OCPA takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.

What This Privacy Policy Covers

• This policy covers how OCPA treats personal information that OCPA collects and receives. Personal information is data about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
• This policy does not apply to the practices of affiliated associations that OCPA does not own or control, or to people that OCPA does not employ or manage. In addition, non-Web OCPA services may have separate privacy policies.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

• OCPA does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or nonaffiliated companies or associations.
• We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of OCPA's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
• OCPA is sponsored by vendors, partners, advertisers, and other service providers in different industries and categories of business. OCPA does not share personal or subscription information with these third-parties.

Cookies

• OCPA does not set and/or access cookies on your computer.

Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Membership Information and Preferences

General

• You cannot edit your OCPA Membership information online. If you need to modify or cancel your subscription, please use the Membership button on the Contact Us page to send a request for changes.
• We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to OCPA services, such as announcements, administrative messages and the OCPA Newsletter, that are considered part of your OCPA Membership, without offering you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving them.

Confidentiality and Security

• We limit access to personal information about you to OCPA Directors and Section Chairs who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to perform their volunteer assignments.
• We have physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that protect personal information about you, such as credit card information.
• When gathering credit card numbers, OCPA uses a secure SSL server that protects credit card numbers using 128 bit encryption as the data is transmitted over the Internet.

Server Security

• The OCPA Web server and database resides behind 2 firewalls, one at the Datacenter, and a second one on OCPA's server.
• Each server has a mirrored drive, so there is always a 'fail safe drive' to protect data.

Links to Other Websites

• This website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for and do not control the contents and performance of such websites, and accept no responsibility for the consequences of your use thereof.
