During registration, blue-bag.com collects basic online contact information about you: Name, company address and email address.
Visitors are also able to send email through the site, and their messages will contain the user’s screen name and email address, as well as any additional information the user may wish to include in the message. Please note registration is not required for you to use our site. We encourage registration so that we may send you periodic email updates about what’s new at Blue-Bag.

What Do We Do With the Information We Collect? |
[top] |
|
A user might provide personal information for these purposes:
Information provided to request a publication, such as a white paper, is used only to send that publication to the person who requested it. Contact information used to register for access to an area on the site may be retained to provide updates, when requested by the user, or to track interest in that area on the site. Contact information may be used to follow up on a visitor’s interest for business-related purposes. Blue-Bag gives you choices regarding the collection and usage of your personally identifiable information. One of the services we provide subscribers at blue-bag.com is notification, via email, of “What’s new on blue-bag.com.” We request, during registration, contact information (name and email address) of those visitors who wish to be kept informed of recent Blue-Bag publications, studies, projects and changes to the blue-bag.com web site. Again, it is not necessary for you to register with blue-bag.com for you to access and use our web site. Therefore, if you so choose, you may opt out of providing such information to us, and the decision will not affect your online experience at blue-bag.com. Furthermore, if you have already registered with us and wish not to receive future emails you may unsubscribe (see unsubscribe instructions below). This “unsubscribe” option is also provided at the end of blue-bag.com emails to you through this service. Opportunities to send email through the web site are not active solicitations of identifying information by blue-bag; rather, email options let individuals send comments and communications to us. These messages are forwarded through the site to the appropriate persons within Blue-Bag to respond, at their discretion, to the questions or comments. |

How Long Do We Keep Information? |

Some of the information we receive is not kept – for example, we usually do not keep mailing addresses for white papers. Contact information about visitors (such as information generated though registration for access to areas on the site) may be kept as long as the information is valid or until the user requests that we delete that information. Email and resumes are retained or disposed of at the recipient’s discretion.
blue-bag.com does not sell, distribute or disclose your personally identifiable information collected at registration to any third parties (except as may be required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process). Blue-Bag assumes no responsibility for the information practices of sites a user is able to access through ours. |
