Our Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to BDS. We hope this section will answer any questions you might have concerning the way customer information is collected, controlled and safeguarded. BDS follows all applicable laws on data privacy protection and data security. The ultimate goal for gathering information is to improve service and support to customers.
BDS respects your right to privacy. You can visit this site and find out about our products and services, check on career opportunities, or use other value-added services without giving us any information about yourself.
Personal Data
BDS will not collect any personal data about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address), unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with it (e.g. by registration, asking for support, participating in surveys, etc.).
BDS is the sole owner of any information collected on our web sites. Under no circumstances will we share your customer information with anyone other than those directly involved with your support, unless you explicitly give us permission to do so.

We use this data to study the needs of customers more closely and thereby improve the site performance and content. This will be performed in accordance with the applicable data privacy protection legal framework.
Purpose of Use
When you do provide us with personal data, we usually use it to respond to your inquiry, process your order or provide you access to specific information or offers. We (or a third party on our behalf) may use personal data to contact you for conducting online surveys, or about a BDS offer, so that we may understand and support your business needs better. We may also store and process personal data and share it with our worldwide affiliates and partners to better understand your business needs and how we can improve our products and services.
If you choose not to have your personal data used to support our customer relationship (especially direct marketing or market research), we will respect your choice. We do not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties, except to BDS' affiliates and partners.
Purpose Limitation
BDS will collect, use or disclose personal data supplied by you online only for the purposes disclosed to you, unless the disclosure: is a use for any additional purpose that is directly related to the original purpose for which the personal data was collected, is necessary to prepare, negotiate and perform a contract with you, is required by law or the competent governmental or judicial authorities, is necessary to establish or preserve a legal claim or defence, is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activities, such as willful attacks on BDS' IT systems.
