BLUE LANCE is committed to protecting your privacy. Regardless of the nature or source of your personal information in our possession, BLUE LANCE will use that information solely for internal business purposes. We will not sell your personal information. If we share your personal information with third parties performing services for us, or acting on our behalf, we will contractually require them to protect your information.
Collection of Personal Information
In general, you can visit this site without telling us who you are or disclosing personal information about yourself; only the name of the domain from which you access the Internet as well as the Internet address and the date and time you access this web site are logged. The user otherwise remains anonymous. BLUE LANCE uses such non-personal information to analyze trends as well as measure the number of visitors to different parts of this site and how much time they spend there, to help us make the site more useful to visitors. BLUE LANCE recognizes as “personal information” the information that personally identifies you, plus any associated information that allows us to contact you, or that allows us to respond more effectively to a request from you. Your personal information may be known to us because you have licensed products from us. Or we may come into possession of your personal information through a variety of means, both active and passive, of types described below.
We request personal information when you are registering an account with the bleulance.com site or registering to receive information such as a white paper or newsletter, entering a contest, signing up for an event or training, or downloading or purchasing BLUE LANCE products. Personal information collected through bluelance.com is generally limited to your name, contact information, job title, and areas of job responsibility, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.
In other cases, certain actions by you will have the effect of providing personal information to BLUE LANCE. For example, you may participate in a BLUE LANCE blog, chat or forum, or send an e-mail message to BLUE LANCE requesting a response. Additionally, your action in response to a BLUE LANCE-initiated contact may allow BLUE LANCE to associate your personal and non-personal information, and that association would also be treated as personal information.
Use of Personal Information
When you provide personal information or data to BLUE LANCE, you are consenting to the use of that data by BLUE LANCE, as stated in this Privacy Statement. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which BLUE LANCE or its affiliates, contractors, or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country in compliance with applicable law.
BLUE LANCE will primarily use your personal information to:
Provide you with periodic information you agreed to receive about BLUE LANCE products, services, and events

Alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new services from BLUE LANCE, unless you have opted out of this use.
BLUE LANCE may send out periodic e-mails informing you of a technical service or security issues related to a product or service you have requested or purchased, or confirming your request or purchase of a product or service. You will not be able to choose to unsubscribe from these mailings, as they are considered an essential part of the service you have chosen.
Sharing of Personal Information
Regardless of the nature or source of your personal information in our possession will use that information solely for internal business purposes. We will not sell your personal information. If we share your information with third parties performing services for us, or acting on our behalf, we will not allow them to use your information for other purposes, and we will contractually require them to protect your information.
Otherwise, BLUE LANCE will not share your personal information unless compelled to do so by exceptional conditions such as the following: BLUE LANCE may be required to share information by law or legal edict; BLUE LANCE may share information in a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect the personal safety of BLUE LANCE users, protect and defend the rights or property of BLUE LANCE and its family of web sites, or protect the public; BLUE LANCE may share information if a complaint or legal action arises from your posted content on an BLUE LANCE bulletin board; or the information may pass to another entity in connection with an asset sale of a BLUE LANCE product line, or of substantially all of the business of BLUE LANCE.
