Use of Cookies
The BusinessLOC.com website use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience.
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely
assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued
the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize BusinessLOC.com
pages, or register with BusinessLOC.com site or services, a cookie helps BusinessLOC.com
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process
of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to the same BusinessLOC.com website, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the BusinessLOC.com
features that you customized. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies.
Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your
browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies,
you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the BusinessLOC.com
services or websites you visit. If you provide BusinessLOC.com with user information,
you have the following rights with respect to that information:
- To review the user information that you have supplied to us
- To request that we correct any errors, outdated information, or omissions in user
information that you have supplied to us
- To request that your user information not be used to contact you
- To request that your user information be removed from any solicitation list that
we use
- To request that your user information be deleted from our records and
- To opt out of being solicited by this website or third parties
If you request that your user information be deleted from our records, there may
be a brief delay in our processing that request, while verify that the request is
valid and originates from you as opposed to an unauthorized third party. If you
request that your information be deleted, we reserve the right to terminate and/or
limit your access to the BusinessLOC.com website. To exercise any of these rights,
please contact us at info@BusinessLOC.com.
