Legitimate Interests: We may process your data if it is necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.

Vital Interests: We may disclose your information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of individuals and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation to which we are a party.

Specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. For specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies, please see our Cookie Notice.

 

 

5. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?     

 

In short, if you choose to register or log in to our Services through a social media account, we may have access to certain information about you.

 

Our Services give you the option to register and log in using your third-party social media account information (e.g., your Facebook or Twitter logins). If you choose to do so, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary by social media provider, but often includes your name, email address, friends list, profile picture, and other information you choose to make public on that social media platform.

 

We will only use the information we receive for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or otherwise made clear to you on the respective services. Please note that we have no control over, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your social media provider. We encourage you to read their privacy notices to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information and how you can set your privacy preferences on their websites and apps.

 

 

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

 

In short, we keep your information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise required by law.

 

We will retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes set forth in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). None of the purposes set forth in this Notice requires us to retain your Personal Information for longer than the period of time users have an account with us.

 

If we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize that data, or if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will keep your personal data secure and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

 

 

7. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA?

 

In short, we strive to protect your personal data through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

 

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the security of the personal data we process. However, despite our security measures and efforts to protect your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or warrant that hackers, cybercriminals or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to breach our security and unlawfully collect, access, steal or alter your information. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, any transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

 

 

8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

 

In short, we do not knowingly collect information from or market to children under the age of 18.

 

We do not knowingly solicit or market to children under the age of 18. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age or that you are the parent or guardian of such minor and consent to such minor's use of the Services. If we learn that Personal Information has been collected from users under the age of 18, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable steps to promptly delete such information from our records. If you learn of any information we may have collected from children under 18, please contact us at privacy@beeblum.com.

 

 

9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

 

In short, in some regions, such as the European Economic Area, you have rights that give you greater access to and control over your personal information. You can review, change, or cancel your account at any time.

 

In some regions (such as the European Economic Area), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to (i) access and request a copy of your Personal Data, (ii) request rectification or erasure; (iii) restrict the processing of your Personal Data; and (iv) if applicable, data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will review each request in accordance with applicable data protection laws and act accordingly.

 

If we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal, nor does it affect the processing of your personal data carried out in reliance on lawful grounds for processing other than consent.

 

If you reside in the European Economic Area and believe that we are unlawfully processing your personal data, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES.

 

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting that you can enable to signal your privacy preference that you do not want data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this time, no uniform technology standard has been established for the detection and implementation of DNT signals. Therefore, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or other mechanisms that automatically communicate your decision not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will notify you of that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice. 

 

 

11. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIAL PRIVACY RIGHTS?

 

Yes, if you are a California resident, you have certain rights regarding access to your personal information.

If you are a California resident and wish to make such a request, please submit it to us in writing using the contact information provided below.

 

If you are under 18 years of age, a California resident, and have a registered account with a Service, you have the right to request the removal of any unsolicited data that you post publicly on the Services. To request the removal of such data, please contact us using the contact information provided below and include the email address associated with your account and a statement that you are a California resident.

What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way we can recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier that allows us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an email that contains them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether you came to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third party website, improve website performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so refusing cookies will affect their function.

 

Do you use Flash cookies or local shared objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other website operations, among other things. beeBlum.com does not use Flash cookies itself, but cannot rule out the possibility that third-party vendors may use such cookies. If you do not want Flash cookies to be stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block the storage of Flash cookies by using the tools in the website storage settings area. You can also control Flash cookies by accessing the Global Storage Settings panel and following the instructions (which may explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash cookies (referred to as "information" on the Macromedia website), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash cookies that are not supplied by the operator of the page you are currently on).

 

Please note that setting Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash cookies may limit or hinder the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our Services or online content.

 

Do you serve targeted ads?

beeBlum.com itself does not serve advertising. However, third-party companies may place cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve ads through our websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide you with relevant advertising about goods and services that may interest you. They may also use technologies designed to measure the effectiveness of advertising. This may be accomplished by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide you with relevant advertising about goods and services that may interest you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide them.

 

 

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your terminal device and enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by means of cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA.

The setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if necessary, advertising.

 

IP anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. It ensures that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

 

Browser Plugin

The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, some functions of our website may be restricted as a result. You can also prevent the collection of data regarding your website usage, including your IP address and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

 

Objection to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that will prevent the collection of your data during future visits to our website: Disable Google Analytics.

For details on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

 

Order processing

To fully comply with the legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.

 

Demographic characteristics with Google Analytics

Our website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the point "Objection to data collection".

 

Fullstory

For the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our websites, we use the analysis service Fullstory, a service of Fullstory Inc. on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. (hereinafter "Fullstory"), 120 Ottley Dr. NE, Atlanta, GA 30324, USA. Fullstory stores and collects data in anonymized form using cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our websites, such as your user behavior and entries on our websites, browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and time of the server request, is transmitted to a Fullstory server in the USA and stored there. The records of these sessions allow us to analyze them and subsequently improve the website experience for visitors.
