This policy applies to the use and disclosure of any information collected, and the manner in which Biztree collects such information, in the course of your business relationship with us. This policy applies for as long as we hold your information, including after the end of our business relationship.
Our Chief Privacy Officer is responsible for Biztree’s privacy practices. If you have any questions about this policy, you can write to him at the following address: [email protected]

1. Notice
We will clearly inform you when information that personally identifies you (“personal information”) is asked for and you will have the choice to provide it or not. Generally, this information is requested when you install Business in a Box and subscribe to product updates, newsletters or other online services.
2. Usage
We use your personal information for the following purposes:
- To provide you information that will allow you to use Business In a Box

We collect your email when you install the free trial in order to send you informational communications about the various legal and business templates that are included in the software, such as their purpose and the best use you can make of them. We also collect your email to send you our promotional offers.
We may also collect your name, language, currency, operating system, document searched and country information for a better experience with Biztree products.
When you place your order with us, we collect your email in order to send the product key that allows you to activate the software as well as your order receipt. We also collect your phone number in order to contact you in case these emails bounce back because of a typo in your email address and if we cannot figure out what the correct email address is.
We also contact the phone number that is provided if we suspect that the cardholder’s credit card information has been compromised, i.e used in a fraudulent way.
We also use our clients’ email in order to notify of the release of updated versions of the software, new services or promotional offers.
The data is stored indefinitely. This allows us to provide our clients with their product key when they misplace it. The data stored is also stored for sales statistical purposes.
3. Consent
When you provide your personal information, you consent that it can be used for the above purposes and that Biztree is an authorized holder of such information. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use our website but you will not be able to receive additional services or access certain areas that require registration. In order to use Business in a Box you must activate it during or after the installation process. When you activate the software, you are providing your consent to occasionally receive information from us.

We use this information to send you updates about Biztree, order confirmations and information about our services. When you order from us, we ask for your credit card number and billing address. We use this information only to bill you for the product(s) you ordered at that time.
We may on occasion require the help of other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as packaging, shipping and delivery, customer support and processing event registrations. We will only provide such companies with the information required for them to perform these services; these service providers are bound by strict privacy policies and are prohibited from using your information for any other purpose.
