Your privacy is important to Blackpapper Computers. So we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person.
You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with Blackpapper Computers. Blackpapper Computers and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.
Here are some examples of the types of personal information Blackpapper Computers may collect and how we may use it.
What personal information we collect
• When you create an Blackpapper Computers ID, register your products, apply for commercial credit, purchase a product, download a software update, register for a class at an Blackpapper Computers Retail Store, or participate in an online survey, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address and contact preferences.
• When you share your content with family and friends using Blackpapper Computers products, send gift certificates and products, or invite others to join you on Blackpapper Computers forums, Blackpapper Computers may collect the information you provide about those people such as name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
How we use your personal information
• The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on Blackpapper Computers’s latest product announcements, software updates, and upcoming events. It also helps us to improve our services, content, and advertising. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, you can opt out anytime by sending us an email at contact@blackpapper.com
• We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.
• From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with Blackpapper Computers, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
• We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Blackpapper Computers’s products, services, and customer communications.
Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
• We may collect information such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where an Blackpapper Computers product is used so that we can better understand customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising.
If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Disclosure to Third Parties
At times Blackpapper Computers may make certain personal information available to strategic partners that work with Blackpapper Computers to provide products and services, or that help Blackpapper Computers market to customers. For example, when you purchase and activate your iPhone, you authorize Blackpapper Computers and its carrier to exchange the information you provide during the activation process to carry out service. If you are approved for service, your account will be governed by Blackpapper Computers and its carrier’s respective privacy policies. Personal information will only be shared by Blackpapper Computers to provide or improve our products, services and advertising; it will not be shared with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Service Providers
Blackpapper Computers shares personal information with companies who provide services such as information processing, extending credit, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service, assessing your interest in our products and services, and conducting customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are obligated to protect your information and may be located wherever Blackpapper Computers operates.
Others
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Blackpapper Computers to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
Protection of Personal Information
Blackpapper Computers takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
Blackpapper Computers online services such as the Blackpapper Computers Online Store use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected. To make purchases from these services, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.
When you use some Blackpapper Computers products, services, or applications or post on an Blackpapper Computers forum, chat room, or social networking service, the personal information you share is visible to other users and can be read, collected, or used by them. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.
Integrity and Retention of Personal Information
Blackpapper Computers makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under 13 we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
