Website Visitors - Like most website operators, BAHS collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. BAHSs’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how BAHSs’ visitors use its website. From time to time, BAHS may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

BAHS also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. BAHS only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information - Certain visitors to BAHSs’ website choose to interact with BAHS in ways that require BAHS to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that BAHS gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with BAHS are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, BAHS collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with BAHS.

And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

BAHSs’ will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, BAHS discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when BAHS believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of BAHS, third parties or the public at large. BAHS takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
