We also may be required to share information when implementing the stipulations of our user agreement or when it is required to protect the rights, property or safety of Blum Online, our users or third parties.

In order to optimise customer service, the user behaviour of non-registered users may be analysed within the web site so that the user can be provided with optimised content through the improvement of browser functions.
