The General Data Protection Regulation of European Union countries and other countries’ privacy laws provide various rights for data subjects.

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with information about what personal data BNW Developments collects about you and how it is used.

You may request information through our Data Subject Access Portal about the categories of personal data, the reasons for the processing, who else outside BNW Developments might have received the data from BNW Developments, what the source of the information was (in case you didn’t provide it directly to BNW Developments), and where the personal data is stored and how long it will be retained.

You have a right to rectify the record of your personal data maintained by BNW Developments if it is inaccurate by requesting BNW Developments to erase that data or stop processing it, subject to certain exceptions. You may also ask BNW Developments for your personal data to be updated, or for their transformation into an anonymous format or to block any data held in violation of the law, as well as to oppose their treatment for all legitimate purposes.

You can withdraw your consent for the processing of personal data by BNW Developments at any time. You may also request that BNW Developments stop using your data for marketing and promotional purposes as well.

If you enter sensitive information (such as login credentials) on our chat form or order form, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt that information. Keep in mind that no data transmission over the internet can be given 100% safety. As such, BNW Developments cannot warrant or guaranty the security of any information that you transmit through its websites. You are doing it solely at your own risk.
