We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy
(“Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide
(“Personal Information”) on the
theblueion.com website
(“Website”), “Bluezone” mobile application (“Mobile
Application”), and any of their related products and services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for
collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal Information. It also describes the
choices available to you regarding our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update it.
This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and this Website operator and
Mobile Application developer (“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you are entering into this agreement on
behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to
this agreement, in which case the terms “User”, “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity. If you do not have
such authority, or if you do not agree with the terms of this agreement, you must not accept this agreement and
may not access and use the Services. By accessing and using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read,
understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy. This Policy does not apply to the practices of
companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.
Collection of personal information
You can access and use the Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone
could identify you as a specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of the features
offered on the Services, you may be asked to provide certain Personal Information (for example, your name and
e-mail address).
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us when you create an account, grant access
permission, or fill any forms
on the Services. When required, this information may include the following:
- Account details (such as user name, unique user ID, password, etc)
- Contact information (such as email address, phone number, etc)
- Geolocation data of your device (such as latitude and longitude)
- Certain features on the mobile device (such as contacts, calendar, gallery, etc)
- Any other materials you willingly submit to us (such as articles, images, feedback, etc)
You can choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, but then you may not be able to take advantage
of some of the features on the Services. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are welcome
to contact us.
Privacy of children
We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 18. If you are under the age
of 18, please do not submit any Personal Information through the Services. If you have reason to believe that a
child under the age of 18 has provided Personal Information to us through the Services, please contact us to
request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this
Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the Services without their
permission. We also ask that all parents and legal guardians overseeing the care of children take the necessary
precautions to ensure that their children are instructed to never give out Personal Information when online
without their permission.
Use and processing of collected information
We act as a data controller and a data processor when handling Personal Information, unless we have entered into
a data processing agreement with you in which case you would be the data controller and we would be the data
processor.
Our role may also differ depending on the specific situation involving Personal Information. We act in the
capacity of a data controller when we ask you to submit your Personal Information that is necessary to ensure
your access and use of the Services. In such instances, we are a data controller because we determine the
purposes and means of the processing of Personal Information.
We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit Personal Information through the
Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the submitted Personal Information, and such Personal
Information is processed only in accordance with your instructions. In such instances, the User providing
Personal Information acts as a data controller.
In order to make the Services available to you, or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to collect and use
certain Personal Information. If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not be able to
provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may be used for
the following purposes:
- Create and manage user accounts
- Run and operate the Services
Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Services, where you are located in the
world and if one of the following applies: (i) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes;
(ii) provision of information is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you and/or for any
pre-contractual obligations thereof; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to
which you are subject; (iv) processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the
exercise of official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate
interests pursued by us or by a third party.
Note that under some legislations we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing
by opting out, without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases. In any case, we will be happy
to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of
Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a
contract.
Disclosure of information
To maintain the highest level of privacy and to protect your Personal Information to the full extent, we do not
share your Personal Information with any third parties.
However, we may also disclose any Personal Information we collect, use or receive if required or permitted by
law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we believe in good faith that
disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud,
or respond to a government request.
Retention of information
We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations,
as long as your user account remains active, to enforce our agreements, resolve disputes, and unless a longer
retention period is required or permitted by law.
We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or
delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, Personal
Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification,
and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have
your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a
website. For these purposes, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from consumers
who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time. How browsers
communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. As a result, the Services are not yet set up to
interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals communicated by your browser. Even so, as described in more detail
throughout this Policy, we limit our use and collection of your Personal Information. For a description of Do
Not Track protocols for browsers and mobile devices or to learn more about the choices available to you, visit
internetcookies.com
Push notifications
We offer push notifications to which you may voluntarily subscribe at any time. To make sure push notifications
reach the correct devices, we rely on a device token unique to your device which is issued by the operating
system of your device. While it is possible to access a list of device tokens, they will not reveal your
identity, your unique device ID, or your contact information to us. We will maintain the information sent via
e-mail in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If, at any time, you wish to stop receiving push
notifications, simply adjust your device settings accordingly.
Links to other resources
The Services contain links to other resources that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other resources or third parties. We encourage you to be
aware when you leave the Services and to read the privacy statements of each and every resource that may collect
Personal Information.
Information security
We secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from
unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical
safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of Personal
Information in our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network can
be guaranteed.
Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that (i) there are security and
privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (ii) the security, integrity, and privacy of
any and all information and data exchanged between you and the Services cannot be guaranteed; and (iii) any such
information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite best efforts.
As the security of Personal Information depends in part on the security of the device you use to communicate
with us and the security you use to protect your credentials, please take appropriate measures to protect this
information.
Data breach
In the event we become aware that the security of the Services has been compromised or Users’ Personal
Information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including, but not
limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including,
but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement
authorities. In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we
believe that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise
required by law. When we do, we will post a notice on the Services.
Changes and amendments
We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms related to the Services at any time at our discretion.
When we do, we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We may also provide notice to you in
other ways at our discretion, such as through the contact information you have provided.
An updated version of this Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless
otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the revised Policy (or such
other act specified at that time) will constitute your consent to those changes. However, we will not, without
your consent, use your Personal Information in a manner materially different than what was stated at the time
your Personal Information was collected.
Acceptance of this policy
You acknowledge that you have read this Policy and agree to all its terms and conditions. By accessing and using
the Services and submitting your information you agree to be bound by this Policy. If you do not agree to abide
by the terms of this Policy, you are not authorized to access or use the Services. This privacy policy was
created with the help of
