Privacy Policy
Blue Sky LLC (“Blue Sky LLC”, “us”, or “we”) is committed to
providing members with a secure online environment. To help you
understand our privacy policy, the following information explains
our information-gathering and dissemination practices for our web
site located at BlueSkyVI.com (the “Web Site”), and our LLC products
and services, (collectively, the “Blue Sky
LLC Services”).
What
This Privacy Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy describes Blue Sky LLC’s use of Personal Information and Anonymous
Information that we collect when you use the Blue Sky LLC Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the
use of your Personal Information that is collected by third parties that
Blue Sky LLC does not own or control or that do
not support Blue Sky LLC in providing the Blue Sky LLC Services. “Personal Information” is
information that is personally identifiable like names, addresses,
e-mail addresses, or phone numbers, as well as other non-public
information that is associated with the foregoing. BY USING THE Blue Sky LLC SERVICES OR SUBMITTING PERSONAL INFORMATION
THROUGH OUR Blue Sky LLC SERVICES, YOU EXPRESSLY
CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THIS
PRIVACY POLICY. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED BY US IN THE
COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE
UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY.
Where We Collect
Information
This section provides an overview of the kinds of
personal information we ask for and how we use it in connection with the
Blue Sky LLC Services. Details of these practices
can be found following the overview:
| Ordering Products & Services on the
Blue Sky LLC Web site:
You can request products or services from
Blue Sky LLC by phone, fax, email, or
the online request form. In some cases, you also have the
option of requesting and paying for the service entirely
online. The request form asks for personal information that
identifies who you are, such as your name, email address,
and shipping address, as well as financial information, such
as your credit card number and the card's expiration date.
This type of information will also be collected by us if you
request products and services by phone, fax, or email. In
general, we will collect any information (including Personal
Information) necessary to accommodate your request and to
provide you with the Blue Sky LLC
products and services.
Participating in
Surveys
Occasionally, we may give you the
opportunity to participate in a survey online or by email to
help us adapt the Blue Sky LLC
Services to the expressed needs of customers. If you decide
to accept, we may ask for demographic information, such as
your age and ZIP code, but typically we will not ask for,
and therefore not collect any, personal information.
Participating in
Promotions
Occasionally, we may announce a special promotion or offer
on the Blue Sky LLC Web site or by
email, if you have elected to receive emails. If you choose
to participate, we may ask for certain information that
identifies who you are, such as your name and address, so
that we can follow through on the promotion.
Sending Gifts to Others
When you use Blue Sky LLC services to
send a gift to someone else, we ask you to give us the
necessary personal information of the recipient so that we
can fulfill your request.
Sending Us Email
When you contact us by email, we automatically receive your
email address, as well as any contact information that is
included in, or attached to, the email. |
How We Collect
Information
We capture and store information from the Web site in
the following ways:
|
Session IDs/Log Files
Like most Web sites, we automatically gather certain types
of information and store it in log files each time you visit
Blue Sky Ventures, LLC. The system retains the information
only for the duration of the session, and your individual
identity remains anonymous unless you place an order.
Session information includes Internet protocol (IP)
addresses, the type of Web browser you use, your Internet
service provider, your computer's operating system, a
date/time stamp for your visit, and clickstream data
(indicating the Web pages you navigate to).
We use this information to analyze trends, administer the
site, track users' movements around the site, and gather
aggregated information about our user base as a whole.
Cookies
We reserve the right to use cookies (small text files that
store data on your computer for record-keeping purposes) on
the Web Site. We may use both session cookies (which expire
once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies
(which stay on your computer until you delete them). While
you will still be able to use the Blue Sky LLC Services if you disable cookies in your
web browser, certain parts of the Blue Sky LLC Services may not function as effectively.
Other Sources
We may receive Personal Information about you from other
sources like telephone or fax, or from third parties that
provide services for us in connection with the Blue Sky LLC Services. We may add this
information to the information we have already collected
from you via our Blue Sky LLC
Services. |
How We Use
Information
The Web Site describes the benefits, products and
services available as part of the Blue Sky LLC
membership.
To provide these services, Blue Sky LLC
coordinates with a network of product and service providers around the
world to arrange special benefits, upgrades, discounts, and preferred
status for Blue Sky LLC members.
In general, Personal Information you submit to us is used by us either
to provide your with Blue Sky LLC products and
services, respond to requests that you make, to improve our Blue Sky LLC Services and to better tailor the features,
performance and support of the Blue Sky LLC
Services, and to offer you additional information, opportunities, and
functionality:
|

As needed, we communicate with you to reply to your
questions and provide the services you ask for.
Customer Profiles
At any time, you can view, change, or update your personal
information in your customer profile by clicking "Your

Special Offers & Updates
Occasionally, we communicate information on products,
services, special offers, and promotions. Out of respect for
your privacy, we give you the option not to receive these
types of communications. (Please see the section below
entitled, "Opting In.")
Service-Related Announcements
On rare occasions, we may send you an email announcement
related to our Web-based services, but only when it is
necessary to do so—for example, if access to the Web site is
temporarily closed for maintenance, or if we make changes to
our Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy. Because
service-related communications are not promotional, you will
not be able to opt out of receiving them.
We may also use your Personal Information to provide you
with notifications related to your use of the Blue Sky LLC Services, such as electronic
newsletters or promotional e-mails, should you request to
receive such communications from us. |
When We Share
Information
The following explains the types of information we
share with others, and who these other parties are:
|
Aggregated Information

things as the number of people who visit our Web site, what
sections they visit most, what ZIP codes they live in, and
whether they're male or female. Unlike personal information,

does not allow us to identify individuals. We may create
aggregate information from Personal Information by excluding
information (such as your name) that makes the information
personally identifiable to you. We may also create Anonymous
Information on how you use the Blue Sky LLC Services, or Blue Sky LLC products and services. We may use this
Anonymous Information for internal purposes, such as
analyzing usage patterns so that we may enhance our Blue Sky LLC Services.
We may share aggregated information about our customer base
as a whole with existing or potential Blue Sky' clients, and
our network of service providers, such as the spas,
restaurants, ticket services, and other service providers we
work with to arrange products, services, and special offers
for Blue Sky LLC customers.

Policy.

state and local laws and guidelines regarding privacy

service providers and suppliers do not have any
