Blue Ox Tavern App Privacy Policy

October 11, 2022

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Blue Ox Tavern ("Blue Ox Tavern", "we", "us", "our"), we have a few fundamental principles:

We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can't stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop or operate our products or services, or protect our rights.
We don't store personal information on our servers or the offsite servers of the third-party service providers we use to provide our core services unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
In our social networking and mobile application products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what is visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") which incorporates these goals:

Blue Ox Tavern operates a mobile application (the "Application"). It is our policy to respect the privacy of the Application's users ("you", "your") regarding any information collected through the Application.

Non-Personally-Identifying Information, Analytics and Installed Applications usage

Blue Ox Tavern collects, or may have a third-party service providers collect, and analyzes, non-personally-identifying information of the sort that mobile applications typically make available, such as the type of device using the Application, the operating system, location information, and aggregated user statistics. For instance, Blue Ox Tavern may monitor the most popular features of the Application. Blue Ox Tavern purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how users utilize the Application. From time to time, Blue Ox Tavern may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing or disclosing to third parties a report on trends in the usage of the Application or of mobile applications including the Application.

Personally-Identifying Information

Certain users of the Application choose to interact with Blue Ox Tavern in ways that require Blue Ox Tavern to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Blue Ox Tavern gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask users who log in through the Application to provide a username and an email address, and sometimes a telephone number for verification purposes. Those who engage in transactions with Blue Ox Tavern are asked to provide additional personally-identifying information, including, as necessary, their first and last name, physical address, telephone number, and additional data such as financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Blue Ox Tavern collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the user interaction with Blue Ox Tavern. Blue Ox Tavern does not share personally-identifying information other than as described below. Users can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Application-related activities.

Sharing of Personally-Identifying Information

Blue Ox Tavern shares personally-identifying information only with those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Blue Ox Tavern behalf or to provide services available through the Application, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. For instance, Blue Ox Tavern uses third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, data storage, and related technology required to run the services available through the Application. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country. Blue Ox Tavern will not rent or sell personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Blue Ox Tavern discloses personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Blue Ox Tavern believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Blue Ox Tavern, third parties or the public at large.

Use of Email Addresses, Telephone Numbers, and Push Notifications

If you have supplied your email address or telephone number as part of your use of the Application, Blue Ox Tavern may, subject to the applicable law, occasionally send you an email or SMS to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what is going on with Blue Ox Tavern and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of communication to a minimum.

With your consent, Blue Ox Tavern may also send push notifications or alerts to the device you use to access the Application. Such notifications can reach you even when you are not logged in to the Application or the Application is not running on your device. Blue Ox Tavern uses push notifications to send you messages related to the services provided through the Application or to make available to you general information regarding Blue Ox Tavern and its products. You can deactivate push notifications in the settings of the Application or of your device at any time.

Protection of Information

Blue Ox Tavern takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect your personally identifiable information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, loss, or destruction.

Deletion of Personally-Identifying Information

Blue Ox Tavern allows you to control your personally identifiable information, and user account information, and provides for methods of deletion within the application.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a web server stores on a user's computer or other device, and that the user's device provides back to the web server each time the user returns. Blue Ox Tavern uses cookies as part of the Application to remember your user preferences and make available to you the services provided through the Application.

Do-Not-Track Disclosures

Neither Blue Ox Tavern nor any third party engages in the collection of personally-identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services when you are accessing or using the Application. For this reason, the Application does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals or other mechanisms providing you the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of such information.
