1. Collecting Personal Information
BMM may collect information about you from your use of its website, or where you otherwise provide us with information, such as when you enter into our promotions, competitions, or complete surveys. BMM will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual without their consent. The only personal information we may collect is what you volunteer to tell us about yourself, which may include general personal information, and information about your demographics, income, spending habits and potential purchases.
When dealing with us, you will have the option of not identifying yourself or of using a pseudonym, unless it is impractical for us to deal with you in this way in relation to a particular matter.
We may use this information for business and marketing purposes or to improve BMM’s products and services. We may also use this information for our reasonable business purposes, for example to provide you with information we believe may be of interest, including marketing and promotional material.
If you give us information when you submit an enquiry or complaint, we will first use that information to respond to your enquiry or complaint and may also use such information for our internal corporate purposes, such as monitoring and improving customer service aspects of our Website.
We may also collect data from your use of the website, such as the date and time you access the site, the type of browser you use and the web site from which you connected to the site.

We may analyse and aggregate this data for certain trends and statistics, such as which parts of our website users are visiting and how long they spend there. We may share this aggregated information, if needed, with our content providers in order to enhance the service we can provide to our customers.
We do not wish to obtain personal information from minors (being under the age of 18 years) who are using our site unsupervised. Therefore, we ask minors (to obtain the consent of their parent or guardian before providing us with any personal information.
If we receive personal information that we did not solicit from you, and if we decide that such information is not reasonably necessary for or directly related to one of our business activities, we will destroy or de-identify that information as soon as practical if it is lawful to do so.
As soon as practicable after we collect personal information from you, we will notify you of the following matters:
• our identity and contact details
• the purposes for which we collect that information
• that under our privacy policy you can access and seek to correct that information
• how under our privacy policy you can make a complaint and how we will deal with that

are likely to be located
