We recognize that privacy of your personal information is important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit bhay.org, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to third parties.
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files for analytic purposes. The information in the log files include your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This includes the ability to login to some of our features, such as our forums.
We also use third party advertisements on google.com to support our site. Google uses a cookie called the "DoubleClick DART" which allows the adverts to adapt based on other sites around the web that you have visited that also hold the same cookie. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing London real estate ads to someone in London, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking adverts to someone who frequents cooking sites). Data that advertisers can collect on you is non-identifying and often only includes your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.
You are able to disable cookies from ourselves or the third-party sites that advertise through us, however this may affect your ability to browse on our website, such as your ability to log into our forums or remember preferences.
If you would simply like to opt out of Google Adsense, you can visit the Google Privacy Centre and select 'Opt Out', or you can opt out of all advertising networks, including those that bhay.org does not use, by visiting the NAI Opt Out page.
