Privacy and Security

Thank you for visiting and shopping at www.projectbly.com, a travel and ecommerce site owned and operated by Bly, Inc. We take privacy very seriously, and keeping your personal information secure is very important to us. Please take a minute to read our privacy policy below. By visiting our website, www.projectbly.com, you acknowledge that you accept the policies outlined herein and hereby consent to Bly Inc.’s use of your information in the following ways.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personal identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our website, www.projectbly.com. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or mange. This policy does not apply to information that you choose to disclose publicly on the site (i.e. information that is viewable to other site users).

What personal information does Project Bly and Bly, Inc. collect?

The information we gather from customers enables us to personalize and improve our services. We collect the following types of information from our customers:

  1. Personal Information You Provide to Us:

    We receive and store any information you provide to us whether by e-mail, registering to receive e-mail newsletters, placing a product order, or otherwise through our website. The types of Personal Information collected may include your name, email address, zip code, address, and/or phone number. You can choose not to provide us with certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of certain features. We use the Personal Information you provide to enhance your experience with Project Bly.

    We use a third party service provider to process payment transactions. We do not collect, store or otherwise have access to credit card information. Our payment processor is presently Stripe. You should review their Security Policy https://stripe.com/us/privacy to ensure that you are comfortable with their use and disclosure of your information.

    We also accept payments through Paypal. You should also review their privacy policy https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=ua/Privacy_full&locale.x=en_US.

  2. Information Collected Automatically:
    • Whenever you interact with our website, we may automatically receive and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, “cookie” information, and the page you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your computer through your browser that allow us to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser to prevent or limit your computer’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of certain of our site’s features. Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your computer, when you click on ads that appear on our site. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
    • When we collect usage information (such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site), we only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. For example, this aggregate data tells us how often customers use parts of our site, so that we can make our site appealing to as many users as possible. We never disclose aggregate information to a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.
    • E-mail Communications:

    You may sign up to receive periodic emails from us. If at anytime you decide that you do not want to receive our newsletter, you can unsubscribe or send us an e mail at hello@projectbly.com.

Will Bly, Inc. Sell any of the Personal Information it collects?

We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information to anyone. We share your Personal Information in personally identifiable form only as described below.

  1. Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: In certain situations, businesses we’re affiliated with may sell items or provide services to you through our website (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction.
  2. Agents: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, our agents do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
  3. Communication About the Website: If a user voluntarily provides us with Personal Information in an email, we will use that Personal Information only to contact such user to respond to such user’s inquiry unless that Personal Information is given to us with permission to share with other users on our website.
  4. Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. If we (or substantially all of our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, Personal Information would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
  5. Legal Compliance: We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with that law; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Bly, Inc., our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
  6. With Your Consent: Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.
Is Personal Information about me secure?

All credit card information is processed by Stripe or Paypal. We believe that they appropriately protect your information but you should review their privacy practices. We endeavor to protect the privacy of your Personal Information we hold in our records, but we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.

Do I have to give you any Personal Information?

No, of course not, but without receiving your name, e mail address, address, phone number, zip code, we will not be able to ship you products. Giving us certain information also allows us to enhance your user experience. Also remember that you can unsubscribe from our Newsletter at any time.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our website or sending you an email. You are bound by any changes to the Privacy Policy when you use the Site after such changes have been first posted.

QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policies, please send us a detailed message to hello@projectbly.com. We will make every effort to resolve your concerns.
