We may also obtain information about you from third parties (including from credit rating agencies, referees, guarantors, etc.).

  • Site performance identifiers: these give us information about how our websites or applications are used.
  • Analytic cookies: these are used to gather statistics about our websites and applications. For example, we monitor how many users are on our websites and which sections are most popular.

You are able to clear cookies or digital identifiers from your device and can disable future use of them by changing your security settings on your web browser. However, this may result in our websites not working as they should.

How we deal with instances of suspected fraud

We are committed to detecting and reducing instances of fraud. Our policy is that we will investigate any cases of fraud that we identify or which we have been notified of. As a first-time customer for example, you may receive a telephone call or email requesting more information or evidence to confirm the details that you have supplied to us. In such cases, your delivery may be delayed by up to 24 hours. If any of the information you supply is found to be false, misleading or fraudulent, we may, if we deem it appropriate, report this to the appropriate authorities for them to investigate. We also reserve our rights against you in respect of any instances of suspected fraud.

Sharing your personal information

In the course of our business, we use a range of service providers to help us maximise the quality and efficiency of our services and business operations, this means that individuals and organisations outside of CodeBlue may sometimes have access to personal information held by us and may use this on our behalf. We require our service providers to adhere to strict privacy guidelines and not to keep this information or use it for any unauthorised purpose.

We may share your personal information with the wider CodeBlue and parent company FUJIFILM CSG Limited, including our related body corporates. affiliates and subsidiaries. However, we only give these entities secure access to information they require to perform their functions. They are obligated to maintain the same level of privacy and security of your information as we are.

We may also provide your information to third parties we occasionally partner with. If you purchase a product or service that is delivered by one of our partners, we will give them information they require to provide you with that product or service.

We also work with other third parties to provide some types of sales, business and customer support. They may have access to some of our systems that hold your information. However, they are subject to strict controls that protect your information from unauthorised use or disclosure, and limit their access to your information to the extent necessary to perform their functions.

We do not routinely disclose personal information to any other third parties. We may share non-personal, de-identified and aggregated information for our own research or promotional purposes. Under no circumstances will we sell your details to marketing agencies without your consent. We will not use or disclose any personal information about you without your consent unless:

  • required or authorised by law;
  • it is permitted by this Privacy Policy;
  • we believe this is necessary to provide you with the products or services you have requested;
  • it is necessary to implement our terms of service; or
  • it is necessary to protect the rights, property or personal safety of CodeBlue or a CodeBlue employee, another customer or any member of the public including you.

In special circumstances, for example if we sell our business, your information may be transferred as part of that sale. We will not use your information for purposes unrelated to the services we provide without your consent.

We will also provide access to your information where we are legally permitted or obliged to do so.

Once your information is no longer required for any purpose, we will take all reasonable steps to destroy, delete or permanently de-identify it.
