1.4 Visitor Analytics
Our website uses an application called Visitor Analytics is a simple website analytics service which measures the traffic and visitors' general details of the customers' websites. Collecting these statistics, a website can make their visitors' experience better (e.g. which pages they visit and when, where they are approximately located, where does a user land first or if they are coming from a specific referral). We are using cookies (see above) to collect data about visitors' device type and screen size, approximate location, browser, OS, IPs, page visits, bounce rate, conversions and popular content on the website. All this data is pseudonymized and Visitor Analytics will never use the collected data to identify individual users or to match it with additional information on an individual user. Each visitor has control over the cookies placement.
How to control cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish by checking your browser settings on each device - for details, see aboutcookies.org.
For further information, please check Visitor Analytics’ Terms Of Use, Cookie Information and Opt-Out / Do Not Track.

2. What we share with others
2.1. Sharing information with third parties
We may be obliged to pass on or make certain information to authorities. Some data is also transmitted to our Visitor Analytics application provided by our website host, wix.com, as set out in section 1.4. When you permit us to send you newsletters and updates (see section 1.5), the required data will be hosted by an external e-mail marketing service provider. Moreover, we may pass on information to authorities, officials and other third parties if we are required to do so by law, and for legitimate business reasons.
In case we agree with you to your participation in externally provided assessments or third party provided training content (for example, personality preference assessments such as MBTI, FIRO-B), you may be asked to participate in online questionnaires provided by a third party supplier. We will provide you with the details of the provider (and their Privacy Policy) at this time and will also give you details of any information that we are required to share with the third party provider in order to complete your assessment or training requirements. If you have any questions on this, please contact us at contact@bluedahliaconsulting.com .
2.2. Data transfer through the Internet
Data transmitted through an open network such as the Internet or an email service can be accessed openly. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or materials sent through such open networks. When you share personal information through an open network, you should consider the fact that third parties may access this information and collect and use it for their purposes. Even where the sender and the recipient are in the same country, data may be routed through third countries including countries that do not have an adequate level of protection. Please use other means of communication where you consider this appropriate for security concerns.
3. Additional details
3.1. Storage time
We store personal information for as long as reasonably required for its purpose. We may store information longer for legitimate business reasons (for example, personal information may remain in backups for a reasonable period of time), or as legally required.
