We're Launching Soon

This policy (Privacy Policy) relates to your use of the cloud service marketplace at https://cloud.bluvalt.com (the Marketplace). The Marketplace is made available to you by Arabian Internet and Communications Services Company, a company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whose address is at Aqaria Plaza, 3rd floor, Olaya, P.O Box 50 Riyadh 11372, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, (referred to in this Agreement as 'Bluvalt', 'we', 'us' and 'our').

We take your privacy seriously and want you to feel comfortable whenever you visit the Marketplace or provide us with your personal information. We are committed to responsible information handling practices and have set out our approach to handling your information collected in connection with the Marketplace in our Privacy Policy.

By submitting your information to us you consent to us using your information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept the terms of this Privacy Policy, then you must stop using or accessing the Marketplace.

All capitalised terms used in this Privacy Policy but not defined have the meaning given in the attached Terms of Use.

The Marketplace enables you to purchase, subscribe to and use products and online services provided by Bluvalt and third parties who have different approaches to privacy. Those products and online services may be governed by their own respective privacy policies.

1. 1. How we collect your personal information

      We collect two types of information about you and your Users: (1) personally-identifiable information provided by you directly to us or to Cloud Service Providers as well as information we learn about you from your use of our services and the Marketplace; and (2) information we collect by virtue of web analytics that allows us to understand and optimise the operation of the Marketplace and our services, which cannot be used to identify you (please see the “Cookies” section below).

      We collect personally-identifiable information about you only when you specifically give it to us. We may also collect information relating to the transactions you carry out, including details of any payment cards you use (in truncated form). We do not generally disclose this information to third parties except in the circumstances set out in Clause ‎1.6 below.

      Content which you upload to Cloud Products in the course of their use will be held on our servers or those of our delivery partners. However, we will not access or actively process the content you host on Bluvalt or in the Cloud Products you subscribe to via the Marketplace.

   2. Sharing your personal information with Cloud Service Providers

      Where you subscribe to Independent Cloud Products we will be required to share personal information with the relevant Cloud Service Provider so they can fulfil your request. We will require the Cloud Service Provider to take steps to ensure that your information is kept secure and used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. However, we shall not be liable for any unauthorised use of your personal information by a Cloud Service Provider.

      This Privacy Policy only applies to personal information collected on the Marketplace or via Bluvalt Cloud Products made available on the Marketplace (unless we advise in writing otherwise). Although the Marketplace may provide links to websites of third parties, such as Cloud Service Providers, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any other website that you connect to from the Marketplace. We are not responsible for the content or practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked to or from the Marketplace.

   3. Marketing communications

      We may send marketing information to you in relation to promotions that we run from time to time or service offerings we consider may be of interest to you. You can ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by checking certain boxes on the forms used to collect your information or by contacting us at info@bluvalt.com.

      Cloud Service Providers will not be permitted to market to you directly in connection with other services they offer. In the event that you receive any such marketing communication that you have not specifically requested you should let us know immediately using the email address immediately above.

   4. Protecting your personal information

      The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. We will do our best to protect your personal information while it is in our possession, however, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted online or over the Marketplace.

      We recognise industry standards and employ security safeguards to protect personally identifiable information from unauthorised access and misuse. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers. However, it remains your responsibility to ensure that the information you upload and process through the Marketplace or in any Cloud Products satisfies all legal requirements to which you are subject under the Applicable Laws, including those related to information security, data protection and the associated safeguards.

      You should select those Cloud Products which offer the level of security which best matches your specific needs, duties, obligations and security requirements.
