Information Disclosure Required by Law
Under certain circumstances Personal Information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders, or in coordination with regulatory authorities. You acknowledge and agree that BLC is free to preserve and disclose any and all Personal Information to law enforcement agencies or others if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal or regulatory process (such as a judicial proceeding, court order, or government inquiry) or obligations that BLC may owe pursuant to ethical and other professional rules, laws, and regulations; (b) enforce the BrainWare Terms of Service; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of BLC, its employees, its users, its clients, and the public. In the event we are required by law to make a disclosure, we will notify you through the contact information you have provided to us in advance, unless doing so would violate the law or a court order.
Account Closure
If you no longer wish to participate in our Services, you may close your account by sending a request to BrainWare@mybrainware.com. When you request us to delete your account for the Service, any personally identifiable data will be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to your account will not be possible. We retain limited Registration Information related to your order history (e.g., name, contact, and transaction data) for accounting and compliance purposes. However, portions of your data, consisting of aggregate data derived from your Account Information, may remain on our production servers indefinitely. Your data may also remain on a backup server or media. BLC keeps these backups to ensure our continued ability to provide the Service to you in the event of malfunction or damage to our primary production servers. We also reserve the right to use any aggregated or anonymous data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information.
If your Personal Information changes, you may correct or update your Registration Information by contacting us at BrainWare@mybrainware.com.
Newsletter and Email Communications
We provide our clients with periodic updates and email alerts. We also allow users to subscribe to email newsletters and webinar invitations and from time to time may transmit emails promoting BLC or third-party goods or services. Subscribers have the ability to opt-out of receiving our promotional emails and to terminate their newsletter subscriptions by following the instructions in the emails. Opting out in this manner will not end transmission of service-related emails, such as email alerts.
Security
BLC takes seriously the trust you place in us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, BLC uses a range of reasonable physical, technical, and administrative measures to safeguard your Personal Information, in accordance with current technological and industry standards. In particular, all connections to and from our website are encrypted from the time you submit your Login ID and Password. This enables client and server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery.
We use a combination of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures, among others, to maintain the security of your online session and to protect client accounts and systems from unauthorized access.
When you register for the Service, BLC requires a password from you for your privacy and security.
Our servers are in a secure facility. Access requires multiple levels of authentication, including biometrics recognition procedures. Security personnel monitor the system 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
Our databases are protected from general employee access both physically and logically. All backup drives and tapes also are encrypted.
Please recognize that protecting your Personal Information is also your responsibility. We ask you to be responsible for safeguarding your password, secret questions and answers, and other authentication information you use to access our Services. You should not disclose your authentication information to any third party and should immediately notify BLC of any unauthorized use of your password. BLC cannot secure Personal Information that you release on your own or that you request us to release.
However, it is important to understand that these precautions apply only to our Site and systems. We exercise no control over how your information is stored, maintained or displayed by third parties or on third-party sites.
Children
BLC does not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not give us any personal data. If you have reason to believe that a child under 13 has provided personal data to BLC, please contact us, and we will try to delete that information from our databases.
We do collect and store personal data regarding children under the age of 13 when that data is provided by a parent, a clinician or a school in order for them to have access to our programs and for services to be provided to such children. The data is only used for that purpose.
Links to Other Sites
This Privacy and Security Statement applies only to BLC’s websites. BLC’s websites may contain hyperlinks to websites that are not operated by BLC. These hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of the activities of these third-party websites or any association with their operators. BLC does not control these websites and is not responsible for their data practices. We urge you to review the privacy policy posted on any website you visit before using the site or providing any personal data about yourself.
Business Transitions
In the event that BLC goes through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your Personal Information will likely be among the assets transferred. In such a case, your information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy & Security Statement.
