Introduction
Five Blocks takes a proactive approach to user privacy and ensures the necessary steps are taken to protect the privacy of its clients, website users, and services users.
Information Collection and Use
Five Blocks respects the privacy of the users of this Internet site and personal electronic communication. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. The only time we collect personal information is when we specifically ask for it from you. We restrict access to personal information to Five Blocks employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to provide our services. Beyond that, we only share personal information with your consent, for legal requirements, and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights. We never disclose our client and partner relationships with any party without written permission to do so.
We will ensure that all personal information supplied to Five Blocks is held securely, in accordance with GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
You have the right at any time to request a copy of your personal information, be removed from our database, or inform us of any personally identifiable information changes. This can be done by contacting us at services (at) fiveblocks.com (or any of the contact information below).
Five Blocks collects information from our users at several different points on our websites and in our services.
We may collect anonymous information, such as IP addresses and pages viewed, which we use for statistical reporting about the website and applications. We may share non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners — including publishers, advertisers, developers, or rights holders. For example, we share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services.
We also collect information from publicly accessible sources such as Google’s Search Results, Wikipedia, and public profiles. We may also collect information from trusted partners, including marketing partners who provide us with information about potential customers of our business services. We also receive information from advertisers to provide advertising and research services on their behalf.
We use the information we collect from all our services to provide, maintain, improve, and develop new services.
Cookies
Cookies are small files saved to the user’s computer hard drive that track, save and store information about the user’s interactions and usage of the website. This allows the website, through its server, to provide the users with a tailored experience within this website and service. We may use cookies to remember personal settings you have chosen at our website. If you fill out a contact form, we will use cookies to associate website activity with a device linking sessions and visits.
Some of the cookies we set are automatically deleted from your computer when you leave our website or shortly afterward. We also use some persistent cookies on this site. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time.
This website uses Google Analytics and other tracking software (which also use cookies as described above) to monitor its visitors to better understand how they use it.
Users are advised to take the necessary steps within their web browsers security settings if they wish to block or remove the use and saving of cookies.
Links
This website contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by Five Blocks, its websites, and services.
Security
Five Blocks takes every precaution to protect our users’ and clients’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, that information is protected both online and offline.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Changes in this privacy statement
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website. This ensures that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances if any, we disclose it. If at any point, we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will reflect this change in our privacy policy. We reserve the right to modify this statement at any time.
