This Privacy Statement relates solely to the online
information collection and use practices of our Web site located
at www.obakunta.com (this "Web Site"), and not to any
subdomains of this Web Site. We recognize that many visitors and
users of this Web Site are concerned about the information they
provide to us, and how we treat that information. This Privacy Statement,
which may be updated from time to time, has been developed to address
those concerns.
Your use of this Web Site indicates to us that you have read
and accept our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy
Statement. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this
Privacy Statement, please contact us
What
information about you we do we collect?
When you visit our Web Site, you may provide us with two types
of information: (1) personally identifiable information that you
knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual
basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain
personally identifiable information, which is collected on an
aggregate basis as you browse the Web Site. In some cases, if
you choose not to provide us with requested information, you may
not be able to access all of our Web Site's content or services.
Personally
Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide.
We may ask for certain personal information from you for the
purpose of providing to you content and/or services that you request.
For example, if you indicate an interest in receiving press releases
about Oba Kunta Octopus company, you are asked to submit your
name and e-mail address, which we retain on file, so that we may
send you the information that you requested. If you indicate on
our E-mail Alert registration form that you are a member of the
press, we may also send you information regarding our business.
We also request your name and e-mail address each time you contact
us by clicking on the "Contact Us" link. We may retain
a record of users who have contacted us in order to respond properly
to questions or concerns and for purposes of future communications.
Non-Personally
Identifiable Information We Collect.
Cookies/ Web server logs: Similar to other commercial Web sites,
our Web Site utilizes standard technology called "cookies"
and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web Site
is used. Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows
Web servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site.
Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web
browser on the user's hard drive. Information gathered through
cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits,
the pages viewed, time spent at our Web Site, and the Web sites
visited just before and just after our Web Site. This information
is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is
associated with you as an individual.
You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating
this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However,
it is possible that some parts of our Web Site will not operate
correctly if you disable cookies. You should consult with your
browser's provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding
disabling cookies.
How
do we use the inforamtion we collect?
We use your personally identifiable information to provide you
with the information or content that you have requested, and,
in some cases, to contact you about our programs, products, features
or services. If you no longer wish to receive press releases or
any other type of information from us, you may send us an email
through our "Contact Us" link or use our E-mail Alert
form to change your preferences.
We use non-identifying information collected on our Web Site
in the aggregate to better understand your use of the Web Site
and to enhance your enjoyment and experience. For example, we
may use the information to improve the design and content of our
Web Site or to analyze the programs and services that we offer.
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions
on our behalf. Our employees, agents and contractors who have
access to personally identifiable information are required to
protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this
Privacy Statement.
We may provide access to your personally identifiable information
when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations
or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized
use of our Web Site, to limit our legal liability and protect
our rights, or to protect the rights and safety of visitors to
this Web Site or the public. In those instances, the information
is provided only for that limited purpose.
We will not share your personally identifiable information in
ways unrelated to those described above without providing you
with an opportunity to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit
such unrelated uses.
How
do you have access and/or modify your information or choices?
If you visit our Web Site and volunteer personally identifiable
information, you may modify, update or delete such information
at any time by visiting the E-mail Alert area where you will have
the opportunity to access and revise certain of your personally
identifiable information, and to update your preferences regarding
what information you want to receive from us, or by clicking on
the "Contact Us" link and sending us an e-mail. You
should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely
remove or modify information in our databases. In addition, please
be aware that your ability to opt out from receiving marketing
and promotional materials does not change our right to contact
you regarding your use of our Web Site.
Privacy
protection for children using the Internet
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. For that reason,
we do not collect or maintain information on our Web Site from
those we actually know are under the age of 13, nor is any part
of our Web Site targeted to attract anyone under 13. We request
that all visitors to our Web Site who are under 13 not disclose
or provide any personally identifiable information. If we discover
that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable
information, we will delete that child's personally identifiable
information from our records.
Data
security
We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of the personally
identifiable information that we collect, including limiting the
number of people who have physical access to our database servers,
as well as installing electronic security systems that guard against
unauthorized access. However, no data transmission over the Internet
can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit
to us, so you do so at your own risk.
