Privacy
BumpAndRun.com Privacy Policy – Updated August 1, 2009
This document outlines our Privacy Policy for visitors to our Site.
BumpAndRun.com values your trust and respects your expectation of privacy. As such, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information.
“Personal information” is information that you provide to us which personally identifies you, such as your name, email address or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by BumpAndRun.com.
BumpAndRun.com does not sell your personal information to telemarketers, direct-mail vendors, or other marketing agencies without your explicit consent. We and our users do not tolerate spam.
Visitors to Our Site.
Visitors to our Site remain anonymous, unless they register for a service or otherwise elect to disclose their identity to us. Although we do not collect personally identifying information about persons who simply visit our site, we may collect certain limited information about visitors, such as their IP address (a numeric address assigned automatically to computers when they access the Internet).
Cookies.
We may place “cookies” on a computer to track a visitor’s use of our Site. A cookie is a piece of data that is stored on your hard drive. It takes up very little room on your system and helps us to customize our site and make its navigation easier for you. Your Web browser can be set to inform you when cookies are set or to prevent them from being set. If you elect to prevent cookies from being set, however, some Web functions may not work properly. Unless you register with us for a service, the cookie does not provide us with any personally identifying information about you, such as your name or address.
Google.
We partner with a third-party vendor, Google, to understand more about visitors to our Site. Google uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy. You can also review Google’s Privacy Center for additional information.
We Collect Information About You.
BumpAndRun.com collects personal information when you register for BumpAndRun.com service or otherwise voluntarily provide such information.
You may choose to decline to submit personal information through the BumpAndRun.com Site, in which case you can still explore the BumpAndRun.com Site, but BumpAndRun.com may not be able to provide certain services to you. Some advanced BumpAndRun.com features may, for authentication purposes, require you to submit certain personal information.
We may combine personal information collected from you with information from other BumpAndRun.com services or third parties to provide a better user experience, including customizing content for you. If you submit personal information to us through the BumpAndRun.com Site, we use your personal information to operate, maintain, and provide to you the general and personalized features and functionality of the BumpAndRun.com Site, and to process any flagging activity or correspondence you send to us.
Additionally, we use both your personal information and certain non-personal information (such as anonymous user usage data, cookies, IP addresses, browser type, Google data, etc.) to improve the quality and design of the BumpAndRun.com Site and to create new features, promotions, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, analyzing, and processing user preferences and trends, as well as user activity and communications.
We Limit the Sharing of Information.
We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the BumpAndRun.com service or using the BumpAndRun.com name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
We do not disclose nonpublic personal information about our current or former users except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We Protect Your Information.
We have policies in place that prohibit employees from accessing your personal information unless there is a business reason to do so. We also maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.
Links to Other Sites.
Our Site may feature links to third-party Sites that offer goods, services, or information. Some of these sites may appear as windows within windows at this site. When you click on one of these links, you will be leaving our site and will no longer be subject to this policy. We are not responsible for the information collection practices of the other Sites that you visit and urge you to review their privacy policies before you provide them with any personally identifiable information. Third-party sites may collect and use information about you in a way that is different from this policy.
Services and Advertisements by Third Parties.
Third parties may offer services from time to time at our Site. If you provide them with information, their use of that information will be subject to their privacy policy, if any, and will not be subject to this policy. If you accept third-party goods or services advertised at our Site, the third party may be able to identify that you have a relationship with us (for example, if the offer was made only through our site).
Minors.
We feel strongly about protecting the privacy of children and teenagers. BumpAndRun.com does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for BumpAndRun.com or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on BumpAndRun.com. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at contact@bumpanrun.com.
For persons between the ages of 13 and 18 we suggest you get parental approval before sending any information via the Internet.
For parents of minors using the Internet, we suggest you establish reasonable online rules and an agreement with your children about Internet usage at home or in other places (i.e. at a friend’s house, at school, at the library, etc.).
Changes to This Policy.
We may amend (add to, delete, or change) the terms of this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting a notice of the change (or an amended Privacy Policy) at this Site. When required by law, we will send you a notice of the change. Your continued use of our Site or any online service following notification will constitute your agreement to the revised policy.
