Collecting your information
Information is collected through the bsalicensing.org Web site. Please note that we may correlate and supplement this data with both aggregate and personally identifiable information gathered from other divisions or companies.

Information collected through our Web site
When you submit a request for application to the bsalicensing.org Web site we collect personally identifiable information, including (but not limited to) your name, physical address, email address, phone numbers, and other information related to a licensing application. All of this information is mandatory for our review process; while you may be able to submit a request without providing required information, we will be unable to accept and review your request to you without it. We may also collect personally identifiable information through other forms, surveys, emails we receive from you, and your other interactions with our Web site.

When you use our Web site we may collect a variety of technical data, which we store in both aggregate and, personally identifiable forms. This data includes (but is not limited to) your IP address (a unique number that identifies your access account on the Internet), domain, and Web browser information. We may track the page you visited before coming to the bsalicensing.org Web site and the page you link to when you leave the bsalicensing.org Web site, which of our pages you access, and how long you spend on each page.

We do not allow third parties to collect aggregate and other anonymous information about our visitors through the bsalicensing.org Web site. Nor do we sell, trade or otherwise exchange personal information you provide with any third party.

Finally, note that our Web site may contain links to other Web sites on the Internet. Please remember that when you click on one of these links, you are leaving our Web site and entering another. Again, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other Web sites, and encourage you to read their privacy statements (which may differ from ours).

Using your information
This section describes how we use and disclose the information we collect. We use aggregate information about your behavior and computer equipment to improve the performance of our Web site, and to evaluate your reaction to the content and design of our Web site.

We may also use personally identifiable and aggregate information for a variety of marketing and promotional purposes.

We do not intentionally share your personally identifiable information, except as required by law or in cases where it is necessary to share this information to investigate any incident of misuse or abuse of our Web site, server or other information systems.

From time to time we may send you emails related to your bsalicensing.org Web site accounts.
