We strive to protect the online privacy of children. We will not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from or about children under the age of 13 without prior parental consent. By using the Website, you represent that you are 13 years or older. However, we cannot prohibit minors from visiting the Website, and we necessarily rely on parents and other responsible parties to supervise the use of the Internet and the Website by such minor children. Please do not attempt to register or send any information about yourself to us if you are under the age of 13. If a child under the age of 13 has provided the Website with Personally Identifiable Information, we ask that a parent or guardian please email us at privacy@bassprogamessite.com and we will delete the information about the child from our files.
What Information Do We Collect and How Do We Use the Information?

Some services available through the Website may require additional security, in which case we may require you to create an additional security key.
We automatically track certain non-identifying information through the Website through the use of "cookies." We place a cookie into the browser file on your computer. The cookie is a small computer file the web server uses to recognize the computer of certain users that have previously visited the Website. Cookies assist with our ability to provide certain functionalities through the Website. Cookies do not contain or collect any personally identifying information but collect information regarding the usage patterns associated with the user's personal computer. Information tracked with cookies is primarily used to improve and update the site and to provide site-traffic data, and is only collected on an aggregate basis. When and if we do present such aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify you or contact you. If you do not wish to permit the placement of cookies on your computer, most web browsers have a feature which will allow you to block cookies. However, you should be aware that blocking the placement of cookies may disable or hinder certain Website functionalities.
We may automatically gather and store other non-identifying information, such as Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, click stream data, the referring URL (the web page you left before coming to the Website) and the pages, links, and graphics you visited on the Website. We may use this information, which does not include Personally Identifiable Information, to analyze trends, administer the Website, track users' movements around the Website, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole and compile aggregate statistics about usage of the Website. We may use third party advertising consultants to assist us in analyzing this data.
We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders. Additionally, we may share Personally Identifiable Information when we believe it necessary to comply with the law, to enforce the Terms and Conditions of the Website, or to protect our interests or rights, property, and safety of our employees and customers.
Sale or Change of Control of the Company
We reserve the right to transfer or assign your Personally Identifiable Information in connection with the sale of our business. We reserve this right without regard to whether such sale is structured as a sale of assets, a sale of a controlling interest of our stock, a merger with or into another entity, or otherwise. We are not obligated to notify you of any such transfer, assignment or change of control transaction. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your Personally Identifiable Information is treated, transferred, or used.

How Do We Protect and Secure Personal Identifiable Information?
We are dedicated to protecting our customers' personal information that we collect. To prevent unauthorized access to maintain and ensure the correct use of information, we have established physical, electronic, and managerial security protocol and procedures. The server protects access by unauthorized means by use of firewalls.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the email address submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Secure transmission is not used for our product pages or general website information, but we do use other means such as firewalls to safeguard confidentiality of this information. Although we cannot guarantee against any loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration, or destruction of data, we try to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, however. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of the personal information and email addresses we collect. If we make material changes to the way we use your email address or change our email practices, we will post those changes to this Privacy Policy, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose such information.
If you have any questions about security on the Website, you can email us at privacy@bassprogamessite.com.
What Should I Know About Disclosing Personally Identifiable Information on Other Websites?
The Website may contain links which direct users to websites operated by third parties. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to other websites. If you choose to click on one of these links, you will be directed to the website operated by a third party. Any information that you submit at these websites are submitted directly by you to these third parties and will be governed by that third party's privacy practices and procedures. The privacy policies of other websites will vary in how well your personal information is protected. Certain websites may not implement a privacy policy. If you provide Personally Identifiable Information online that is accessible by the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties. It is ultimately your responsibility to maintain and protect your Personally Identifiable Information. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of these third parties.
