This Privacy Policy explains how BidStream, LLC (“BidStream,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit thebidstream.com, create an account, or use our products and services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described here.
We may collect the following categories of information:
We use necessary cookies for login and security, and optional analytics cookies to understand usage. Your browser settings may allow you to block cookies; however, some features may not function. If we use analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), those providers may set their own cookies and receive de-identified usage data.
Payments are handled by third‑party processors (e.g., Stripe). Such processors collect and process billing data subject to their own privacy policies. We receive limited payment metadata (e.g., last4, expiration month/year, transaction IDs) and do not store full card numbers on our servers.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising unless explicitly enabled and disclosed.
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We may anonymize or aggregate data for analytics or service improvement and retain that information indefinitely.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise rights, contact us at bidstream@thebidstream.com. We may verify your identity before fulfilling requests.
Residents of certain U.S. states (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah) may have additional rights, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt‑out of certain data sharing. We do not sell personal information. If we engage in cross‑context behavioral advertising, you may opt out via a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link when available, or by emailing bidstream@thebidstream.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
Our Services are intended for business users. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S. or other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
The Services may contain links to third‑party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies before providing personal information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
