This privacy policy may not apply to web sites that are accessible through the BAHCS.COM. BAHCS.COM may
contain links to other sites operated by third parties including, but not
limited to, third-party sites that display BAHCS trademarks. We encourage you
to read the privacy policies of those other sites to learn how they collect,

To assist you with reading through our privacy policy, we have provided questions and answers below that
you may find helpful in understanding our privacy practices:
WHAT INFORMATION DO BAHCS
COLLECT FROM ME?
We may collect personal information such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address,
credit card number and other billing information.
WHEN DOES BAHCS COLLECT
INFORMATION FROM ME?
While taking advantage of products or services available from BAHCS, you may be asked to provide
personal information. For example, you may be asked to provide personal
information when you schedule an appointment for services at your home or
office, bring in your product for service, purchase products, contact BAHCS
call centers with a question or concern, initiate a chat session, participate
in a sweepstakes, promotion or survey, and/or participate in other activities

customer services; administer sweepstakes, promotions or surveys; offer new
products or services; improve the effectiveness of BAHCS.COM, marketing
endeavors and offers; conduct research and analysis; send marketing
communications; or perform other business activities.
DOES BAHCS SHARE MY PERSONAL
INFORMATION WITH OTHERS?
BAHCS does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. BAHCS may need to share your
personal information with certain third parties such as our service providers
and other representatives for limited purposes. For example, BAHCS may share
personal information with third parties to perform services such as sending
BAHCS marketing communications, servicing products, conducting research,
analysis or administering surveys, sending regular mail and email on behalf of
BAHCS, processing credit card payments, administering sweepstakes, providing
call center services, data storage and hosting services.
The third parties with whom BAHCS conducts business are only authorized to use your information to
perform the service for which they were hired. As part of the agreement with
them, they are required to follow the privacy guidelines provided to them and
to take reasonable measures to ensure your personal information is secure.
BAHCS may also share your personal information with companies who have referred you to BAHCS for goods
and services, or have provided space in their store locations for BAHCS to
offer its goods and services, or have allowed BAHCS to have a presence on their
web sites.
From time to time, BAHCS may be required to share personal information in response to a valid court
order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law.
BAHCS also reserves the right to report to law enforcement agencies any
activities that BAHCS, in good faith, believes to be unlawful. BAHCS may share
certain personal information when BAHCS believes that such release is
reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property and safety of others and
ourselves. BAHCS may also transfer personal information in the event of a
corporate sale, merger, acquisition, dissolution or similar event.
DO I HAVE CHOICES
REGARDING THE USE OF MY INFORMATION FOR MARKETING PURPOSES?
BAHCS is an opt-out organization. Once BAHCS receives your information, BAHCS may send you marketing
communications that contain valuable offers, promotions and other content. You
always have the ability to opt-out of receiving future marketing communications
from BAHCS.
To change your status with respect to receiving marketing communications from BAHCS, you may
1) Follow the directions on a marketing e-mail or direct mail marketing
communication from us. Marketing communications from BAHCS will tell you how to
stop receiving them.
2) Call 1 877 299 1606 request to opt-out of marketing communications and
provide your current contact information.
3) Send an email with your current contact information to
info@BAHCS.COM. Or
4) Send a request with your current
contact information to BAHCS, P.O. Box 5251,
Redwood City
, CA 94061.
If you send an email or letter request, please include your full name, address, phone number and email
address and indicate specifically what type of marketing communication(s) (for
example, email, direct mail and / or phone) you wish to stop receiving. This
helps identify you correctly in BAHCS systems so we can accurately process your
request.
BAHCS will take the appropriate steps to implement your request to opt-out of receiving marketing
communications. Please note that due to production, mailing and system
timelines, in order to remove you from BAHCS marketing lists, it may take up to
ten business days for emails, 30 calendar days for phone calls and six weeks
for direct mail.
Until the change takes effect, you may still receive marketing communications from us.
Also, please note that even though you may have requested not to receive future marketing
communications, you may still receive business-related communications such as
appointment confirmation calls, billing information or other
organization-related communications.
If you have never provided your personal information and would like to be added to our marketing list,
please use the contact information above.
