JumpstartCoastal.com
( powered by BlueStar Enterprises
- "BlueStar" ) cares about the privacy
of each user of its Web site users ("user" or "you").
In order to protect the privacy of its users, BlueStar has adopted
the following policy:
I. General Information
When you use the Web site, some basic general information is collected.
This information is used to improve the Web site and make your use
of the Web site as enjoyable and efficient as possible. Cookies
are also used to help us determine the various services you use
and the support you may need, and to help us detect and solve any
problems you may have when using the Web site. This general information
is used internally in connection with BlueStar's marketing and advertising
efforts.
II. Personal Information
When you set up an account or purchase an item from the Web site,
we collect personal information (which you provide) that may include
your: (i) first and last name; (ii) billing address; (iii) shipping
address; (iv) other shipping addresses; (v) email address; (vi)
phone number; (vii) credit card account number; (viii) items purchased
from us; and (ix) browsing, buying and selling patterns (collectively,
"Personal Information").
III. Use/Sharing of Personal Information
Your name, shipping and billing addresses, and credit card number(s)
are used by BlueStar in order to provide you with the goods that
you purchase on the Web site. We use your email address to provide
you with information about your order and its status, and we may
occasionally send out emails, including newsletters, to people who
have placed an order online, offering them more great deals. Your
phone number is used by BlueStar only in the event that our customer
service representatives need to contact you about an order you have
placed.
Personal Information is used internally in connection with BlueStar,
including BlueStar promotional, marketing and advertising efforts,
in a manner which does not readily identify a user to any third
party. BlueStar currently does not share with any third party any
Personal Information that could readily identify any user. BlueStar
will not disclose any user's credit card information to any third
party without such user's prior consent.
Credit Card Security
The Internet is a vast network of computers. Because the data passes
from computer to computer, some Internet shoppers worry that unauthorized
persons may intercept the data and gain access to credit card numbers,
but shopping on a secure site is actually safer than handing a credit
card to a waiter in a restaurant. Taking the steps below will lower
the chances of interception of your credit card number:a) Limit
your online shopping to Internet merchants, such as BlueStar, with
sites equipped with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL prevents
unauthorized people from intercepting your data. b) Use a browser,
such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, that supports SSL.
These browsers show a symbol in the status bar, such as a key or
lock, when you are on a site that uses SSL. Most banks will cover
the cost of fraud resulting from unauthorized use of your credit
card or may limit your liability.
Credit card information collected by BlueStar is encrypted through
Secure Sockets Layer before it is transmitted over the Internet.
BlueStar fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies in identifying
those who use our services for illegal activities, and may in its
sole discretion disclose Personal Information or other information
to satisfy any law, regulation, subpoena, or government request.
BlueStar reserves the right to release Personal Information or other
information about users who we believe are engaged in illegal activities
or are otherwise in violation of our Terms of Use, even without
a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we believe in our sole discretion
that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate the
web site, or to protect the rights or property of BlueStar, its
affiliates, or any of their officers, directors, or employees, agents,
third-party content providers, suppliers, sponsors, or licensors.
BlueStar also reserves the right to report to law enforcement agencies
any activities we reasonably believe in our sole discretion to be
unlawful.
IV. Preventing the Use of Personal Information
If you would like to make sure that we do not share your Personal
Information with third parties, just use the Contact Us form with
a message that states, "Do not share personal information"
in the subject field. Please provide your name, address and current
email address in the message.
V. Collecting Information From Children Younger than 13
BlueStar does not knowingly collect or use any Personal Information
from children younger than 13 years of age without obtaining verifiable
parental consent.
VI. Miscellaneous
BlueStar wants you to be aware that when you click on links (including
advertising banners), which take you to third-party Web sites, you
will be subject to such third parties' privacy policies. While we
support the protection of privacy on the Internet, BlueStar expressly
disclaims any and all liability for the actions of third parties,
including without limitation actions relating to the use and/or
disclosure of Personal Information by third parties. Our Privacy
and Child Protection Policy is subject to change. In the event of
any change, we will provide notice of such change on this page.
If you have questions about this Privacy and Child Protection Policy,
or believe that BlueStar has acted inconsistently with this statement,
please contact us.
