How The Non-Personally Identifiable Information Collected Is Used.
BLF currently contracts with online partners to help manage and optimize BLF’s Internet business and communications. BLF may use the services of a marketing company to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and how visitors use the Site. To do this, we may use web beacons and cookies provided by a marketing company for use on the Site. By way of example, BLF may use cookies to: (1) personalize users’ experiences when visiting and using the Site; (2) improve the design and content of the Site and / or the Content; (3) analyze Site usage; (4) understand traffic patterns on the Site and to authorize access to certain premium or trial content and product features; and (5) track users’ usage of the Site and / or the Content and to track Users’ interactions with the Site through the third-party services.

By supplementing our records, this information helps BLF gather information, such as which pages are most attractive to users, which BLF products most interest users, and what types of offers users like to see. Although a marketing company engaged by BLF may log the information coming from the Site on BLF’s behalf, BLF will control how that data may and may not be used. BLF reserves the right to disclose or otherwise utilize this non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form, for any purpose, in its sole judgment.
Updating Users’ Personal Information.
BLF will use reasonable efforts to allow users to update or correct personally identifiable information to the extent that changing such data will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon the request of a user, BLF will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally delete such user’s personally identifiable information from BLF’s database; however, it may be impossible to delete all of a user’s information without some residual data because of periodic backups and records of deletions. Any personally identifiable information collected by a content delivery provider may also be governed by such content delivery provider’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. It is each user’s responsibility to make certain that BLF has your most current e-mail address if you request that it be added to our email suppression list.
Users may request that their information be changed, corrected or deleted from BLFs databases by writing BLF at: info@bodhilove.org Customer Relations, 20/F, 68 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Please be aware that even if a user opts out of receiving commercial communications from BLF, BLF reserves the right to send transactional or relationship communications to such user (for example, if BLF needs to contact a user regarding account status, technical support, product information, changes to the subscriber agreement, and any other matter that might affect BLF ‘s service to users and / or our records on users and / or any products purchased from BLF).
