We may collect information, including Personally Identifiable Information, when you provide such information to us directly, such as when you submit a contact form through our Website, send us an email or resume, register for one of our Events or otherwise interact with us on the Website or Services. Your provision of your Personally Identifiable Information to us is completely voluntary. “Personally Identifiable Information” is information that specifically identifies you. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information unless you submit that information to us.
Categories of Personally Identifiable Information we collect directly from you include contact information including your full name, email, phone number and mailing address. We may also collect other information that you directly provide us including the country, city, state and zip code in which you are located, the name of your employer or educational institution, your job title, and marketing and communications data, such as your preferences in receiving marketing from us and the content of your communications with us.
Bridgemark, our service providers or our third party partners may also automatically collect information from you when you interact with our Services or visit our Website through cookies and other tracking technologies. Such information does not directly identify you as an individual and may include:
We may store some information on your device or device hard drive as a cookie or similar type of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Website or our other Services. “Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a website for the purpose of collecting data to facilitate and enhance your communication and interaction with that website. Such data may include, without limitation, the address of the websites you visited before and after you visited the Website, the type of browser you are using, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, what pages in the Website you visit and what links you clicked on, the region where your device is located, and geo-IP data.We may use cookies to customize your visit to the Website and for other purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our Services.
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the Website. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our Website, how visitors navigate throughout the Website and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors. This information will be used to improve our Website and our Services.
We may work with third-party service providers who use the technologies described in this section to conduct website analytics to help us track and understand how visitors use our Website.
We use Personally Identifiable Information and other information as described herein including for the following purposes:
We also reserve the right to supplement your Personally Identifiable Information with information we gather from other sources which may include information we gather from online and offline sources. Finally, we reserve the right to use and disclose information that is not Personally Identifiable Information in any manner permitted by law except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
As noted above, we may collect information that is not Personally Identifiable Information (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). We may aggregate or de-identify Personally Identifiable Information so that the information does not personally identify you or anyone else directly. Because Non-Personally Identifiable Information, including aggregate or de-identified information, does not personally identify you directly, we may collect, use and disclose Non-Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose permitted by law and subject to the section titled “California Consumer Notice”. In some instances, we may combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information. If we combine any Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personally Identifiable Information.
Besides using your Personally Identifiable Information ourselves, we may send your Personally Identifiable Information and other information to other companies, affiliates and third parties in the following instances:
Please note that if you specifically consent to additional uses of your Personally Identifiable Information, we may use your Personally Identifiable Information in a manner consistent with that consent.

Only those employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access to your Personally Identifiable Information.

Only you, or a person or business entity registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf (an “authorized agent”), may make the requests set forth above.
The request should include your contact information and describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request (and will not be made more than twice in a 12-month period). If we cannot comply with a request, or cannot fully comply with a request, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following internet web page:
Alternatively, you may submit an opt-out request by contacting us at info@bridgemarkmg.com.
