This Privacy Statement includes this website and other sites that reference this statement. Some BIM POS entities, programs and/or sites may have their distinctive privacy statements. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each BIM POS Application website, or program information you visit or review.
The Basics of Universal Privacy: Our outlook on privacy reflects current global principles and standard, with regards to handling personal information. These principles include notice of data use, choice of data use, data access, data integrity, security, onward transfer, and enforcement/oversight. We respect and enforce the privacy laws in the countries where we do business.

Collecting and Processing Your Personal Information: To better serve and understand you, BIM POS collects, exports, and uses personal data with adequate notice and consent, alongside carrying out filings with data protection authorities, when applicable.
When you visit our web site, we may make record of your IP address, and use cookies and other Internet technologies (referred to below as Automated Tools and Embedded Web Links, described in further detail below) to gather general information about our website visitors and their interests.
We may also gather and process any information that you volunteer to us, e.g. when you register for events, subscribe to newsletters, participate in online surveys, discussion groups or forums, or when making purchases.
Sharing Your Personal Information: As a global company, BIM POS operates a number of websites around the world. Any data and information that you volunteer or that is otherwise collected on one of our sites in any one country may be sent electronically to a server for one of these sites in another country. We safeguard your privacy interests around the world, by ensuring that this BIM POS site complies with our data protection principles described in this statement.
BIM POS may use the information internationally, so as to process your inquiries and orders, help improve our products and services, and manage storage.
We may also share such information with business partners, service vendors, authorized third-party agents or contractors in order to provide a requested service or transaction, including processing orders, processing credit card transactions, hosting websites, hosting events, seminar registration, providing customer support, and/or providing you with information on products and services that may be of interest to you.
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes, unless you have granted us permission to do so.
If necessary, we may respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes by disclosing your personal data and other related information. We also may choose to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
In the circumstance of investigating, preventing, or taking action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of BIM POS’ terms of use, or as otherwise required by law, we may collect and possibly share personal data and any other additional information available to us.
While visiting BIM POS’ website you may be directed to content or functionality that is hosted by a third party supplier, not on BIMPOS.com. Most often, this is done to host special events, such as contests or seminars. When information is collected on behalf of BIM POS, exclusively, the appropriate BIM POS entity’s privacy statement will be referenced on the site, and will administer how information is used. For other sites not related to BIM POS, the site’s owner’s privacy policy will be referenced. BIM POS ensures that such suppliers and business partners handle information in a manner consistent with BIM POS privacy statement.
Why We Collect Personal Data: The information BIM POS collects to understand your needs and interests helps BIM POS deliver a consistent and tailored experience. We use this information only as mentioned in this Privacy Statement and/or in the way we state at the time of collection. We will not change the way your personal information is used without your approval, as is required by law. Some of the ways we may utilize your personal information include, but are not restricted to:
Utilizing IP Addresses: We use IP addresses to help identify problems, administer our website, and collect demographic data. We may also use IP addresses or other information, such as your BIMPOS.com user information which you have shared on the website, or a campaign code, to determine which site pages are being visited and which topics are of interest so that we can better provide you with relevant information on products and services. Generally, BIM POS accumulates such data anonymously and will not associate it with a specific individual, unless he or she has given consent. When you visit our site, we only recognize your domain name.
BIM POS may also collect IP addresses (and other technical information such as browser type) during a Click-to-Chat or Click-to-Call session that you initiate. This information is collected when you connect to BIM POS so that we may identify your session, deliver content based on the technical capabilities of your browser, and for quality control purposes. Your IP address will not be utilized to identify you, unless you provide prior consent.
BIM POS will only gather information related to your visit to the BIM POS site. We do not track or collect personal information from your visits to companies or entities outside the BIM POS Group of companies.
Our Automated Tools: In addition to the information you provide, BIM POS may also collect information during your visit to the BIM POS website through automated tools, which include web beacons, cookies, embedded web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These tools gather certain standard information that your browser sends to our website such as your browser type and language, access times, and the address of the website from which you arrived at that BIM POS website. Using these tools, BIM POS is also able to confirm receipt of e-mails that the recipient consented to receive, and can track other information such as pages visited on the BIM POS site, as well as whether or not the recipient registers for an event offered by BIM POS and certain other aggregated data that is not related to a particular individual.
Using Google Analytics: BIMPOS.com uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be conveyed to and stored by Google, on servers in the United States. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the relevant settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
Google has developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. It provides website visitors the freedom to choose how Google Analytics collects their data. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Using Cookies: We use cookies to provide personalized content, so you don’t have to re-enter your password repeatedly, to keep track of your shopping cart, and to tailor our information offerings to how you and others use the site.
Respect of Privacy of E-mail Addresses: If you choose to give us your e-mail address, we will communicate with you via e-mail. We do not disclose your e-mail address with others outside BIM POS. At any time, you can choose to no longer receive any more e-mails.
Depending on how your e-mail application is set up, information about you may be transmitted automatically when you send an e-mail to BIM POS.
If you choose to register for third-party services, we may need to share some information from your BIMPOS.com registration with the service provider, perhaps including your e-mail address.
Security of Your Personal Data: BIM POS is committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. BIM POS supports online security using secure server technology because we want your data to be safe. We bind our employees to observe your privacy and confidentiality rights.
Links to Other Sites: This site may contain links to other sites. BIM POS is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other websites outside BIM POS.
Choice/Opt-Out: We communicate with users who subscribe to our services on a regular basis via email, and we may also communicate by phone to resolve customer complaints or investigate suspicious transactions. We may use your email address to confirm your opening of an account, to send you notice of payments, to send you information about changes to our products and services, and to send notices and other disclosures as required by law. Generally, users cannot opt out of these communications, but they will be mostly for the purpose of informing rather than promoting.
BIM POS provides you the opportunity to exercise an opt-out choice if you do not wish to receive other types of communication, such as emails or updates regarding new services and products offered on this website, or if you do not want your personal information to be shared with third parties.
Retaining Your Data: BIM POS will not retain your personal information for any longer than is needed or is required by applicable laws or regulations.
