This Privacy Policy is the Bruer® LLC official privacy policy and it applies to all personal information collected by Bruer® LLC. In this policy, we explain how and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, and what controls you have over our use of it.

 

Bruer® LLC is committed to complying with applicable local legislation and to protecting and safeguarding your privacy when you deal with us.

 

1. Collection of information
 

Some information provided to us by clients, customers, contractors and other third parties might be considered private or personal. Without these details we would not be able to carry on our business and provide our services to you. We will only collect such personal information if it is necessary for one of our functions or activities. The kinds of personal information that Bruer® LLC collects includes:

  • names

  • contact details

  • financial information

  • information about credit history (for account customers)
     

In particular, personal information is collected from people in the following situations by Bruer® LLC:

  • If you contact Bruer® LLC, we may keep a record of that correspondence;

  • When you apply for and/or establish and/or access an account or order product;

  • When you submit your email address to our website mailing list;

  • When you place an order on our website to purchase goods, we may require you to provide us with contact information including your name, address, telephone number or email address and financial information (such as credit card details).
     

Financial information that is collected via the website is used by us to bill you for products and services. Any financial information that is collected is for the purpose of transaction approval and funds transfer. The financial information we collect from you is kept securely and held on secure servers in controlled facilities.

 

At or before the time the personal information is collected by us, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of who we are, the fact that you are able to gain access to the information held about you, the purpose of the collection, the type(s) of organizations to which we usually disclose the information collected about you, any laws requiring the collection of the information and the main consequences for you if all or part of the information is not collected.

 

Use of information collected and disclosure of personal information to others

We may use or disclose personal information held about an individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected (e.g. provision of our services, including administration of our services, notification to you about changes to our services, record-keeping following termination of our services to you and technical maintenance) - that is, to carry on our business and provide services to our customers. We may also use such information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and where you would reasonably expect that we would use the information in such a way. This information is only disclosed to persons outside our business in the circumstances set out in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at the time of collection of the information, or with your permission.

  • Where we reasonably suspect that unlawful activity has been, is being or may be engaged in and the use or disclosure is a necessary part of our investigation or in reporting the matter to the relevant authorities;

  • Where such use or disclosure is required under or authorized by law (for example, to comply with a subpoena, a warrant or other order of a court or legal process);

  • Where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary for prevention, investigation, prosecution and punishment of crimes or wrongdoings or the preparation for, conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal or the implementation of the orders of a court or tribunal by or on behalf of an enforcement body.
