IntroductionThis is the privacy statement of Blueboard Limited, (âBlueboardâ), a member of the Opera Group (âOperaâ). This statement describes how Blueboard collects and processes certain data about you, the end user (âyouâ, âyourâ, etc.). This privacy statement forms part of a legal contract between Blueboard and you, including also our Terms of Service. Capitalized terms in this privacy statement which are not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Service.
DefinitionsFirst, letâs define some key terms. Many of these definitions are adapted (with changes) from the General Data Protection Regulation (or âGDPRâ), the data privacy law which applies in the European Union. Blueboard uses the GDPR as a guidepost because it applies directly to our European companies and because Blueboard believes it sets the highest legal standard for user privacy. However, in some cases Blueboard has simplified definitions here for the purpose of clarity.
Personal data: âany information relating to an identified or identifiable natural personâ as the GDPR says. This includes data such as your IP address, device IDs, advertising IDs, and location. Below where we describe how we Process personal data, we also list the specific Purpose for doing so, as well as our Legal basis under the GDPR (as those terms are defined below).
Data controller: The person or company that decides whether and how to Process Personal data.
Purpose: the specific reason or reasons we have for Processing Personal data.
Process or processing: collecting or using Personal data. As defined in the GDPR, the word âprocessingâ can mean doing almost anything with Personal data. Below we have used it in this general sense when we have a general meaning in mind, and used more specific terms (like âstoreâ or âshareâ) where appropriate.
Retention / retain: the time period for which we will continue to store data. In general, we do not Process or store Personal data longer than needed and therefore delete it after a certain period of time. Below we have included some more specific details on retention periods, which vary depending on the type of Personal data at issue and the Purpose for which it is Processed.
Opera Group: Our affiliated group of companies, including Opera Norway AS (a Norwegian company) which develops and publishes the Opera browsers, as well as other subsidiaries and affiliated companies around the world. For more information, see below.
