Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to www.gobuckup.com operated by BuckUp of 5810 Kingstowne Ctr, Ste 120-178, Alexandria, VA 22315, USA (“we”, “us”, “our”).
This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information that we collect from our clients and from our website and other online users (hereinafter “you”), as well as information that we collect automatically during your visits of our website (e.g., information collected via cookies).
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “business partners” means any subcontractors, contractors or other legal entities with whom we have an ongoing business relationship to provide services or information.
“Personal Information” means any data, such as your name, telephone number, email address, IP (“Internet Protocol”) address or location data.
We recognize the current lack of consistent and comprehensive Federal and State Privacy legislation and have as such voluntarily adopted the current gold standard deriving from the EU`s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). Thus, we act as the data controller in accordance with the GDPR. Whilst it is expected that current legislative uncertainty is to be resolved in due course, we would like to ask you to regularly check this policy for any changes.

For more information about “Do-not-track,” please visit www.allaboutdnt.org
