To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

If you do not wish to have your contact information used by the Company to promote our own or third parties’ products or services, you can opt out by checking the relevant box located on the form on which we collect your data (the registration form) or at any other time by sending us an email stating your request to info@BasBlueus.com.

Please note that, regardless of your promotional offer preferences, we may still contact you for transactional, operational, or informational purposes, such as for customer service, reminders, or information regarding the Website.
- Targeted Advertising. We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI“) on the NAI’s website.
Retention
We will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary to perform the processing activity for that information, as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us, or as required or allowed by law. The relevant retention period is determined on a case‑by‑case basis because it depends on things like the nature of the data, why it is collected, why it is processed, and any legal or operational retention needs. For example, we may retain your data for as long as you use our Service. When the relevant processing activity has been completed, we may destroy your data, or alternatively anonymize the data such that the data is not personally identifiable. We do not have any obligation or liability to you or any other party with respect to personal information that is deleted or destroyed.

Data Security
