PRIVACY

BP Studios is sensitive to privacy issues with respect to the use of information provided to us over the Internet by visitors to our Site.  Generally, you can visit this website without telling us who you are or revealing personal information about yourself.  Our web servers do collect general information that does not identify you personally.  We do this by placing a small text file called a “cookie” on your computer's hard drive.  For example, we collect information on the number of visits to our website, time spent on the website, number of pages viewed and the domains from which people visit our website.  We aggregate, evaluate and use this information to improve our website and business and may provide it to third parties.

There are a few areas of our website where you may choose to submit personal information.  For example, you may choose to complete registration forms in various locations on our website.  We may use information you submit to improve the Content of our website, to answer questions, to notify you about updates to our website, and to contact you for marketing purposes.  Unless you give us your permission, however, we will not share with anyone outside of BP Studios, its affiliates or third parties processing information for BP Studios any personal information you provide to us.

We use data security systems and procedures to protect the privacy of personal information you provide to us.  No security system is perfect, however, and we cannot guarantee that personal information you provide to us will remain private.  We also cannot guarantee that information you transmit to us over the Internet will not be intercepted.  Additionally, we may be required to provide your personal information in response to a subpoena or other legal process.

We would be pleased to communicate with you by email.  However, if you do send us e-mail, recognize that Internet e-mail is not secure, so that your communication will not be treated as confidential.  BP Studios does not want you to send, and you should not send, any confidential or proprietary information to BP Studios via the website.  You agree that any information or materials that you or individuals acting on your behalf provide to BP Studios will not be considered confidential or proprietary.  By providing any information or materials to BP Studios via email, you grant to BP Studios an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, publicly perform, exploit, transfer, transmit and distribute the information and materials.
