Privacy Policy

This is the Privacy Statement Of www.bcreative.com

Basically, we promise to protect your privacy the way a pit bull protects his chew toy. Here's a whole bunch of reasons why you can feel perfectly safe and secure working with us.

• bCreative is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Any personal information you give us is held in the utmost care and security and will not be used with outside parties in any way without your prior consent.
• In order to use this website, a user must complete a registration form to become a Member (a "Creative Member" or a "Licensee Member"). The form requires the user to give personal contact information such as name, email and mailing address and phone number. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have registered to use.
• To preserve a Creative Member's privacy, A Creative Member is never referred to on our site by their name, only by their Creative Member identification number. This i.d. number is assigned upon registration and acceptance by bCreative and consists of the first three letters of a last name followed by 3 numeric digits. For example, Jeff Harlow might be id# HAR-001 and John Harris might be id# HAR-002.
• Licensee Members may be referred to on the Site by Company name, but not by individual user names.
• bCreative will share accepted ideas from Creative Members with Licensee Members and bCreative staff via our online searchable database of ideas. These ideas are logged into the online database strictly for content creativity and do not associate the idea with any personal identifiable characteristics of the Creative Member who submits the idea. These ideas are only viewable to the staff of bCreative and our Licensee Member group and cannot be viewed by other Creative Members.
• Further details regarding how Creative Members and Licensee Members may use the Site can be found in the Site User Agreement.
• We request credit card information from the user when the user chooses to purchase credits for submission of creative ideas to bCreative. The use of your credit card on our site is secure. bCreative never sees, receives or keeps credit card information and all credit card transactions occur through CyberCash a highly secure online credit card processing agency.

The information stored in a cookie is linked to personally identifiable information while on our site. When exiting our site, if you properly log off by clicking "logout", the cookie is deleted from your pc's hard drive. The advantage of using cookies on our site is that bCreative can track usage and target the activity of users to improve the functionality of our site.

We may communicate with the user regarding these updates via email, fax, mail or phone.
• If a user's personally identifiable information changes, or if a user no longer desires to use our service, we will correct, update or deactivate that user's personal data provided to us. The user will initiate this process by emailing bCreative support staff at info@bcreative.com.
• If we decide at anytime to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it to other parties. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we request permission of our members via email and/or post the new policy to our website. Our members will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.

In the event that children under the age of 13 visit this Site, we strongly encourage their parents or guardians to closely monitor any use thereof. No information should be submitted to or posted on this Site by anyone under the age of 13 without the consent of their parent or guardian. Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, we do not provide any personally identifying information regardless of its source, to any third party for any purposes whatsoever from anyone, particularly those under 13 years of age. No information collected from anyone under 13 years of age is used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever by us.
