For credit card transactions, we will need the applicable credit card number, expiration date, security code, and the name as it appears on the card.

Usage Details, IP Addresses and Cookies Bask automatically collects your browser type and browser software version to tailor the presentation of the services to your platform and to maintain a record of your activity on the site. To improve our site and make it more useful and interesting to you, we use “cookies” for navigation of site and for customization of information that we may present to you. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive and enable users to specify unique preferences and to track user trends and patterns. As an automatic process, our web server software records a log file of IP addresses that access the site. We also collect IP address information but do not ordinarily link IP addresses to users’ personal information. However, will use IP addresses to identify a user when we, in our sole discretion, determine that it is necessary to enforce compliance with our various policies or to protect our services, site, customers or others.
Third-Party Advertiser Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies Some advertisements on our site are served by third-party advertisers, ad networks and ad servers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about our users. This may include information about your behavior on this and other sites to serve you advertisements that may be of interest to you. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. For information about how you can opt out of receiving targeted advertising from many providers, please see the “Opt-Out Policy” section of this Privacy Statement above.
Sharing Your Information We may use personal information about you for our own internal purposes, including, but not limited to, contacting you via email to inform you about updates to our services, providing you with information relating to your purchases from us, and providing you with other information that we think may be of interest to you. Bask enters into co-branding relationships with third-party websites and companies to provide products and services to our customers. If you are an Bask customer, Bask may share your personal information with certain co-branded third-party service or product providers as required to provide a specific product or service that you request from a co-branded page or co-branded site. However, these third-party partners are obligated not to use this personal information for any reason other than to provide the service or product that you have explicitly signed up for. If you join Bask through a co-branded site (e.g., on a co-branded registration page), it is Bask’s general policy not to share anything other than summarized or aggregated data with the partner; however, any personal information you provide may also be received by the co-branded site and could be stored and used by the co-branded service or product provider according to their privacy policy. We strongly encourage you to take the time to review these third-party privacy policies.
In addition, we may provide summary statistics about our customers’ interests and preferences, products sold, traffic patterns and related site information to third parties. These statistics do not include personal information; they are used only to enhance the design of our site and customize new products offerings to our customers. We do not use or share personal information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described in this Privacy Statement.
Though we use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, when requested in connection with a governmental investigation or under similar circumstances wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a governmental investigation or directive, court order or legal process. We may also disclose personal information to enforce or apply our Service Terms and Conditions (available at http://www.Bask.com/terms) and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes, and if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bask, our customers or others.
Additionally, we may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide to us to a buyer or other successor in the event of a change in ownership, merger or sale or transfer of some or all of Bask’s assets in which personal information held by Bask about our users is among the assets transferred. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you (for example, by posting on our site) of any such change in ownership, merger or acquisition of Bask’s assets.
Preventing Unauthorized Access to Your Information When appropriate, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server software to help prevent unauthorized access to the information you submit online. If and when you place orders or access your account information, SSL technology encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. You can identify the secure connection by looking at the URL, which will begin with “https:” (instead of “http:”). Please note that although we have implemented measures designed to help protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it travels over the Internet.
Accessing and Updating Your Information If you register for an account with us, you can review the personal information you provided Bask and update such information by accessing your account. If you update any of your information, we may keep a copy of the information which you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented herein. If you have questions regarding your ability to update or remove information, or relating to this Privacy Statement, you may email us at customerservice@Bask.com.
Use of Your Personal Information Following Termination We save your personal information until your account with us is terminated or your use of the site is otherwise discontinued, or the service package(s) you purchase has expired, whichever is later. To terminate membership, contact Bask Customer Service at customerservice@Bask.com. To cancel your service plan(s), refer to the steps outlined in our Service Terms and Conditions available at www.Bask.com/terms. If you terminate your membership, your personal information cannot be recovered; however, you may continue to receive email communications for a short period of time until we have updated all of our databases.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, your personal information will remain on our archived database and records. We will not use this archived personal information except to the extent we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or if required by law. In addition to the above, we will maintain information on users who have been removed for violating any of our agreements. If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement or the practices of this site, you may contact us by using the Contact Us section of the site.
Children Under the Age of 13 Our site is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We require registered users of the site to be at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under age 13. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 years of age without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under age 13, please contact us at customerservice@Bask.com.

If we decide to change our Privacy Statement, we will post an amended Privacy Statement on our site so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose this information. Unless otherwise provided below, the revised terms will take effect when they are posted. Once any changes that we make to this Privacy Statement become effective, your continued use of the site after such time will signify your acceptance of the new terms.
