Fil Blue sarl Privacy Policy
These terms and privacy policy govern your use of the Fil Blue services, as amended from time to time by Fil Blue sarl, 6 rue Jacque Santer, L-6139 Junglinster, LUXEMBOURG, and constitutes a binding agreement between Fil Blue and yourself.
Fil Blue provides you with a number of services, basically described as a system to file your personal information and eventually share it with your contacts and/or within your organization. You can use Fil Blue's services to track events, tasks, to-do lists, expenses, revenues, contacts, etc ... You can invite anyone else to use the system to share ideas, projects, tasks and any other kind of work (in) progress. Fil Blue manages a number of ''worlds'' on behalf of the user. The first ''world'' being his personal world. Within such ''world'' the Fil Bluer will manage his personal Network (Contacts), his personal Calendar, his personal Expenses, his personal Projects, etc... Additional ''worlds'' can be created, embodying structured groups of people (normally this refers to Corporations, but ''worlds'' could also refer to sport teams, hobby groups, non-profit organizations, etc...). A Fil Blue user (a ''Fil Bluer'' as we are happy to refer to him, as he becomes part of a very special community) can switch from a world to another one any time, in an eye blink, with no loss of time or interruption in the work flow (or even better, in the ''think flow''). Inputs that a Fil Bluer performs while he is ''acting'' within a specific world, populate the database of such specific world. This means that when Fil Bluer A populates a project report in the world ''Company Alpha'', such report will be only shared with Fil Bluers who have access to the ''Company Alpha'' world and not to any other world that Fil Bluer A might be part of. When you create content through Fil Blue's services, you retain all your rights in such content, and you may be allowed (to the extent the system enables you to) to change its availability to other users, i.e. make it available only to your organization, selected people in it, or other definitions. Fil Blue is meant to be used for sharing knowledge within your network (be it a personal network or a network belonging to one or more organizations). Fil Blue allows the super-users of your organization to moderate this, add users, and track the use of the system internally. Fil Blue operates its services with the current industry state of the art and best efforts, and takes all measures to make sure your information is protected. However, because of the nature of Fil Blue's services, which combine public and private information that is conveyed over the public internet, Fil Blue shall not be liable for any damage caused as a result of your use of the services, their unavailability, any error or faults in the services. To the extent permitted at law, Fil Blue does not accept nor bear any responsibility for any statement in Fil Blue Content. Nothing in Fil Blue Content is provided for any specific purpose or at the request of any particular person. Fil Blue will not be liable for any loss caused as a result of your doing, or not doing, anything as a result of viewing, reading or listening to Fil Blue Content or any part of it.
