Privacy
Your privacy is important to Bullitproof. So we developed a Privacy
Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let
us know if you have any questions.
Collection and Use of Personal
Information
Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a
single person. You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you
are in contact with Bullitproof or an Bullitproof affiliated company. Bullitproof
and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it
consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information
to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising. Here are
some examples of the types of personal information Bullitproof may collect and how
we may use it.
What Information We Collect
When you, register on our site, apply for commercial credit, purchase a product
or service, download a software update, register for a newsletter, participate in
an online survey, or join the Bullitproof Network, we may collect a variety of information,
including, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, phone number, email address,
contact preferences, and credit information.
In Canada, we may ask for your Social Insurance Number (SIN), Driver's
License, and Birth Certificate but only in limited circumstances, such as when determining
whether to extend personal or commercial credit.
In the United States, we may ask for your Social Security Number, Driver’s
License, and Birth Certificate, but only in limited circumstances, such as when
determining whether to extend personal or commercial credit.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect allows us to determine your credit worthiness, keep you
posted on Bullitproof’s latest announcements, updates, and upcoming events. It also helps us to improve our services,
content, and advertising. From time
to time, we may use your information to keep in contact with you regarding personal
or commercial loands, send important notices, such as communications about our changes
to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to
your interaction with Bullitproof, you may not opt out of receiving these communications. We may also use your information for
internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Bullitproof’s
products, services, and customer communications.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal
Information
We also collect non-personal information data in a form that does not permit direct
association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose
non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal
information that we collect and how we may use it: We may collect information such
as occupation, language, zip/postal code, area code, and location.
We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website and
from our other products and services. This information is aggregated and used to
help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which
parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data
is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. If we do combine non-personal information
with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information
for as long as it remains combined.
Cookies and Other Technologies
The Bullitproof website, online services, interactive applications, email messages,
and advertisements may use cookies and other current and future technologies. These
technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our
website people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements
and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies
as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law,
we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent
that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the
combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Bullitproof and our partners also use
cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our
website, online services, and applications. Our goal in these cases is to make your
experience with Bullitproof more convenient and personal. As is true of most websites,
we gather some information automatically and store it in log files.
This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type
and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating
system, date/time stamp, and other various data.
We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the
site, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information
about our user base as a whole. Bullitproof may use this information in our marketing
and advertising services.
Disclosure to Third Parties
At times Bullitproof may make certain personal information available to strategic
partners that work with Bullitproof to provide products and services, or that help
Bullitproof market to other customers. Personal information will only be shared
by Bullitproof to provide or improve our products, services and advertising; it
will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Third Party Service Providers
Bullitproof shares information with companies who provide services such as information
processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to
you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing
your interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or
satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your information
and may be located wherever Bullitproof operates.
Government and Legal Uses
It may be necessary by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public
and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence for
Bullitproof to disclose your information. We may also disclose information about
you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or
other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may
also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably
necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users.
Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer
any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
Protection of Personal Information
Bullitproof takes precautions including administrative, technical,
and physical measures to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft,
and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and
destruction. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information
while its transmitted over the Internet. When you use Bullitproof products, services,
or applications or post on a Bullitproof forum, chat room, or social networking
service, the personal information you share is visible to other users and can be
read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information
you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and
email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when
using these features.
Integrity and Retention of
Personal Information
Bullitproof makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate, complete,
and up to date. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary
to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention
period is required or permitted by law.
Access to Personal Information
We make good faith efforts to provide you with access so you can request that we
correct the data if it is inaccurate or delete the data if Bullitproof is not required
to retain it by law or for legitimate business purposes. We may decline to process
requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort,
jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access
is not otherwise required by local law.
Access, correction, or deletion requests can be made via email
info@bullitproof.ca.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn
that we have collected the personal information of a child under 13 we will take
steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
Third-Party Sites and Services
The Bullitproof websites, products, applications, and services may contain links
to third-party websites, products, and services. Our products and services may also
use or offer products or services from third parties. Information collected
by third parties, which may include such things as location data or contact details,
is governed by their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy
practices of those third parties.

Information you provide may be transferred or accessed by entities around the world
as described in this Privacy Policy.
Bullitproof abides by the safe harbor framework set forth by Canadian Laws and Regulations
regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal information collected by
organizations in the European Economic Area and
Switzerland
.

security guidelines to Bullitproof employees, partners and affiliates, and strictly
