To that end, Blue Edge gathers two types of
information about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on
our sites; and data Blue Edge gathers through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout
our sites. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Customers’ needs. Blue Edge will not
disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as
may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is
submitted.
Usage tracking
Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses
An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're
surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main
computers, known as "Web servers," that "serve up" Web pages.
Blue Edge and/or its affiliates collect IP
addresses for the purposes of system administration, and to audit the use of our
site. When Customers request pages from Blue Edge’s and/or its affiliates' sites, our servers log the Customers' IP
addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer’s
session will be logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify
a Customer when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site
terms of use or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or
others.
With whom does Blue Edge share my Information?
As a general rule, Blue Edge will not disclose any specific personal information that you submit
to us about you ("Personal Information") in a manner that connects you with the
Personal Information, except when we have your permission or under special
circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it
or under the circumstances described below. The following describes some of the ways that your Personal Information
may be disclosed.
Third Party & Aggregate Data: From time to time, you may be offered the opportunity to receive materials or
special offers from third parties. If you opt to receive information from these third parties, Blue Edge will (with
your permission) share your name and e-mail address with such third parties.
Under confidentiality agreements, Blue Edge may match Personal Information with
third party data. Also, Blue Edge may keep track of what portions of the Web site Customers are visiting and other
Customer statistics, and aggregate this information to help us create a better
experience for users of our Web site. This is all done without knowing your
name or other Personal Information in order to describe our viewers and
services to prospective partners, advertisers, and other third parties, and for
other lawful purposes.
Other: Blue Edge may also disclose account Information in special cases when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this Information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Blue Edge’s
terms of use or terms of service, or may be causing injury to or interference
(either intentionally or unintentionally) with any of Blue Edge’s rights or
property, other Blue Edge Customers, or anyone else. Blue Edge may disclose or
access account Information when we believe in good faith that the law requires
it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to
maintain, service, and improve our products and services.
How can you control the usage of Information?
In case you change your mind or some Personal Information changes (such as your zip code or e-mail
address), we will try to provide a way to correct, update or remove the
Personal Information that you give us. We also give you the opportunity to control the communications we direct
to you. We offer Customers the opportunity to "opt out" of having Personal
Information shared with parties outside of Blue Edge and/or its affiliated companies. If a Customer wishes to update
Personal Information or objects to any usage provided herein for any reason,
he/she may e-mail the requested change.
What happens when you link to a third party site?
You should be aware that when you are on Blue Edge’s and/or its affiliates’ sites you could
hyperlink or be directed to other sites that are beyond our control and/or
outside our service. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement or a
www.blueedge.com search result, the "click" may transfer you off the www.blueedge.com
site. These other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use Blue Edge’s
and/or its affiliates’ logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies
to Customers, collect data, or solicit Information.
Blue Edge and its affiliates do not control such sites, and, therefore, are not responsible for
their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such
sites. Blue Edge’s and/or its affiliates’ inclusion of hyperlinks to these
sites do not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites or any
association with their operators. Blue Edge’s policy does not extend to
anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond
Blue Edge’s and its affiliates' control.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards
or chat) that information can be collected and used by people you don't
know. While Blue Edge and its affiliates strive to protect their Customers’ information and privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you
disclose such information at your own risk.
Is my information secure from others using the www.blueedge.com site?
The security of all information associated with our Customers is an important concern to us. We exercise care in providing secure
transmission of your information from your computer to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, Blue Edge and
its affiliates can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you
transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your
own risk. Once we receive your transmission, Blue Edge uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the
confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket
Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.
YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By using this site, you signify your agreement to Blue Edge’s Privacy Policy. IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE. Your continued use of Blue Edge’s and/or its
affiliates’ sites following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
