We use log files to provide general statistics regarding use of the websites by you, including how you use our websites, what country you are logging in from (for analytics, export control and regulatory purposes) and to help improve the navigation experience. Your IP addresses are also collected and logged for security and debugging purposes, for example to track access patterns, investigate security events and incidents.

e. To Market and Promote the Services

We use the information you provide to Opine to market and promote the products, services, and other offerings.

If you have a call scheduled with an Opine representative, we may record and transcribe the call. You will be notified prior to the call that the call is being recorded, and you will be offered an opportunity to opt-out of having the call recorded.

Where required by law, we will only send marketing communications with your consent. Otherwise, we will market and advertise our products and services on the basis of our legitimate business interests.

We receive information from third party service providers and other sources such as third party providers of business information and publicly available sources. We may receive and use this information from these service providers and other sources in combination with other information we collect through other means described in this Privacy Policy for the purposes of providing you with updates and improved Services, like personalized communications, event promotion, and tailoring the websites or product to improve user experience.

3. How We Share Personal Data

a. Service Providers

We may share Personal Data with our third party service providers to support our Sites, products, and services.

Examples may include removing repetitive information from prospect lists, analyzing data or performing statistical analysis on your use of the Services or interactions on our websites, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, supplementing the information you provide us in order to provide you with better service, developing and improving the product and services, and providing customer service or support.

In all cases where we share your information in this way, we explicitly require the third party service providers to acknowledge and adhere to our privacy and data protection policies and standards.

b. Public Forums

Our Sites may offer publicly accessible message boards, blogs, community forums, and integration into third party messaging services. Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose any information through our public message boards, blogs, forums (including profile information associated with the account you use to post the information), or integrated messaging services, it may be read, collected and used by any member of the public who accesses these websites. Your posts and certain profile information may remain even after you terminate your account. We urge you to consider the sensitivity of any information you may disclose in this way. We will correct or delete any information you have posted on the websites if you so request, as described in Section 6 “Your Privacy Rights and Choices” below. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to and why.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

a. Cookies

To enable our Sites to recognize your browser or device and to provide and improve our Services, we use cookies and other identifiers. We may collect Personal Data and other information through the Sites by way of cookies or other tracking technologies. Cookies and other tracking technologies are script files that facilitate the collection of non-personally identifying information, such as the number of visitors to the Sites, how each visitor arrived at the Sites and the visitor’s use and behavior patterns on the site to ensure a better customer experience.

We use certain first-party cookies, which do not require your consent, that commonly are referred to as “strictly necessary cookies.” These cookies ensure our digital services work correctly and meet audience needs and interests. We use the following strictly necessary cookies:

  • Session cookies: the use of these cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identification data (random numbers generated by the server), which are necessary to allow the safe and efficient exploration of the Sites and/or the Services. They are not permanently stored on your device and disappear when the browser is closed or after a period of inactivity. In particular, the use of session cookies is aimed at the security and improvement of the Services offered;

  • Technical cookies: these cookies track the consent given by you and are used to identify you for the duration of your session and to authorize you to use parts of the Sites that would otherwise be restricted;

  • User centric security: these cookies detect and block cross-site request forgery attacks;

  • User interface customization: these cookies track your preferences (such as language or font) and data transferred between different pages on the Sites; and

  • Analytics cookies: these cookies are similar to technical cookies insofar as they are used directly by the website manager to collect aggregate information on the number of visitors and the pattern of visits to, and use of, the Sites and/or the Services.

Some third parties also may provide cookies or similar technologies on the Sites and/or the Services. You are free to “opt-out” of the use of these cookies at any time as described below. Such cookies or similar technologies are not under our control, are managed by third parties (for example, https://www.framer.com/legal/cookie-policy/), and are divided into the following macro-categories:

  • Profiling cookies: these cookies are used to track your navigation on the web and to create profiles on your tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies, advertising messages can be transmitted to your device in line with the preferences already expressed by you when browsing online. In accordance with the regulations applicable to the Sites and/or the Services, you may “opt out” of the use of these cookies and the performance of the processing operations connected to them. The deactivation of such third-party cookies does not compromise the use of the Sites and/or the Services; and

  • Multimedia content player: these cookies store technical data to play back video or audio content for the duration of a session.

Examples of the cookies we use include the following:

Opine Cookies

Almost all web browsers allow you to verify which cookies are present on your personal hard drives, block all cookies, or receive a notification any time a cookie is installed. In certain cases, however, failure to install a cookie may lead to the impossibility to use certain sections of the Sites and/or Services. If you elect to reject cookies and other tracking technologies, we may not be able to deliver certain information or services to you. Information about the procedure you are required to follow in order to disable cookies can also be found on at https://allaboutcookies.org/how-to-manage-cookies

The Sites use various analytics tools that use cookies to process information including standard internet log information and details of the visitor’s behavioral patterns upon visiting our site. These tools are used to provide you with a better experience, and to facilitate the use of certain functions. Upon request, we will provide you with additional information about these tools including how you can opt-out from information processing by these tools.

Below are the methods offered by the primary browsers which allow the users to express their options regarding the use of cookies:

b. Pixels (aka web beacons/web bugs/java script).

We may use pixels to automatically record certain technical information about your interactions with us when you visit the Sites or otherwise engage with us, to help deliver Cookies on our Sites, or count users who have visited the Sites. We may also include web beacons in our promotional e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether you open or act on them for statistical purposes. Pixels are tiny graphics (about the size of a period at the end of a sentence) with unique identifiers used to track certain online actions, movements and related information of Sites users. Unlike cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, pixels are embedded invisibly on web pages or in HTML-based emails. The data we receive through pixels allows us to effectively promote the Sites to various populations of users, and to optimize external ads about the Sites that appear on third-party websites.

6. California Privacy Rights (for California residents only)

The “California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018” became effective January 1, 2020, and was amended by the “California Privacy Rights Act of 2020” effective January 1, 2023 (together, “CA Privacy Laws”). The CA Privacy Laws grant California consumers new rights related to their Personal Data. The CA Privacy Laws afford California consumers new rights to transparency about data collection including rights to control access and use of their Personal Data, including, but not limited to, the right to correct personal information and opt out of data sharing. To the extent applicable to us, we comply with CA Privacy Laws. We do not sell your Personal Data. We do share some of your information with our trusted service providers, to market our services and operate the Sites. We do not allow these third parties to use your information for their own purposes. Personal Information we collect is retained by us for the Retention Period following your last use of the Services. If you wish to opt out of data sharing, correct Personal Data, or exercise any other rights you have under the CA Privacy Laws, please contact us at the email specified below in this Privacy Policy.

Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide Personal Data in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared that information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2024 will receive information regarding 2023 sharing activities). To obtain this information, please contact us at the email specified below in this Privacy Policy with “Shine the Light Request” on the subject line and in the body of your message. We will provide the requested information to you at your email address in response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.

7. COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of Personal Data from children under the age of thirteen (13) years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (the “COPPA Rule”) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of thirteen (13) years old.

To protect children’s Personal Information, we do not knowingly collect any Personal Data from persons under the age of eighteen (18) that can be used to specifically identify them, and we do not permit persons under the age of eighteen (18) to use the Sites or the Services. If we become aware that a child under the age of thirteen (13) has provided us with Personal Data, we will immediately take steps to delete the Personal Data submitted and terminate the account.
