Your privacy is important to us. Please read our privacy policy for more details.
Overview
Our online website allows you to buy products and services. We use the information that we collect about you to fulfill your product and
service purchases and to create a more personalized online experience. This is just a brief overview, so please read on for more details about
our Privacy Policy. This Policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.
Except as otherwise discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you
online. For some services, we either collect and transfer personal information to a service provider you have selected, or you may visit other
merchants through links on our site who may collect and use your personal information. In those cases the third-party service provider
or merchant's privacy policy will govern how your information is handled. We encourage you to ask questions and to be very cautious before you
disclose your personal information to others.
- What kind of information does the Bureau of Dangerous Goods, Ltd. collect from its users?
In order to better provide you with quality service, the Bureau of Dangerous Goods, Ltd. collects two types of information about its visitors: Personal
Identifiable Information and Non-Perosnal Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide
you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.
Personal Identifiable Information
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested when you register
and set up an account, order a product of service, and send us feedback. For example, this information might include your name,
billing address, shipping address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other payment information, and product details.
With this information, the Bureau of Dangerous Goods, Ltd. can fill your orders and better provide you with personalized services.
Non-Personal Identifiable Information
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based
upon where you are on our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis.
For example, this information may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that you just came from, which URL you go to next,
what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other
resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the
IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you
are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to
communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.
On an aggregated basis, we collect anonymous data related to the pages, products, downloads and other content that is sampled, clicked on,
streamed, searched for, transferred from and downloaded.
- Where does the Bureau of Dangerous Goods, Ltd. collect information from its users and how do we use it?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide visitors with quality online experiences. We use the customer
contact information to fill orders and to enhance the operation of our site and administer our systems.
We gather information in the following ways:
Ordering
When you order from us, we collect personally identifiable information from you. If you order one of our products or services, we will
collect and maintain your name, e-mail address, billing address, shipping address, telephone number, product selections, credit card or
other payment information, order number, referring URL, IP address, page you bought from and a password. We collect this, and other information,
as disclosed in this Policy, in order to fill your order, to communicate with you about your order. Before confirmning your
order, you will have the opportunity to review the product order form and make changes and additions to the information it contained
and these changes will be automatically kept for future use. We may require additional verifications or information before
accepting any order.
Contact Information and Third Party Information
If you contact our office or our customer service representatives by telephone, e-mail or letter, we may keep a record of your
correspondence or comments. If you report a problem with our site, we may collect such information in a file specific to you. If you
contact us through our feedback area or by calling one of our customer service representatives, we may ask for your name, e-mail
address and order information in order to send you a reply. If other users or third parties send us correspondence about your
activities or purchases on our site, we may keep the information in a file specific to you.
Web Site Usage
We also track customers' traffic patterns throughout their online session, including pages, information a customer views while using
the site and what items they place in their basket of purchase. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to
administer our site and to gather demographic information.
Cookies
We use cookies and may allow others to use cookies in the operation of our site.
- How is your information shared with others?
Fulfillment
The information collected by the Bureau of Dangerous Goods, Ltd. is used for processing orders, keeping you informed about your order status, for statistical
purposes, and for improving our site and its performance. We will disclose your Personally Identifiable Information to third parties to
charge your credit card, fill your order, deliver your order, and provide customer service. For example, we must release your credit card
information to the card-issuing bank to confirm payment.
- How can you modify or fix your Personal Identifiable Information?
We believe you should have the ability to access and edit the personal information that you have provided to us. During the online ordering
process you can review, change or delete the information that you have submitted. You may change any of your personal information in your
account online at any time. We encourage you to promptly update your information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your
account deleted or removed; however, before we keep track of past purchases, you cannot delete information associated with past purchases. Also,
as a security measure we "back up" the data stored on our systems, and such prior information cannot be completely removed from our databases.
As a result, you should not expect that all of your Personally Identifiable Information will be completely removed from our backed-up databases.
- What security measures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of your user information?
In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking, processing
agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment
information and to process your order.
Within the Bureau of Dangerous Goods, Ltd., your information is kept on password protected, limited access servers. Wherever possible and applicable, the Bureau of Dangerous Goods, Ltd.
servers reside behind a corporate firewall that maintains controls on access to the system from both our internal network and the Internet.
- ShipHazmat.net cookies
When you use our site we will store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your use of our site. A cookie is a small data
text file, which a Web site stores on your computer's hard drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to
