Usage Details, IP Addresses and Cookies
We automatically collect your browser type and browser software version to tailor the presentation of services to your platform and to maintain a record of your activity on the site.

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive and enable users to specify unique preferences and to track user trends and patterns. As an automatic process, our web server software records a log file of IP addresses that access the site. We also collect IP address information but do not ordinarily link IP addresses to users’ personal information. However, will use IP addresses to identify a user when we, in our sole discretion, determine that it is necessary to enforce compliance with our various policies or to protect our services, site, customers or others.
Third-Party Advertiser Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some advertisements on our site are served by third-party advertisers, ad networks and ad servers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about our users. This may include information about your behavior on this and other sites to serve you advertisements that may be of interest to you. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. For information about how you can opt out of receiving targeted advertising from many providers, please see the “Opt-Out Policy” section of this Privacy Policy above.
Sharing Your Information
Bask enters into co-branding relationships with third-party websites and companies to provide products and services to our customers. If you are a Bask customer, Bask may share your personal information with certain co-branded third-party service or product providers solely as required to provide a specific product or service that you request from a co-branded page or co-branded site (in other words, to obtain the services you have selected). However, these third-party partners are obligated not to use this personal information for any reason other than to provide the service or product that you have explicitly signed up for. If you join Bask through a co-branded site (e.g., on a co-branded registration page), it is Bask’s general policy not to share anything other than summarized or aggregated data with the partner; however, any personal information you provide may also be received by the co-branded site and could be stored and used by the co-branded service or product provider according to their privacy policy. We strongly encourage you to take the time to review these third-party privacy policies.
In addition, aggregated non-personally identifiable (in other words, anonymous) information is routinely gathered for purposes of identifying the use of the site, including information such as what pages are being visited most, what domains our visitors are coming from (i.e. google.com), when our servers are busiest, and what websites are referring users to us and aggregated data for purposes of analysis and gathering statistical information. This information helps us to improve and evaluate our services and marketing efforts. This information may be shared with third parties. The treatment of non-personally identifiable information is subject to change in accordance with the then applicable law. We own all rights in and to this data. We may also provide these non-personally identifiable statistics about our customers’ interests and preferences, services sold, traffic patterns and related site information to third parties.
Though we use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law or legal process (such as a court order), in response to a request by law enforcement authorities or in connection with a governmental investigation or under similar circumstances wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a governmental investigation or directive, court order or legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss. We may also disclose personal information to enforce or apply our Service Terms and Conditions (located at www.bask.com/terms) and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes, and if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bask, our customers or others.
Additionally, we may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide to us to a buyer or other successor in the event of a change in ownership, merger or sale or transfer of some or all of Bask’s assets in which personal information held by Bask about our users is among the assets transferred. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you (for example, by posting on our site) of any such change in ownership, merger or acquisition of Bask’s assets.
For clarity, we only use or share personal information provided to us in any the ways described in this Privacy Policy.
Preventing Unauthorized Access to Your Information
When appropriate, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server software to help prevent unauthorized access to the information you submit online. If and when you place orders or access your account information, SSL technology encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. You can identify the secure connection by looking at the URL, which will begin with “https:” (instead of “http:”). Please note that although we have implemented measures designed to help protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data as it travels over the Internet.
Accessing and Updating Your Information
If you register for an account with us, you can review the personal information you provided Bask and update such information by accessing your account. If you update any of your information, we may keep a copy of the information which you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented herein. If you have questions regarding your ability to update or remove information, or relating to this Privacy Policy, you may email us at CustomerService@bask.com. We are not responsible for any loss or misuse of your username and password. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY YOU SHOULD NOT SHARE YOUR USERNAME OR PASSWORD WITH OTHERS.
Use of Your Personal Information Following Termination
We may save your personal information in the event you desire to reactivate your account and we may contact you to offer you new program options. If you would like to opt-out of these Bask marketing or promotional emails, please either click “unsubscribe” in the body of the email communication or send an email to Unsubscribe@bask.com to be removed.
To cancel your service plan(s), refer to the steps outlined in our Service Terms and Conditions available at www.bask.com/terms. If you terminate your membership, your personal information cannot be recovered; however, you may continue to receive email communications for a short period of time until we have updated all of our databases.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, your personal information will remain on our archived database and records. We will not use this archived personal information except to the extent we believe it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or if required by law. In addition to the above, we will maintain information on users who have been removed for violating any of our agreements.
