Our Privacy Policy


 

Benchwalk.com

This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for benchwalk.com.

Our Privacy Policy explains how your “Personally Identifiable Information” (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information.

+ What personal information do we collect from the people that visit Benchwalk.com?

We collect no personally identifiable information.

+ Do we use ‘cookies’?

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. The Bench Walk website uses cookies for Google Analytics, which compiles aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions. No personal data is captured through this process. You can modify (or turn off) your cookie settings through your browser settings. If you turn cookies off, it won’t affect the user experience on the Benchwalk.com website.

The Bench Walk site contains hyperlinks to websites of third parties. If you decide to follow such links, be aware that Bench Walk Advisors does not take any responsibility for the third-party content or compliance of the third-party website with data privacy laws. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party content or sites.

+ Email Communications

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We may collect your email address in order to send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

+ California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

  • Users can visit our site anonymously.
  • There is a link to our Privacy Policy on our home page. You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy page
  • You can change your personal information by emailing or calling us

+ COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. Bench Walk Advisors does not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

+ Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should we become aware of a data breach: We will notify you via email within 7 business days.

+ In accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following:

  • Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.
  • Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.
  • Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.
  • Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
  • Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.
  • Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

+ Unsubscribe

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at info@Benchwalk.com or follow the instructions at the bottom of each email. In compliance with GDPR, residents of the E.U. will be asked to opt in to receive future bulk email communications from Bench Walk Advisors.
