Breach Secure Now. (“BSN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) oversees this website PII-Protect.com (collectively, the “Site”) and related services (collectively, our “Services”). We have developed this Privacy Policy to inform our users (“user(s),” “you,” or “your”) about how we collect information in the course of providing our Services and conducting our business, how we use the collected information, and your rights with respect to any information we collect. For clarity, this Privacy Policy is only applicable to our Site and Services, and not to any other website that you may be able to access therefrom, each of which may have different data collection and use practices. Please consult the policies of those websites to understand your data privacy rights on those websites.
We ask that you read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, then do not access or use the Site. By accessing and/or using the Services, you accept and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service. Your use of our Services and any Personal Information you provide through the Services are subject to this Privacy Policy at all times.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected] or at the contact information below.
When you use the Services, we collect the following types of Information:
1. Non-Personal Information
“Non-Personal Information” means information that does not directly, personally identify you, but provides insights regarding your use of the Site. For example, we collect information about your use of the Site, including but not limited to your IP address, online behavior, Internet connections, mobile, or other device computer equipment, sites or other destinations visited before and after using or accessing the Services, date/time stamps, the time of your visits, content viewed, and other similar information about traffic and usage, as you navigate to, through, and away from our Site, including other clickstream data.

In some jurisdictions, such as certain states within the United States, an IP address may be considered Non-Personal Information. In other jurisdictions, such as in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), an IP address is considered Personal Information under applicable data protection laws. If this is the case, we process IP addresses for the same purposes as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.
