Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 4, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to bwsdevelopment.net (“Site,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, how we share it, your rights and choices, and how to contact us.
By using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
2. What We Collect
We collect information in three ways: (a) you provide it, (b) it’s collected automatically, and (c) from third parties (e.g., analytics/ads vendors).
2.1 Information You Provide
Identifiers & contact data: name, email address, phone number, company, job title.
Account & support content: messages, support requests, form submissions.
Transaction data (if applicable): billing details, limited payment info (processed by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers).
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
Usage data: IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, pages viewed, links clicked, and general location (derived from IP).
Cookies & similar technologies: cookies, pixels, local storage, and SDKs to remember settings, analyze traffic, and personalize content/ads. You can control cookies via your browser or our preferences center (see Cookies & Ads Controls below).
2.3 Information From Third Parties
Service providers: analytics, advertising networks, CRM and email tools, payment processors.
Social & integrations (if enabled): if you interact with embedded social plugins or sign in through a third party, they may share basic profile/connection info per their settings.
3. How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
Provide the Site & services (operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure).
Communicate with you (respond to inquiries; send service, transactional, and—if you consent—marketing emails/newsletters).
Personalize & improve (analyze usage; test features; develop new services).
Advertising & measurement (serve and measure ads, limit frequency, understand campaign performance).
Security & fraud prevention (detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents).
Legal compliance (enforce terms; comply with laws and lawful requests).
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share:
Service providers/processors that help operate the Site (hosting, analytics, advertising, email delivery, payments, customer support). They must use the data only on our instructions.
Advertising & analytics partners (via cookies/pixels) for cross-site measurement and interest-based advertising. Under California law, this may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Business transfers (merger, sale, financing, or acquisition).
Legal & safety (to comply with law, enforce terms, protect rights, security, and safety).
5. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typical retention:
Account/support records: up to 24 months after last interaction.
Marketing contacts: until you opt out or 24 months of inactivity.
Analytics data: 14–26 months (per tool settings).
We may anonymize data so it is no longer associated with you.
6. Your Rights & Choices
6.1 General Controls
Access/Correct/Delete: Email support@bwsdevelopment.net to request access, correction, or deletion.
Marketing Opt-Out: Click “unsubscribe” in marketing emails or contact us.
Cookies & Ads Controls: Adjust browser settings and use our Cookie Preferences link (shown on first visit and in the footer) to opt in/out of non-essential cookies. Some ad partners offer additional controls at industry pages (e.g., NAI/DAA).
6.2 U.S. State Privacy Rights (e.g., CA, CO, CT, UT, VA)
Depending on your state, you may have rights to know/access, correct, delete, portability, and to opt out of: (i) targeted advertising, (ii) sale of personal data, and (iii) certain profiling.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information / Opt Out of Targeted Ads: Use our footer link “Privacy Choices” or email support@bwsdevelopment.net with the subject “Privacy Opt-Out.”
We will honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals for applicable jurisdictions.

7. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information (e.g., HTTPS/TLS in transit, access controls, logging, regular backups). No method is 100% secure.
9. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
Analytics: We may use tools such as Google Analytics to understand Site usage and improve performance. These tools set cookies that help us measure visits and interactions.
Advertising: We may use ad networks/pixels to show relevant ads and measure effectiveness. This may involve setting or reading cookies and linking activities across sites/services.
Your Choices: Manage via your browser/device settings. Blocking some cookies may impact Site functionality.
10. Third-Party Links & Sites
The Site may link to third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies; please review them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new “Effective Date.” Material changes will be noted on the Site or communicated to you where required.
