California Residents Privacy Rights:
Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled to ask certain businesses to respond to requests about the business practices related to disclosing personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Alternately, businesses may have in place a policy not to disclose personal information of customers to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes if the customer has exercised an option to opt-out of such information-sharing. We require you to expressly opt-in to any disclosure of your personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, which is stricter than required under California law. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this Privacy Policy, please submit a written request to the address below.
Visiting the Site from outside the United States:
If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will typically be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. Please be assured that we seek to take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is protected. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal information, to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
Users of the Site from the European Union (“EU”):
If your personal information is subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), in the course of providing the Site to you, we may transfer your personal information outside of the EU, principally to OFS’s servers in the United States; this means that your personal information will not have the automatic protection of European data protection laws (including the GDPR) which apply in the EU. In these circumstances, in order to ensure that your personal information continues to have adequate protection when it is transferred outside the EU, your personal information will only be transferred on one of the following bases:
- Where the transfer is subject to one or more of the appropriate safeguards for international transfers prescribed by applicable law (for example, standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission);
- A European Commission decision provides that the country or territory to which the transfer is made ensures an adequate level of protection; or
- There exists another situation where the transfer is permitted under applicable law (for example, where we have your explicit consent).
You can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal information when it is transferred outside the EU by contacting us using the details set out below.
Children’s Privacy:
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to us. For that reason, OFS does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from children under 13 years of age. If OFS learns that the personal information of children under 13 years of age has been collected on or through the Site, OFS will take the appropriate steps to delete such personal information. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 years of age who has become a registered user of the Site or otherwise has used the booking engine or our Services, please contact us by email at support@optimalfinancial.io to have your child’s transactions terminated and personal information deleted.
Third-Party Websites:
If the Site contains links at any time to other websites that are not operated by us and you click on any such third party link, you will be directed to such third party’s website. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policy of every website you visit.
