We at Blue Cell prioritize your privacy. Adhering to relevant laws and regulations, we are committed to protecting your personal information that we gather through our web application and its related services.
Personal information refers to any data that can identify you as an individual. This encompasses details like your name, address, date of birth, information about your devices, payment information, and even your usage patterns for an app or online service.
Please note that our web app may feature links to external third-party websites and services. These entities have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their privacy statements upon accessing their content, as our Privacy Policy does not extend to your activities on these third-party platforms.
This statement is effective from December 1, 2023 and was last modified on November 26, 2023.
The information we gather is categorized into two types: ‘information you provide’ and ‘information collected automatically’.
When you use our web app, our servers may automatically record standard data sent by your device. This could encompass your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, the type and version of your device, your activities within the app, as well as the time and date of your usage, among other usage-related information.
It’s important to note that although this information might not be personally identifiable on its own, there is a potential for it to be linked with other data, which could lead to personal identification of individuals.
We might request personal information from you in certain situations, such as when you submit content to us or get in touch with us. This information could include any of the following: Your full name, Email address and more.
The term ‘user-generated content’ refers to any materials, including text, images, and/or videos, that our users voluntarily provide for the purpose of being published on our platform or website. All such content is linked to the account or email address from which the materials were submitted.
Please note that any content you provide for publication will become public once it is posted and has undergone any necessary review or vetting process. After publication, it may be available to third parties who are not governed by this privacy policy.
We engage in the collection and utilization of your personal information exclusively for legitimate purposes. Under these circumstances, we ensure that only the personal information which is essential and relevant for the delivery of our services to you is collected.

We are committed to protecting your personal information through commercially viable means to prevent its loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or alteration, both during its collection and processing and while it is stored in our systems.
We strive to provide the highest level of security for your personal data. However, it’s important to recognize that no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely infallible, and absolute data security cannot be guaranteed.
The responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality and strength of your passwords, and thereby the security of your personal information within our service’s scope, rests with you. This includes ensuring that any passwords linked to your personal information and accounts are kept secure and private.
We retain your personal information only for the period necessary, depending on the purpose of use as outlined in this privacy policy. For instance, if you provide personal information for account creation, we will maintain this information for as long as your account is active in our system. Once your personal information is no longer needed for such purposes, we will either delete it or anonymize it, removing all identifying details.
Nonetheless, there may be situations where we are required to keep your personal information to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Additionally, we may retain data for archiving in the public interest, or for scientific, historical research, or statistical purposes.
