Blueberry Studio may, from time to time, employ the services of other parties for dealing with matters that may include, but are not limited to, payment handling, delivery of purchased items, search engine facilities, advertising and marketing, including follow-up messages for products or services until your acquisition is complete.

We comply with all applicable privacy laws. To the extent that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016.679 of 27 April 2016 (“GDPR”), applies to the data you provide to us pursuant to this Policy, we will comply with the provisions of the GDPR.

When you visit our Website, our Website automatically records certain information, such as the IP address, date and time of the visit or the referral website that sent you to our Website, which we will store for a limited period of time. We also use other external services of traffic analysis, such as Google Analytics.

The providers of such third-party services do not have access to certain personal Data provided by Users of this Website.

Any Data used by such parties is used only to the extent required by them to perform the services that Blueberry Studio requests.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website's Terms of Service.
