While you can access most areas of our Web site without submitting any personal data, you may choose to give us personal information directly in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us your name and contact information to communicate with you, or to do business with us if you are a supplier or a business partner. It is our policy to use this information for internal purposes only and it will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes. If you request information from Bluefin Associates, however, we may provide such information to our business partners and employees to use to contact you for marketing purposes. If you tell us that you do not want us to use your information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your request, we will respect your wishes.

We may also collect information relating to your use of our Web sites through the use of various technologies.

We may also collect information about the pages you view within our sites and other actions you take while visiting us. In addition, we may also use such technologies to determine whether you’ve opened an e-mail or clicked on a link contained in an e-mail. We only use and analyze this data for aggregate trends and statistics to help us better understand how our site is being used and to make it more effective and to personalize your experience while you are on our Web site, as well as tailor our interactions with you. The Bluefin Associates Web site may provide links to third party sites. We do not review or control these sites and therefore suggest that you review the privacy policies of such sites.
