Blue Mantis Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED: [AUG 29, 2024] 

Blue Mantis, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“Blue Mantis,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy.  This Privacy Statement applies to our websites and services, including www.bluemantis.com, and all related websites, web-based services, and mobile apps (the “Sites and Services”). 

This Privacy Statement explains what Personal Data we collect from visitors to the Sites, how we use and disclose that information, and the rights and choices you have in connection with that information, including how you can limit certain uses and disclosures of your information.  When we refer to “Personal Data,” we mean information about an identified individual or about an individual whom we could identify.  Subject to applicable law, Personal Data generally does not include publicly available information or anonymized or de-identified data.

This Privacy Statement does not apply to third-party websites, products or services, even if they link to the Sites and Services.  We recommend you review the privacy practices of those third parties before connecting or accessing third party websites and disclosing any Personal Data.  See the section titled Links to Other Sites for more information.  This Privacy Statement also does not apply to Personal Data we may collect, use, or disclose when we are providing Managed Services Support or Cybersecurity & Risk Advisory Services to our clients, or otherwise acting on behalf of our clients.  We do not determine the purpose or means of processing that Personal Data.  Instead, you should refer to the privacy statement of the client to which we are providing those services to understand how that client (and us as its vendor) may collect, use, or disclose your Personal Data in that context.

Similarly, this Privacy Statement does not apply to our careers page hosted by Pinpoint or to Personal Data we collect or use about job applicants or employees, except for California residents.  We collect, use, and disclose Personal Data about job applicants or employees for different reasons than other Personal Data we may collect, use, or disclose.  For information about how we collect, use, or disclose Personal Data about job applicants or employees who are California residents, please see the Additional Information for Job Applicants and Employees About the CCPA section.  For information about how we collect, use, or disclose Personal Data about job applicants or employees who are located in other countries, please contact us using information in the Contact Us section.

Without prejudice to your rights under applicable laws, this Privacy Statement is not contractual and does not form part of your contract with Blue Mantis or its affiliates or subsidiaries.

Any questions or requests regarding this Privacy Policy should be directed to your dedicated account manager, as assigned by Blue Mantis, or by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section.

1. Types of Personal Data We Collect and Why

We may collect the following categories of Personal Data, for the purposes stated in the chart.

2. How We Collect Information

We may collect Personal Data from the following sources: 

3.Parties To Whom We May Disclose Information

We disclose Personal Data (and may have sold or shared Personal Data for purposes of California law) as shown in the following table.  For more information about California law, see the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) section.

4. Chat-Based Communications

The Sites may include certain functionality permitting you to engage in real-time, direct communications with Blue Mantis representatives using live chat or to interact with automated self-service software through a chatbot.  Blue Mantis uses Chat by Drift.  When you interact with the chatbot on the Sites, all the information you choose to provide to the chatbot may be collected and associated with your name or your IP address and a transcript of your interactions or communications with or through the chatbot may be created and stored.  You should not enter any information into the chatbot that you would not want saved.  When you communicate with Blue Mantis through the chatbot, those communications are saved in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve Blue Mantis’s services.  By interacting with the chatbot, you agree that your interactions with Blue Mantis may be stored or analyzed, including by Drift on Blue Mantis’s behalf.

5. Cookie, Pixel, and Session Replay Policy

a. Usage Info and Cookies

When you access the Sites, our servers automatically collect and record the Internet Protocol (“IP”) address associated with your computer.  We may also collect additional information such as a device ID, browser type and version, the operating system of your device and language, country, the date and time of visits, your IP address, the pages viewed, time spent on the Sites, and the websites visited just before and just after a Site.  This information is used to help us administer the Sites, and it is transmitted automatically by your web browser.  This information may be appended to your profile information to remember your preferences, and diagnose technical problems. 

We may use cookies to collect this information.  Cookies are small data files sent by a website and stored on the computer or device at the request of that site.  Cookies store information related to a user’s browser to enable us to recognize your device on return visits to the Sites and to remember your preferences. 

Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them.  If you want to block the use and saving of cookies from the Sites on to the computer’s hard drive, you should take the necessary steps within your web browser’s settings to block all cookies from the Services and external serving vendors.  Please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, certain parts of our Services may not function correctly.  For information on how to disable cookies, refer to your browser’s documentation.

We may also use web beacons, pixels, or similar collection mechanisms, and in certain circumstances may collect IP addresses, screen resolution and browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, dates and times that our site is accessed, and other categories of data.  

b. Do-Not-Track

The Sites are not designed to support Do-Not-Track functionality.  Do-Not-Track is a preference you can set on your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be “tracked’ by third parties.  The Sites do not respond to Do-Not-Track Signals as it does not track you when you leave a Site.  Our third-party service providers, who provide ad serving, retargeting services and web analytics services to us, may not respond to Do-Not-Track signals.  If an individual comes to a Site directly with a Do-Not-Track signal enabled on their browser, we do not look for the Do-Not-Track signal or respond to it; even if a Site looks for the Do-Not-Track signal, it does not respond to it.

c. Interest-Based Advertising

We do not display advertisements on the Sites but we do participate in interest-based advertising to place advertisements on unaffiliated sites using information you provide us when you interact with the Sites.  Interest-based ads, also known as personalized ads, are ads that are targeted to you based on your web browsing and app usage over time and across websites or apps.  For example, the Sites may use third-party ad servers, retargeting services, and web analytics systems, such as Google, to analyze aggregate web usage statistics and provide us the ability to display advertisements about our services to you when you have left our site.

You have the option to restrict the use of information for interest-based advertising and to opt-out of receiving interest-based ads.  Some of these third parties may use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services to deliver advertising based on your interests and preferences, as inferred from your browsing history.  Some of these ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information that those third-party Providers collect about your visits to this site and elsewhere over time.

To learn more about this type of advertising and how to opt-out of this form of advertising, you may either visit optout.aboutads.info to opt-out of sites and services participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) self-regulatory program, or visit optout.networkadvertising.org to opt-out of this form of advertising by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”).  Note that electing to opt-out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications, although it may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.  This opt-out works through cookies set on a particular browser, so if you delete cookies from a web browser, or use a different browser, you will need to opt out again.

Your choice to opt out on a particular browser or device will apply only to the collection and use of information from that particular browser or device.  Opting out on a particular device will not opt you out of information collection on other devices, nor will it limit cross-device sharing on those other devices.  If you use different browsers on a device or multiple devices, for each browser and device you wish to opt out, please opt out each device and browser separately at optout.aboutad.info and at optout.networkadvertising.org.

Your choice to opt out on a particular browser or device will apply only to the collection and use of information from that particular browser or device.  Opting out on a particular device will not opt you out of information collection on other devices, nor will it limit cross-device sharing on those other devices.  If you use different browsers on a device or multiple devices, for each browser and device you wish to opt out, please opt out each device and browser separately at optout.aboutad.info and at optout.networkadvertising.org.

d. Session Replay

We partner with third parties to capture how you use and interact with the Sites through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay.  Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity.  We use this information as described in the Types of Personal Data We Collect And Why section.  Examples of the third parties we partner with are Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising, and for more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.  We do not use these technologies to collect information that is inconsistent with your intent, and we do not use it to record sensitive information related to credit cards.  We do not provide information gathered to third parties other than our service providers.

6. Aggregated, De-identified, or Anonymized Data

We may create aggregated, de-identified, or anonymous information from Personal Data by removing certain data components (such as your name, email address, or linkable tracking ID) that makes the data identifiable, or through aggregation, obfuscation or other means.  For example, we may use aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information to understand how to improve or enhance the Sites.  Subject to applicable law, our use of such aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized information is not Personal Data or subject to this privacy statement.

7. Your Choices

You have certain choices with respect to your Personal Data.

We may use your contact information to send you email messages regarding updates to the Sites, such as the publication of new Blue Mantis information and content, promotional offers, or to communicate with you about Blue Mantis.  You may opt-out of receiving these emails at any time via the unsubscribe link contained in the email message.

We will communicate with you only according to your preferences provided to us.  We may use your contact information to send you messages regarding updates to the Sites.  You may opt-out of receiving these messages by following the unsubscribe link contained in the message, or by contacting us through the information contained in the Contact Us section.  You may not be able to opt-out of receiving certain messages from us, such as transactional communications or legal notices.

7. Localization of Data Storage and Processing

a. Location of Our Operations

We are a global organization.  Our Sites and Services are provided primarily in the United States, with supporting offices in Canada and India.  If you are located outside of the United States, any information you provide to us will be transferred to, processed, and/or maintained in the United States.  If you are located outside of the United States, the transfer of Personal Data may be necessary to provide you with the requested information and services and/or to perform any requested transaction.

b. Data Transfers

The provision of these services may involve the processing of Personal Data by companies located in countries outside the European Economic Area (international data transfers).  However, it will only be done with countries that offer an adequate level of protection or have made available to us Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) in accordance with the decision of the European Commission to Data transfers from controllers in the EU to processors established outside the EU.

Specifically, information we collect from you might be processed in the United States, and by using these services you acknowledge and consent to the processing of your data in the United States.

9. Links to Other Sites

Our Sites may include social network sharing widgets that may provide information to their associated social networks or third-parties about your interactions with our web pages that you visit, even if you do not click on or otherwise interact with the plug-in or widget.  Information is transmitted from your browser and may include an identifier assigned by the social network or third party, information about your browser type, operating system, device type, IP address, and the URL of the web page where the widget appears.  If you use social networking tools or visit social networking sites, we encourage you to read their privacy disclosures to learn what information they collect, use, and disclose.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Sites and the services offered are not directed to or intended for use by children under 13 years of age.  We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13, or knowingly allow such persons to register for our services, without parental consent.  No one under age 13 may provide any Personal Data to us or on the Sites.  If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Sites or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address.  If we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from an individual under age 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete the data as permitted by law.  If you believe that we might have any information from or about an individual under age 13, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section.

11. Additional Information For Individuals In California

a. California’s “Shine The Light” Law

Under California’s “Shine The Light” law (California Civil Code § 1798.83), California residents are entitled to request, once a year and free of charge, certain information regarding what types of their Personal Data may be disclosed to third parties and, in some cases, affiliates, for those third parties’ and affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes.  Under this law, a business is to either provide California customers certain information upon request or permit California customers to opt-out of this type of disclosure.  You may request this information by contacting us using the information in the Contact Us section and indicate in the email subject line, “California Shine The Light Request.”  Please include your mailing address, state of residence, and email address with your request.

b. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives California residents enhanced rights with respect to their Personal Data that is collected by businesses.

First, California residents may opt-out of having their Personal Data sold to or shared with other persons or parties.

Second, California residents have a right to know:

What specific pieces of information a business has about the resident;

Categories of Personal Data it has collected about the resident;

Categories of sources from which the Personal Data is collected;

Categories of Personal Data that the business sold, shared, or disclosed for a business purpose about the resident;

Categories of third parties to whom the Personal Data was sold, shared, or disclosed for a business purpose; and

The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling, or sharing Personal Data.

Third, California residents can request that the Personal Data a business has collected from them be deleted from the business’s systems and records, subject to certain exceptions.

Fourth, California residents can request that inaccurate Personal Data a business maintains about them be corrected.

Fifth, California residents can request to limit use and disclosure of their sensitive Personal Data.  Blue Mantis does not process sensitive Personal Data of California residents, except as described in the Additional Information for Job Applicants and Employees About the CCPA section.

Blue Mantis is covered under the CCPA as we collect and process the Personal Data of California residents.  This privacy statement provides the required notices to California residents.  The CCPA also prohibits covered businesses from providing discriminatory treatment to California residents if they exercise their rights under the Act.

The CCPA defines “sale” to include data transfers for monetary or other valuable consideration.  We do not sell personal information about visitors to the Sites for money; however, based on the CCPA’s broader definitions of “sell” and “share,” we may “sell” or “share” your personal information as the CCPA defines those terms.  As stated above in the data collection sections, we collect and transmit your data to third-party service providers in order to deliver services to you.  The CCPA requires us to state that we do not have actual knowledge that we have sold or shared the Personal Data of California residents under 16 years of age.

To make a “do not sell or share” request, “request to know,” “request to delete,” or “request to correct” your Personal Data, please contact us by mail or email using the information in the Contact Us section.  (Please put “California Do Not Sell or Share,” “California Request to Know,” “California Request to Delete,” or “California Request to Correct” in the subject heading of your email.) 

We will confirm receipt of your request to know, delete, or correct within 10 days along with a description of what steps we will take to verify and respond.  We must provide the requested information or delete your Personal Data within 45 days of receipt of your request but can use an additional 45 days, but we will let you know if additional time is needed.

When contacting us, we may ask you to provide certain, limited Personal Data, such as your name, e-mail address and/or username to verify your request and to match with our records and systems.  We will not retain this Personal Data or use it for any other purpose.  To inquire about exercising these rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section.

c. Additional Information for Job Applicants and Employees About the CCPA

This subsection contains information about how we may collect, use, and disclose the Personal Data about California residents related to any job application or employment with us.  This subsection does not contain information about how we may collect, use, and disclose Personal Data about California residents not related to any job application or employment with us, which is described in the remainder of this Policy.  This subsection does not apply to non-California residents.

For example, if you are a California resident and apply for a job with us through the Careers page on our Website, the Policy outside of this subsection explains how we may collect, use, or disclose the Personal Data we collect or generate about you as you browse or navigate our website.  This subsection explains how we may collect, use, or disclose the Personal Data you submit by clicking “Submit Application” on our Website to apply for a job.

In the proceeding 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of information about job applicants and employees who are California residents:

We may have collected Personal Data about job applicants or employees from the following sources:

We disclose Personal Data of job applicants and employees as follows, and we may have done so in the past 12 months:

The CCPA requires us to state that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information about job applicants or employees for purposes other than to perform the services reasonably expected by an average job applicant or employee who applies for a job or is employed by us; to prevent, detect, and investigate security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, or confidentiality of stored or transmitted Personal Data; to resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at us and to prosecute those reasonable for those actions; or to collect or process sensitive personal information where such collection or processing is for the purpose of inferring characteristics about a job applicant.  We do not sell or share the Personal Data related to and collected through any job application or employment with us described in this section, and we have not done so in the past 12 months.  For more information about how we sell Personal Data of California residents, see the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) section.  The CCPA requires us to state that we do not have actual knowledge that we have sold or shared Personal Data of job applicants or employees under 16 years of age.  We do not have employees under 18 years of age.

12. Additional Information For Individuals In Colorado

We may be subject to the Colorado Privacy Act based on our interactions with Colorado residents and our use of their Personal Data.  The Colorado Privacy Act provides Colorado residents enhanced rights with respect to their Personal Data when acting in an individual or household context.  If you are using products and services in the context of your employment, this law may not apply to you.  It does not apply to Colorado residents who are acting in commercial or employment contexts, as job applicants, or as beneficiaries of someone acting in an employment context.

In this section, “CPA Personal Data” refers to Personal Data that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable Colorado resident.  CPA Personal Data does not include de-identified or publicly available information, as defined in the Colorado Privacy Act.

First, a Colorado resident may opt out of processing their CPA Personal Data for purposes of targeted advertising, the sale of their CPA Personal Data, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning that Colorado resident. 

Second, a Colorado resident has the right to confirm whether we are processing CPA Personal Data concerning them and to access their CPA Personal Data. As part of a request for access, the Colorado resident may also request to receive their CPA Personal Data in a portable and, if technically feasible, readily usable format.

Third, a Colorado resident may have the right to correct inaccuracies in their CPA Personal Data we hold.

Fourth, a Colorado resident may have the right to request we delete CPA Personal Data concerning them.

You may submit multiple requests at once through our webform or in an email.  Subject to certain exceptions, ordinarily there is no cost for submitting your first request; if you submit multiple requests in a twelve-month period, we may charge you a fee for answering your request. We are permitted to use commercially reasonable efforts to authenticate you are who you say you are, and if you are submitting the requesting on behalf of another, that you have the authority to do so.  So, we may need to ask you for more information, in light of the rights exercised, the type, sensitivity, value, or volume of Personal Data, the level of possible harm if we improperly grant the request, and the cost to us. If we cannot authenticate you or your authority, we will deny the request.

If you submit a request, we will tell you what the result is of your request (including, if you submit a Right to Access, your CPA Personal Data) without undue delay and within 45 days after we receive your request.  We may extend that deadline by 45 days, to 90 days in total, in some cases.  If we extend the deadline, we will tell you that and why.

The Colorado Privacy Act includes exceptions for Personal Data regulated under other laws or maintained for certain reasons or in certain contexts.  For example, the Colorado Privacy Act does not apply to publicly available information, including information that we reasonably believe Colorado residents have lawfully made available to the general public.  As another example, we will not delete CPA Personal Data when it is necessary to maintain it to comply with a legal obligation.

If we don’t grant your request, we will tell you why we did not.  You may appeal our decision by emailing us using the information in the Contact Us section with the subject line “Appeal of Request” and including our response to your request.  We will also include this information in our response to your request.  If you appeal our decision, we have 45 days to respond.  We may also extend our deadline by 45 days, to 90 days in total, in some cases.  If we extend the deadline, we will tell you that and why.  If you have concerns about the results of your appeal, you may contact the Colorado attorney general.

In this section, “CTDPA Personal Data” refers to Personal Data that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable Connecticut resident.  CTDPA Personal Data does not include de-identified or publicly available information, as defined in the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, or to information processed or maintained in the course of acting as an agent or independent contractor of us or another company, to the extent that the data is collected and used within the context of that role.
