Information We Collect
We collect what you give us — name, work email, company, and inquiry details — plus standard technical data your browser sends automatically.
Information you provide
We may collect information you provide directly, including your full name, work email address, company name, project or inquiry details, and the contents of communications you send to us. If you become a client, we may also collect business contact information, project materials, account or service details, and other information reasonably necessary to deliver the Services. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the general inquiry form unless we specifically request it through an appropriate secure channel.
Information collected automatically
When you use the Site, our hosting and technical providers may automatically process information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages or features viewed, dates and times of access, and diagnostic or security logs.
Browser storage and similar technologies
The Site may use browser storage and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences such as language, maintain security, and understand Site performance. You can control cookies and stored site data through your browser settings, although disabling them may affect certain features.
Information from other sources
We may receive information from service providers, business partners, professional networks, publicly available sources, or clients when reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry or provide the Services.
How We Use Information
We use your information to reply, scope projects, run and improve our Services, manage relationships, and keep everything secure and compliant.
We may use personal information to respond to inquiries; evaluate potential projects and partnerships; prepare proposals; provide, maintain, support, and improve the Services; manage client and business relationships; send administrative or service-related communications; personalize Site preferences; protect the security and integrity of our Site, systems, clients, and users; prevent fraud or misuse; comply with legal obligations; establish or defend legal claims; and carry out other purposes disclosed to you when the information is collected.
We may send marketing communications where permitted by law. You may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe method in the communication or contacting us. Opting out of marketing does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional or service-related messages.
Legal Bases for Processing
If you're in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on contract, legitimate interests, legal obligations, or your consent — which you can withdraw anytime.
Where the laws of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction require a legal basis, we process personal information as necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract; to pursue our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving our business and Services; to comply with legal obligations; or with your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing completed before withdrawal.
How We Disclose Information
We share data only with vetted vendors and professional advisers, when legally required, or during a business transition. We do not rent or sell it.
We may disclose personal information to vendors and service providers that support hosting, cloud storage, email, customer relationship management, scheduling, communications, analytics, security, professional services, and payment processing; to professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, and insurers; when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and security; in connection with a financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets; or at your direction or with your consent.
We do not rent personal information. Based on our current practices, we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Client Data and Our Service-Provider Role
When we build or operate systems for a client, that client controls the data decisions — so direct those requests to them, not us.
BVS may process personal information on behalf of clients when building, integrating, hosting, supporting, or operating client systems. In those circumstances, the client generally determines the purposes and means of processing, and BVS acts as a processor or service provider under the client's instructions and the applicable agreement. Requests about personal information held in a client's system should usually be directed to that client. This Privacy Policy applies to BVS's own processing and does not replace a client's privacy notice.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as we genuinely need it, then dispose of it according to applicable law.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our rights. Retention periods vary based on the type of information, the relationship involved, and applicable law.
Data Security
We protect your data with reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards — though no system online is ever completely secure.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
We work globally, so your data may be processed in other countries — including the United States — with appropriate safeguards where required.
BVS works internationally, and personal information may be processed in countries other than the country where it was collected, including the United States. Those countries may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
Your Privacy Rights
You can access, copy, correct, delete, or port your data and opt out of marketing. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to personal information; obtain a copy; correct inaccurate information; request deletion; restrict or object to processing; request data portability; withdraw consent; opt out of certain marketing; and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions.
California residents
Where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies, California residents may also have rights to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, the sources and business purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties to whom information is disclosed; to request correction or deletion; to opt out of sale or sharing; to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and to receive equal service and pricing when exercising privacy rights. BVS does not currently sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Submitting a request
To exercise a privacy right, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity and request before responding. Where permitted by law, you may use an authorized agent. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
