Bluezone Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 7, 2026

1. Introduction

Bluezone (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides the Bluezone mobile application, a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) lighting-control platform that allows users to pair, configure, and operate lighting devices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use Bluezone (“Service”).

By using Bluezone, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Definitions

• Service: The Bluezone mobile app and any related services.
• Personal Data: Information that identifies or relates to an identifiable individual.
• Usage Data: Technical, diagnostic, and interaction data generated automatically during app use.
• User: Anyone using the Bluezone app.

 

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide

We may collect the following types of information when you choose to provide it:

• Name, email address, or other contact details (typically provided when you reach out for support)
• Information submitted through support requests, feedback forms, or similar communication channels

The Bluezone app does not require account creation for normal operation unless future features introduce optional accounts.

B. Automatically Collected Information

The Bluezone app does not currently transmit automatically collected information from your device to us. Bluetooth-related data used for discovering, pairing, and controlling BLE lighting devices is processed locally on your device.

A future version of the Service may automatically collect:

• Device information (device model, operating system, app version, system language)
• Diagnostic and performance data (crash logs, error details, loading times)
• Interaction data (features used, settings applied, navigation patterns)

If any such collection is introduced, this Privacy Policy will be updated before it takes effect.

Bluezone does not collect or store precise GPS location. However, some mobile operating systems require location permission to allow BLE scanning. Granting this permission does not provide us with location data.

C. Tracking Technologies & Cookies

• If you visit the associated website (if applicable), essential cookies may be used for basic functionality.
• The Bluezone mobile application:
  • Does not use advertising cookies
  • Does not use third-party marketing trackers
  • Does not perform cross-app tracking
• If analytics or diagnostic SDKs are introduced in the future, they will be disclosed here.

D. Information From Other Sources

We do not currently collect personal information from third-party sources.

If a future optional integration or feature requires data from another service, this section will be updated to describe:

• The type of data obtained
• The source of the data
• The purpose for which it is used

 

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described in this Privacy Policy for the following purposes:

A. To Operate and Maintain the Service

• Enable the app to discover, pair with, and control Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) lighting devices
• Ensure that Bluetooth/BLE connectivity functions reliably
• Maintain compatibility across devices and operating systems

B. To Improve and Optimize Performance

• Analyze diagnostic data, crash reports, and usage patterns (if such data is collected in a future version of the Service)
• Identify and resolve technical issues
• Improve the overall stability and responsiveness of the Service

C. To Provide Support and Respond to Inquiries

• Assist with troubleshooting steps
• Respond to questions and technical support requests
• Communicate updates related to support matters

D. For Security, Safety, and Abuse Prevention

• Investigate suspicious or harmful activity

E. To Comply With Legal Obligations

• Maintain records required for compliance
• Respond to lawful requests from regulatory or governmental authorities

F. For Other Purposes With Your Consent

If new optional features or integrations require additional data uses, we will:

• Clearly explain the purpose
• Request your consent before use
• Allow you to withdraw consent at any time

No Advertising or Profiling

We do not use personal information for:

• Behavioral or targeted advertising
• Marketing to third parties
• Automated profiling

 

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the limited circumstances outlined below. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising or marketing purposes.

A. Service Providers

We may share information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as:

• Application development and maintenance
• Cloud hosting or infrastructure (if applicable)

These providers may only access information as needed to perform their functions and are contractually required to protect it.

B. Business Transfers

Your information may be transferred as part of:

• A merger
• Acquisition
• Corporate restructuring
• Sale of assets

Any successor entity will be required to honor the commitments in this Privacy Policy.

C. Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required to do so by law or when we believe such action is necessary to:

• Comply with legal or regulatory obligations
• Respond to a court order, subpoena, or government request
• Protect the rights, safety, and property of users or others
• Prevent fraud, security threats, or other harmful activities

D. With Your Consent

We may share your information for purposes not described in this Policy only when:

• You are informed of the purpose, and
• You provide your explicit consent

You may withdraw consent at any time.

E. No Selling or Advertising Use

We do not:

5. Data Security

We implement a range of technical and organizational measures designed to protect the information we process. These measures are intended to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information.

Security practices may include:

• Encryption of data in transit where appropriate
• Secure communication protocols for interactions involving Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device control
• Access controls that restrict data to authorized personnel only
• Regular review of systems for potential vulnerabilities
• Industry-standard secure development and testing practices

While we strive to use commercially acceptable methods to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we identify a security incident that poses a risk to your information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, mitigate, and notify you as required by applicable laws.

 

6. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

A. Operational and Functional Retention

We keep information needed to:

• Operate and maintain the Service
• Support Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device control
• Provide customer support
• Improve app performance and stability

If certain information is stored locally on your device (such as lighting configurations, control settings, or paired-device information), it remains on your device and is not collected or stored by us.

B. Support and Communication Records

If you contact us for support or submit a request, we may retain:

• Emails
• Troubleshooting logs
• Communications related to your inquiry

These may be kept for reference, quality improvement, or compliance obligations.

C. Legal and Compliance Retention

Certain records may be retained if necessary to:

• Comply with legal obligations
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce agreements
• Maintain security and audit logs

D. Deletion

When retention is no longer necessary, data will be:

• Deleted
• Anonymized
• Securely overwritten

in accordance with applicable laws and industry standards. If specific jurisdictions grant you the right to request deletion, instructions for exercising those rights are provided in Section 7 — Your Rights and Choices.

D. Restriction of Processing

You may request that we limit the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.

E. Objection to Processing

You may object to certain types of processing—however, the Bluezone app does not conduct marketing, profiling, or advertising, so these objections will typically not apply to this Service.

F. Withdrawal of Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

G. Data Portability

You may request your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, where applicable.

H. Marketing Preferences

Bluezone does not send marketing communications, does not use personal information for advertising, and does not engage in promotional outreach through the app.

However, we include these rights because they are legally required in some regions:

• Emails: If you ever receive optional, non-essential communications (such as support follow-ups), you may opt out at any time.
• Push notifications: You may disable app notifications in your device settings. No advertising or marketing messages are sent by the Service.

I. Location, Bluetooth, and Camera Permissions

• Location: Required by mobile operating systems for Bluetooth/BLE scanning. We do not collect, store, or track GPS location data.

J. Cookies and Tracking Controls

• The Bluezone app does not use advertising cookies, analytics trackers, or cross-site tracking technologies.
• If you use an associated website, you may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

K. Nondiscrimination

Exercising your privacy rights will not result in:

• Denial of service
• Reduced functionality
• Differential pricing or penalties

L. Submitting a Request

You may exercise your rights by contacting us using the information provided in Section 13 — Contact Us. We may request information to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

 

8. Third-Party Links

The Service may include links to websites, applications, or services operated by third parties. These external sites are not controlled or monitored by Bluezone, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to their practices.

We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or data-handling practices of third-party websites or services. If you choose to access external links, you do so at your own discretion, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties.

 

9. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect, use, or maintain personal information from children under 13.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without appropriate consent or verification, we will take reasonable steps to:

• Delete the information, and
• Prevent further collection or processing

If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided information to the Service, please contact us using the details provided in Section 13 — Contact Us.

 

10. Data Storage and Processing

All data we collect is stored and processed in the United States.

If you use the Service from Canada, your information will be transferred to, and processed in, the United States, which may have data protection laws that differ from those of your province or territory. Regardless of where processing occurs, we handle your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
