The Site automatically records website usage information that we analyze statistically to track operational problems, to prevent fraud and to improve the effectiveness, security and integrity of the site. We do not use this information to track or record information about individuals. We will disclose this information to third parties only in aggregate form or as may be required by law.

Session cookies are employed by Google Analytics in the form of client-side JavaScript code. In utilizing this analytics service, BeWhere maintains its existing standards in regards to the sharing and disclosure of information, security and privacy safeguards for the data, and the data retention policy, each described below.

In addition, parts of the Service may be hosted by a third party on our behalf. Your information may be accessed by such providers/agents, in the event that we need to share your information with them to provide our services or customer support to you. Unless we tell you differently, BeWhere’s agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
