The following paragraphs describe the type of information we collect on the site, the reasons why we collect this information, and with whom we may share such information. By continuing to use the site after having an opportunity to review this Statement of Privacy, you have consented to our collection, use and sharing of the information as described in this statement.

Collection of Your Personal Information

We collect personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. We also collect anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by us. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring web site addresses. This information is used by us for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Blue Skies Auction, Inc. web site

We use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you register with the Blue Skies Auction, Inc. web site or services, a cookie helps Blue Skies Auction, Inc. to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to our web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Blue Skies Auction, Inc. services or web sites you visit.

Use of Your Personal Information

We collect and use your personal information to operate the web site and deliver the services you have requested. We also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from us and our affiliates. We may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

We do not sell, rent or lease our customer lists to third parties. We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, we may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to us, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

We will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on our web site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Blue Skies Auction, Inc., and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of our website, or the public. Except as provided above, we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Security of Your Personal Information

We take commercially reasonable steps to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. We secure the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Links to Other Web Sites

We encourage you to review the privacy statements of web sites you choose to link to from us so that you can understand how those web sites collect, use and share your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on web sites outside of the Blue Skies Auction, Inc. web site.

Collection of Information About Children

We do not intend to collect, nor do we knowingly collect, any information from or about children under the age of 17. Unfortunately, we cannot always determine if a visitor to our website or the sender of an e-mail is a minor child.
