What data do we collect and how do we use it?
When you register with us, we collect personal information such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address and telephone number. When you apply for Services, we may collect other personal information, including but not limited to: financial information, employment status, medical history, residency status, and income level:

You are under no obligation to provide this information, and you can withdraw your consent to our use and disclosure of your information at any time, but if you do then we may not be able to provide you with certain Services or personalise your Web Site experience. The BOB newsletter is distributed through VerticalResponse and is fully compliant with online anti-spam regulations.
Non personal information
When you visit our Web Sites, our web server automatically records your visit. We record visits to help us administer our Web Sites and to collect broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.
We may also automatically collect non-personal information about you such as the type of internet browsers you use or the site from which you linked to our Web Sites. You cannot be identified from this information and it is only used to assist us in improving our website.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web Site transfers to your hard drive to store and sometimes track information about you. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser to prevent that. However, you may not be able to take full advantage of a Web Site if you do so. Cookies are specific to the server that created them and cannot be accessed by other servers, which means they cannot be used to track your movements around the web. Although they do identify a user's computer, cookies do not personally identify customers or passwords.
We use cookies for the following reasons:
To identify who you are and to access your account information;
To estimate our audience size and usage patterns;
To ensure that you are not asked to register twice; and
To track preferences and to improve and update our Web Site.
With whom is the information shared?
BOB will not share, sell or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may disclose your personal information to third party suppliers who assist us in providing our services.
BOB may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or if it believes that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights, property or personal safety of BOB and its Web Sites, visitors to the Web Sites, and customers of our Services.
Our Web Site contains links to the sites of third parties. When you visit these sites, we suggest that you read their privacy policies. BOB is not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such sites.
Information about products and services
It is very important to us that we provide you with the highest level of service. In order to help us do this, from time to time BOB may send you details of our services which we think may be of interest to you. If at any time you do not wish to receive these details, please e-mail us at info@bobics.org
Where is the information stored?
Information which you submit via our Web Sites or our telephone services is stored on a computer located in Canada.
Protection of Personal Information
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us.
Access to Personal Information
You can always contact us in order to (1) access, update or correct your personal information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personal information maintained about you on our systems.
