Online Privacy

At 4B, helping you manage privacy and the protection of personal information is among our primary concerns. Below are the guidelines we use for protecting the information you provide us during your experience with our company through any means, such as when you use our web sites, interact with us through our products and other services, when we speak with you over the telephone, and if you work directly with our technical support teams.

3. Protecting Personal Information

We understand the importance of ensuring that your personal information is secure and protected. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, and despite our efforts, 4B cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.

4. Disclosing Personal Information

We share your personal information with corporate affiliates to carry out transactions you request or to make our business or that of our corporate affiliates more responsive to your needs.
We may share your personal information with business partners that help 4B carry out transactions you request or that help 4B to customize, analyze and/or improve our communications or relationship with you, and then only with business partners who share 4B's commitment to protecting your personal information.
We may disclose your personal information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, or other legal action as required by law or regulation, or if 4B reasonably believes it is necessary to protect 4B, its customers or the public.
Except as described above, we will not disclose your personal information to other third parties unless you have provided consent.

When you receive newsletters or promotional emails from 4B, we may use Web beacons (described below), customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click. The data is used to help us determine the effectiveness of our communications with you, and to provide you with more focused communications.
