#1. Website and App Users

BSCS collects non-personally-identifying information (browser type, language, referring site, date/time of requests) to better understand how users interact with our Website and Apps. We may publish aggregated reports, e.g., on usage trends.

#2. Personally-Identifying Information

Personally-Identifying Information (PII) may include your name, email, address, school, date of birth, IP address, or other details. BSCS does not sell or rent this information. Disclosure occurs only to staff, contractors, and affiliated organizations that need to process it, and under legal obligations. Users may always refuse to provide PII, with the caveat that it may limit participation.

  • We may share PII with project managers of any project you join.
  • We may disclose PII if compelled by law, if your actions violate our policies, or if necessary to protect BSCS or others.
  • Any PII posted publicly by you will be visible and accessible.

#3. Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Visitors under 13 must obtain adult permission before submitting any PII. If we learn that information from a child under 13 has been collected without consent, we will delete it promptly. Contact us if you believe we may have such information.

#4. Non-PII Aggregate Information

We may use non-identifying and aggregate information to operate and improve our Website and services.

  • Log Files: May include IP addresses, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, OS, and clickstream data.
  • Cookies: Small text files used for navigation and preferences. You can block cookies in your browser, though some features may not work.

#5. Links and Third Parties

Occasionally you may opt in to receive information from third parties. If you do, your communication will be directly with them, and their privacy practices will apply.

#6. Privacy Policy Changes

BSCS may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post a revised version when material changes occur. Your continued use of the Website or Apps after changes indicates your acceptance.
