We are a global business. Personal Data may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers. We may transfer Personal Data that we maintain about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the Personal Data was originally collected, including to the United States. Those countries may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. However, we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your Personal Data remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Data.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the UK or Switzerland, we comply with applicable laws to provide an adequate level of data protection for the transfer of your Personal Data to the US. Where applicable law requires us to ensure that an international data transfer is governed by a data transfer mechanism, we use one or more of service providers to help us do so.
We use the Personal Information and Other Information we collect from and about you to:
We may use, or share with others (in anonymous or non-readable form where appropriate) your information in order to better recognize you when visiting the Site and to provide relevant advertising (for BlueX Trade or third party's products/services), based on the interests of the business entity you represent, on the Site, on other sites and apps and other channels including television, email and direct mail.
During at least the past 12 months, we have disclosed your Personal Information for the following business purposes:
We also may use and disclose your Personal Information as we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law, which may include laws outside your country of residence; (b) to respond to requests from courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, and other public and government authorities, which may include such authorities outside your country of residence; (c) to enforce our terms and conditions; and (d) to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others.
Where appropriate, we will limit sharing of your Personal Information in accordance with the choices you have provided us in response to our Privacy Notice or other privacy choices that we may make available.
We may share de-identified or aggregated information with third parties to help deliver products, services, and content that are tailored to the users of our Sites and for other business purposes.
We may transfer information to BlueX Trade affiliated companies or other parties throughout the world to process transactions and provide products and services to the business entity you represent. Regardless of where we process your information, we still treat it in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable law.
BlueX Trade, as well as others, offers account aggregation services that allow the business entity you represent to consolidate the electronically enabled financial account information from the business entity you represent from different sources (such as the accounts of the business entity you represent with us or with other financial institutions) so that you can view all of the account information of the business entity you represent in one online location. When acting as an account aggregator, BlueX Trade or its aggregation service provider may request your account user credentials for third-party (non-BlueX Trade) financial accounts, including usernames and passwords, in order to access the account information of the business entity you represent as the agent of the business entity.
If you provide us access, as the agent of the business entity you represent, to your third-party account information we may use such information as well as the BlueX Trade account information where applicable, to provide the business entity you represent offers, suggestions and insights on the spending, savings and other financial behaviors of the business entity you represent. These insights are not investment, tax or legal advice and neither BlueX nor any of its affiliates are acting as a tax, legal or investment advisor in providing same.
You may on behalf of the business entity you represent cancel enrollment in BlueX Trade's aggregation service or delete accounts at any time. Upon cancellation or deletion of an account, we will delete and direct our service provider to delete this data from our and their respective records as permitted under applicable law.
With regard to aggregation services provided by a third-party, if you provide your user credentials or other Personal Information about the BlueX Trade accounts established by the business entity you represent to a third-party aggregation services provider, we will consider that you have authorized all transactions or actions initiated by such access information you provide, whether or not you were aware of a specific transaction or action. If you decide on behalf of the business entity you represent to revoke the authority you have given to an aggregation website, we strongly recommend that you change your password for BlueX Trade to ensure that the aggregation website cannot continue to access the account information.
We may, directly or through third parties, serve ads regarding products and services intended to be of interest to the business entity you represent on the Site and on third party sites or apps. We and others may use the online technologies described in the Use of Information section above to make inferences and predictions about the characteristics, interests and preferences of the business entity you represent based on your and its online interests and activities across other sites. We may also use technologies to associate and recognize your various mobile and desktop devices in order to deliver ads and other content in a consistent manner across the devices you use. Information we collect using the technologies described above may also be associated or linked with Personal Information, such as email or postal address, you provided directly to us or others. Alternatively, Personal Information may also be linked with characteristics or attributes about you or the business entity you represent, such as lifestyle interests, in support of our marketing efforts. If you opt out of interest-based advertising, as described in the Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Information section below, you will not receive such customized ads on the Site or in other places.
You have certain rights with regard to your Personal Information.
A. Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to request and receive certain information about disclosure of your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Because it is our policy not to share your Personal Information with third parties for third-party direct marketing purposes without your consent, we are exempt from the requirement to respond to such requests. If you have any questions related to our policy, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below.
For information regarding how to exercise your rights as a consumer under the California Consumer Privacy Act, please see Supplemental provisions for California residents in the Appendix to this Privacy Notice.
B. Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising
Both the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance (to whose principles we adhere) provide information about and technologies to opt-out of receiving some or all interest-based advertising. You can also opt-out of interest-based advertising by clicking on the appropriate icon within an interest-based ad which will take you to tools to help you manage these choices. These technologies are browser and device specific; they must be adopted on each device you use. If you block or clear cookies, these technologies may not work. You will continue to see ads on the Site which reflect how you use the Site and our Services.
If you would prefer not to receive interest-based advertising, you can opt-out of this activity at the DAA website by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (for U.S. residents).
You can choose whether to accept cookies through your browser settings. For example, most browsers allow you to automatically decline cookies or decline or accept a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site when browsing. If you decide not to accept cookies, some features of the Site may not work properly because we may not be able to recognize your device and associate you with your BlueX Trade account(s). In addition, the offers or content we provide when you visit our site or on third party sites may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.
Local Shared Objects, sometimes referred to as flash cookies may be stored on your hard drive using a media player or other software installed on your device. Local Shared Objects are similar to cookies in terms of their operation, but may not be managed in your browser in the same way. Restricting acceptance of Local Shared objects may impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including those used in connection with the Site including animation and video presentations. Similarly, certain authentication features of the BlueX Trade apps may set a persistent token, similar to a cookie, on your mobile device. This token allows that device to be uniquely associated or bound with your account. This token will remain on your device until you un-enroll from those features or delete the app from your device.
C. Do Not Track
Some browsers have a do not track feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser do not track signals.
Keeping the account information on the business entity you represent accurate and up to date is very important. If the account information is incomplete, inaccurate or not current, please use the Contact Us option on our Site, or call or write to us at the telephone numbers or appropriate address for changes listed on the account statements, records, online or other account materials.
The security of your Personal Information is a priority. We seek to protect this information by implementing and maintaining reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural security measures and safeguards designed to protect Personal Information within our organization. We provide employee training in the proper handling of Personal Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have access to with us has been compromised), please immediately contact us in accordance with the Contact Us section below.
A. Notice of Changes
We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. Please take a look at the Last Updated legend at the beginning of this Privacy Notice to see when this Privacy Notice was last revised. When we do, we will post the revised Privacy Notice on this page with a new effective date. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Notice on the Site. Your use of the Sites/Services following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Notice.
B. Third-Party Sites and Services
This Privacy Notice does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, security, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or service to which the Site links. The inclusion of a link on the Site does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates. In addition, we are not responsible for the information collection, usage, disclosure, or security policies or practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, or any other third-party app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, device manufacturer, or wireless service provider, including with respect to any Personal Information you disclose to other organizations through or in connection with the Site/Services.
C. Jurisdictional Issues
The Site is controlled and operated by us from the United States and is not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country, or territory other than those of the United States. Information about you may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and, by using the Site, you consent on behalf of the business entity you represent and yourself to the transfer of information to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Information.
