BluuBin staff and key commercial partners can access non-identifying and aggregated usage information and transaction volumes in order to better understand how our customers are using the Service so we can improve the system design and where appropriate have the system prompt users with suggestions on ways to improve their own use of the system. All aggregated usage information is stored in a secure BluuBin data warehouse facility.

Your Data is sent securely across the internet

This means that Your browser must support the encryption security used in connection with the Service. BluuBin stores your Data in the location BluuBin considers will give You the most efficient access from wherever in the world You may be. Access and storage controls via the Service are however administered by BluuBin in South Africa as the custodian of that Data. Where You access or input Data from somewhere other than the country where the Data is stored or to be stored, You consent to that Data being transferred from one country to the other (including via any intermediate country) as a function of transmission across the internet.

BluuBin will give you access to Your Data at any time
