2. How we share Personal Customer Information with Third Parties

BDS shares Personal Customer Information that we collect as follows:

Subcontractors. We send Personal Customer Information to third-party subcontractors and agents that work on our behalf to provide certain services. These third parties do not have the right to use the Personal Customer Information beyond what is necessary to assist us. They are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of the Personal Customer Information and are restricted from using such information in any way not expressly authorized by BDS.

Law Enforcement Investigations. BDS may release Personal Customer Information when we believe, in our good judgment, that such release is reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce or apply the terms of any of our policies or user agreements, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BDS, our users, or others.

3. Communications from BDS

As a BDS customer, you may receive the following communications from BDS:

Any BDS customer for who receives such communications can opt-out from the receipt of any such communications by emailing us at customerservice@bamboodatasystems.com.

4. Information Security

We work to protect the security of your credit information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. When confirming an order, we reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to the password and to your computer.

5. Changes to Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is dated March 2006. BDS reserves the right to modify or amend this policy at any time by posting the revised Privacy Policy on the ViewOMT Site.
