If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use this site. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these terms at any time. Please check periodically for changes. Your continued use of this site following the posting of changes to these terms will signify your acceptance of the revised terms. They were last updated on march 1, 2010. Your privacy on the internet is important to us. As a part of the operation of this site, we gather certain types of information about users. We want you to know the types of information we gather and what we do with it.
WHAT INFORMATION DOES BIKND COLLECT AND HOW IS IT USED?
E-mail Request for Information - We use links throughout our site to provide you with the opportunity to contact us via e-mail to ask questions, request information and materials, or provide comments and suggestions. We may also request the opportunity to have one of our representatives contact you personally to provide additional information about our products or services. To do so, we may request additional personal information from you, such as your name and telephone number, to help us satisfy your request.
In addition to the information we collect directly from you, we also gather information such as general usage of our Web site, viewing and traffic patterns, customer behavior and other similar information that is not specific to any one person. We use this compiled information, solely for the improvement of our Web site, our product and service offerings, our operations, and our customer service.
DOES BIKND DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS TO OUTSIDE PARTIES?
Biknd does not resell any confidential customer information that is obtained or derived in its marketing efforts. However, we must cooperate fully should a situation arise where we are required by law or legal process to provide information about a customer.
WHY DO YOU NEED MY EMAIL ADDRESS?
We may contact you by email to check the accuracy of supplied information as well as to send you notices about special offers, new products, services, promotions and other similar information. Should you wish not to receive emails from us, please advise us by email. We will respect your wishes in regard to the methods we use to communicate with you.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
"Cookies" are helpful pieces of information that a Web site places on your hard disk about you that make your return visits to the Web site more convenient. For example, Biknd uses cookies to help identify you so that you may access your member benefits quickly and easily. We do not use cookies to collect personal information and we do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer for purposes that are unrelated to the Web site or your interaction with the Web site.
HOW DOES BIKND PROTECT CUSTOMER INFORMATION?
Our Web site is designed to protect your personal information. When you submit sensitive information via the Web site, your information is protected both online and off-line.
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Once we receive your transmission, we use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Biknd does not have access to the information concerning your credit card or other modalities used via PayPal. The protection of your personnel information with regards to the payment on our online store is insured by PayPal. For more information, please refer to PayPal security policies.
DO THESE SAME POLICIES APPLY TO NON-BIKND WEB SITES THAT I ACCESS THROUGH THE BIKND WEB SITE?
We cannot be responsible for their privacy and security practices of non-Biknd Web sites. Our Web sites may contain links to other sites such as our benefit providers. While we believe these sites share a similar commitment to consumer privacy and security, you should review that site’s privacy and security policies when linking to their site.
