"Anonymous Information" refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For instance, we may know that 10,000 people visit this Privacy Policy daily, but we do not necessarily know their names, where they live, or their dates of birth.  "Personally Identifiable Information" or "PII" refers to information that tells us specifically who you are, such as your name, phone number, or postal address. 

OpenInvo may set and access OpenInvo or third party “cookies” on your computer when you visit our Site and collect the Internet protocol address provided by your computer.  We use cookies to store your preferences and other information on your computer in order to save you time by eliminating the need for you to enter the same information repeatedly. These "cookies" may also help personalize your online experience. 

A cookie is a tiny piece of text asking permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. (For some web pages that require an authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies or similar devices will probably not be able to access those pages or the related Products and Services.).

OpenInvo or third parties with whom we have contracted or sub contracted, may use web beacons on our Site, in our emails, in our advertisements on other web sites, or in our other advertisements. Similarly, third parties whose content or ads appear on our Site, or whose emails we send to you or to our other users, may also place web beacons in their ads or emails for purposes of measuring the effectiveness of the content, ads, or email.  You can make some web beacons unusable by setting your browser to reject cookies.

A web beacon is an electronic image that can be used to recognize a cookie on your computer when you view a web page or email. Web beacons help us measure the effectiveness of our Site and our advertising. For example, web beacons may count the number of individuals who visit our Site from a particular advertisement or who make a purchase from our Site after viewing a particular advertisement or posting, or they may tell us when a web page is viewed and provide a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. Web beacons may also measure the effectiveness of our email campaigns by measuring click-throughs and the frequency that these emails are forwarded.

The information we or our contractors collect through web beacons may include some limited personal information.  They also allow us to recognize users by accessing our cookies. We may also combine the information that we collect through web beacons with other personal information we have collected from you. We use all of this information to better tailor our marketing to you and may use this information for other purposes, such as to enable a shopping cart, customize content on our Site and undertake internal research.

We may allow third parties to compile individual information or aggregated statistics from the use of web beacons on our Site or otherwise placed by us, to enable such third parties to determine the effectiveness of online marketing and to allow such third parties to develop statistics on how often clicking on an advertisement results in an action on the advertiser's site. Aggregate information is anonymous and may include demographic and usage information. No personally identifiable information about you is shared with such third parties for this research. 

OpenInvo may hire other companies to place our banner ads on other websites. Such companies perform tracking and reporting activities on ads served and user reaction ("third-party advertisement servers"). They are not authorized by OpenInvo to collect any information other than IP addresses and behaviors associated with those IP addresses on our behalf, and we do not give any personal information to them. Third-party advertisement servers are subject to and may have their own privacy policies. 

OpenInvo may allow other companies to display advertisements on certain pages of the Site or within the Products and Services. If you click on these advertisements these companies may place a persistent cookie on your computer which may allow them to display further advertisements to you. It is our policy to require these companies to provide accessible methods for you to disable these cookies. Should you have any complaints about the practices of any of these companies you should contact privacy@openinvo.com.

When you receive an email from OpenInvo, we may track whether you opened that email and clicked on any links included in the email.

When you surf the Internet, your Internet browser (such as Mozilla’s “FIRFOX” or Microsoft’s “Internet Explorer”) automatically transmits some information to OpenInvo every time you access content on one of our sites. Examples of such information include the URL of the Web page you were just on (known as the "Refer"), the IP (or Internet Protocol) address of the computer you are using, or the browser version you are using to access our site. All of this information may be collected by OpenInvo and used to help improve our services or the offerings our clients may make to you. 

The personal information that you provide in connection with registering yourself as a user of the Site or of the Products and Services is classified as Registration Information. Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Registration Information is available to you through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. In addition, your Registration Information resides on secure servers where only selected OpenInvo personnel and contractors have access via administrative level passwords. OpenInvo encrypts your personal information as it is transferred to OpenInvo and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information. Unfortunately, although we have taken these steps, there is a possibility that a third party may, without our authorization, breach our security procedures and access such information.

It is your responsibility to keep your password and unique customer Id confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.

OpenInvo shares collected information with our clients who purchase Products and Services from OpenInvo.  With permission from our clients, we may sell or share your information with third parties.   You may set the privacy settings that will govern the level of disclosure when you register with us.  These settings may be changed by following the procedures discussed in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Use ("TOU").  After we deliver collected information to our clients, we are not in control of what they do with the information.  Accordingly, it is possible that our clients may share collected information with others or use the information themselves.

When required by legal process or government demand or request, we may share any information collected by us with the party or agency serving the process or making the demand or request.

Please be aware that other websites that may be accessed through our Site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those third-party websites linked to openinvo.com are not covered by this Privacy Policy.  Please be aware that our business partners may collect personal information about you.

OpenInvo is concerned about the privacy and safety of children.  The Site and OpenInvo services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 through our Site.

As a matter of policy, OpenInvo does not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from anyone under the age of 13 or allow such persons to access or respond to telephone calls or e-mails from OpenInvo.

If you are under 18 years of age, please do not submit any personal information through our Site or otherwise without the express consent and participation of a parent or guardian.

For information on how to protect the privacy and safety of children online, we recommend that you visit the Parents' and Teachers' Guide to Online Privacy and the Consumer portion of the TRUSTe site (http://www.truste.org), which contains information and links to other resources on this subject.  Although OpenInvo is not affiliated with TRUSTe or any other online privacy oversight program, we do recommend that consumers become familiar with TRUSTe and other online privacy oversight programs and business watch organizations.

Protecting your privacy and your information is a top priority at OpenInvo.  We have taken careful measures to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of your information while it is in our possession and control.  All OpenInvo employees are aware of our privacy and security policies.  Within OpenInvo, we limit access to PII about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide reports to our clients and in order to do their jobs.  We have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information about you.  However, once we provide the PII to our clients, we are not in control of the data or the use that our clients make of the data.  We recommend that you consult our clients’ Privacy Policies.

If you have questions or suggestions, please email us at privacy@openinvo.com, or write to us at OpenInvo, 27 West 20th Street, Suite 605, New York, NY 10011.
