Ozette Technologies, Inc. (“Ozette,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) to describe our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information about you. This Policy applies to the information we collect about you through our website and other online services on which we post this Policy (collectively, the “Site”) and through other methods, such as when we collect information about you through offline means (such as at a conference) or from other parties, or in the course of administering our services to our customers (collectively with the Site, the “Services”). By providing us with information, accessing, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to our collection, disclosure, and use of information about you as described in this Policy.
This Policy does not apply to information we collect about employees, job applicants, and independent contractors.

We do not control how our customers use or otherwise process information we process on their behalf, and you should consult with the applicable customer to understand how they use information they receive from Ozette.
We may collect information about you on or through our Services. We collect information directly from you, automatically when you access our Services, and from unaffiliated parties.

You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and to accept or refuse certain cookies. However, if you elect not to

c. Information Collected From Other Parties
We may collect information about you or others through our affiliates or through non-affiliated parties. For example, we may collect information about you from LinkedIn if you communicate with us on that platform. We may also collect information about you from others. For example, users may provide us with information about colleagues or other prospective customers. We may combine information that we collect from you through the Services or elsewhere with information that we obtain from other parties and information derived from other products or services we provide.
We may use information about you for various purposes, depending on the types of information we have collected from and about you, including to:
We may aggregate and/or de-identify any information we collect on the Services and elsewhere so that such information can no longer be linked to you or your device. We may use de-identified or aggregated information for any purpose, including without limitation for research, benchmarking, and marketing purposes, and may also disclose such data to any third parties, including marketing partners and the public.
You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by following the directions in those emails. Please note that if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send you administrative emails regarding our products and services, including, for example, notices of updates to our Terms of Service or this Policy.
We may disclose your information with the following categories of recipients:
Affiliates and subsidiaries. We may disclose the information we collect to our subsidiaries or other affiliates.

Business Transactions. We may disclose information to third parties in connection with a transaction, such as a merger, sale of assets or shares, reorganization, financing, change of control or acquisition of all or a portion of our business, including for the purpose of determining whether to proceed or continue with such transaction or business relationship.
Law Enforcement, Regulators, and Other Parties for Legal Reasons. We may disclose information about you to third parties as required by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (b) enforce our Terms of Service or to protect the security or integrity of our Services; and/or (c) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Ozette, its agents and affiliates, our customers, or others.

Ozette is considered the “data controller” of the “personal data” (as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation) we handle under this Policy. In other words, Ozette is responsible for deciding how to collect, use, and disclose personal data, subject to applicable law. The laws of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom require data controllers to tell you about the legal ground that they rely on for using, sharing, or disclosing your personal data. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds are as follows:
Residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom may also have certain rights to their personal data. For example, you may request that we:
Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we may retain certain information for legal compliance and to secure the Services. We may need certain information to provide the Services to you; if you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to use the Services.
In addition to those rights described herein, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. However, we encourage you to contact us first, and we will do our very best to resolve your concern. If you would like information regarding your rights under applicable law or would like to exercise any of them, contact us at support@ozette.com. To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps to verify your identity and requests before granting such requests. If we are unable to verify your identity, we may be unable to respond to your requests.
Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, our Site does not respond to browsers’ “DNT” signals.
We implement a variety of technical and organizational measures to protect your information against accidental or unlawful access, destruction, loss, misuse, change or damage. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any information to us.
We retain the information we collect about you for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes of the collection or for legal obligations as set forth in this Policy. These purposes may include to comply with reporting, legal and accounting obligations.
The Services are not intended for minors under 16. If we discover that an individual under 16 has provided us with information, we will delete the information to the extent required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act or other applicable law.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services, which may have privacy policies that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the activities and practices that take place on those third party websites. We recommend that you review the privacy policies posted on any platform or websites that you may access through our Services.
Information collected from you, including via our Services, will be transferred to the United States where the Services are hosted. You hereby consent to the transfer of information about you to the United States as described in this Policy. Please do not use the Services if you do not agree to the transfer and processing of information about you in the United States, which may not provide the same level of protection for your data as your home country.
We will review and update this Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes in accordance with applicable law. By continuing to use the Services, you acknowledge the applicability of the updated Policy. If you disagree with any changes and do not wish your information to be subject to a revised Policy, you will need to stop accessing or otherwise using the Services.
