- How we collect, store, protect people’s data
Blue Ocean Academy collects two types of information from the candidate: i) information that the candidate voluntarily provides to us (e.g., through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups, or emails); and ii) information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms.
We may also collect personally identifiable information when you choose to use certain other features of the Site, which may include: a) Making payment b) Consenting to receive our email newsletter c) Filling out the assessment form d) Commenting on blogs, and others. When you choose to use these additional features, we require you to provide your contact information.
Our consultants gather specific credentials of prospective individuals seeking immigration under various programs. It is important to note that during a profile assessment, we do not collect any card information intentionally. Upon submitting your Immigration Assessment form, you can expect your results to be delivered to the email address you have provided to us within 24 hours from the time of submission. Thereafter, we may send follow-up emails to the same email address regarding your immigration inquiry.
Once we determine the complete eligibility of an individual for a specific program, there may be a payment required for registration. Only after you are thorough with the entire details and agree to proceed ahead with the further processing of your application do we require you to enter into a contract with us through registration. At the time of your registration, you are required to provide us with your card details as per your convenience. It is highly important for each user to understand that we by no means store card details of any nature nor do we share the details with third parties.
- How We Use Your Information
All the information provided during the assessment is used to help ascertain and understand the eligibility for a specific program the applicant is interested in. The contact details are recorded and used to connect with the users as per their convenience. Your personal information will not be disclosed, used, sold, or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties for any purposes other than to our associates and other third parties who need to know in order to provide services to you unless required to do so by law.
We may, however, share non-personal and anonymous information, such as domain name and IP address, the web pages visited, date and time of the page request, the referring website (if any), and other parameters in the URL with trusted third parties.
This is collected in order to better understand our website usage and enhance the performance of services to maintain and operate the Site and certain features on the Site. Also, we may share personally identifiable or other information with our parent, subsidiaries, divisions, and affiliates.
We may disclose contact information in special cases where we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our terms and conditions of use or may be causing injury or interference with our rights, property, our customers, or anyone who could be harmed by such activities.
- How We Protect Your Information
We are committed to protecting the information we receive from you. We take appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information and data stored on our system. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures we have implemented reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved.
