Better Business Bureau of Southern Nevada, Inc.
Online Privacy Policy The Better Business Bureau of Southern Nevada, Inc. (BBB) is committed to maintaining your confidence and trust, and accordingly maintains the following privacy policy to protect personal information you provide online. BBB's Commitment to Online Security Physical, electronic and managerial procedures have been employed to safeguard the security and integrity of personal information. Personal information is used by staff, volunteers and other designated personnel. All BBB agents and contractors with access to personal information obtained on the BBB web site will also abide by this policy. Personal Information that BBB May Collect Online The BBB collects the following types of personal information: names, postal and e-mail addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers, and complaint information. The BBB may also collect business information from sole proprietorships that apply for membership or program participation, some of which might constitute personal information, as well as personal information from individuals acting solely in their business capacity. The BBB will not knowingly collect or maintain information from those actually known to be under the age of 13, and no part of our site is structured to attract anyone under the age of 13. How BBB May Use Personal Information Collected Online The BBB will not use your personal information other than for the purpose for which it was submitted without your consent. We use personal information to reply to inquiries, handle complaints, develop business reliability reports, and to warn the public about questionable business practices. We also process business requests related to program participation. We do not use personal information in mailing lists. How Your Information May Be Shared In order to process complaints against businesses, the BBB will transfer complaints received online to the company complained about. It is also possible that a complaint, request or inquiry will be more appropriately handled by another BBB, in which case the request or inquiry will be transferred to the proper BBB. By completing a complaint form or sending us a request or inquiry, you are allowing us to forward your information to the proper business and also to the proper BBB, if necessary. Without submission of the requested information, the BBB will not be able to share your information and process your complaint. The BBB never sells or rents personal information. We will also release personal information to appropriate parties under the following circumstances: Where release is required by law (for example, a subpoena) or regulation, or is requested by a government agency conducting an investigation; Where our records indicate a company may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices; Where warranted by a company's failure to participate in the BBB's advertising self-regulatory process; or Where your communication suggests possible harm to others. Help Us Keep Your Personal Information Accurate If your personal information changes, please e-mail us at privacy@vegasbbb.org with the new information, and, if appropriate, we will change your records. Let us also know the department or BBB program that led to your submission of personal information so we may efficiently locate your information. Computer Tracking and Cookies Our web site is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by its visitors. Our site logs do generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our site. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff to provide better services to the public and may also be provided to others, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. The BBB uses non-identifying cookies to provide easier site navigation and access to forms. You can still use the BBB site if your browser is set to reject cookies. Our cookies do not generate personal data, do not read personal data from your machine and are never tied to anything that could be used to identify you. Problems If you have a complaint about the BBB's compliance with this privacy policy, you may contact us privacy@vegasbbb.org.
