Last Update: August 22, 2025
Our updated Privacy is effective on the Last Update date. Until then, the previous version at https://bluedotliving.com/privacy-policy-deprecated/ remain in effect. By continuing to use the Services after the Last Update, you accept this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and share your personal information through our services. Bluedot Corporation is the data controller of the personal information collected through the services (as defined in our Terms of Service (“Terms”). Bluedot Corporation is referred to in this Policy as “Bluedot”, “we”, “our” or “us”.
How we handle your information depends on which services you use, and how you use them. This Policy is grouped into these sections:
information we collect & why we use it;
our disclosures of information to others;
how to control your privacy; and
information about local privacy laws.
We encourage you to read this Policy carefully. If you have questions, please contact us.
This Policy is designed to explain how we process your personal information and how you can exercise control over our processing. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined in this Policy are defined in our Terms. The Terms describe how the Services works in general, and establish a contract between you and us governing your use of the Services.
If you have any questions or feedback about this Policy, contact us at https://bluedotliving.com/contact-us/.
Because the Services change often, this Policy may change over time. Anytime we modify the Policy, we will post a revised version on the Services as noted at Last Update above. If we intend to materially change our collection or use of information, we will notify you before the material changes to this Policy take effect, so you have time to review them. If we have your contact information (such as your email), we’ll try to notify you that way. We may also post a temporary notice on the Services, or notify you by other means to the extent required by law.
Check the Last Update periodically to ensure you’re aware of the current Policy. By using or accessing the Services, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Policy and the Terms.
This Policy applies to you when you use the Services, effective as of the Last Update. However, some collection and use of information falls outside this Policy:

When you use and interact with the Services, software automatically collects Usage Data. To give you more insight, this section summarizes the main types of technologies the Services to generate and collect Usage Data:
Cookies and local storage may be set and accessed on your computer. Upon your first visit to the Services, a cookie or local storage will be sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. “Cookies” and local storage are small files containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer’s browser and stored on your device when you visit a website. Most Web services use cookies to provide useful features for their users.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, if you reject cookies, you will not be able to sign in to the Services or take full advantage of our Services. Additionally, if you clear all cookies on your browser at any point after setting your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent, you will have to again reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.
We also use “pixel tags,” which are small graphic files that allow us and third parties to monitor the use of the Services and collect Usage Data. A pixel tag can collect information such as the IP address of the device that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time (and length of time) the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved the pixel tag; and the identification number of any cookie previously placed by that server on your computer.
Our apps collect information about your installation, use, and updating of our apps as well as information about your device, including your unique mobile device identifier (“UDID”) and other technical identifiers. More specifically, these tracking technologies allow us to collect data about your device and your use of our apps and content you interact with.
These app-based technologies cannot be controlled by browser settings. For example, our apps may include third party SDKs, which is code that sends information about your use to a server, and is in effect the app version of a pixel. These SDKs allow us to track our conversions and communicate with you across devices, bring you advertising both on and off the Services, customize the app to your interests and preferences and link such across platforms and devices, and provide you with additional functionality, such as the ability to connect our Services with your Social Login.
Bluedot has implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Still, no data transmission online is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you provide, and you do so at your own risk. We cannot promise that your information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances. We are not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we may provide.
This section describes how and why we exchange personal information with contractors and third parties. It also describes exchanges made for certain purposes, like advertising, legal reasons and consensual direct marketing. We may also disclose deidentified and/or anonymized data for these purposes.
We also contract with other businesses to provide certain services related to the functionality and features of the Services, including payment processing, email and hosting services, software development, shipping and fulfillment, data management, and administration of contests and other promotions. We refer to them as “contractors.”
Contractors may collect information about you on our behalf, such as Personal Identifiers, Commercial Information, Internet Activity and Device Information, as necessary for them to perform their services. At other times, we disclose information about you to contractors.
Contractors are not permitted to use information about you for any purpose other than performing their services for us. In the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed these types of information to the following types of contractors:
We share information with advertising partners to make the advertising presented to you more relevant to you. We also market the Services to you through ads facilitated by marketing vendors.
For example, we use Google to serve ads on the Services and we may market the Services to you on third party services through Google. Google uses cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with their own data, to show you ads based on your visits to our webpages and to other sites. You can opt out of the use of the Google cookie by visiting the related Google privacy policy.
We try to limit how our third-party advertising technology vendors use information they collect from you. Most providers require us to enter contracts that allow them to optimize their ad services and products. Essentially, they combine any information they may gather about you through our Services with information they receive from their other clients. This helps them target ads to you on behalf of their other clients, not just us.
In the past twelve months, we have shared these categories of personal information with third parties to personalize advertising:
We may periodically ask for your consent to share your contact information to third parties. Whenever we ask your consent for this reason, we will summarize the purpose and scope of the disclosure. For example, we may offer discounts to you if you consent to join our mailing list or participate in a promotion involving direct marketing communications.
In those cases, the Services will display a tickbox near an email-entry field explaining that by submitting your information, you agree to share your email with the content provider.
To be clear, we only exchange information about you with third parties for direct marketing purposes if you opt in, and will only do so until you opt out.
We may share, link or pool user information among our corporate affiliates, but always in accordance with applicable law, applicable agreements and this Policy.
Finally, we may disclose personal information:
We retain your information only as long as we need it for the purposes described under Information we collect & how we use it, except when longer retention is required by our compliance policies and efforts toward applicable legal, tax, accounting and regulatory requirements.
How long we need information for those purposes varies by category, and even within categories. These retention determinations always consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from its unauthorized use or disclosure and whether we can achieve those purposes without using the personal information.
The Services are intended for adult users. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 16, and we do not share or sell information about anyone under 16 without affirmative authorization. If we learn that we have collected information from a person under age 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
As a user of the Services, you have rights and choices about your personal information. We want you to be in control of your information, so we want to remind you of the following options and tools available to you:
If you reside outside the United States, we transfer information about you for processing in the United States. By providing your information to us, you consent to the processing of the information in the United States. The transfer of this information to the United States is necessary for the performance of our contract for use of the Services.
The Services operate from the United States, but this Policy applies worldwide. Our practices generally do not differ based on your location, but your rights and choices depend in part on the law where you live.
If any of these local privacy laws apply to you, that section overrides any contrary descriptions elsewhere in the Policy as they relate to you. If you have questions about your rights under other data privacy laws, please contact us.
To exercise any rights described in this Policy, please contact us or [use our Opt-Out Request Form (when available)]. Your request must:
We verify requests by attempting to match information in the request to information we maintain. We may require you to confirm your identity by authenticating via your account or other access method.

The content of our response will vary with the nature of your request, but will always respond in accordance with any deadlines or requirements specified by the laws that applies to you.
Residents of jurisdictions that provide for an appeal mechanism may appeal a decision we have made regarding their requests by contacting us.

You also have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. You may also have the right to opt out of “sales” of your information and “sharing/processing of your information for targeted advertising.”
Certain information may be exempt from the requests above under applicable law. For example, we need to retain certain information in order to provide our services to you. We also need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request.
If you have any questions about these rights, wish to exercise them, or request an appeal, see Requesting information or contact us.
In addition to the rights described above, consumers residing in California are afforded the right to certain additional information with respect to their personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). If you are a California resident, this section applies to you.
Our collection and use of personal information: We collect the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as your username, the email address you used to sign up, and your phone number if you’ve chosen to provide it); commercial information (a record of what you’ve bought from Bluedot, if anything); financial data (payment information and your history of purchases from Bluedot); internet or other network information (how you interact with the services); location information (because your IP address may indicate your general location); inference data about you (for example, what content you may be interested in); and other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you.
For more information about what we collect and the sources of such collection, please see the “Information we collect & why we use it” section of the Privacy Policy. To the extent we collect or use sensitive personal information as defined by law (such as the CCPA), we do so in accordance with applicable legal requirements, and we do not use or disclose it other than for purposes for which there is not a right to limit under the CCPA.
We retain personal information as described in the “How long we retain your information” section of the Policy.
California’s “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties, as defined under applicable law, for their direct marketing purposes. We only share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes with your consent and, if you have consented, only until you withdraw your consent.
If you have any questions about these rights, wish to exercise them, or request an appeal, see Requesting information or contact us.
