1. Acceptance of Privacy Policy

By using or accessing Behomm, you (“you” or “user” or “member” or “visitor”) are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. For your personal data to be stored in the Behomm data files, your consent is expressly required, except if the processing of your data is required for the fulfillment of an obligation by Behomm (such as managing invitations sent by a member or the Behomm founders). Your acceptance of this Privacy Policy is necessary for the management of the personal data you supply. No personal data shall be stored in Behomm files unless you accept this Privacy Policy, except when collected through an invitation sent by a member or the Behomm founders.

2. Collection of Personal Data

CONTACT VIA EMAIL
We collect the personal data that you voluntarily provide us during an inquire for information regarding our services and offerings and during the request of such services. We will only collect the necessary personal data in order to answer you and to comply with your requirements for information as well as to ensure the fulfillment of any obligation by Behomm (such as the member registration process).

We recommend that you read and periodically review their privacy policies before interacting with Behomm through the aforementioned social networks.

NEWSLETTER
In case you request to receive our newsletter, your personal information (email) will be used to keep you informed about our services and products. You can always opt out following the link included in each newsletter or in your account settings.

Behomm does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the legal age or knowingly allow such persons to register. Should you suspect that data exists that was provided by someone under the legal age, please notify us immediately at the email address: hola [ at ] behomm [ dot ] com.

3. Use of Personal Data

We will only process the following categories of personal information:

Your identifiable information like first and last name, ID card/passport, email address, home address, telephone.
Information about your property including pictures that you have decided to upload.
Your personal interests.
Information about your family or job.

The personal data collected from you will be stored and kept in secure data files managed by Behomm with the purpose of providing you with the service or information you request and Behomm will employ this data in relation to its regular activities and procedures. Additionally, if you’ve requested to receive Behomm communications, you agree and consent that Behomm may send you information regarding other products and activities of Behomm related to your interests, pursuant to your requests.

Behomm shall not transfer your personal data to any third parties, other than those to whom you authorize us in order to provide a requested service; therefore you expressly consent, in these cases, that Behomm shall transfer your personal data. Behomm will retain your personal data only for our internal use; we will not sell nor rent it, without your prior and express consent. We will maintain your data in our system in the case of inquiries or to provide a requested service.

Behomm shall not retain member’s financial information including bank account numbers. All payments shall be taken care of through qualified third party payment platforms. You submit your financial information to them, not to Behomm.

Behomm will never share, sell nor rent your email address to anyone unless you give us your permission.

Your email address will never be public when you use our Site, not even to members.

Should you decide to give Behomm express consent to use your photos and/or information for promotion of Behomm in the media, your surname, email address, and home address will remain totally private.

DATA RETENTION POLICY

The details of potential users who finally decide not to contract any of our services shall be deleted one (1) year after the contact is made and only if she/he has shown no further interest in our services. Where a service is requested, the details shall be processed while the business relationship remains active and, once concluded, for the time required for the fulfillment of Behomm’s services and the company’s legal liabilities.

4. Invitations

When a member uses our invitation service for inviting a friend to join Behomm, we ask them for the friend’s email address. Behomm will automatically send the friend an email inviting her/him to visit the Site. Behomm stores this information for the purpose of sending this invitation email to allow that person being referred to enter through her/his invitation code. The person being referred may contact Behomm to request the removal of this information from the database at any time.

5. Computer Tracking and Cookies

Sections of this Site may use cookies to keep track of your visit, or to deliver content specific to your interests. A “cookie” is a small amount of data transferred to your browser and read by the web server that placed it there. A cookie works as a sort of identification card, recording your preferences and previously entered information. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to accept or reject it.

6. Access and Correction of Your Information

You will have the opportunity to exercise your rights of access, correction, deletion and opposition of your personal data stored in Behomm data files by any appropriate means guaranteeing sending and reception. You have, as well, the right to be informed of any security incident that may affect your rights. For exercising your rights, you may contact Behomm at hola [ at ] behomm [ dot ] com. Additionally, you can also file a claim for the protection of your rights in front of the Spanish Data Protection Agency.

7. Unsubscribe

You, as a member, can easily manage your notifications through your account settings and in some cases directly through the electronic communication you receive from Behomm, having the right to opt out at all times. Account status, members messages and payment emails cannot be disabled for as long as you have a Behomm account.

8. Links

This Site may contain hyperlinks to websites that are not operated by us. These hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any endorsement of the activities of such third party websites or any association with their operators. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their personal data practices. We urge you to review any privacy policy posted on any site you visit before using the site or providing any personal data about yourself.

9. Security

Behomm works hard to control the security of our Community and has put a variety of security measures in place to protect our members as much as possible.

As a security measure, each invitation code is linked to the email it was sent to. Before becoming a member, we ask for the email address where you received your invitation code. This way Behomm verifies that each visitor really corresponds to the email owner who received that invitation code.

Also as a security measure, only names in coincidence with ID cards/passports are allowed when registering. Nicknames, strange characters or abbreviations are prohibited. Members cannot edit their name through their account. For a misspelling or any error or to report a perceived violation of this Policy, you should contact us at hola [ at ] behomm [ dot ] com.

Behomm has implemented technical measures in order to keep the files containing your personal data secure. In particular, Behomm will make its best effort to carefully protect your personal data from loss, unauthorized disclosure, mistreatment, alteration or unintentional destruction.

10. Miscellaneous

Your listing with your photos and all your information can only be viewed by members and visitors who must be invited by a Behomm member or by the Behomm founders. The general public cannot see any information about our members except when Behomm has been given advanced express permission by individual members for promotional activities.

When a message sent through Behomm’s internal system is opened by a member, the sender receives a time-stamped confirmation.

We may have to retain information in our files that you removed from our active databases in order to provide legal compliance, even after termination. Also, in case of a duly authorized legal request, Behomm may release the personal information of a member.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

Behomm may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time, and if we do we’ll post any changes on this Site with the date they were made. If you continue to use Behomm after those changes are in effect, you agree to the revised Policy. If the changes are significant, we may provide more prominent notice or obtain your consent as required by law.

Enjoy the Behomm Community.
