When you request us to delete your account for the Service, your data will be permanently expunged from our primary production servers and further access to your account will not be possible. We will also promptly disconnect any connection we had established to your Account Information and delete all account credentials. However, portions of your data, consisting of aggregate data derived from your Account Information, may remain on our production servers indefinitely. Your data may also remain on a backup server or media.

We also reserve the right to use any aggregated or anonymous data derived from or incorporating your personal information.


7. We use reasonable efforts to secure your data.
We use a combination of firewall barriers, encryption techniques and authentication procedures, among others, to maintain the security of your online session and to protect bscharity.com accounts and systems from unauthorized access.


When you register for the Service, BSCharity requires a password or SNS Account user ID and data token from you for your privacy and security. BSCharity transmits information such as your Registration Information for bscharity.com or Account Credentials securely.


Our databases are protected from general employee access both physically and logically. We encrypt your Service password so that your password cannot be recovered, even by us. All backup drives and tapes also are encrypted.


8. Our service promotes secure communications with encryption.

From the time you submit your Login ID and Password or your SNS Account user ID and data token, these communications between your computer and bscharity.com are encrypted. This enables client and server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering and message forgery.


9. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Login ID and Password.
We maintain strict rules to help prevent others from guessing your password. Your password must be at least 6 characters in length. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Login ID and Password. You may not provide these credentials to any third party. If you believe that they have been stolen or been made known to others, you must contact us immediately at gasp@bscharity.com and you should change your password immediately via the Service. We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account through Registration Information they have obtained from you or through a violation by you of this Privacy and Security Policy or the bscharity.com Terms of Use.
