2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you fill out our contact form, request a consultation, send us an email, or engage our services, we may collect the following categories of personal information:
- Identity & Contact Data — your full name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, and postal address.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools automatically record certain technical data points:
- Log Data — your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, timestamps, and HTTP status codes. This data is stored in standard server access logs and retained for diagnostic and security purposes.
- Device & Session Data — screen resolution, time zone setting, language preference, and approximate geographic region derived from your IP address.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses a minimal set of first-party cookies strictly for operational purposes. We do not deploy advertising cookies, social media trackers, or third-party analytics cookies. The cookies we may set include:
- Session Cookie — a transient identifier that maintains your form input state during a single browsing session. This cookie expires when you close your browser and does not persist to disk.
- Preference Cookie — stores your acknowledgment of this privacy notice so we do not display the banner repeatedly. This cookie has a duration of 365 days.
You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or alert you when one is being set. Disabling cookies will not degrade the core functionality of our website; the contact form, navigation, and all informational pages remain fully operational.
3. How We Use Your Information
BF VENDING LLC processes personal data on the following lawful bases and for the following specific purposes:
- Service Delivery — to respond to your inquiries, prepare consultation proposals, deliver contracted systems design and integration services, provide technical support, and manage ongoing client relationships.
- Business Operations — to invoice for services rendered, process payments, maintain financial records required by applicable law, and manage vendor and subcontractor relationships.
- Communication — to send service-related updates, project status reports, security advisories, and administrative notices. We do not send marketing newsletters or promotional emails. Any operational communication you receive is directly related to an active engagement or an inquiry you initiated.
- Security & Compliance — to monitor for and defend against unauthorized access, malware, denial-of-service attacks, and other threats to our infrastructure; to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or regulatory requirements; and to enforce our Terms of Service.
- Website Improvement — to analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns that inform performance optimizations, content improvements, and user experience refinements.
We never sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any third party. We do not use your data for automated decision-making, profiling, or any purpose that produces legal effects concerning you.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We share personal data only under the narrow circumstances described below and always subject to contractual confidentiality obligations:
- Service Providers — we engage trusted third-party vendors for infrastructure hosting, email delivery, payment processing, and cloud-based productivity tools. These providers process data solely on our documented instructions and are bound by data processing agreements that prohibit independent use of your information.
- Professional Advisors — we may share information with our legal counsel, auditors, and insurance providers where necessary to obtain professional advice, defend against claims, or maintain coverage.
- Legal Obligations — we may disclose information if required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, regulatory agency, or law enforcement authority with valid legal process. We will notify you of such disclosure unless prohibited by law.
- Business Transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of BF VENDING LLC assets, client data may be among the transferred assets. You will be notified via email and a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or data controller status.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our retention schedule is as follows:
- Inquiry & Contact Data — retained for 24 months from your last interaction, after which it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymized. This allows us to reference prior conversations if you return for additional services.
- Client Engagement Records — retained for 7 years following project completion to comply with tax, accounting, and professional liability obligations under Florida and United States federal law.
- Server Logs — retained for 90 days in active storage and then automatically purged. Aggregated, non-personal statistics derived from logs may be retained indefinitely.
- Payment Records — retained for 7 years per IRS requirements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Upon expiration of the applicable retention period, we delete or anonymize data using industry-standard secure deletion protocols. Paper records, if any, are shredded by a certified document destruction service.
6. Data Security
BF VENDING LLC implements and maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures include:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3) encryption for all data in transit between your browser and our servers, enforced via HSTS preloading.
- AES-256 encryption for data at rest on all production storage volumes.
- Multi-factor authentication required for all administrative access to infrastructure and data stores.
- Quarterly vulnerability assessments and annual third-party penetration testing of our public-facing systems.
- Role-based access controls limiting data access to personnel with a legitimate business need.
- Security awareness training for all staff and contractors handling client data.
While we implement robust security controls, no method of electronic storage or transmission is absolutely secure. We cannot and do not guarantee that your data will be immune from all unauthorized access. In the event of a data breach involving your personal information, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by applicable law within the statutory notification window.
