This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) discloses the privacy practices for the website located at www.bycap.com and various related services (together referred to as the "Site"). This Policy applies to information we collect on the Site or in an e-mail, text, and other electronic messages between you and the Site. The provider of the Site, Bycap, Inc., an Illinois corporation with its principal place of business located at 5505 N. Wolcott Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60640, USA (referred to herein as "us" or "we"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your privacy through compliance with this Policy. Please read the information below to learn the following regarding your use of this Site.
You acknowledge that this Policy is part of our Site Terms of Use, and by accessing or using our Site, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this Site.
We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time. Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to, issuing an e-mail to the e-mail address provided by users and posting the revised Policy on this page. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Policy when you access the Site and to be aware of any modifications. Your continued use of the Site after such modifications will constitute your: (a) acknowledgment of the modified Policy; (b) acceptance of the changes to the Policy; and (c) agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Policy.
In order to better provide you with our numerous services, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our Site.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this Site, such as submitting a message through the “Contact Us” section of the Site, filling out a survey, or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), e-mail address, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal identifying information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We may gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.
We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you (a) submit a message through the “Contact Us” section of the Site; (b) send e-mail messages, submit forms or transmit other information by telephone or letter; or (c) otherwise voluntarily provide us with your Personally Identifiable Information.
In addition, we may also collect, or our third-party ad servers and/or content servers may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We may use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Site and to gather demographic information. Our third-party ad servers may also provide us with summary, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our Site.
We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services to you, as required by our agreements with you. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of our Site, fill orders, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Site use, improve our product and service offerings, and customize our Site's content, layout, and services. We may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Terms of Use and this Policy.
We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any Personally Identifiable Information:
We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others. We may provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with affiliates, services providers, partners and other third parties. We and our service partners use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our Site and to deliver their services. For example, we may release your address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered and provide order information to third parties that help us provide customer service.
We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personally Identifiable Information by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners, and is not subject to our control.
In addition, Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information may be disclosed as part of any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of the assets of Bycap, Inc., or sale of ownership interests in Bycap, Inc., as well as in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which such information could be transferred to third parties as one of our business assets.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to otherwise cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
We may also provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers' sales, traffic patterns, and related Site information to third-party advertisers, but these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.
You have a right to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you have provided to us by sending an appropriate request to Elliott Weddington at 5505 N. Wolcott Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60640. Please include your name, address, and/or e-mail address when you contact us. We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes.
You may ask us to remove or delete your Personally Identifiable Information at any time by sending an appropriate request via email to [email protected]. Note that it may be impossible to completely delete your information without certain residual information saved in backups.
We may, from time to time, send you e-mails regarding our products and services. In addition, if you indicated that you are interested in receiving offers or information from us and our partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only Bycap, Inc. (or agents working on behalf of Bycap, Inc. and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not object to these offers. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply send an appropriate request to [email protected] asking to be omitted from future mailings.
At our Site you can be assured that your Personally Identifiable Information is secure, consistent with current industry standards. The importance of security for all Personally Identifiable Information associated with our user is of utmost concern to us. Your Personally Identifiable Information resides on secure servers that only selected Bycap, Inc. personnel and contractors have access to via password. We make every effort to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to us.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.
When you use our Site we may store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate and customize your use of our Site. A cookie is a small data text file, which a Site stores on your computer's hard drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you to us.

We may use an outside ad service company to display banner advertisements on our Site. As part of their service, they will place a separate cookie on your computer. We will not provide any third-party ad servers with any of your Personally Identifiable Information or information about your purchases. We and our third-party ad servers may collect and use Non-Personally Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address, browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the area code and zip code associated with your server and whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers may also place banner ads on our Site in the same manner as above, but we will not disclose any Personally Identifiable Information to them.
Except as otherwise discussed in this Policy, this document only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. Other sites accessible through our Site have their own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult each third-party site's privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties. Additionally, other companies which place advertising on our Site may collect information about you when you view or click on their advertising through the use of cookies.
