Privacy Policy

1. Scope of This Policy

BlueTape Xchange Inc. ("BTX," "we," "us," or "our") operates this website and a catalog of affiliated brand sites (collectively, the "Sites"). This Privacy Policy applies to all Sites operated by BTX, including any brand sites now existing or added in the future, without requiring a separate policy update for each new brand.

Canonical policy location. This Policy is hosted at a single canonical URL on the BTX domain and is incorporated by reference by each affiliated brand site. Brand sites do not host separate copies of this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

"Personal Information" means information that identifies you or relates to an identifiable individual. Depending on how you interact with the Sites, we may collect:

• Full name
• Mailing or billing address
• Email address
• Phone number
• Job title or company name
• Transaction details, where transactional features are available

We collect this information directly from you when you: register for an account; submit an inquiry or contact form; sign up for a newsletter; or use transactional features available on certain portions of the Sites. We may also receive information from publicly available databases or third-party sources where permitted by law.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your Personal Information to:

• Operate and improve the Sites
• Create and manage your account, where applicable
• Process transactions and send related confirmations, where transactional features are available
• Respond to your inquiries, questions, and requests
• Send administrative communications (e.g., service updates, security notices)
• Send marketing and promotional communications (where you have opted in)
• Analyze usage trends and measure the effectiveness of our content
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We may anonymize or aggregate Personal Information so that it no longer identifies any individual, and may use such data for any purpose.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your Personal Information to third parties.

We may share your Personal Information with:

• Service providers: Third parties that perform services on our behalf, including payment processing, email delivery, analytics, customer support, and hosting. These parties are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and only as directed.
• Payment processors: Payment card and transaction data is processed exclusively by third-party payment processors. BTX does not store, transmit, or have access to full payment card numbers or sensitive authentication data. Please review your payment processor's privacy policy for details.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• Legal requirements: Where required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Protection of rights: When necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of BTX, our users, or the public.

5. Automatically Collected Information

When you use the Sites, we and our third-party partners may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and access timestamps. This information helps us operate and improve the Sites.

Cookies & Similar Technologies. We use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to personalize your experience, remember preferences, and gather analytics data. Most browsers accept cookies by default; you can adjust your settings to decline them. Note that disabling cookies may affect functionality on certain portions of the Sites.

We do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.

6. Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and our applicable legal obligations. When your information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it.

7. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 12.

8. Children

The Sites are not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.

9. Email Communications

We may send you emails related to your account, transactions, or the Sites. With your consent, we may also send promotional or marketing emails. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in the email footer. Even after opting out of marketing emails, you may still receive transactional or administrative messages necessary to your use of the Sites.

10. Third-Party Services

The Sites may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we may notify you by email or through a prominent notice on the Sites. Your continued use of the Sites after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. Because brand sites link to this canonical Policy rather than hosting their own copies, any updates apply automatically across all Sites.
