USE OF COOKIES
The Web Site use “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your computer hard drive by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The cookie tells the web server that you have returned to a specific page after having previously visited that page before. For example, if you personalize any BH-STL MO pages, or register with a BH-STL MO site or service, a cookie helps BH-STL MO to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information again, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the BH-STL MO features that you previously customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the BH-STL MO services or web sites you visit.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
BH-STL MO takes reasonable efforts to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Please understand that despite reasonable efforts by BH-STL MO, unauthorized access, use, and disclosure can still occur. In the event that BH-STL MO learns of any data breach with respect to your personally identifiable information, BH-STL MO will take steps to notify you of the same so that you can take whatever steps you deem necessary to protect your information. Data security is a team effort.
CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
BH-STL MO will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy Policy to reflect company and customer feedback. BH-STL MO encourages you to periodically review this Statement to stay up to date with the information set forth herein.
