By providing information to us (by any means, whether in a store, in correspondence, via our Website, via SMS, or otherwise) you consent to our use of the information you provide in accordance with this Policy. Any reference to our Website includes e-mail, text, and other electronic messages. If you do not agree with this Policy or our practices, you may not use our Website.

This is a United States website subject to the laws of the United States and is not intended for users outside of North America. This Policy may change from time to time and is incorporated into our Website Terms of Use. Your continued use of our Website constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.

We may release your personal information only if required by law, court order, or if we believe in good faith that such release is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company, customers, or others.

​

Information We Collect
 

We collect personal information about you in various ways, such as when you provide it on our Websites, through our apps and social media channels, through your participation in surveys, via text messages or on the telephone. The types of personal information we collect may include:

• Contact information and preferences (such as name, postal address, email address, and mobile or other telephone number)

• Username and password if you have registered an account with us

• Device information

• Photographs, comments, and other content you provide

• Information regarding your personal design interests and browsing history

• Social media information

• Contact information you provide about friends or other people you would like us to contact

• Information we may obtain from our third‐party service providers 

​

In addition, when you visit our Website, open our emails, use our apps, or interact with our related tools, widgets, or plug‐ins, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, and web server logs. The information we collect in this manner may include your IP address, unique device identifier, browser characteristics, domain and other system settings, search queries, device characteristics, operating system type, language preferences, referring URLs, actions taken on our site, dates and times of website visits, metadata, and other information associated with other files stored on your device.

Through these automated collection methods, we obtain "clickstream data," which is a log of the links and other content on which a visitor clicks while browsing a website. We may link certain data elements we have collected through automated means, such as your browser information, with other information we have obtained about you for the purposes described below, and to let us know, for example, whether you have opened an email we sent to you. While you can change your cookies settings in your browser, please note, however, that without cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Website.

In addition, we may use local shared objects to collect and store information about your preferences and how you interact with our Websites and Apps. These technologies help us recognize you, customize or personalize your shopping experience, store items in your online shopping cart between visits, and analyze the use of our services and solutions to make them more useful to you. These technologies also allow us to aggregate demographic and statistical data and compilations of information, which may include personal information.

Update for Compliance: We no longer share this information with business partners, affiliates, or third parties. All personal data and SMS consent remain strictly within BC Team.

We also may collect information about the location of the mobile device or tablet used to access the Website ("Location Data"). Location Data includes (a) the location of the mobile device or tablet derived from GPS or WiFi use; (b) the IP address of the mobile device or tablet or internet service used to access the Website; and (c) other information made available by a user or others that indicates the current or prior location of the user, such as geotag information in photographs. We will inform you if a specific Website, app or service collects precise Location Data. If you do not want us to collect Location Data from your device, please delete the app or disable the location settings on your device or tablet. Note, however, that disabling the location setting may affect your ability to access and use that app.

When you connect with social media through the Website, you may link with social media platforms and social media plug‐ins (e.g., the Facebook "Like" button, "Share to Twitter" button) (collectively, "Social Media"). When accessing services through a Facebook or other Social Media account, we may (depending on the applicable user privacy settings) automatically have access to information provided to or through the Social Media platform. We may collect and use this information for the purposes described in this Policy or at the time the information is collected.

Information we collect will only be used as described in this Policy. If you choose not to provide certain information, we may not be able to provide you with certain requested products, services, or information.

Information collected directly by third-party providers of external features (e.g., YouTube embeds) is subject to the privacy policies or notices of those providers. We are not responsible for these providers' information and privacy practices.
