In connection with the Services, we may collect the following types of information from
you:
Personally Identifiable Information (user-provided information)
Personally identifiable information (“personal information”) is any information that may
be used to identify or contact you personally, such as your name, email address,
gender, phone number, postal or other physical address. We collect any information you
provide when you use the Services. For example, when you order Services, we may
collect basic information about you such as your name, username, password, email
address, physical address, phone number, date of birth, and other personal and
business demographic, billing or contact information. You may also provide us with
certain employment information in connection with an application for employment with
BlueFiber. In some cases, you may have previously provided your information to
BlueFiber (if, for example, you are a former employee).
We use the information you provide to provide you with the Services; to communicate
with you; to operate, maintain, and enhance the Services; and to fulfill your specific
requests. For example, if you send us an email message requesting information about
BlueFiber, we will use your email address and other information you supply to respond
to your request. If you send us a resume or curriculum vitae (CV) to apply online for a
position with BlueFiber, we will use the information that you provide to identify potential
job opportunities. Your personal information is not used for other purposes, unless we
obtain your permission, or unless otherwise required or permitted by law or professional
standards.
BlueFiber only collects “sensitive” personal information when the relevant individuals
voluntarily provide us with this information. Sensitive information includes personal
information regarding a person’s race, ethnicity, political beliefs, trade union
membership, religious or similar beliefs, physical or mental health, sexual life or criminal
record. Please use your discretion when providing sensitive information to BlueFiber,
and do not provide sensitive information to BlueFiber, unless you thereby consent to
BlueFiber’s use of that information for its legitimate business purposes and consent to
the transfer and storage of such information to and in BlueFiber databases. If you have
any questions about whether the provision of sensitive information to BlueFiber is, or
may be, necessary or appropriate for particular purposes, please contact
[email protected].
Non-Personal Information (automatically collected information which doesn’t identify the
user).
Non-personally identifiable information, such as IP address, unique identifier number,
operating system, browser, search queries, and browsing history, is collected during
normal use of the Services. We use browser cookies, storage data, JavaScript, web
beacons, pixels, flash cookies, and other tracking technologies to collect non-personally
identifiable information from users of the Services. The tracking technologies collect and
pass the collected information with an anonymous unique identifier. Below is a more
detailed discussion on some of the technologies used to collect non-personally
identifiable information.
Cookies: When you use our website, we may send one or more “cookies” (small data
files) to your computer to uniquely identify your browser and enable us to help you log in
faster and generally enhance your navigation through the website. Cookies save you
time, for example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within the website, a
cookie recalls your specific information on subsequent visits. A cookie file can contain
information such as a user ID that the website uses to track the pages you’ve visited,
but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply
yourself. A persistent cookie remains on your computer after you close your browser so
that it can be used by your browser on subsequent visits to use the website. Persistent
cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions. A session cookie is
temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web
browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. In addition to
enhancing the user experience, we may use cookies to track traffic user traffic patterns.
We do this to determine the usefulness and efficiency of our Services and its various
pages, and to analyze traffic patterns, in order to constantly improve the Services and
better serve our customers.
Web Beacons: When you use our website, we may employ web beacons (small pieces
of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites) which are used to track
the online usage patterns of our users anonymously. No personally identifiable
information from your account is collected using these web beacons. In addition, we
may also use web beacons in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which
emails are opened by recipients. The information is used to analyze the traffic patterns
on the website, such as the frequency with which our user visits various pages of our
website, which ultimately leads to improvements and better content in connection with
the Services.

logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address,
browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing
pages, pages viewed, and other such information.
