Bluugo is committed to protecting your Personal Data.

This includes, for example, firewalls, strong password protection and other access and authentication controls. We utilize SSL technology to encrypt all data transfers and we also have application-layer security features to further protect all Client and Personal Data.
However, transfers of information over the internet and mobile networks can never occur without any risk, so all transfers are made on the own risk of the person transferring the data. It is important that Users also take responsibility to ensure that their data is protected. It is the responsibility of the User that their login information is kept secret.

We retain Personal Data where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service according the Agreement or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).
After the expiry of the Agreement, we shall return or delete, according to the guidelines of the Client, all the Personal Data of the Client and delete all duplicates, unless applicable legislation requires the retention of Personal Data.

Bluugo is not responsible for the content of the Personal Data that you as a Client store in the Client Data nor is Bluugo responsible for the means which the Client / User collects, discloses, distributes or otherwise processes Client Data.
As a general rule, the processing is conducted in the EU/EEA.
