Cookies

We may collect non-personal information through the use of either "cookie" technology, IP address tracking or both. Non-personal information is information that does not identify you personally and might include the browser you use, the type of computer, the operating system, the Internet service provider and other similar information. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on this site. Cookies allow us to personalise your experience at this site by automatically gathering information about the areas you visit on this site and about the links you may select from within this site to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online. Cookies also allow you to securely store your encrypted password (in the event one is necessary), without having to constantly re-enter it.

We use such information in the aggregate to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on this site. In this way we know which areas of this site are favourites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve this site.

We may also share this aggregate statistical information with our partners, suppliers and other third parties. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of this site may not work properly.

Information Sharing

• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we may be acquired, merge with another business, acquire or buy other businesses or assets. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In such an event, both personal identification and non-personal information will be one of the transferred assets, and by using this site you agree to the transfer of your personal information in such circumstances.
• Protection of Blue Marlin Corp.: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Blue Marlin Corp., our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
