Effective June 9, 2017

This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices of OpCenter, Inc. (“OpCenter,” “we,” “our” or “us”), which owns and operates various sites on the World Wide Web, including without limitation OpCenter.com, (collectively, the “OpCenter Websites”). Your access to and use of the OpCenter Websites and all the services provided via the OpCenter Websites (collectively, the “OpCenter Services”) and its brand extensions including but not limited to OpCenter Send, OpCenter Share, and OpCenter Build are subject to OpCenter’s Terms of Use and all applicable laws.

This privacy policy describes how OpCenter collects, uses, and shares information about you that it obtains in connection with providing OpCenter Services to you.

We value your comments about our privacy statement and invite you to e-mail us with inquiries, suggestions and complaints at: support@opcenter.com

What information is collected

In order to enhance your user experience and improve the OpCenter Services, OpCenter collects information about you from two sources: (i) information you affirmatively give to us; and (ii) information automatically collected when you visit any of the OpCenter Websites or use any OpCenter Services. Third parties may also collect your information in connection with your use of OpCenter Services.

Information you give us

When you sign up for OpCenter Services, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself such as your name, email address, billing address, and company name or affiliation.

After you provide such information and set up your account, we may ask you to provide additional information about yourself on an optional basis. We may ask you for certain financial information, including credit card account data or other payment method data, to process payments for some of our services. OpCenter may collect any communication it has with you via any means, including e-mail, telephone, and letters.

By choosing to provide any information to us, you are giving OpCenter permission to use and store such information consistent with this privacy policy.

Information we collect automatically

In addition, OpCenter automatically collects information about your interactions with the OpCenter Websites and OpCenter Services. For example, OpCenter may log information from your computer and browser, such as your IP address, profile information, aggregate user data, browser type, software and hardware attributes, pages you request, and cookie information. By using the OpCenter Services, you are giving OpCenter permission to use and store such information consistent with this privacy policy.

Cookies

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.

Information collected by third parties

OpCenter may use services that collect data remotely by using “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar technologies. Such technologies can recognize certain types of information on your web browser, check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email message, and determine, among other things, the time and date on which you viewed them and the IP address of the computer from which you viewed them.

OpCenter Services may be linked to or provided through third party websites. OpCenter is not responsible for the privacy policies and/or practices on such third party websites. When linking or accessing such websites, you should carefully review the privacy policy of such third party to determine how it handles information it separately collects from you.

How information is used

OpCenter uses the information it collects from you to deliver OpCenter Services to you and continuously enhance your user experience. Generally speaking, we use the collected information to communicate with you, fulfill your requests, customize the content, improve our products and services, protect our and your rights, and comply with laws and regulations.

We may use your personal information to send you promotional information and updates regarding OpCenter and its products and services. You may choose not to receive such information and opt-out of such future communications by sending an e-mail to support@opcenter.com.  

The information that we collect from you may be used in aggregate form in various ways to optimize and improve OpCenter Services. While such information may be based on information about you, it will not identify you personally. We may use such information for the following purposes: website management, administration and security, promotional activities, and research and analysis.

With whom information is shared

Public Information

OpCenter may share as it sees fit information that you voluntarily make public, including information that you post on any blogs, message boards, chat rooms or other similar public forums, whether or not such forums are owned by OpCenter. Since such public information can be accessed by the public and used by any member of the public, such use by third parties is beyond the control of OpCenter.

Personal Information

OpCenter may disclose your personal information without asking for your consent in order to protect the legal rights of OpCenter or its affiliates, and each of their respective investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers; to protect the safety and security of users of the OpCenter Services or to enforce our Terms of Use; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with or respond to the law or legal process or a request for cooperation by a government entity, whether or not legally required. If you notify us that you believe your legal rights have been violated by OpCenter or another user of the OpCenter Services, we may provide the information that you provide to us to others to the extent that we believe it is necessary to evaluate and respond to your complaint. For instance, if you submit a notice of copyright infringement to us, we may send a copy to the person or entity who uploaded, stored, or transmitted the material addressed by the communication.

Also, in order to provide goods or services that you have requested or to complete a transaction at your request, OpCenter may share your personal information with its third party service providers, including companies that assist with payment processing, business analytics, data processing, account management, and other services. We require these companies to agree that they will only use personal information about you that they have obtained from us to provide us with specific services that we have requested and not for any other purpose.

Non-Personal Information and Aggregate Data

OpCenter may share with third parties your non-personal information and related aggregated data. For example, OpCenter may share IP addresses of its users to provide anonymous aggregated data to business partners about the volume of use on the OpCenter Services and the specific OpCenter Services in which users are most interested. Because this form of data does not identify particular users, these third parties will not be able to contact you based solely on this data.

Change of Control

If OpCenter sells all or part of its business, or makes a sale or transfer of assets, or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, OpCenter may transfer your personal information and non-personal information to one or more third parties as part of such transaction.

How you can control the information we collect, use and share

You have the choice about whether to disclose your personal information or other information about yourself to OpCenter. Regardless of your choices with respect to promotional communications and updates regarding content, OpCenter may send you administrative messages, service announcements, terms and conditions of your account, or other similar communications, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.

You may delete your OpCenter account, in accordance with our Terms of Use. Please note that, if you cancel your account, OpCenter may retain some information about you but will discontinue posting such information on the OpCenter Websites.

How information is protected

Your OpCenter accounts may be secured by member-created passwords, in which case reasonable precautions are taken to ensure that your account information is kept private. You are responsible for keeping your passwords confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. OpCenter uses reasonable measures to protect your information stored within our databases, and we restrict access to such information to those employees who need access to perform their job functions, such as our customer service personnel and technical staff. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Despite these efforts, please note that we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of your information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of your information at any time.

Users from outside the United States

OpCenter and its OpCenter Services are based in the U.S., and our offices are headquartered in the U.S. Please be aware that information you provide to us or we obtain as a result of your use of the OpCenter Services may be processed and transferred to the U.S. and be subject to U.S. law. This information may also be processed by staff working for us or for one of our suppliers in the U.S. The privacy and data protection laws in the U.S. may not be equivalent to such laws in your country of residence. By using our website, participating in any of the OpCenter Services, or by providing us with your information, you consent to this collection, transfer, storage, and processing of information to and in the U.S. OpCenter will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely in accordance with this privacy policy.
