Your California Privacy Rights
This page explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, who receives it, and the choices you have. If you live in California, it also explains the rights the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you and how to use them. It adds to our Privacy Policy.
In this page, "we" and "us" mean The Blue Line LLC.
The personal information we collect
In the last 12 months we have collected these categories of personal information. The category names are the ones California law uses.
- Identifiers: your name, postal address, email address, phone number, and the IP address of the device you use.
- Personal information described in California Civil Code §1798.80(e): your name, address and phone number, and for paying members the last four digits, type and expiry date of your payment card. We do not store full card numbers. Our payment processor collects those directly.
- Commercial information: your membership, listing orders, payments and refunds.
- Internet or other electronic network activity: your sign-in sessions, the type of browser you use, and how you use our website.
- Geolocation data: an approximate location (US state and city) worked out from your IP address. We do not collect your precise location.
- Professional or employment-related information: job listings you submit, your job title and organization, and contact details an employer gives us for a listing.
- Sensitive personal information: your account sign-in details together with your password. We store your password only in a form that cannot be turned back into the password. We use these details only to let you sign in and to keep your account secure.
We also keep files you upload to us, such as listing attachments.
Where it comes from
- From you, when you create an account, join, pay, submit a listing, sign up for our newsletter or contact us.
- From your browser or device, automatically, when you use our website.
- From employers and organizations, when they name you as a contact on a listing.
- From our payment processor, about the status of your payments.
Why we use it
- To run your account and membership, and to publish and manage listings.
- To take payments and issue refunds.
- To send you messages you asked for, such as account emails and our newsletter.
- To keep our website secure and to prevent fraud and spam.
- To understand how our website is used, so we can improve it.
- To meet our legal obligations.
Who we give it to
We give personal information to companies that provide services to us, so they can do that work for us. In the last 12 months we have given them these categories of personal information:
- Payment processing: Intuit QuickBooks Payments handles card payments, and Intuit QuickBooks keeps our customer and receipt records. They receive identifiers, personal information described in Civil Code §1798.80(e), and commercial information.
- Email delivery: our email service sends account emails, receipts, invoices and newsletters. It receives identifiers (your name and email address), commercial information (what you paid for and how much), and personal information described in Civil Code §1798.80(e) (the type, last four digits and expiry date of your payment card).
- Website analytics: on The Blue Line website, Google Analytics measures how pages are used. It receives identifiers (your IP address) and internet activity.
- Spam and bot protection: hCaptcha checks that forms are filled in by people. It receives identifiers (your IP address) and internet activity.
- Location lookup: IP-address lookup services work out an approximate location. They receive identifiers (your IP address).
- Error monitoring: Sentry records technical details when something on the website goes wrong. It also records how a sample of visits use the website, so we can find and fix problems. It receives identifiers (your IP address) and internet activity.
- Hosting and system logs: our hosting provider stores our website, database and the files you upload, so it holds every category listed above. Grafana Cloud stores our servers' technical logs, which contain identifiers (such as email and IP addresses) and internet activity.
Contact details an employer gives us for a listing (a contact's name, job title, postal address, email address, phone and fax numbers, and website) are published on that listing, so job seekers can get in touch.
<!-- If an ad network is added to this website, rewrite this section first: it will need a "Do Not Sell or Share" link (Civ. Code §1798.135) and support for opt-out preference signals (11 CCR §7025). See #5315. -->We do not sell or share your personal information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising (advertising targeted at you based on what you do on other websites and apps). We have not done either in the last 12 months. We have no actual knowledge of selling or sharing the personal information of anyone under 16.
Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is nothing to opt out of. If your browser sends an opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we have no sale or sharing for it to stop.
We use sensitive personal information only to provide our services and to keep your account secure.
Your rights if you live in California
You can ask us to:
- Tell you what we hold: the categories of personal information we have collected about you, where it came from, why we collected it, and who we gave it to. You can also ask for a copy of the specific information we hold. A request covers the 12 months before we receive it. You can ask us to include earlier information too.
- Correct it: fix personal information about you that is wrong.
- Delete it: delete personal information we collected from you. We may keep some of it where the law allows, for example to complete a payment, to keep our services secure, or to meet a legal obligation. If we keep anything, we will tell you what and why.
We will not treat you differently for using these rights. We will not deny you service, charge you a different price or give you a lower level of service. If you are a job applicant, employee or contractor of ours, we will not retaliate against you for using them.
How to make a request
- Go to the Contact Us page, or call us toll-free at 1-800-BLUELINE (258-3546).
- Tell our support team which request you are making: to know, to get a copy, to correct or to delete. If you have an account, use its email address or give it to us on the phone.
- Our staff will check that the request comes from you and then answer it.
There is no charge for making a request.
We will answer within 45 calendar days of receiving your request. If we need more time, we will tell you within those 45 days why we need it, and we will answer within 90 days of receiving your request.
How we check it is you
Before we act on a request, we check that it comes from the person the information is about:
- If you have an account, we check the request against your account. We may ask you to reply from your account's email address or to sign in again.
- If you do not have an account, we match details you give us with information we already hold. For a copy of specific information, or for sensitive information, we may ask for more details and for a signed statement that you are the person concerned.
We use the details you give us for this check only to verify your request. If we cannot verify a request, we will tell you why we cannot act on it.
Asking someone else to make a request for you
Someone you authorize can make a request for you. We will ask them for proof that you gave them signed permission. We may also ask you to confirm your identity with us directly, or to confirm that you gave them permission.
