Bluebell Data (all websites)

Last Updated: 21 April, 2018

This page contains lots of information about our privacy policy but we want to also make it clearer so you can understand it quickly.

Quick Privacy Policy

Bluebell Data strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.

We use cookies on almost all our websites. They are mainly used to increase a users experience and to give us data through Google Analytics's and other 3rd party software to show us what is popular and what is not on the website.
Our cookies DO Not keep in them personal data (Like your email address) unless you specifically agree for it to be used as saved information (very rare).

Membership. We only ask for a Name, email address (and we automatically store your I.P. address for security) for our membership sites.
Where possible these are encrypted and hosted on an SSL covered website.
We generally never use this information to contact you because we prefer to use a 3rd party provider like Getresponse.com or Aweber.com to help send emails out to our customers.
We would prefer not to store any of your info but people often lose their login details or purchase information and so we need a way to retrieve it for them.

Purchases.We only use 3rd party companies to securely take payments on our behalf.
https://www.securehosting.com/ (Monek) are our main company. We may also offer Paypal Both of these companies operate under their own T & C's and Privacy Policies
Both of these companies often ask for more information from you to verify payments but we only use the name and email address our end, unless you have purchased a product that we have to mail to you.

Email.We generally use two companies for email Getresponse.com or Aweber.com (although we could also use others). these companies operate under their own T & C's and Privacy Policies but we have picked them because they are well established highly respected companies that are committed to looking after peoples personal data.
We use these companies to send out nearly all our emails including "Daily Email", "Update emails", "Product information emails" etc (except the tips ones which we are reviewing at the moment).
We do not in any case rent or share your information with any other company. Note though we may send emails to you on behalf of a 3rd party if we feel it is relevant to the reason you joined one of our lists in the first place.
Every email we send includes a "Remove me link" (you can also reply to any email and ask to be removed) and we have now adopted a new policy of reviewing our list in (accordance with the GDPR rules) to make sure the information is still relevant to you.

We use email technology to help track readers behaviour to improve our understanding and increase the relevancy of the information we send which could include...An email has been opened, A link has been clicked, a page has been landed on as well as other actions associated with reading an email. These actions could cause further emails to be sent to you if we feel they are relevant to your actions. An example could be that you click a link in one of our emails to find out more about one of our products on doing so we also send out a further email to make sure all your questions were answered about the product.

Social media.We like most companies adopt social media like Facebook, Youtube and others. All these companies operate under their own T & C's and Privacy Policies.
We generally use these sites to keep our customers (and potential customers) informed and entertained. We also promote our products through these sites using posts and videos and may take advantage of advertising with them from time to time. Apart from that we have no control or affiliation over how these companies operate or their T & C's or Privacy Policies.
If you have an issue with your account with these companies then please contact them direct.

More complex Privacy Policy

Bluebell Data strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.

How we gather information from users

How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most Web sites, Bluebell Data also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.

For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners.

We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary.
