5. 5. Children

   BWT understands the importance of protecting children's privacy, especially in an online environment. BWT adheres to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which applies in the United States. Consequently, we do not knowingly collect, maintain or use information from our Websites about children under the age of 13. If we discover personal information from a child through our Websites, we will eliminate that data.

   While BWT will employ commercially appropriate procedures to help ensure that your information is only used for authorized purposes as described above, BWT cannot make any guarantees with respect to the actions or policies of such third parties. BWT will not sell or share personally identifiable information about its customers with any third party unless one of the following applies:

   • We have the authority of the customer to share the information.
   • We have a need to share the information with our affiliates and in order to provide a customer with a specific product or service. These include companies that assist us in providing services to our customers; supply us with information for identifying or evaluating prospective customers; or are given the opportunity to send mailings to approved BWT customer lists. Unless the customer is otherwise notified and provides consent, the affiliate does not have the right to use the information beyond what is required to provide the product or service.
   • We are required by law to disclose the information.
   • A specific product or service provided by BWT may require disclosure of PII to an unaffiliated third party that is our business partner and who has a need to know the information to provide products or services in the course of our business partnership. Business partners are asked to verify that they follow similar or equivalent privacy practices in the protection of PII in their possession.
