Purpose of the BWS App: The BWS App will be used to facilitate reporting to BWS of certain information such as time worked by employees, work performed, and expenses incurred. Other information might be obtained to properly assign and make use of such work-related information, such as the User’s full name, date of birth, social security number, or driver’s license number. Other information on the User, the device on which the User downloads or makes use of the BWS App, and the application will also be gathered and used to ensure other information described in this paragraph is accurate and used properly and to assess performance of the BWS App. Such information includes form data (for example autofill or auto population) information, usage data (for example when, how often and for how long you use the BWS App), device data (such as IP address or other device identifying data), and location data. All of the information described in this paragraph is referred to as “User Information”.
Use of User Information: User Information will generally be used for internal business purposes.

BWS will not sell User Information and will take reasonable steps to secure and prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of User Information, with the following caveats:
(1) Some disclosure of User Information to third parties is required by law. For example, information related to time worked and work performed and resulting compensation will be disclosed to government agencies as required by law. A request for User Information might also be made under the law, such as by way of a subpoena or court order and BWS might have to provide User Information in response.
(2) User Information gathered through or obtained by way of the BWS App might be shared with third parties to facilitate the business of BWS. For example, User Information might also be shared with a client of BWS, such as to receive reimbursement for work performed or expense incurred by a BWS employee or to prove progress on a project.
(3) User Information can be used by BWS to enforce its rights, such as in a legal proceeding in which You are a party or are involved.
(4) The BSW App was developed by a third-party vendor, Merge Mobile, Inc. Merge Mobile may use certain User Information, such as location, usage and device data, to analyze and improve the performance of the BWS App. BWS does not in any way accept responsibility for unauthorized disclosures and misuse of BWS Information due to deficiencies in or breaches of the BWS App itself, nor does it accept any responsibility for unauthorized disclosures or misuse of User Information gathered or stored by Merge Mobile.
