we will notify you by posting a prominent
announcement on our pages.
