What This Privacy Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy describes Blue Sky Ventures International LLC’s use of Personal Information and Anonymous Information that we collect when you use the Blue Sky Ventures International LLC Services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the use of your Personal Information that is collected by third parties that Blue Sky Ventures International LLC does not own or control or that do not support Blue Sky Ventures International LLC in providing the Blue Sky Ventures International 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.

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 Ventures International LLC Services. Details of these practices can be found following the overview:
Ordering Products & Services on the Blue Sky Ventures International LLC Web site:
You can request products or services from Blue Sky Ventures International LLC by phone, fax, email, or the online request form.

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 Ventures International 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 Ventures International 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.

Occasionally, we may announce a special promotion or offer on the Blue Sky Ventures International 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.

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 Ventures International LLC Services if you disable cookies in your web browser, certain parts of the Blue Sky Ventures International LLC Services may not function as effectively.
Other Sources
