Public Forums Reminder
This site makes forums, blogs and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information. Exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. Although we value individual ideas and encourage free expression, Bostech Corporation reserves the right to take necessary action to preserve the forum's integrity, such as removing any posting that is vulgar or inappropriate.
Web Beacons
In order to determine a user’s ability to receive HTML email in addition to whether or not an email has been opened, Bostech includes a “web beacon” in a majority of the HTML email messages we send. A web beacon (actually a small .gif image) is activated when an HTML email is opened via a request for the image on our servers.
This capability helps Bostech send email in a format users can read and enables Bostech to track the aggregate number of emails opened. The web beacon does not collect any personally identifiable information. Users that do not want to receive email messages with web beacons can choose to receive their emails in text (non-HTML) format.
We also use the capability to track when a URL has been clicked inside of an email message sent by our system. We use this functionality to track which links were clicked and in what quantity, as well as the aggregate number of links clicked. This click tracking functionality does not collect any personally identifiable information.
Links to other Websites
Bostech Corporation is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any other web sites to which we link.
Notification of Changes
Bostech Corporation reserves the right to change this policy from time to time. If we do make changes, the revised Privacy Statement will be posted on this site. A notice will be posted on our homepage for 30 days whenever this privacy statement is changed in a material way. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
