¡Bienvenido! Se encuentra en un lugar de servicio en línea (p. ej., sitio web o aplicación) que es propiedad y operado por Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association ("BCBSA" o "nosotros" o "nuestro"). Su privacidad es importante para nosotros. BCBSA toma medidas para proteger la privacidad de la información personalmente identificable (“PII”), por sus siglas en inglés) que recopilamos acerca de usted. PII se refiere a la información que nos informa los detalles específicos de quién es usted y que se puede usar para identificarlo, comunicarnos con usted o localizarlo. Por separado, cuando esta Política de privacidad hace referencia a "información sobre su uso del Sitio (definido más adelante)", se refiere a la información recopilada que puede utilizarse para resumir cómo se utiliza el Sitio, incluyendo, sin limitarse a, clics, tiempo de permanencia en cada página u otros datos analíticos sobre el uso del Sitio.
Esta “Política de privacidad” describe lo que usted (“Usuario final” o “usted”) puede esperar cuando nos permite recopilar su PII o información acerca de su uso del Sitio para el sitio web Blue365deals.com (el “Sitio”) y los sitios a los que le damos acceso por medio del Sitio. Además, esta Política de privacidad regula su uso de cualquier lugar de servicio en línea (p. ej., sitio web o aplicación) que publique un enlace a esta Política de privacidad, y también aplica a su uso de características interactivas, widgets, complementos, aplicaciones, contenido, descargas y/u otros servicios (conjuntamente, el "Servicio") que: (i) poseemos y controlamos y ponemos a la disposición mediante un servicio en línea; o (ii) publique un enlace a esta Política de privacidad, sin importar cómo accede o usa el Servicio, ya sea a través de una computadora personal u otro dispositivo o medio electrónico.
En tanto le entreguemos un aviso sobre nuestro Servicio de prácticas y políticas de privacidad distintas o adicionales (p. ej., en el punto de nuestra recopilación), esos términos adicionales deberán regular dicha recopilación y uso de los datos. Al utilizar nuestro Servicio, usted otorga su consentimiento a esta Política de privacidad y a que recopilemos, usemos y compartamos su información y datos, y otras actividades, según se describe a continuación.

La PII que recopilamos sobre usted para este Sitio no está protegida por la Norma de privacidad de la Ley de Portabilidad y Responsabilidad de los Seguros Sanitarios (HIPAA, por sus siglas en inglés) de 1996. Todas las preguntas acerca de la política de privacidad de cualquier compañía local e independiente de Blue Cross y/o Blue Shield (cada una, una “Compañía Blue”) deben ser dirigidas a dicha Compañía Blue. Ni BCBSA ni ninguna compañía independiente local de Blue Cross y/o Blue Shield (cada una, una “Compañía Blue”) nunca usará la PII que recopilamos en este sitio para afectar su cobertura o las primas de su seguro médico.
Su autorización para que su Compañía Blue utilice y divulgue la información y su permiso para que BCBSA utilice y divulgue la información, y cómo revocar dichos permisos, aparecen por separado en la página de registro del Sitio y en los Términos de uso.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we have complete discretion in electing to make or not make such disclosures, and to contest or not contest requests for such disclosures, all without notice to you.
4. Security
BCBSA is committed to taking reasonable measures to protect your privacy against unauthorized disclosures. BCBSA’s third-party web vendor uses a variety of secure techniques designed to protect your information. While safeguards have been implemented, you should be aware that Internet security technology changes rapidly. As such, we cannot guarantee that the safeguards employed today can protect your PII from the threats of tomorrow, or that the Site’s security measures are failsafe and not subject to circumvention or unauthorized intrusion. You should also be aware that, despite our reasonable efforts, factors beyond our control may result in disclosure of data.
5. Third-Party Links
Portions of the services and functionality available on the Site may contain links to other third-party web sites, which you may access. These third-party web sites have their own privacy policies, and you should review those privacy policies before following those links. We cannot control the information disclosed at these third-party web sites or how that information is used.
6. Children’s Privacy
We do not intend that the Site will be accessed or used by minors under the age of eighteen (18), and such use and access is prohibited. We do not knowingly collect or use information from children under the age of eighteen (18) without the consent of a parent or guardian. In the event that we become aware that we have collected personal information from any person under the age of eighteen (18) years, we will dispose of that information in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and other applicable laws and regulations. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under the age of thirteen (13) has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at Webmaster via e-mail at support@Blue365deals.com, and we will take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is deleted from our files.

7. Third Party Analytics Providers and Ad Servers
We may use third-party vendors to perform certain services on behalf of us or the Service, such as hosting the Service, designing and/or operating the Service’s features, tracking the Service’s activities, utilization of sharing technology that allows users to share content on this Site through social media, and analytics. We may provide these vendors with access to user information or they may directly collect your information to carry out the services they are performing for you or for us. Examples of such information may include demographic information that such third-party analytics vendors have already collected or information about how you use the Site. Third-party analytics and other service providers may set and access their own tracking technologies on your device and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you, potentially including personal information, about you. We are not responsible for those third-party technologies or activities arising out of them.
We may also work with certain third parties to provide us with information regarding traffic on the Service to serve advertisements elsewhere online, and to provide us with information regarding the use of our Site or services and the effectiveness of our advertisements. These third parties may automatically collect information about you using their own cookies or other technologies, including clear GIFs, pixel tags, web beacons, or web bugs, or may otherwise collect or have access to, information about your visits to the Site and other websites, your search history, your IP address, your ISP, the browser you use to visit our Site and other usage information. Information collected may be used, among other things, to deliver advertising targeted to your interests and to better understand the usage and visitation of our Site and the other sites tracked by these third parties.

8. Cookies and Similar Technology Policy
A cookie is a small amount of data sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer or mobile device’s hard drive while you are viewing the Site. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Site. This type of information is collected to make the Service more useful to you and to tailor your experience with us to meet your special interests and needs. We use and store this information to provide you with more personalized and customized online services and to make our Site more convenient, useful, valuable and appealing to you. We store cookie information in aggregate form and use the aggregate information to make improvements to the Service or in internal reports on Service activity. You may modify your browser preferences to opt out of allowing cookies to be placed on your computer, however opting out cookies may affect the performance and usability of the Site. Refusing cookies disables our ability to include information about your visit in our regular monitoring of Service traffic.
We use two broad categories of cookies: (1) first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Site; and (2) third party cookies, which are served by service providers on our Site, and can be used by such service providers to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites.
The Service may use the following types of cookies for the purposes set out below:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Site and to enable you to use some of its features. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided, and the Site will not be functional.
Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make when you use the Service, such as remembering your language preferences, remembering your login details and remembering the changes you make on other parts of our Site, which you can customize. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you visit the Service.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies are used to collect information about traffic to our Site and how users use the Service. The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor. The information is aggregated and anonymous. The information gathered may include the number of visitors to the Service, the websites that referred them to our Site, the pages they visited on our Site, what time of day they visited our Site, whether they have visited our Site before, and other similar information.
We use Google Analytics for this purpose. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here and about how Google protects your data here. You can prevent the use of Google Analytics relating to your use of our Site by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here.
Targeted and Advertising Cookies
These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising that is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, third-party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show advertisements that we think will be relevant to your interests while you are on third-party websites.
Social Media Cookies
These cookies are used when you visit any Blue365deals.com page. A social networking website such as Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or LinkedIn can record that you have visited this page and could use this information to serve you relevant ads that are in compliance with platform advertising policies.
If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to accept cookies from our services for any of the purposes described above, then you can typically instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to remove or stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. In order to do this, consult your browser’s technical information (instructions are usually located within the “settings,” “help” “tools” or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. Further information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience or not be able to use all portions of the services or all functionality of the services.
In addition, we may use pixel tags (also referred to as clear GIFs, web beacons, or web bugs) on the Service to track the actions of users on website. Pixel tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are used to track online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixel tags are embedded invisibly in web pages. Pixel tags also allow us to send email messages in a format users can read, and they tell us whether emails have been opened, for example, to ensure that we are sending messages that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to a user.
Some internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to do not track signals. To find out more about "Do Not Track," please visit www.allaboutdnt.com.

Please consult the Site and the Privacy Policy regularly for any changes.
