Typically, we collect this information via the forms on our website.

Bama requires its Authorized Providers to provide appropriate privacy protection comparable to ours for your personal information.
Also, Bama may sell or purchase assets during the course of our business. If another entity acquires us or any of our assets (in a merger, reorganization, or otherwise), personal information we have collected about you may be transferred to such entity. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to require that the transferee use the personal information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Children are cautioned to be smart online. Children should not give out your full name, e-mail address, home address, telephone number or any other personal information that would enable someone to contact you either online or offline without first asking your parent for permission.

When a parent requests deletion of his or her child’s information, we will use reasonable efforts to delete as much of the child’s information from our database as possible and refrain from collecting any other personal information from such child. However, there may be residual information that will remain within our databases that may or may not contain personally identifiable information. This residual information will not be given to any other third party or used for any commercial purpose.
