We are committed to protecting and respecting the privacy of all visitors and users of this website.
Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
Data protection is a matter of trust and your trust is important to us. So that you can feel secure when visiting our websites, we strictly observe the statutory regulations in processing your person-specific data and we would like to inform you here about our data acquisition and data utilization. The following data-protection statement explains to you which data is collected from you on our websites, which parts of this data we process and use and in which way, and to whom you can turn with any concerns or requests.
The body responsible for the acquisition, processing and utilization of your person-specific data, in the sense of the Data Protection Law is Bluesky Digital Assets Corp. (hereinafter referred to as BSDA& or BSI & or Bluesky Intel). As the body responsible, BSDA can be reached by you via the following contact options:
– By post to
Blue Sky Digital Assets Corp.
First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West
Suite 5700
Toronto, Ontario
M5X 1C9
– By e-email to privacy@blueskydigitalassets.com
You can request, at any time and free of charge, information about your data stored by us, and can exercise your right to correction, blockage or deletion of your data. To this end you can make use of the previously mentioned contact options.
Should you object to the acquisition, processing or utilization of your data by BSDA in keeping with the stipulations of these data-protection provisions, whether entirely or for individual measures, you can send your objection per e-mail or by letter again using the previously mentioned contact options.
Person-specific data describes details relating to the actual or personal relationships of a specific or identifiable natural person. Such details include, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address, and all existing data that you disclose to us during registration and when opening your customer account.
Customer Account
For each customer who registers with us, we set up a customer account and or add that customer to a permission based contact list, i.e. password-protected, direct access to his or her existing data stored by us. This allows you, amongst other things, to view your provided information and or already-concluded, still open and recently sent orders, and or to manage your personal data and any newsletter or outbound communication.
Setup of the Customer Account
The following data must be given during the registration for a customer account (obligatory disclosures):
– Your e-mail address
– Your password (if applicable)
– Your first name
– Your surname
– Consent to the data-protection provisions& or a simple Opt-in option
We need your e-mail address so that we can communicate with you in general. Where applicable we may also use your e-mail address to identify you (as a log-in name), when you visit your customer account or interact with BSDA outbound communications.
Use of the Customer Account
You can use your BSDA customer account to log-in to the various BSDA websites inclusive of Bluesky Intel. We will only pass on your data to these services if you log in there. If the services are not those of BSDA, the passing on of data will even then only take place with your consent, which you can give during the respective log-in process. If you do not log out of your customer account, you will automatically remain logged in. This function enables you to use part of our services (e.g. Wish List) even without having to log-in to the customer account again. For security reasons, however, you are asked to give your password again if, for example, your personal data is to be altered or if you would like to place an order. In the absence of a customer account where a mailing list or similar is used, you will always have an option to Opt-out and or remove your permission for these communications to continue.
Acquisition, Processing and Utilization of Your Person-Specific Data
We collect, store and process your data for the entire processing of your purchase if applicable, including any subsequent guarantee claims, for our services (for example: “My Account”), the technical administration, our own marketing purposes and to prevent criminal offences and fraud. Your person-specific data is only passed on to third parties to the extent that this is legally permissible, including the purpose of processing the contract or for invoicing, for marketing or if you have previously consented to this. When processing orders, for example, the service companies used by us (transport companies, logistics companies, banks) are sent the data they require for processing and concluding orders. The data passed on to our service providers in this context may only be used by them for fulfilling their duties.
Use of Your Data for Advertising Purposes
We may, but are not limited to, using your data for the following purposes: to permanently improve your website experience and for making this more customer-friendly and individual for you; to communicate with you and about certain products or marketing campaigns; and to recommend products or services that might interest you.
To this end we use the information available, such as confirmations of receipts and reading confirmation of e-mails, information on the terminal device used by you, your connection to the Internet, operating system and platform, date and time of the visit to the home page or any BSDA website, or products that you have looked at, as well as information that we have received from you (including automatically transferred or generated information). Apart from this we also make use of your order history.
The utilization of your person-specific data for advertising purposes can be objected to at any time, whether all-in-all or as regards individual measures, without any tariffs, other than the transmission costs in keeping with the basic tariffs, being thereby incurred. Notification in text form sent by one of the contact options given under point 1 (e.g. e-mail or letter) is sufficient for this purpose.
Newsletter
For sending the Newsletter or outbound communications we make use of the e-mail address given by you and for this we need your confirmation that, as the owner of the e-mail address, you consent to its use and receipt.
Should you later decide that you no longer want to receive a newsletter or communications from us, you can object to this at any time without thereby incurring any other costs than the transmission costs in keeping with the basic tariffs. Notification in text form sent by one of the contact options given under point 1 (e.g. e-mail or letter) is sufficient for this purpose. There is, of course, also a cancellation link in every newsletter.
Product or Service Recommendations by E-Mail or by Marketing Communications
If you have made an account at BSDA& or signed-up, you may then receive regular product & service recommendations from us by e-mail or by other approved marketing channels you have consented to. These product & service recommendations are sent to you by us whether or not you have subscribed to a newsletter. In this way we want to inform you about products & services offered by us that might well interest you. If you decide that youno longer want to receive product & service recommendations from us, or no advertising news at all, you can object to this at any time without thereby incurring any other costs than the transmission costs in keeping with the basic tariffs. Notification in text form sent by one of the contact options given under point 1 (e.g. e-mail or letter) is sufficient for this purpose. There is, of course, also a cancellation or equivalent link available with every e-mail.
Banner Ads
We may also use the data collected during your visit to show you so-called banner ads or similar advertising mediums. These are advertisements which we also use on third sites. It usually involves the use of so-called cookies or pixels. Our aim here is to make the advertising offers more useful and more interesting for you, which is why you will see, in the context of the banner ads, mainly products that you have either already looked at on our site or products that are similar to those already looked at by you (so-called re-targeting). Within the framework of the banner ads we work solely with pseudonymous data; clear-text information relating to your person (e.g. your name or your e-mail address) is not used in the cookies.
Prize Draws, Contest, Market Research and Opinion Polling
For prize draws we make use of your data for win notifications and for advertising our offers. More detailed information can be found in the terms of participation for the respective prize-winning game. We also use your data for market research and opinion polling. The data collected in the context of market research and opinion polling is not used by us for advertising purposes. More detailed information (especially on the evaluation of your disclosures) can be found in the context of the respective poll, or at the location in which you make your disclosures. Your answers to opinion polls are neither passed on to third parties nor are they published. You can object to the use of data for market-research and opinion-polling purposes at any time, whether as a whole or regarding individual measures, without any costs being thereby incurred, other than the transmission costs in keeping with the basic tariffs. Notification in text form sent by one of the contact options given under point 1 (e.g. e-mail or letter) is sufficient for this purpose. There is, of course, also a cancellation link available with every opinion-poll e-mail.
The acceptance of cookies is not a prerequisite for access to our websites. We draw your attention, however, to the fact that our website and service has only limited functionality, if you do not allow us to place cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your data carrier and hold certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. Basically speaking there are 2 different types of cookies: the so-called session cookies, that are deleted as soon as you close your browser; and temporary/permanent cookies, that are stored on your data carriers for a longer period or without limit. This type of storage helps us to design our websites and our offers for you and makes it easier for you to use them in that, for example, certain input from you can be stored so that you are not required to enter this repeatedly.
Which cookies are used by BSDA?
Most of the cookies used by us are automatically deleted from your hard disk at the end of the browser session (hence the term “session cookies”). Session cookies are needed, for example, to make the shopping-basket function available to you over several pages. In addition to these we also make use of cookies that remain on your hard disk. On a subsequent visit it is then automatically recognized that you have previously visited us, and we know which input and settings you prefer. These temporary or even permanent cookies are stored on your hard disk and are automatically deleted after the pre-specified period. These cookies in particular serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Thanks to these files it is possible, for example, that the site shows you information that has been specially selected to match your interests. The sole purpose of these cookies is to adapt our offer to your customer wishes as well as possible and to make surfing with us as comfortable as possible for you.
What data is stored in the cookies?
In the cookies used by BSDA, only pseudonymous data is stored. On activation of the cookie this is allocated an identification number; an allocation of your person-specific data to this identification number is not undertaken. Your name, your IP address and other such data that might allow the cookie to be traced to you directly are not placed in the cookie. On the basis of the cookie technology we receive only pseudonymized information, relating for example to which of our shop pages have been visited, which products were viewed, etc.
What is on-site targeting?
On the BSDA websites data is collected on the basis of a cookie technology for optimization of our advertising and of the entire online offer. This data is not used to identify you personally but solely serves the purpose of conducting a pseudonymous evaluation of the use made of the home page. With this technology we can present advertising and/or special offers and services to you, the content of which is based on information obtained from a connection to click-stream analysis. Our aim here is to make our online offer as attractive for you as possible and to present to you advertising that corresponds to your areas of interest.
Are there also cookies from third-party suppliers (so-called “third-party cookies”)?
BSDA makes use of a number of web partners who help to make the Internet offer and the websites more interesting for you. This is why, when visiting the websites, the cookies of partner companies are also stored on your hard disk. These cookies are temporary/permanent cookies that are deleted automatically after the pre-specified period. These temporary or even permanent cookies are stored on your hard disk and delete themselves after the pre-specified period. The cookies of our partner companies also contain solely pseudonymous – mostly even anonymous – data. This relates, for example, to data on which products you have looked at, whether anything was bought, which products were searched for, etc. Here, some of our advertising partners also collect information from the websites on which pages you have previously visited or which products you were interested in, in order to be able to show you advertising that best complies with your interests.
Re-Targeting
Our websites make use of so-called re-targeting technologies. We use these technologies to make the Internet offer more interesting for you. This technique allows Internet users who have already shown an interest in our shop and our products to also be provided with suitable advertising on the websites of our partners. We are convinced that the use of personalized, interest-oriented advertising is generally more interesting for the Internet users than advertising that has no such personal content. The use of this advertising approach by our partners is undertaken on the basis of a cookie technology and an analysis of previous utilization behaviour. This form of advertising is completely pseudonymous. On using our sites cookies are deployed and thereby usage data is collected from you, stored and utilized. Your data is furthermore stored in cookies beyond the end of the browser session so that it can, for example, be called up again on your next visits to the websites.
How can you prevent the storage of cookies?
In your browser you can adopt the setting that storage of cookies is only permissible when you agree to it, and thereby prevent the further storage of cookies in the future. If you want to accept only the BSDA cookies but not the cookies of our service companies and partners, you can select from the browser setting. As a rule, the help function in the menu bar of your web browser will show you how to reject new cookies and how to inactivate old ones.
With each access to the pages of BSDA usage data is transmitted by the respective Internet browser and is stored in record files, the so-called server log files. The records stored in this way contain the following data: date and time of the call-up, name of the page called up, IP address, referrer URL (URL of origin, from which you came to the websites), the quantities of data transferred, product information and the version of the browser used. These log file data records are evaluated by us, to help us further improve our offer and the BSDA websites, as well as to make these more-user-friendly, to detect and correct errors more quickly and to control server capacities. At the same time we use the log-file data records to defend our BSDA shop against attacks, e.g. in the context of so-called distributed-denial-of-service attacks, which are intended to block access to our BSDA shop by overloading it with enquiries.
In order to constantly improve and optimize our offer, we make use of so-called tracking technologies. For this purpose we enlist the services of Google Analytics & Facebook Analytics.
