INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE, AND SHARING
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g., to respond to inquiries.

INFORMATION COLLECTION
OCV may collect information from visitors to the ocvpartners.com Web site through the use of cookies, log files and clear gifs as well as information provided by visitors through portions of the Web site. You can visit the Website without revealing any personal information. However, this Website collects usage information through a variety of technical methods, including collecting internet protocol addresses (“IP Address”), using cookies and using web beacons (such information, “Other Information”, and together with Personal Information, “Information”). Our web servers collect the IP Addresses, but not the email addresses, of users. This information can measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, and other such statistics. In addition, you may occasionally receive cookies from third parties to which you link from our Website. If you prefer, you may set your browser to ask for your permission before you receive a cookie. We do not control these third party cookies, and they are not subject to this Privacy Policy.

COOKIES AND CLEAR GIFS
Cookies are pieces of information that a website sends to your computer while you are viewing the site. Clear gifs, or Web beacons, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and we may use them to track the online movements of visitors to the ocvpartners.com Web site. Clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller than cookies, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to visitors’ personally identifiable information.

We may place Web beacons on some pages to allow us to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics about web site usage. We also may use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails (or particular articles, links, etc.) have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

Cookies, web beacons and other technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf.

PROFILE
We may store information that we collect through cookies, log files and third parties to create a profile of our visitors. A profile may store information that we keep on individual visitors that details their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to the visitor’s personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the visitor. This profile may be used to tailor a visitor’s visit to the OCV Partners’ Web site, and to direct pertinent promotional information to them. We do not share personally identifiable elements of your profile with other third parties. Your profile is shared in aggregate form only.

LOG FILES
Like most Web sites, our servers use log files to analyze trends, administer the site, track visitor’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

This information is used in the following ways:

  1. Customer Feedback and Support. Provides a mechanism for requesting information from OCV.
  2. Email Correspondence. Used to raise and respond to issues and inquiries of all types. Also used to distribute information about OCV.
  3. Partner, Investor Relations, Press and Sales. Used to distribute requested information about OCV and to establish contact with appropriate OCV personnel.
  4. As set out in the section of this Privacy Policy entitled “Sharing.”
  5. If you submit your resume as a prospective employee, OCV will use your personal information for recruitment purposes, and if you are offered a job or become employed by OCV, for other employment-related purposes.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have personal information on a child under the age of 16, we will delete that information from our systems. OCV encourages parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer:

  1. Teach kids never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc.
  2. Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
  3. Look for Web site privacy policies. Know how your child’s information is treated.

BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS
In the event OCV goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, visitors’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. You will be notified prior to a change of ownership or control of your personal information.

OCV has Co-Brand relationships with some Web sites, and the Co-Branded sites will have their own privacy policies specific to each site, and the user should read them carefully before registration.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES

In some cases we will also email visitors, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our Privacy Policy. If, however, we are going to use visitors’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify visitors via email. Visitors will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.

DATA RETENTION
The time period for which we keep information varies according to what the information is used for. In some cases, there are legal requirements to keep data for a minimum period. Unless there is a specific legal requirement for us to keep the information, we will retain it for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected or for which it is to be further processed.
