This Privacy Policy explains the information that BST Bazaars Inc. collects about users of the BST Kicks mobile application and related website (bstkicks.com) how we use that information, and with whom we share it. If we make any material changes to our privacy practices, we will post a revised Privacy Policy on this page. If you have any questions, please contact us by sending an email to info@bstkicks.com.
As used in this policy, the terms "BST Kicks," "us," "we," "our," and "ourselves" refer to BST Bazaars Inc. ("the Company" that created BST Kicks). The terms "you," "your," and "yourself" refer to users of our Service.
In order to register, you will be asked to sign in with your Facebook account. In doing so, you authorize us to collect relevant information necessary to enable BST Kicks to access Facebook, and Facebook will provide us with access to certain information that you have provided to it. By allowing us to access your Facebook account, you understand that we will obtain and share your information, as well as the name and profile picture of your Facebook friends who are common Facebook friends with other BST Kicks users in your network or geolocation. We will use, store, and disclose such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, please remember that the manner in which Facebook uses, stores, and discloses information is governed by its policies, and BST Kicks shall have no liability or responsibility for its privacy practices or other actions.
Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable screens or pages, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. If you wish, we will delete your account information; to do so, please close your account by sending an email to info@bstkicks.com.
We may collect and store personal information about other people that is available to us through your Facebook login, namely the name and picture of certain of your Facebook friends as follows: we will only share this information with other BST Kicks users who are already friends with your Facebook friend and who already have access to such information.
BST Kicks is a location based mobile dating application that helps you find Jewish singles nearby. While the BST Kicks application is in use, we keep track of your location information (e.g. by using the GPS on your mobile device), to provide the functionality of our service. Please keep in mind that other BST Kicks users can see this information about you, and they may use it or disclose it to other individuals or entities outside of our control, and without our knowledge. Your information may be subject to abuse, misuse, or monitoring by others, and you share this information at your own risk. Unless you turn off your location services, we will collect your location information, and by using our service, you consent to our collection, storage, and analysis of your location data.
In order to recognize you, store your preferences, and track your use of our application, we may store your mobile device IDs (the unique identifier assigned to a device by the manufacturer) when you use the BST Kicks application. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted.
When you use our Service, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. BST Kicks may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by BST Kicks affiliates, agents or service providers. This Service may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of users of our services, or analyzing trends in downloads, invites, or messaging, for instance. BST Kicks may occasionally conduct research on customer demographics by aggregating individual data of our users. BST Kicks may share this non-identifiable and aggregate data with its affiliates, agents, and business partners, but this type of aggregated data does not identify you personally.
We use the information we collect in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. For instance, we use your information to provide the core functionality of our service (connecting you with Jewish singles nearby), to monitor your use of the service and improve the user experience, to respond to your comments and inquiries, to communicate with you regarding the service, and for any other purpose for which the information was provided.
BST Kicks cares deeply about your privacy and without your prior consent, we will not share your Personal Information except as outlined in this Privacy Policy. With that said, there may be circumstances that may lead us to share your Personal Information to a third party without further notice to you. Such circumstances include:
In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event; with service providers we work with in order to provide our Service; with our corporate affiliates or subsidiaries for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy; to enforce our Privacy Policy or other terms of service; and if required to do so by law or when we believe in good faith that such disclosures are required by law; to protect and defend the rights or property of BST Kicks, protect the personal safety of users of the site or the public, or protect against legal liability.
We do not allow persons under 13 to register for any service, and we do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from persons under the age of 13. If you are under 13 years of age, please do not use our Services and please do not submit any personal information through our Services. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce our Privacy Policy by instructing children under the age of 13 never to use our Services. Please contact us immediately if you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to BST Kicks, and we will make every attempt to delete that information from our databases.
If you're outside the United States, your information will be sent to and stored in the United States, where our servers are located. By using BST Kicks, you agree to the information collection, use, and sharing practices described in this Privacy Policy.
This Service may contain links to other websites or services not operated or controlled by BST Kicks. The policies and procedures we describe here do not apply to these third party sites, nor do the links from this Service imply that BST Kicks endorses or has reviewed these third party sites. We suggest contacting those sites directly for information on their privacy policies.
BST Kicks takes reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information provided via the Service from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet, email or other electronic transmission is ever fully secure or error free, so you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us in this way.
Although most changes are likely to be minor, BST Kicks may change its Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will let you know by changing the "Last Updated" date within this Privacy Policy, and your continued use of the Service shall indicate your agreement with the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.
