Privacy Policy
Blue Heron Research Partners (“Blue Heron,” “BHRP,” “us,” “we,” or "our,") understands that your privacy is important to you. We are committed to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal data, which consists of any information that can identify you as an individual person. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle and protect your personal data through your interaction with our website and/or our client portal (“Sites”) in our capacity as data controller.
Blue Heron collects personal data in the course of its business activities. This includes actions that website users can perform, such as creating a user profile, registering for newsletters, signing up for conferences or events, or accessing website content. It also includes the ordinary course of delivering business services. The personal data collected varies and may include information that you provide, such as your name, mailing address, email address, and telephone number.
We receive, collect, and store any information you enter on our website or provide us in any other way. We may also automatically collect information about the devices you use to interact with our Sites. The information we automatically collect may include IP address, device identifier, web browser, and browsing information collected through cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies (collectively, “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies”) on our Sites. We may also automatically collect information about how you use the Sites, such as what you have searched for and viewed on the Sites. The information automatically collected may be associated with a unique identifier as well as with any other personal data you have provided.
Blue Heron and its service providers may use first- and third-party Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies, including web beacons, to manage our Sites and our services and collect analytics about how you use them. Blue Heron and its service providers may collect information about whether you open or click any links in the research or communications that we send to you. The information provided throughout this Privacy Policy about cookies also applies to these other tracking technologies.
Our Sites do not track you by collecting personal data about your online activities over time and across third party websites or online services.
Your personal information will be used only for the specific reasons stated above. Blue Heron does not sell or share any information with any third party for any external use.
Our processing of your personal data for the purposes mentioned above is based:
-
in part, on our legitimate interests in promoting and protecting Blue Heron, building and maintaining relationships and providing our services;
-
in part, on your consent—for example if you have a user login—or for business purposes that support web operations such as understanding and enhancing the quality of your experience on our web-sites;
-
in part, to comply with the law, when certain information is necessary to satisfy our legal or regulatory obligations.
Our company’s website is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to market our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.
Personal data collected in the course of Blue Heron business activities, including on the Sites may be transferred from time to time to Blue Heron subsidiaries and affiliates and their personnel across our global organization, as well as to our third-party service providers located throughout the world. Additionally, the Sites may be viewed and hosted by Blue Heron and our third-party service providers anywhere in the world. By using any of the Sites you voluntarily consent to such trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.
Blue Heron will not intentionally disclose or transfer (and will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized or accidental disclosure of) your personal data to third parties without your consent or as otherwise permitted by law except as follows. Blue Heron may provide access to your personal data to third party service providers engaged by Blue Heron to provide services related to the Sites as well as related to Blue Heron’s business activities. We require that any third-party service providers operate consistently with this Privacy Policy and protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of your personal data.
Blue Heron may provide links to third-party websites or information as a service to our users. If you use these links, you will leave the Sites. Such links do not constitute or imply an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by Blue Heron of the third-party, the third-party website, or the information contained therein, and Blue Heron shall not be responsible or liable for your use thereof. Such use shall be subject to the terms of use and privacy policies applicable to those sites.
Blue Heron retains personal data, as necessary, for the duration of the relevant business relationship. We may also retain personal data for longer than the duration of the business relationship should we need to retain it to protect ourselves against legal claims, use it for analysis or historical record-keeping, or comply with our information management policies and schedules. If you request that we delete your personal data, Blue Heron will make reasonable attempts to delete all instances of the information in their entirety.
If you don’t want us to process your data anymore, please contact us at compliance@blueheronrp.com.
