Our Privacy
Policy
Blue Ocean Lanzarote is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy
statement explains data collection and use practices of the Blue Ocean
Lanzarote Web Site (the “Site”); it does not apply to other online or offline
sites controlled by us. By accessing the Site, you
are consenting to the information collection and use practices described in
this privacy statement.
Other sites and services with links from this Web
site may have their own privacy statements which can be viewed by clicking on their
links.
On This Page
We will ask you when we need information that personally
identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you to provide a
service or carry out a transaction that you have requested such as receiving
information about our products and services. The personal information we collect may include your name,
title, company or organization name, work e-mail, work phone, work or home
address, information about your job function, information about your company,
and credit card information.
The Site may collect certain information about your visit,
such as the name of the Internet service provider and the Internet Protocol (IP)
address through which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the
Site; the pages that you access while at the Site and the Internet address of
the Web site from which you linked directly to our site. This information is
used to help improve the site, analyze trends and administer the site.
The personal information collected on this Site will be used
to operate the Site and to provide the service(s) or carry out the
transaction(s) you have requested or authorized.
In support of these uses, we may use personal information
to provide you with more effective customer service, to improve the Site and any
related products or services, and to make the Site easier to use by
eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by
customizing the Site to your particular preference or interests. In order to
offer you a more consistent experience in your interactions with us,
information collected by this web site may be combined with information
collected by other Blue Ocean Lanzarote web sites and services.
We may use your personal information to provide you with
important information about the product or service that you are using.
Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information about other
Blue Ocean products and services, and/or share information with Blue Ocean partners so
that they may send you information about their products and services.
We merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic
information for research purposes, and we may use this information in aggregate
to provide more relevant content.
When you sign up for a newsletter or agree to receive
promotional e-mail, we may use customized links or similar technologies to
track e-mail links that you click. We may associate that information with your
personal information in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications
or purchase information. Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe
link allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication.
Some services on our network offer individuals the ability to
publicly display certain personal information, such as for a Blue Ocean partner who
wishes to publish contact information as part of offering a business service.
Participation in such services is always optional.
Blue Ocean occasionally hires other companies to provide limited
services on our behalf, such as domain name registrations and DNS Management,
packaging, mailing and delivering prizes, answering customer questions about
products and services, and sending information about our products, special
offers, and other services. We will only provide those companies the personal
information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the
confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using that
information for any other purpose.
We may disclose personal information if required to do so
by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform
to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on us or the
Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Blue Ocean; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of
our employees or agents, users of our products or services, or members of
the public.
Personal information collected on the Site may be stored and
processed in the United Kingdom, Lanzarote, Spain, or any other country or
region in which Blue Ocean or its suppliers, affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain
facilities, and by using the Site, you consent to any such transfer of
information outside of your country.
Except as otherwise described in this statement, personal
information you provide on the Site will not be shared outside of Blue Ocean and its
controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your permission.
Please be aware that this privacy statement and any choices
you make on the Site will not necessarily apply to personal information you may
have provided to us in the context of other, separately operated, Blue Ocean
products or services.
We may send out periodic e-mails informing you of
issues related to a service you
requested, or confirming you requested a service. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are
considered an essential part of the service(s) you have chosen.
You can access your personal information by contacting us as
described at the bottom of this statement.
We are committed to protecting the security of your
personal information. Our web hosts use a variety of security technologies and procedures
to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on
computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities.
Additionally, when we transmit sensitive personal information (such as a credit
card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
This is a general audience site and does not knowingly
collect any personal information from children.
We may use cookies on this Site to personalize the Site. A
cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by our Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web
page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering
relevant content, eases site navigation, and so on. When you return to the Web
site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can
easily use the site's features that you customized. We may, for example,
use a cookie to tell our web server that you have already seen an advertisement
which will prevent the server from delivering it again.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action
tags, may be used to assist in delivering the cookie on our site. This
technology is a tool we use to compile aggregated statistics about Web site
usage, such as how many visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or
graphics) on a Web page. We may share aggregated site statistics with partner
companies.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web
browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you
may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other
Web sites you visit.
Our Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web
beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow us to count users
who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. We may include
Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine
whether messages have been opened and acted upon. We do not use Web
beacons to collect or access your personal information.
If you have questions regarding this statement, you should
contact us.
We may occasionally update this privacy statement. When we
do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the bottom of the privacy
statement. For material changes to this privacy statement, we will notify you
either by placing a prominent notice on the home page of our Web site or by
directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review
this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the
personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes
your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
We welcome your comments regarding this
privacy statement. If you believe that we have not adhered to this privacy
statement, please contact us
electronically or via postal mail at the address provided on our
contact page, and we will
use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the
problem.
