Purpose of Data Use

Bc8 uses collected data only for specified purposes. No data is used unnecessarily, and your information is never used for marketing without your consent.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

Bc8 never sells your personal information or shares it with third parties for advertising purposes. However, limited data sharing may occur in certain specific circumstances.
