Bus Service Inc. (“BSI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website located at https://buyabus.net (the “Site”) and provides related products and services (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights available to you.
By using the Site or our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Policy applies to personal information collected through the Site, our sales and support interactions, quote or order requests, account registrations, surveys, and any other channel that links to this Policy. It does not apply to third-party sites we do not control, even if linked from our Site.
2. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of information:
– Identifiers – name, company name, job title, email address, mailing address, phone number, and similar contact details.
– Account and transaction information – order history, quote requests, billing and shipping details, and payment-related information (payment card numbers are processed by our payment processor and are not stored on our servers).
– Commercial information – products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, and purchasing preferences.
– Internet and network activity – IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited, referring URLs, and interactions with the Site, collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).
– Geolocation data – approximate location inferred from your IP address, or precise location if you affirmatively provide it (e.g., a service address).
– Employment and professional information – for job applicants or business contacts, information such as resume/CV contents, employer, and professional history.
– Inferences – preferences or characteristics inferred from the information above, used to personalize your experience.
– Voluntary submissions – information you choose to provide through contact forms, surveys, chat, phone, or email correspondence.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as Social Security numbers or government ID numbers) except where necessary for a specific transaction (e.g., financing applications) and permitted by law.
3. HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION
– Directly from you – when you request a quote, place an order, create an account, subscribe to communications, complete a survey, apply for a job, or contact us.
– Automatically – through cookies, web beacons, log files, and similar technologies when you use the Site (see Section 5).
– From third parties – such as business partners, dealers or distributors, service providers, publicly available sources, and social media platforms, where permitted by law.
4. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use personal information to:
– Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our Services;
– Process quotes, orders, payments, and fulfill contracts;
– Communicate with you, including responding to inquiries and sending service, transactional, and (where permitted) marketing communications;
– Personalize content and measure the effectiveness of our marketing;
– Conduct analytics and statistical research to improve our products and Services;
– Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, security incidents, and other unlawful activity;
– Comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights and the rights of others; and
– Support corporate transactions (e.g., mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales), in which personal information may be transferred as a business asset.
5. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
We and our service providers use cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies to recognize your browser or device, remember preferences, understand how the Site is used, and support advertising and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them; doing so may affect Site functionality. We do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals, but where required by applicable law we honor recognized opt-out preference signals (e.g., Global Privacy Control) for targeted advertising and the sale/sharing of personal information.
6. HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share personal information with:
– Service providers and processors who perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, hosting, analytics, customer support, and shipping/logistics;
– Affiliates and business partners, including authorized dealers or distributors, for purposes consistent with this Policy;
– Professional advisors such as auditors, lawyers, and insurers, where necessary;
– Government authorities or other third parties where required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BSI, our users, or others; and
– A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
Some data-sharing arrangements with advertising or analytics partners may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under certain state laws even though no money changes hands. See Section 9 for your opt-out rights.
7. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or anonymize it.
8. SECURITY
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration, including encryption for sensitive data in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
– Access the personal information we hold about you;
– Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
– Delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions;
– Data portability – receive your information in a portable format;
– Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted/cross-context behavioral advertising;
– Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
