Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” feature, which is intended to be a signal to websites that you do not wish to be tracked across different websites you visit. Our Platform does not currently change the way they operate based upon detection of a Do Not Track or similar signal.
Please note that we cannot control how third party websites or online services you visit through our Platform respond to Do Not Track signals. Check the privacy policies of those third parties for information on their privacy practices.
THE PRIVACY OF MINORS
This Site is not intended for children or minors, and we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose information of minors who are under the age of eighteen (18). If you believe we may have information about a minor who is under the age of 18, please notify us immediately at support@buildbunker.com
If you are under the age of eighteen, you are not permitted to submit any information to us. In an instance where such information is collected, it will be presumed purely accidental and unintentional.
PROTECTION OF INFORMATION
We are committed to protecting your information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure. We will exercise reasonable care, including implementing necessary administrative, technical and physical controls to protect your information.
Although we take steps to protect personal information, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We will not be responsible or liable for damage, pecuniary or otherwise, caused by a third party’s unauthorized access to or use of your personal information. Further, we will not be responsible for maintaining or storing your personal information or other User Content for any particular time.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND YOUR OPT-OUT RIGHTS
We offer certain choices about how we communicate with you and what information we collected from you. You can choose whether or not to disclose certain personal information when we ask you to do so, but some Services or functions may be more difficult or impossible to use if you choose not to disclose certain Personal Information, and your experience in using the Services will not be as personally tailored. Certain Personal Information must be disclosed before you will be able to access any part of the Services.
You can, at any time, opt-out of us (i) disclosing your personal information to third parties that are not agents of, or providers of service to, us, or (ii) using of your personal information for direct marketing purposes by contacting us at support@buildbunker.com or using the opt-out mechanisms (if any) contained in the Services. To opt out of further communications from a marketing partner or sponsor with whom your information has already been shared, please contact that partner directly. Please note that, even if you have opted out of sharing with third parties, your personal information may still be disclosed to third parties to the extent that you provide it to third parties using the Services (e.g., by posting it using functionality in the Services). If you chose to opt out, we may still send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your accounts and our business dealings with you.
ACCESSING, CORRECTING, UPDATING AND REMOVING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We acknowledge the right of EU and Swiss individuals to access their personal data. If your personal information changes, or if you no longer wish to receive non-account specific information from us, you can access, correct, update and/or remove personal information about you that we have collected by emailing your request to us at support@buildbunker.com or by using the functionality contained in the Services (if any). When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we act on your request. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup systems). Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We seek to protect information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems. Unless you request that we remove your personal information, we will retain it for as long as your account and use of the Services remain active and for a period of time after that in order to provide you with the unique, personalized experiences generated by the Services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users that are residents of California to request certain information regarding our disclosures of personal information to third parties for such third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Please email us at support@buildbunker.com or write us at the address above to submit your request.

When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.
IP Addresses. Every device connected to the Internet is assigned a number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) Address. These numbers are usually assigned in geographic blocks. An IP address can often be used to identify the location from which a device is connecting to the Internet.

Unique Device Identifiers. A unique device identifier (sometimes called a Universally Unique ID or UUID) is a string of characters that is incorporated into a device by its manufacturer and can be used to uniquely identify that device (for example an IMEI-number of a mobile phone). Different device identifiers vary in how permanent they are, whether they can be reset by users, and how they can be accessed. A given device may have several different unique device identifiers. Unique device identifiers can be used for various purposes, including security and fraud detection, syncing services such as a user’s email inbox, remembering the user’s preferences and providing relevant advertising.
