Cookies and Similar Technologies
What are first and third-party cookies? A “cookie” is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on your device (if you allow) for use either during a particular browsing session (a “session” cookie) or a future browsing session (a “persistent” cookie). “Session” cookies are temporarily stored on your device and remain there until they expire at the end of your browsing session. “Persistent” cookies remain stored on your device until they expire or are deleted by you. Local shared objects (or “Flash” cookies) are used to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on a website. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. Third-party cookies are set by a party other than that website.
What are “similar technologies”? In addition to cookies, there are other data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons, pixels (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.) that can be used to collect data as you navigate through and interact with a website. For example, web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that are used to understand browsing activity. UTM codes are strings that can appear in a URL when you move from one web page or website to another. The string can represent information about your browsing, such as which advertisement, page, or publisher sent you to the receiving website.
What cookies and similar technologies are in use on the Sites and why do we use them?
We use cookies as described in our Privacy Policy, including to analyze site usage, maintain security, and improve our sites. Click “Accept All Cookies” to agree to the storing of cookies on your device and to our use of all cookies. Click “Customize” to configure your preferences or “Reject Optional Cookies” to reject non-necessary cookies. For more information, to change your preferences, or to exercise your rights please visit our Privacy Policy.
Other third-party technologies. Some third parties may use data collection technologies to collect information about you when you browse the Internet. We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may be used. If you have questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.
Choices about cookies and similar technologies. Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being stored. These settings may affect your enjoyment of each Site’s functionality. Adjusting the cookie settings may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created. To delete them, you should review your web browser settings after you have changed your cookie settings.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
We will keep your information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to operate our business, and to enforce our agreements.
We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect when (1) we have a legal obligation to do so, (2) we no longer have a purpose for retaining the information, and (3) if you ask us to delete your information, unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations. We may also decide to delete your personal information if we believe it is incomplete, inaccurate, or that our continued storage of your personal information is contrary to our legal obligations or business objectives. When we delete data, it will be removed from our active servers and databases, but it may remain in our archives when it is not practical or possible to delete it.
We may retain and use anonymous, de-identified, or aggregated information for as long as is permitted under applicable law.
We are required by law to maintain records of certain requests submitted under applicable privacy laws (for example, the CCPA) and how we responded to such requests for at least 24 months.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
We have adopted security measures designed to protect the personal information under our control. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technologies and methods.

If a request is submitted in an incorrect manner or if it is deficient, we will either (1) treat the request as if it had been submitted via the designated manner, or (2) provide you with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies, as applicable.
Verification Process. We are required to verify the identities of those who submit requests to exercise certain of the above rights. To determine whether the individual making the request is the consumer about whom we have collected information, we will verify your identity by matching the identifying information provided by you in the request to the personal information that we already maintain about you. As a part of this process, you will be required to provide your name, email address, mailing address, and/or telephone number. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity.
● If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request for categories of personal information, we may deny the request. If the request is denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will provide a copy of, or direct you to, our privacy policy.
● If we cannot verify the identity of the person making the request for specific pieces of personal information, we are prohibited from disclosing any specific pieces of personal information to the requestor. However, if denied in whole or in part for this reason, we will evaluate the request as if it is seeking the disclosure of categories of personal information about the consumer.
● If we cannot verify the identity of the person making a request to delete, we may deny the request.
● If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor to the degree of certainty required, we will state this in our response and explain why we have no reasonable method by which we can verify the identity of the requestor. In such cases we may not be required to comply with the request or may request additional information reasonably necessary to verify the request.
Authorized Agents. Authorized agents may submit requests via the methods identified in this Policy. If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know or a request to delete, we may require: (1) the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request; (2) you to verify your identity directly with us; and (3) you to directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. However, we may not require these actions with respect to confirmed guardianship, conservatorship, power of attorney, or other protective arrangement in accordance with applicable law.
Excessive Requests. If requests from a consumer are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either (1) charge a reasonable fee, or (2) refuse to act on the request and notify the consumer of the reason for refusing the request. If we charge a fee, the amount will be based upon the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested.
Non-Discrimination. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us due to your exercise of the above rights. We do not discriminate against individuals for exercising their rights under applicable law.
Appeals Process. Residents of certain states have the right to appeal a refusal to take action on a request within a reasonable time after your receipt of the decision. You may submit an appeal to a decision on your request via a toll-free telephone call to 800.967.2289 or by email to legal@obhg.com.

THIRD-PARTY SITES AND SERVICES
This Policy only applies to our Sites and services. It does not apply to any websites, applications, or services provided by third parties.
The Sites include links to, and content from, third parties. These links are to external resources and third parties that have their own privacy policies. It may not always be clear which links are to external, third-party resources. If you click on a third-party link, you will be redirected away from the Sites. You can check the URL to confirm whether you have left any of the Sites.
We cannot and do not (1) guarantee the privacy or security practices of third parties or any content provided by third parties; (2) control third parties’ collection or use or your information; or (3) endorse any third-party information, products, services, applications, or websites.
Any information provided by you or collected from you by a third party will be governed by that party’s privacy policy and terms of use. You should review their privacy policy and terms of use carefully.

Our Sites and services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. No one under the age of 13 may access, browse, or use the Sites or provide any information to us.
