Any

controlled primarily by ES-KO International Inc.
What
Personal Information About Customers Does TheBlue-Online.com Gather?
The
information we learn from customers helps us personalise and
continually
improve your shopping experience at TheBlue-Online.com. We use the
information
to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments,
communicate
with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers,
update our
records and generally maintain your accounts with us, display content
such as
wish lists and customer reviews and recommend merchandise and services
that
might be of interest to you. We also use this information to improve
our store
and platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and
enable third
parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our
behalf.
Here are
the types of information we gather.
- Information
You Give Us: we receive and store
any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way.
We use
the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to
your
requests, customising future shopping for you, improving our stores,
and
communicating with you.
- Automatic
Information: we receive and store
certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For
example, like
many websites, we use "cookies" and we obtain
certain types of
information when your Web browser accesses TheBlue-Online.com. A number
of
companies offer utilities designed to help you visit websites
anonymously.
Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalised
experience at
TheBlue-Online.com if we cannot recognise you, we want you to be aware
that
these tools exist.
- Information
from Other Sources: we might receive
information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information.
What
About Cookies?
- Cookies
are alphanumeric identifiers that we
transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to
enable our
systems to recognise your browser and to provide features such as
personalised
greetings and storage of items in your Shopping Basket between visits.
- The
Help menu on the menu bar of most browsers
will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies,
how to
have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to
disable
cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar
data used
by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's
settings or
visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, because cookies
allow you to
take advantage of some of TheBlue-Online.com's essential features, we
recommend
that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise
reject
our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart,
proceed
to Checkout, or use any TheBlue-Online.com products and services that
require
you to Sign in.
- If you
do leave cookies turned on, be sure to
sign off when you finish using a shared computer.
Does
TheBlue-Online.com share the Information it receives?
Information
about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not
in the
business of selling it to others. TheBlue-Online.com shares customer
information only as described below.
Personal
information will be processed by HSBC Ltd., Movcon and the UN Security
Office.
- Third
Party Service Providers: We employ other
companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples
include
fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail,
removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data,
providing
marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including
paid
listings and links), processing credit card payments and providing
customer
service. They have access to personal information needed to perform
their
functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must
process
the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as
permitted by the applicable privacy laws.
- Protection
of TheBlue-Online.com and Others: We
release account and other personal information when we believe release
is
appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of
Use and
other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of
TheBlue-Online.com, our users or others. This includes exchanging
information
with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit
risk
reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting,
sharing
or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from
customers for
commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made
in this
Privacy Notice.
- With
your consent: other than as set out above,
you will receive notice when information about you might go to third
parties
and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the
information.
How
Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work
to protect the security of your
information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
software,
which encrypts information you input.
-
We
reveal only the last five digits of your
credit card numbers when
confirming an order. Of
course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate
credit
card company during order processing.
- We
maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of
personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures
mean that
we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose
personal
information to you.
It is
important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your
password and
to your computer.
Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared
computer.

updating that information.
