Your privacy is important to OneOp. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy“) provides you with information regarding the personal information collected during your visits to the OneOp website (the “Site“), how it is used, with whom it may be shared and what choices you have regarding collection and distribution of your personal information.
OneOp reserves the right, at any time, to modify this Privacy Policy. If OneOp makes revisions that change the way we collect, use, or share personal information, we will post those changes in this Privacy Policy. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically so that you keep up to date on our most current policies and practices. We will note the effective date of the latest version of our Privacy Policy at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.
What personal information may be collected?
OneOp collects personal information when users voluntarily submit it to us. For example, when you register with OneOp, we collect personal information, including your name and address. We may also ask for information about your areas of interest to provide relevant resources to better serve your needs. You may choose not to share your geographical information or areas of interest, but we encourage you to do so to receive a more personalized experience with OneOp.
Unregistered users of OneOp must provide their e-mail address and name when providing a comment or asking a question.
How will my information be used?
Information provided by unregistered users may be used to follow-up on the particular question or comment from the user. Users have the option to register or opt-in to receive additional information or communications from OneOp.
For registered users, information collected during registration may be used to provide tailored information and resources for each user based on areas of interest and geographical location. Geographical information may be used to provide a customized home page featuring relevant local information and news. Information collected on your areas of interest may be used to provide you with publications and news related to your interests on your personalized home page. Registered users have the option to allow OneOp to share your personal information with local Extension offices to better serve your needs. You may also choose to receive local Extension newsletters and other communications. To ensure your privacy, you will be provided with a way to unsubscribe from any newsletters you may receive.
Information sharing and disclosure
We do not share or sell your personal information to third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy. Registered users will have the choice to opt-out of any sharing of personal information with our partner universities or local OneOp offices. OneOp may share your personal information with service providers that perform services for OneOp, such as providing marketing assistance and analyzing data. For example, we use cookies at OneOp.org from service providers such as Google Analytics to collect user traffic data. Please visit the Google Analytics website for more information.
There may be instances when OneOp may disclose your personal information without providing you with a choice in order to protect the legal rights of OneOp, our partner universities or local OneOp offices, agents, and employees; to honor a request that you have made through the Site; to protect the safety and security of other users; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with the law or legal process.
