We may use information for any purpose if the information does not identify you and cannot be combined with other information accessible to us to identify you. We do this to improve or optimize our services and to otherwise protect or further our legitimate interests. This includes serious reasons like fraud prevention and security and also reasons that will help us to improve the Bluemoon experience for users and travellers.
