In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following third parties.
Our servers are located in the United States. If you access our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where we or our third- party partners operate.
Some of the third parties referenced in this Privacy Policy, which provide services to us under contractual arrangements, are located in jurisdictions that may not offer the same level of privacy and data protection as the country in which you reside.
For transfers of personal data from individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, or the United Kingdom to such third parties, we implement a variety of legal mechanisms to safeguard the transfer, including reliance on the European Commission- approved Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses, and, where appropriate, additional safeguards. For transfers to or from Canada, we utilize Standard
Contractual Clauses and remain subject to the regulatory authority of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Similarly, for transfers of personal data from residents of Brazil, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure adequate protection.
If you would like more information about the legal mechanisms we use to transfer personal data outside of the EEA, Switzerland, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Brazil, please contact us.
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this Privacy Policy will require us to keep your personal Information for longer than six (6) months past the termination of the user's account.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
Our security measures include, but are not limited to:
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from, or market to children under 18 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age, nor do we knowingly sell such personal information. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at info@okolabor.com.
In Short: This section outlines your rights as a non-U.S. resident of certain jurisdictions and our corresponding obligations to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable laws.

For further details regarding these rights, please refer to the applicable regional notices below.
Regardless of where you live, you can exercise the following choices:
We generally do not charge fees for processing or responding to your requests unless exceptional circumstances apply. If we are unable to fulfill a request, we will explain the reason for our decision.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as outlined in the Section “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?”. We will handle your request in accordance with applicable laws and respond as soon as reasonably possible. To ensure your privacy, we will verify your identity using the information linked to your account, such as your name and email address.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
California law requires us to let you know how we respond to web browser DNT signals. Because there currently is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring DNT signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
