  • Aggregated tracking data we collect when users interact with us.

OGC uses personal information you provide voluntarily depending on how you contact us:

  • When you subscribe to our research platform mailing lists , you must provide an email address. We never sell or rent the email address you provide when subscribing to our lists.

  • When you enter a contest or survey, we may ask for your name, address, and email address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.

For example, survey respondents may be requested to provide certain personally identifiable, financial or demographic information, as well as specific opinions about a variety of goods and services. Responses to all survey questions are voluntary. A survey respondent should only provide responses to questions they are comfortable answering and survey respondents may decline to answer any survey question.

Links to Other Sites

Our Websites may contain links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by OGC. Please be aware that OGC is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and statements of other sites to understand their information practices.

Accountability and liability for Data Transfers

Please be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country. Our third party service providers (including Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), FocusVision and others) operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.

We have implemented appropriate safeguards with our third party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request.

OGC may disclose personal data to trusted third parties as indicated in the privacy policy without offering an opportunity to opt out. OGC requires that its agents and service providers that have access to personal data within the scope of this privacy policy provide the same level of protection as required by the privacy principles.

OGC’s accountability for personal data that it receives in the United States under the DPF and subsequently transfers to a third party is outlined in the DPF Principles. In particular, OGC remains responsible and liable under the DPF Principles if third-party agents that it engages to process personal data on its behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with said Principles unless OGC proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

OGC may also need to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, for law enforcement or national security reasons, or when such action is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding or court order, or when otherwise required by law, including liability cases on onward transfers to third parties. We do not offer an opportunity to opt out from this category of disclosure.

Children under the Age of 18

OGC does not collect personal data from Minors or allow them to register for our surveys. Our services are not intended for and may not be used by minors. “Minors” are individuals under the age of 18 (or under a higher age if so stated by the laws of their residence). If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a Minor, we will delete that information and deletion will occur without notice. If you believe we might have any information from or about a Minor, please contact us at the address provided below.

Security of Your Personal Information

We use appropriate administrative, organizational, technical and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we collect and process about you from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information and to help ensure that your data is safe, secure, and only available to you and to those you provided authorized access. Specific measures we use include encryption through protocols such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL). However, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so you should take care in deciding what information you send us in this way. If a password is provided to help protect your projects and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Data Retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements, to enforce our agreements or comply with our legal obligations).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
