Collecting and Using Personal Information
Welcome to BFPPSS' website. We appreciate your interest in
us. When you visit and navigate our sites and when you communicate
with us via our sites, we will not collect personal information
about you unless you provide us that information voluntarily.
Any nonpublic personal information that you may provide via
our sites will be used solely for the purpose stated on the
page where it is collected. BFPPSS will
not sell, license, transmit or disclose this information outside
of BFPPSS and its affiliated companies unless
(a) expressly authorized by you, (b) necessary to enable BFPPSS'
contractors or agents to perform certain functions for us,
or (c) required or permitted by law. In all cases, we will
disclose the information consistent with applicable laws and
regulations and we will require the recipient to protect the
information and use it only for the purpose it was provided.
By "personal information," we mean data that is
unique to an individual, such as a name, address, or telephone
number. From time to time, we may request personal information
from you at our sites in order to deliver requested materials
to you, respond to your questions, or deliver a product or
service.

Your E-Mail
We welcome your comments or questions about our services and
have provided e-mail boxes for that purpose. We will share
your comments and questions with our customer service representatives
and those employees most capable of addressing your questions
and concerns.
Please note that your e-mail, like most, if not all, non-encrypted
Internet e-mail communications, may be accessed and viewed
by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission,
while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy,
please do not use e-mail to communicate information to us
that you consider confidential. If you wish, you may contact
us instead via non-cellular telephone at the numbers provided
at various locations on our sites.
There may be some locations on BFPPSS'
website where we have made special provisions for a more secure
environment in which we can exchange information with you.
At each of these locations, we will provide you with appropriate
instructions.

Other Information; "Cookies"
You should also be aware that when you visit our websites,
we collect certain information that does not identify you
personally, but provides us with "usage data," such
as the number of visitors we receive or what pages are visited
most often. This data helps us to analyze and improve the
usefulness of the information we provide at these websites.
Like most commercial website owners, we may also use what
is known as "cookie" technology. A "cookie"
is an element of data that a website can send to your browser
when you link to that website. It is not a computer program
and has no ability to read data residing on your computer
or instruct it to perform any step or function. By assigning
a unique data element to each visitor, the website is able
to recognize repeat users, track usage patterns and better
serve you when you return to that site. The cookie does not
extract other personal information about you, such as your
name or address. Most browsers provide a simple procedure
that will enable you to control whether you want to receive
cookies by notifying you when a website is about to deposit
a cookie file.
Linking to Other Sites
From time to time, BFPPSS' website may provide
links to other websites, not owned or controlled by BFPPSS, that we think might be useful or of interest to
you. We cannot, however, be responsible for the privacy practices
used by other website owners or the content or accuracy of
those other websites. Links to various non-BFPPSS
websites do not constitute or imply endorsement by BFPPSS of these websites, any products or services described
on these sites, or of any other material contained in them.

Security
BFPPSS has adopted and adheres to stringent
security standards designed to protect nonpublic personal
information against accidental or unauthorized access or disclosure.
Among the safeguards that BFPPSS has developed
for this site are administrative, physical and technical barriers
that together form a protective firewall around the information
stored at this site.

Changes to This Statement
BFPPSS may change this Statement from time
to time without notice. This Statement is not intended to
and does not create any contractual or other legal rights
in or on behalf of any party.
