3. Social Blue 3.1. What kind of Personal Information do we collect and for what purposes? We process the following information as Data Controller in our own interest:

Request for information or advice
When you wish to receive information from us, you can send us an email with your request. In this case we process the information that is provided by you, like name, email address and the subjects and content of any messages you sent.

Newsletter Registration
Website users that register for a newsletter with their email address are regularly informed about updates and interesting information on the Website. You can opt out of this newsletter at any time by activating the link at the end of every newsletter email or contact us.

Device Information
This website collects a series of general information with each visit which is stored in so called logfiles of the server and can include, for e.g., the time and date when the Website was accessed, the type of browser you are using, the domain name or your computer’s IP address. The purpose is to make the Website accessible from your device and to enable the Website to be displayed correctly on your device or in your browser. The data is also used to optimize the Website and to ensure the security of our systems, for e.g., to make sure that multiple offers are not requested by the same persons.

Social Media Plug-ins (Share/Like-Buttons)
Our thank-you pages that you will see after filling in the forms also include buttons for social media networks that you can use to share. In order to increase the protection of your data and ensure that you retain full control, the used button provides direct contact between the respective social network and our website visitors only once you actively click on it. When you activate the button by giving consent, data – for e.g. the IP address, browser information, URL of the current website – can be forwarded to the social media network.

Cookies, Pixels and Other Technologies
We also make use of cookies i) to analyse behaviour on the Website (for e.g. the number of visitors, the most visited pages) through third-party online analytics tools; ii) to measure conversions from Social Media Platforms and thereby analyse the performance of our campaigns and iii) to (ret)target individuals. A cookie is information stored on your device (for e.g. computer, mobile phone) by a website you visit. It can contain personally identifiable information: for e.g. the name of the server that placed it there, an online identifier like the IP address or cookie identifier in the form of a unique number. A server can access the cookie to read and record the information. In most cases, the data of your surfing behaviour is processed anonymously. We can therefore not identify you in the real world.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically, but you can deactivate this function. Refer to the information provided by your browser supplier to find out. There are also other possibilities to opt-out from specific cookies and websites which can help you to understand and control the use of cookies like www.youronlinechoices.com (Europe), https://youradchoices.ca/ (Canada) or http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN (USA.)

Specific and/or sensitive Personal Information
Our Website is not targeted at minors and does not intend to collect information about website visitors younger than 16 years. We encourage parents to be involved in the online activities of their children, in order to prevent Personal Information about children being collected without parental consent. If you believe that we have collected data about a minor without a permission, please contact privacy@socialblue.com and we will delete this information.

3.2. When do we disclose your Personal Information?
We may disclose your information under the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We may disclose your information to service providers who perform services on our behalf (see “Data Processors”,) for e.g. to host and analyze the Website, to send out our newsletter or store our data. Such service providers are only entitled to process the data needed to perform their services and guarantee that they have implemented appropriate security measures in such a manner that their processing meets data protection requirements.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if we are required to do so by law.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge, or partner with other companies. In such transactions, (including in contemplation of such transactions, for e.g., due diligence) your information may be disclosed. If any of Social Blue’s assets are sold or transferred to a third party, customer information would likely be one of the transferred business assets.

3.3. Where is my Personal Information processed? Our computer systems are based in the Netherlands (Social Blue HQ) and your Personal Information will also be stored in the Netherlands (EU.)

Some of our service providers (“Data Processors”) also process Personal Information in other countries, for example in the USA. In this case we make sure that they provide sufficient guarantees (for e.g. Privacy Shield certification) and safeguards to adequately protect your data.

3.4. How do we secure your Personal Information? We make every reasonable effort to prevent any loss, misuse, disclosure or modification of Personal Information as well as any unauthorized access to it. We use practices such as computer passwords, firewalls, encryption, and internal organizational tools such as restricted access and permanent deletion of electronic records. If you feel that your Personal Information is not secured properly or there are indications of abuse, please contact us at socialblue@privacy.com.

3.5. Your Choices and Rights Social Blue offers the same privacy rights to all website users:
