Our Commitment to Your Privacy Your privacy is important to us
To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
Comments
When visitors leave comments where possible on the Bering Straits Native Corporation (BSNC) website or any of affiliated subsidiary/joint venture/third party websites, and social media websites, (websites) we collect the data shown in the comments form, and when needed for business purposes we also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with various business procedures.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. If you upload images to any of our social media websites, your image rights are controlled by that social media platform.
If and when BSNC solicits images, we may ask for permission to use the images or ask permission for ownership of the images.
Contact forms
If you use a contact form, whether fillable online through a dynamic form or through a document, we retain the description of the content along with pertinent contact information supplied by you. We offer no warranty and do not offer any liability for use of our contact forms on our websites.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site where comments are possible, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist until this feature is unselected by you. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other non-BSNC websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
BSNC does utilize an encrypted and secure analytic tracking program to help with seeing online traffic to our websites and webpages. Personal data from these analytic tracking programs are anonymous. Data from these analytic tracking programs are shared with the third party vendor in accordance to their own terms of use. This personal data is not profited by BSNC or by its third party vendor.
Who we share your data with
BSNC does not share your data with any company except where it is needed in order to have business procedures executed. Such an example is our BSNC Careers page where this data is held by a third party company.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our websites (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile when possible. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you leave a comment on any of our social media websites, the comments are retained and possibly shared with third party companies. These comments left on social media websites are moderated by BSNC employees, and have to abide by that social media company’s policy.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, or filled out a contact form, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Our Commitment To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Regular content management system updates will be made when possible to ensure that known security risks can never be used to gain access to personal information or data.
Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
