We aim for this Website to be a safe and enjoyable environment for you.

This privacy policy (hereafter the “Policy“) primarily describes:

• the information that BNL collects through the Website, which is hosted and operated from Nepal

• the security measures BNL has in place to protect the information that BNL gathers through the Website

This Policy does not govern BNL’s collection of information through any website, or by any other means, other than through this Website, or the collection of information by any parent, or subsidiaries of BNL (“Other Entities”).

Visitors are encouraged to read this Policy before using the Website. By using the Website, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use of the Website, available at Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy and the Terms and Conditions of Use of the Website, please do not use the Website.

1. Information gathered by BNL through the website

BNL gathers two basic types of information through the Website: (i) “Personal Information,” information from which an individual can be identified, and (ii) “Aggregate Information,” from which an individual cannot be identified.

• Personal Information: You are not ordinarily required to register or provide Personal Information in order to access the Website, though certain functionalities such as participating in any consumer promos, contests, etc., may require registration. BNL collects Personal Information from you only when you voluntarily provide it to BNL – for example, in contacting BNL through the Website, filling in the form for applying for a vacancy or while requesting for a visit to the manufacturing plant of BNL, or exploring business opportunities with BNL, answering surveys and polls, entering contests, sweepstakes, raffles and similar promotions, signing up for email updates and announcements concerning BNL’s products and special promotions, and purchasing BNL’s merchandise. Personal Information may include your contact information (such as your name, postal address, telephone numbers and/or email address), as well as your payment information, if required, such as credit card number and expiration date (“Payment Information”), which will be collected if you wish to purchase any product or merchandise made available through the Website (“Transaction”).
• Aggregate Information: When you visit the Website, BNL and the third parties with whom BNL has contracted to provide services, may collect anonymous information from three sources: server log files, cookies, and pixel tags.
• Server Log Files: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in BNL’s server log files whenever you visit the Website, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. IP addresses of all Visitors are used by BNL to calculate the Website usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the Website’s servers, and to administer the Website. BNL may also use IP addresses to communicate or to block access by Visitors who fail to comply with the Policy and/or the Terms and Conditions of Use of the Website. Collecting IP addresses is a standard practice followed on the Internet and is carried out automatically by many websites.
• Cookies: Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual’s computer for record keeping purposes. Cookies are an industry standard used by most websites and help facilitate users’ ongoing access to and use of a particular website. Cookies do not cause damage to the computer system or files, and only the website that transfers a particular cookie to the computer system can read, modify or delete such cookie. If you do not want your information to be collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure to be followed, in most of the browsers, by the user that allows the user to delete existing cookies, automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of particular cookies to the user’s computer system. You should note, however, that declining cookies may make it difficult or impossible for you to access certain portions of the Website.
• Pixel Tags: The Website may use so-called “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively, “Pixel Tags”) to compile aggregate statistics about Website usage and response rates. Pixel Tags enables BNL to maintain a count of the users who have visited certain pages of the Website. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and as to when the email was opened and read by the receiver of the e-mail.
