Privacy Policy
The Blue Coon Company ("Blue Coon Company") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information you may provide to us when using any of our online services. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal information we receive.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, company name, email address, telephone number, postal or other physical address, birth date, gender, occupation, a credit card number (including expiration date) to process payment for products and/or services and such other information when needed to provide a service that you requested. Certain of our products and services also store connection or session information such as time/date and length of collection, IP address, chat logs and technician information.
When you purchase, download freeware, trial or evaluation versions, or register Blue Coon Company software, we may collect personal information including your name, address, email address, etc. for the purpose of recording the transaction when you engage in activities on our web sites or within the Blue Coon Company software. When we use payment processing merchants we expect that the same strict privacy criteria are in place. We do not knowingly collect personal information from persons under the age of eighteen. We may also give users the option of receiving useful product information (such as updates, alerts and associated product offerings), via opt-in permission based email. We will never sell, rent, lease or trade your personal information to any third party. Likewise, your information will not be shared with a third party in any other way unless Blue Coon Company is required to do so by law. Blue Coon Company may engage the services of a third party from time to time and may provide certain information that includes personal information in order for the third party to perform such services. Any third parties who provide services to Blue Coon Company are requested not to disclose your information or use it for any other purpose, and are required to implement or adopt a Privacy Policy that is no less stringent than Blue Coon Company's Privacy Policy. You may opt out of receiving emails from us at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email. By choosing to enter and submit the requested information when prompted, you are consenting to Blue Coon Company's collection, use, and disclosure of such information for the purposes as outlined herein.
Any information that you post to a chat room, public bulletin or forum is available to all users of that site. Blue Coon Company cannot control, nor is it responsible for the use, disclosure, or dissemination of such information by any third parties.
Web Site Usage
As you navigate through Blue Coon Company websites, certain anonymous information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). Your internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the web site you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using; the date and time you access the site and the pages that you access while at the site. While most of this information is, in fact, not being collected at the time of this writing, Blue Coon Company reserves the right to begin collecting and using said information without further announcement.
Blue Coon Company may automatically collect IP addresses and Web site usage information when you access our online services. This information helps us evaluate how our visitors navigate our sites on an aggregate basis, including but not limited to the number and frequency of visitors, length of visits, items viewed, items downloaded, etc.
How Information Is Used When Collected
We may use information collected in the following ways:
- To fulfill your requests for certain products and services;
- To contact you to reconfirm or verify accuracy of information provided;
- To register you as a customer;
- To open and maintain a support account for you;
- To send email notifications about the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers or other information we think you'd like to hear about either from us or from our business partners;
- To obtain your feedback to help enhance existing features or provide added products and services.
- To enable us to personalize content, advertising and promotions based on preferences, needs, suggestions, or recommendations.
- To provide advance notice of termination of a trial period or an opportunity to extend a trial period, or advance notice of expiration of your software license.
We may disclose and use personally identifiable information in special circumstances where it is necessary to enforce our service agreements or terms of use (for example protect our intellectual property rights), and your compliance with the applicable End User License Agreement(s) contained within the Blue Coon Company Software. We may also disclose or use your personal information when we, in good faith, believe that the applicable law may require us to do so.
Cookies
We define a cookie as any string of data and information that is automatically stored on your computer upon access to our services. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies save you time, for example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a Site, a cookie recalls your specific information on subsequent visits. Blue Coon Company employs cookies to assign temporary identification numbers to machines that access our services. This information enables us to deliver faster service capabilities to our customers or to our affiliates and/or other sales partners, prevent denial of service attacks on our systems, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, and assist with awarding proper sales credit to our partners. Blue Coon Company's website also uses cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. All Blue Coon Company cookies are of limited duration, less than 5KB in length, only visible to Blue Coon Company, and devoid of any personally identifiable information. Our Cookies are mainly maintained to track our affiliates and/or other sales partners to ensure proper payments for their sales and tracking activities relating to their affiliate relationship with us.
Links
We may offer links from our website to other third party websites which may be hosted by our co-branding partners or by unrelated companies which we think may be of interest to you. Such websites are not governed by this privacy policy and Blue Coon Company makes no representation as to their practices for dealing with your personal information. We recommend that you check the privacy policy of any website at the beginning of your visit.
Security
The personally identifiable information we collect about you is protected for your privacy and security and is therefore stored in limited access servers. We maintain such safeguards to protect security of servers and your personally identifiable information. We retain personally identifiable information only as long as necessary to complete a purchase, provide customer service, or maintain your account with us. Blue Coon Company safeguards the security and confidentiality of the data you send us with physical, technical, and managerial procedures. Please be aware that, despite out best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
Your Ability to Review and Delete Information
Blue Coon Company endeavors to not store personal information unneccesarily, and we therefore expunge and delete collected information regularly. Therefore, your information may not be stored with us any longer. However, you can always ask to review any personal information that we have collected from you, have us update, correct or delete this information and/or instruct us not to use this information in the future. If you wish to exercise this right, simply contact us. Please do not be surprised, though, if we no longer have your information stored even though you did provide it to us at one time.
Policy Modifications
We may change this Privacy Policy at any time without notice to you in order to reflect our practices and to provide continued protection of personal information. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted here promptly, so please check back periodically.
