We will only disclose personal information to third party entities carrying out functions on behalf of BlueChip Communication and its related entities on a confidential basis. You should note that information we collect from you can also be disclosed to third parties if that disclosure is required, or to the extent permitted, by law.
We may disclose your personal information to external service providers as our business processes require it.
We take steps to ensure that our external service providers keep your personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which they are authorised.
BlueChip Communication regards the security of your personal information as a priority and takes all reasonable steps to protect your information from loss and unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure.
BlueChip Communication stores personal information in a combination of computer storage facilities, paper-based files and other records. These are held on our secure premises and systems as well as offsite using trusted third parties. We will take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, interference or misuse, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
As our website is linked to the internet, and the internet is inherently insecure, we cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of transmission of information you communicate to us online. We also cannot guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. Accordingly, any personal information or other information which you transmit to us online is transmitted at your own risk.
Our website may contain links to other websites operated by third parties. We make no representations or warranties in relation to the privacy practices of any third party website and we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of any third party website. Third party website providers are responsible for informing you about their own privacy practices.
Where personal information is no longer required to be retained, we will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to de-identify the information or put it beyond use.
BlueChip Communication cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from our products or services and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of information on our own system. From time to time the website contains links to other websites.
BlueChip Communication is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these websites.
A cookie is a small data file placed on your computer by BlueChip Communication’s server. A cookie contains information about your visit to the website. When you visit the website again, our server will look for the cookie and structure itself based on the information provided. A cookie identifies your computer to our web server when you visit the website.
BlueChip Communication uses browser cookies to improve the speed and reliability of our security system. It is recommended that you turn off any cookie warnings in your browser before using this website, otherwise you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
This information is never taken by us either through our website or otherwise. At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of Stripe or some other reputable payment service provider. That page may appear as it is a BlueChip Communication site but it is not controlled by us. Our staff and contractors never have access to it.
We may keep your financial information to provide you with a better ecommerce experience next time you visit us, to prevent fraud and to allow us to continue your access to our subscription services.
We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to verify our identity to your browser, and to encrypt any data you give us when you buy, including financial information such as credit or debit card numbers. Whenever we ask for financial information, you can check that SSL is being used by looking for a closed padlock symbol or other trust mark in your browser URL bar or toolbar.
Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It uses a 128bit encryption process to confidentially secure all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. You will notice that any personal/transactional information is captured within a secure page. This is identified by an “https” in the address bar and a lock image on the page.
To assist in combating fraud, we share information with credit reference agencies so far as it relates to clients who instruct their credit card issuer to cancel payment to us without having first provided an acceptable reason to us and given us the opportunity to refund their money.
You acknowledge and accept that your use of the website indicates your acceptance of the website’s terms and conditions of use and this Privacy Policy.
