Cookies and Web Beacons
When a website sends a cookie to your browser, it includes an anonymous unique identifier, which is stored on your computer’s hard disk. Some Blocksays services require cookies to function. To keep track of your current session, Blocksays and its ad management partners (“Ad Partners”) employ cookies.
Web beacons may also be used by our advertising partners from time to time (which are also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, and clear GIFs). These web beacons are provided by our Ad Partners and allow Ad Partners to collect information such as the IP address of the computer that has downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and information in cookies set by the Ad Partners. A unique cookie on your web browser is recognized by our Ad Partners, which, in its turn, allows us to learn which ad has brought people to our Website.
As a result, the information we gather and exchange via cookies or web beacons is anonymous and unidentified. Neither your name, address, phone number nor e-mail address is included in this information.
With the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, you may choose to opt out of Google Analytics data gathering.
Storage of Data
Blocksays relies on third-party suppliers and hosting partners to supply the necessary technologies to run the Blocksays Website. Code, databases, and rights to Blocksays’s website are entirely owned by Blocksays.com.
Security
We take measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access. Despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee that hackers or other unauthorized individuals won’t be able to access your personal information. Note that when using Blocksays, your information may travel through third-party infrastructures and over the Internet, which Blocksays is not responsible for and has no control of.
Any information you send to other users is not covered by this Privacy Policy and cannot be protected. Personal or identifiable information should never be shared with other members of the community.
Personal Information Retention
We keep your information for as long as it is required to perform the services you and others have requested, subject to any applicable legal requirements. Once we no longer need your data to deliver the Services, we will keep them until you ask us to remove them or your account has been deleted, whichever comes first. To comply with the law, prevent fraud, arbitrate disputes, troubleshoot problems and aid in investigations; to enforce the Terms of Use; and to take other legal measures authorized by law, we may preserve information from deleted accounts. This Privacy Policy governs how we use the information we collect.
As a result, Blocksays may de-identify and aggregate your personal information with non-personal data in order to give insights that are commercially useful, such as statistics linked to the use of its Website and application.
Children
We don’t intentionally collect information from minors under the age of 16.
Any personal information submitted by children under the age of 16 must be approved by their parents or legal guardians. At least 18-year-olds or 16-year-olds with parental or guardian permission to use the Blocksays service are allowed to use this service.
Complaints
While we hope we can address any questions or concerns you have about how we use your personal data, you always have the right to take your complaints to your local supervisory authority.
Changes
This policy may be revised and changed from time to time by Blocksays. To further protect your privacy and let you know when substantial changes are made to the way we process personal information, we will post a notice explaining those changes in a clear and conspicuous place on our Website.
