II. How We Collect and Use Your Personal Data

BumOne collects personally identifiable information in the following ways:

Member and Client Data

When a company joins as a member of BumOne or subscribes to our BumOne Mailing list, we collect business contact data in the form of the following data from you:

  • First and last name

  • Job title

  • Company

  • Work email address

  • Phone number

  • Area of interest (e.g. sustainability, climate etc.)

  • Town/city/state

  • Country

All personal data collected will only be used to process your membership application and to send you product information and occasional special offers or announcements from selected BumOne partners, if you have subscribed to the BumOne Mailing List. We do not sell personal data to anyone and only share it with third parties who are facilitating the delivery of BumOne services.

We rely on fulfillment of contract as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(b) for the processing of member and client data.

Website Visitors’ and App Users’ Data

In general, website visitors do not need to provide personalized information to BumOne. We do collect "aggregate data," that is, group data with no personal identifiers. We use this aggregate data to help us understand how the site is being used and to improve its usability. We also use it to enhance the quality and availability of products and services we offer.

 

We also, with explicit permission, use aggregate data from online surveys you choose to fill out for research and publication purposes.

 

If personal data is provided, and retained, it is only name, email, and phone number, which allow BumOne to contact the visitor at his or her organization. BumOne solely holds the information and engages in no contact-sharing program with other organizations.

 

Many websites create Cookies (small text files) when a user visits a website, and these Cookies are used to analyze aggregate user behavior on a website. In compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive,

BumOne websites ask permission of the visitor prior to setting Cookies. Should the visitor agree,

 

BumOne’s server will only collect the following information:

  • The visitor’s IP address (including the domain name associated with the IP address, i.e. using reverse look-up).

  • The date and time of the visit to the website.

  • The pages visited on the website.

  • The browser being used.

In addition, where this is available, BumOne will also collect:

  • The country from which the visitor is accessing the website (only the ending is saved, e.g., since this indicates the relevant country).

  • The language of the browser being used.

  • The website from which the visitor is accessing the BumOne website.

  • The search word used (if the site is accessed via a search engine).

  • The type of connection and operating system.

We only use this data to improve the visitor’s website experience. Please review our Cookie Policy to learn more about how we use Cookies.

When it comes to Cookies, we rely on consent given as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(a).

Inquiries

 

When you send an inquiry to us through our contact form, we use the personal data that you have stated in the contact form to answer you. Any personal data received from you will not be used for any other purpose without your prior consent and knowledge and will not be disclosed.

 

We rely on a legitimate interest as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(f) for the processing of data in connection to inquiries.

 

Surveys

In order to ensure that the services we offer meet your requirements, we may ask for your feedback in form of surveys and polls. Any feedback received from you will only be used for the purpose of improving our services and will not be disclosed.

We rely on your consent as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(a) for the processing of data in connection with surveys.

eCommerce

BumOne’s use of ecommerce is limited to registration for a limited number of events each year. Individuals within companies provide their corporate information to register for an event. We use the data collected in order to process billing and orders for products/services you choose to purchase on our website.

We rely on fulfillment of contract as the lawful basis under GDPR Article 6(1)(b) for the processing of eCommerce Data.

III. Personal Data Collected From Third Parties

In some cases, we collect your personal data from third parties:

We receive a limited amount of data via lead generation programs. Contacts can change email preferences at any time and opt-out by following the links included in BumOne emails for this purpose.

IV. Payment Information

When you purchase services from us, we request you to state your payment card details (name on card, billing address [street address/city/state/country], card type [e.g. Visa], card number, expiration date, security code). We are using a secure third party to manage transactions and ecommerce payment processing.

 

Your payment information will be stored as long as the third party is entitled or obliged to store it pursuant to legislation. 

V. Duration of Storage

We will store your personal data until these are no longer necessary for us to process. In certain situations, it may be difficult to envisage an exact period, but the below paragraphs list our periods for the processing of your personal data.

Member and Client Data

  • We store member company data and contact information of member companies for the duration of the membership with us and for a period of time thereafter to allow members to recover accounts if they decide to renew, to analyze the data for our own operations, and for historical and archiving purposes associated with our history as a membership organization. For more information on where and how long your personal data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact our data protection officer at gdpr@BumOne.org.

  • Client data, i.e. data collected due to your subscription to our mailing list, will be erased as soon as possible after your deregistration to the mailing list.

 

Inquiries

  • Stored until six months after completion of processing of your inquiry.

 

Surveys

  • Stored up to five years after receipt. To the extent possible, we will store your feedback in an anonymous form, and we have a long duration of storage in order to measure our own performance over time.

 

In general, if we have reason to store your personal data as part of the protection of our legitimate interests, including, for example, legal disputes, we reserve our right to store your personal data for an extended period and minimum until the legal dispute has been determined.

VI. Transfer of Your Personal Data

 

We do not rent or sell personally identifiable information with other individuals or organizations.

However, we may transfer your personal data to third parties when it is necessary in order to provide you with our service. Third parties shall mean:

  • Undertakings in the BumOne Group

  • Business partners

  • Security-cleared data processors/subcontractors, who are assisting us or the group with IT or other services

 

When we transfer your personal data to business partners, you should be aware that they might have stored personal data concerning you collected by other means, e.g. if you have been in contact with them in another context.

 

We also transfer your personal data to the above or other third parties if we are obliged to do so according to legislation or in order to protect our or the group’s interests in legal disputes.

VII. For EU Citizens

 

File Storage and Security

 

BumOne partners with a security-cleared data processor to store files and data on secure servers. This data processor has self-certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and thereby guarantees an appropriate standard of data protection and operates to an appropriate standard of data security.

All data is accessed via secure connections in the United States.

In spite of our efforts to establish a secure environment for the website, you should be aware that no information is completely secure on the internet. Therefore, you should always take the necessary safeguards on your own equipment.

 

Your Rights

 

You have the right of access to the personal data we are processing concerning you, as well as to have your personal data updated, rectified, or erased, or to obtain a copy of your personal data. All requests shall be made in writing to gdpr@BumOne.org.

Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries

 

BumOne partners with various IT vendors and from time to time. This will result in a transfer of personal data to a third country or international organization.

In order to ensure a sufficient level of security for such transfer in accordance with the GDPR,

 

BumOne has chosen to work only with vendors that:

  • have certified compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, or

  • have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses with BumOne.

 

A copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses can be obtained by contacting gdpr@BumOne.org.

Complaints

This policy does not apply to information collected offline or on other BumOne, LLC company websites, platforms, or apps.

 

X. Information We Collect About You

bumone.app is a website intended for adults 21 years of age and older only. We collect information from and about you. bumone.app allows you to sign up to receive future communications and resources about subjects including excise taxes and sales restrictions. To do so, we ask you for certain information (such as your name, email address, and postal address) so we can provide you with the communications and resources you request.

 

Additionally, you may let your elected officials know your views by contacting them and entering certain information (such as your name, address, and email address) on our site. Your contact information allows us to automatically match your communications to the appropriate elected officials, assist you in registering to vote and requesting an absentee ballot, and help you contact your elected officials. We also collect the information you post on our site or when you contact us. We may also collect information about you from third parties.

XI. Other Information We Collect

We also collect information about your computer and Internet usage. This might include your geolocation.

Furthermore, we also might have third parties that collect personal information this way.

XII. Tracking Technologies

We – or third parties we work with – use several common passive data collection technologies. These may include cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies.

Like many companies, we use “cookies” on this website. Cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain websites.

Cookies allow us to “customize” your user experience. When you register with bumone.app, you are able to utilize many of the resources available on the site that align with your home address (e.g., communicating with your elected officials). At the moment of registration, a cookie is set that tells us on future visits to send you directly to your homepage of choice. By segmenting the audience in this way, we can surface information that is appropriate. That way, you will have an easier time getting to the information that you are looking for on repeat visits.

XIII. Our Do Not Track Policy

Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals.

XIV. We Use Information as Disclosed and Described Here

We use the information to respond to your requests or questions. Likewise, we also use the information to improve our services. For example, we might use your information to customize your experience with us. We also use the information to look at site trends, customer interests, and security purposes.

We also may share information provided by our website visitors with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf. These service providers are required to use or disclose the information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.
