BlueBishop.com does not collect information from our users on our
Web site.
Information Use
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied
to information about
the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked
to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. We
use session ID cookies persistent cookies. For
the session ID cookie,
once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent
cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive
for an extended
period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed
by following Internet
browser help file directions.
By setting a cookie on our site, users would
not have to log in a password more than
once, thereby saving time
while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may
still use
our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited
in
some areas of our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on
our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access
to or control over these cookies, once we have
given permission
for them to set cookies for advertising.
Third Party Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by various
advertising
partners. Information about users’ visit to this
site, such as number of times they
have viewed an ad (but not user
name, address, or other personal information),
is used to serve
ads to users on this site.
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies
by BlueBishop.com only and
does not cover the use of cookies by
any advertisers.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes
internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages,
platform type, date/time stamp,
and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer
the site, track
user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked
to personally
identifiable information.

Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need
to disclose
personal information when required by law wherein we
have a good-faith belief that
such action is necessary to comply
with a current judicial proceeding, a court order
or legal process
served on our Web site.
Otherwise, we DO NOT Share Personal Information
with Third Parties.
Business Transitions
In the event BlueBishop.com goes through a business transition,
such as a merger,
being acquired by another company, or selling
a portion of its assets, users’
personal information will,
in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
we,
BlueBishop.com, are not responsible for the privacy practices
of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every
Web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this
Web site.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’
information. When users
submit sensitive information via the Web
site, their information is protected both
online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users
to enter sensitive information (such as
credit card number and/or
social security number), that information is encrypted and
is protected
with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on
a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom
of Web browsers such as
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when
users are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not
just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in
our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform
a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access
to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected
screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their
password
to re-gain access to user information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are
kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally,
the servers that store
personally identifiable information are in
a secure environment.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
to this privacy
statement, the homepage, and other places we deem
appropriate so our users are
always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we
disclose it.
