BlastPoint may request other information from You during or after the registration process that BlastPoint uses to provide better and more customized services to its customers. You acknowledge that this information is personal to You, and by creating an account on BlastPoint, You may allow others, including BlastPoint, to identify You and to allow BlastPoint to use Your information in accordance with the Terms of Service. Customer Service BlastPoint collects information when You interact with BlastPoint’s customer service in order to accurately categorize and respond to customer inquiries and investigate breaches of BlastPoint’s Terms of Service. Using Third Party Services and Visiting Third Party Sites Information You provide to third-party sites/websites through the Service are not within the control of BlastPoint and You provide such information at Your own risk. The terms and conditions of use and the privacy policies of those websites that You provide information to through the Service will govern their use of such information. Any information You share with third-party services through the Service will be collected by BlastPoint. BlastPoint will use such information in compliance with this Privacy Policy. Use of Cookies The Services may send a “cookie” to Your computer or other device. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to Your browser from a web server and stored on Your computer’s or device’s hard drive. A cookie cannot read data off Your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage Your system. Cookies allow BlastPoint to recognize You as a user when You return to the BlastPoint website using the same computer and web browser. BlastPoint uses cookies to identify which areas of the Services You have used, so the next time You use the Services, those pages may be readily accessible. BlastPoint also may use this information to better personalize the content that You see while using the Services. Most browser software can be set to reject Cookies. However, if You reject BlastPoint’s Cookies, certain functionality on the Services may not work correctly or at all. BlastPoint does not link NPI from Cookies to Your PII. In the course of optimizing the Service, BlastPoint may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on Your browser. Any information provided to third parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable, but may provide general segment information for the enhancement of Your user experience by providing more relevant advertising. BlastPoint does not store unencrypted PII in the cookies. Web Beacons BlastPoint also may use web beacons, pixels, anonymous ad network tags, and cookies to collect NPI about Your use of the Services and the websites of selected sponsors and advertisers, to collect anonymized, aggregated auditing, research and reporting for advertisers, and to collect data related to Your use of special promotions or newsletters. The information collected by Web Beacons also allows BlastPoint to statistically monitor how many people open BlastPoint’s emails and for what purposes these actions are being taken. BlastPoint’s Web Beacons are not used to track Your activity outside of the Services or the websites of BlastPoint’s sponsors. BlastPoint does not link NPI from Web Beacons to PII without Your permission. However, because Your web browser requests advertisements and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if You had requested a web page from their site. If You are a non-registered Visitor of the Services, the only information BlastPoint collects will be NPI through the use of cookies or web beacons. Log files, IP Addresses and information about Your computer and mobile device Due to the communications standards on the internet, when You visit the Services, BlastPoint automatically receives the URL of the Services from which You came and the Services to which You are going when You leave BlastPoint’s Services.

BlastPoint may also receive location data passed to it from third-party services or GPS-enabled devices that You have enabled. Also, as described above, BlastPoint receives information when You access third-party web pages through the Service. The link between Your IP address and Your PII is not shared with third parties without Your permission, except as described in Section 8. (“When BlastPoint May Disclose Your Information”), below.
