Privacy Policy
This privacy statement is applicable to OT
Magazine, www.ot-magazine.com, www.ot-network.com and all
associated OT Magazine newsletters.
OT Magazine does not collect personally
identifiable information about individuals except when such
individuals specifically provide such information on a voluntary
basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be
gathered from the registration process for membership, business
conference, information requests, websites or services and in
connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g., chat
and bulletin boards), suggestions, voting/polling activities and
transactional areas. Personally identifiable information on
individual users will not be sold or otherwise transferred to
unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the
time of collection. At such points of collection, the user will
have the opportunity to indicate whether he or she would like to
"opt out" of receiving promotional and/or marketing information
about other products, services and offerings from
OT Magazine, OT
ENTERPRISES, www.ot-network.com, www.ot-magazine.com and/or
any third parties. Further, notwithstanding any opt out of
promotional information by the user, OT
Magazine reserves the right to contact a member regarding
matters relevant to any underlying service and/or the information
collected.
OT Magazine reserves the right to
perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics
in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the
website and to inform advertisers of such information as well as
the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their
advertising banners. OT
Magazine will provide only aggregated data from
these analyses to third parties. Also, users should be aware that
OT Magazine may sometimes permit third
parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services
through a www.ot-network.com website.
OT Magazine is not responsible for any
actions or policies of such third parties and users should check
the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing
personally identifiable information. Additionally, users should be
aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable
information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on the bulletin
boards or in the chat areas of the otonline.com websites, that
information, along with any substantive information disclosed in
the user's communication, can be collected and correlated and used
by third parties and may result in unsolicited messages from other
posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of
OT Magazine. If personably identifiable
user information is provided to a third party, OT
ENTERPRISES and OT Magazine
should require the third party to adhere to similar privacy
principles that provide for keeping such information confidential.
Users also should be aware that non-personal information and data
may be automatically collected through the standard operation of
OT ENTERPRISES and
OT Magazine's Internet
servers or through the use of "cookies." "Cookies" are small text
files a web website can use to recognize repeat users, facilitate
the user's ongoing access to and use of the website and allow a
website to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that
will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies
are not programs that come onto a user's system and damage files.
Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user
that has no meaning outside the assigning website.
Users should be aware that OT
ENTERPRISES and OT
Magazine cannot control the use of cookies or the
resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data
for OT ENTERPRISES and
OT Magazine. If a user does not want
information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple
procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept
the cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be
necessary to provide the user with certain features (e.g.,
customized delivery of information) available on the www.ot-network.com
website.
Upon request, OT ENTERPRISES and
OT Magazine will allow any user to "opt
out" of further promotional contacts at any time. Additionally upon
request, OT ENTERPRISES and
OT Magazine will use
reasonable efforts to allow users to update/correct personal
information previously submitted which the user states is erroneous
to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or
security interests. The foregoing policies are effective as of
March 1, 2010. OT ENTERPRISES and
OT Magazine reserve the
right to change this policy at any time by notifying users of the
existence of a new privacy statement. This statement and the
policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any
contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
OT ENTERPRISES and
OT Magazine are
committed to protecting user privacy.
