bluBay will not share, sell or rent this information to others in any way other than as disclosed in this
policy or stated at the point where the information is collected. bluBay collects information from our
users in several areas of our Web site as described in this privacy policy.
Security
We want to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information on our Web site, we take
commercially reasonable steps to protect your information online and off-line.
When you provide sensitive information on our site (such as credit card number), that information is
encrypted and protected with encryption software while in transit. While you are on a secure page,
such as our order form page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked.
While we use encryption software to protect sensitive information online, we also use our best efforts
to protect your information off-line. Access to all of our users' information is restricted in our offices.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that only employees who need the information to perform a
specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. The servers on which we store
personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment behind a locked cage.
We utilize industry standard SSL encryption when accepting your credit card information during our
online checkout process. In addition, we utilize the same encryption standard when transferring your
credit card data to our internal fulfillment system. To further enhance our security measures, our
fulfillment system is protected from access via the Internet and we we never store your actual credit
card information.
Order Forms
We request information from you on our order form, including your contact information (such as name
and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number and expiration date).
This information is used to fill your orders and for billing and shipping purposes. If we have trouble
processing your order, we may use this contact information to get in touch with you. We share this
information, and only that information that we believe is necessary, with those third parties that are
involved in the processing of your order. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit
card, and the shipping carrier that delivers your order. However, we never actually store your credit
card in our database. It is discarded the moment your card is authorized. If you supply us with your
postal address in this manner, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new
products and services or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please follow
our opt-out instructions.
Surveys & Contests
If you choose to participate in submitting product reviews on our website, we may ask you for
information, including your email address, age, sex and online name. Generally, we use this
information to monitor or improve our site and product selection.
Polls
Our optional online surveys may ask visitors for demographic information (such as relationship
status) to help us better understand our customers in aggregate. This information is not linked to any
other personal or identifying information
Special Offers
When you check the "opt-in" box on the order page, you may occasionally receive information on
products, services and special deals. We offer you the option to discontinue receiving these
communications by "opting out" of receiving promotional offers and material.
Cookies
A cookie is a message that the server for our Web site gives to your Web browser. Your browser
stores the message in a file called cookie.txt. Each time the browser requests a page from the server,
a message is sent back to the server. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our site. The next time you visit our site, your browser will send the
cookie to the server, which can use the information to present you with a more personalized
experience (such as retaining the contents of your shopping basket). bluBay uses cookies for only two
purposes: to maintain your shopping basket and to track which ad you clicked to get to our site. We do
not use cookies to store passwords or any personal information about you.
If you reject the cookie, you may still use our site; however, the contents of your shopping basket will
not be retained between visits.
