Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level, etc.). Survey information will be used only for purposes outlined in the survey itself.
We use IP addresses to enforce ACLs, analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
This website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that BDI is not responsible for the privacy practices of such sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site, and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
BDI uses a variety of safeguards, controls, and procedures to prevent unauthorized access to or use of personal information including, but not limited to:
All reasonable measures are taken to ensure that your personal information is kept secure and we remain alert and prepared to adapt these measures to address evolving threats and vulnerabilities.
Personal information is retained and disclosed as necessary to serve our customers and provide Services, and otherwise only in accordance with applicable law. Personal information about our customers or their customers is not used or disclosed to any third parties except:
As provided above, BDI will not sell, share, or trade your personal information to outside third parties.
We safeguard the quality and integrity of your personal information by implementing a broad range of technical and organizational security measures, such as penetration and vulnerability testing, malware scanning, and intrusion detection.

In addition, all personal information you supply is encrypted at rest and transmitted via the latest TLS technology. When users submit personal information via the website, such information is protected online and offline.

To the best of BDI’s knowledge, this Privacy Policy and BDI’s Services comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances pertaining to data protection including, but not limited to, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act of 1999 (15 U.S.C. §§ 6801-6809), including the Financial Privacy Rule (Subtitle A: Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information, codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 6801–6809), the Safeguards Rule (Subtitle A: Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information, codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 6801-6809), and the Pretexting Protection (Subtitle B: Fraudulent Access to Financial Information, codified at 15 U.S.C. §§ 6821–6827); the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) of 1996 as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C §1681); the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR); The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018 (AB375, Title 1.81.5), as amended by The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA); and the California Online Privacy Protect Act (CalOPPA). BDI’s compliance with privacy laws and regulations are audited regularly by BDI’s General Counsel and Data Protection Officer, its Security Council, and BDI consumers including their independent counsel and senior administrative staffs. Independent auditors further examine BDI federal and state regulatory compliance on an annual basis. Most updates are obtained through regulatory agency alerts, news feeds, legal reviews and security blogs and BDI regularly provides its customers with published announcements of new and upcoming regulatory changes with the goal of generating early awareness and dialogue.
For California residents, this Privacy Policy is adopted in accordance with the CCPA and CalOPPA, and any terms defined in the CCPA and CalOPPA have the same meaning when used in this Privacy Policy.
The CCPA provides consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. You have the right to request that a business subject to the CCPA disclose certain information to you about its collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. In addition, you have the right to ask such business to delete personal information collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. If the business sells personal information, you have a right to opt-out of that sale. Finally, a business cannot discriminate against you for exercising a CCPA right.
When offering the Services to our customers, BDI acts as a “service provider” under the CCPA. Accordingly, we only receive and collect consumer personal information as required to provide the Services on behalf of our customers. Individuals should direct any requests for access or deletion of their personal information under the CCPA to the organization with whom they have a direct relationship. BDI customers can submit CCPA related requests through ClientConnect.
For additional information on your rights and choices under the CCPA, or how to exercise those rights, please visit www.businessdatainc.com/ccpa.
Users who no longer wish to receive updates, participate in surveys, or have contact via email with BDI may opt-out of receiving these communications. Moreover, if your personal information changes, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct or update such personal information provided to us. This can be done by sending an email to: helpdesk@businessdatainc.com.
Currently, standards regarding the DNT signals and appropriate responses are undefined. Accordingly, we do not respond to DNT signals.

We may provide links to websites owned or operated by other companies ("third-party websites").

We are not responsible for the third-party website’s use, collection, sale or sharing of your personal information.
We use reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect and limit access to personal information.

If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice, such as an email if you have an account linked to a valid email address, or another manner through the Services that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you.
