We rely on fulfillment of contract as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(b) for the processing of member and client data.
Website Visitors’ and App Users’ Data
In general, website visitors do not need to provide personalized information to BumOne. We do collect "aggregate data," that is, group data with no personal identifiers. We use this aggregate data to help us understand how the site is being used and to improve its usability. We also use it to enhance the quality and availability of products and services we offer.
We also, with explicit permission, use aggregate data from online surveys you choose to fill out for research and publication purposes.
If personal data is provided, and retained, it is only name, email, and phone number, which allow BumOne to contact the visitor at his or her organization. BumOne solely holds the information and engages in no contact-sharing program with other organizations.
Many websites create Cookies (small text files) when a user visits a website, and these Cookies are used to analyze aggregate user behavior on a website. In compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive,
BumOne websites ask permission of the visitor prior to setting Cookies. Should the visitor agree,
BumOne’s server will only collect the following information:
-
The visitor’s IP address (including the domain name associated with the IP address, i.e. using reverse look-up).
-
The date and time of the visit to the website.
-
The pages visited on the website.
-
The browser being used.
In addition, where this is available, BumOne will also collect:
-
The country from which the visitor is accessing the website (only the ending is saved, e.g., since this indicates the relevant country).
-
The language of the browser being used.
-
The website from which the visitor is accessing the BumOne website.
-
The search word used (if the site is accessed via a search engine).
-
The type of connection and operating system.
We only use this data to improve the visitor’s website experience. Please review our Cookie Policy to learn more about how we use Cookies.
When it comes to Cookies, we rely on consent given as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(a).
