Can you Opt Out? 

New technologies create new policy questions about privacy, causing various state lawmakers to continually address the privacy issues arising from digital and online activities. Certain state laws broadly define the terms “sell” and “sale” to mean the use of certain Cookies or apps as “selling” information. Although TBBC does not sell or rent information, we may not be exempt under the various threshold requirements of these laws. Because the control over your private data is important, if you choose to Opt Out (delete) personal information collected, TBBC may be required to process your order by means other than electronic. If you Opt Out and later visit TBBC website from a different device, browser, or app, you will need to Opt Out again. To Opt Out, please email thebusterbat@gmail.com and in the subject line indicate Opt Out. You may also mail your request to TBBC Operations, 2825 Oak Lawn Avenue, #190305, Dallas, Texas 75219. We may request additional information to identify you in order to process your request. TBBC reserves the right to deny opt-out request, if it is absolutely necessary to retain certain information, including, but not limited to,

·    if a sale is necessary for the business to comply with legal obligations, exercise legal claims or rights, or defend legal claims

·   if the personal information is consumer credit reporting information or other types of information exempt from the state laws

·    for accounting purposes
