Who We Are
BlueCloud (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and secure your information when you visit our website at https://blueuc.com.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the information provided in the comment form as well as your IP address and browser user agent to help prevent spam. An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. If your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture will be displayed alongside your comment. For more details, please review Gravatar’s Privacy Policy.
Media
If you upload images, please ensure they do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Any location data present in images can be extracted by others.
Cookies
- When you comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
- When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies; this cookie does not contain personal data and is discarded when your browser closes.
- When you log in, cookies are used to remember your login information (lasting two days) and your screen display preferences (lasting one year). If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
- When you edit or publish an article, a cookie is set with the post ID (with no personal data) that expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly. These external sites may collect data, set cookies, and employ tracking mechanisms. We have no control over their privacy practices.
Data Sharing
At BlueCloud, your privacy is paramount. We DO NOT SHARE your personal data with any third parties. The only exception is when you request a password reset; in this case, your IP address is included in the reset email solely for security purposes.
Data Retention
- Comments: Any comments you leave, along with their metadata, are retained indefinitely so that we can automatically approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.
- User Accounts: For registered users, the personal data provided in your user profile is stored indefinitely. You can view, edit, or delete your information (except your username) at any time. Website administrators also have access to this information for maintenance purposes.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for any information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Data Transmission & Security
To protect against spam, visitor comments may be analyzed using an automated spam detection service. All data transmission is handled securely in accordance with our internal policies.
SMS Data Storage & Access
Your SMS data is stored securely within the BlueCloud network and is accessible only to BlueCloud employees. We do not share SMS data externally. Currently, we utilize a third-party application (YakChat) solely to provide SMS functionality through a web interface.
Mobile Privacy & Use Policy
Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Additionally, all the categories mentioned above exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, which will not be shared with any third parties under any circumstances.
Messaging Terms & Conditions
You agree to receive informational messages (support for any technical issues) from BlueCloud. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. For help, reply HELP or email us at support@blueuc.com. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP.
