The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), demographic information (such as zip code), and, in the case of a special program involving a form of payment, payment details. We use this information to notify participants, to monitor Website traffic, customize the Website or send participants email updates.
When you send email or other communications to Orinoco, we may retain these communications to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.
When registering for our Services, you may receive occasional email updates from Orinoco.

We provide you with the opportunity to 'opt out' of having your PII used for such purposes when we ask for this information. For example, if you no longer wish to receive our email updates, you may opt out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each update.
The information collected may be used for the following purposes only:
The information that we collect or obtain, as outlined in the preceding sections, may be shared with or transferred to others, as the case may be, in any of the following instances:
If the operation of the App or Website is organized within a different framework, or through another legal structure or entity (such as due to a business transition like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets), the information that we collect or obtain, as outlined in the preceding sections, may be shared with or transferred in its entirety to, the other entity, provided that it undertakes to be bound by the provisions of this Policy, with reasonably necessary changes taken into consideration. Upon such transfer or sharing, the receiving entity may assume full and exclusive responsibility for all subsequent use and processing it makes of the information and Orinoco will be released from any liability to you, regarding the receiving entity's use and processing of the information.
In any case other than the above, your personally identifiable information will be shared with others only if you provide your explicit prior consent.
Orinoco collects within the operation of the App and Website anonymized as well as aggregated information, which does not identify you personally. Such anonymized or aggregated information may be used in any way, including by posting, disseminating, transmitting or otherwise communicating or making it available to any other third party.
The Website may contain or present third party links to third party sites or services - all of which are not owned or controlled by us. Though we collect certain parameters related to your interactions with these third-party services (as detailed in this Policy), we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third party sites or services and this Policy does not apply to them. Please refer to the privacy policies of those other sites and services, to determine whether their privacy practices are acceptable to you.
The App and Website, by their nature as an online service, may store and process information in Europe, the United States and in other various locations throughout the globe. If you are a resident in a jurisdiction where transfer of your personal information to another jurisdiction requires your consent, then you provide your express and unambiguous consent to such transfer.
Cookies (which may be HTML files, Flash files or other technology) are text files that help store user preferences and activity. "Web beacons" (also known as image tags, gif or web bugs) are small pieces of code used to collect data, such as counting page views or promotion views. The Website may use "cookies", "web beacons" and other similar information-gathering technologies (collectively, "Information Gathering Technologies") to collect non-PII automatically as you access and browse the Website. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Orinoco only and does not cover the use of cookies by any other third party.
Orinoco uses both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. Orinoco uses session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Website. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You may remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file. We set a persistent cookie for such uses as to store your app name and/or user name so you don't have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the users' experience on the Website. If you reject cookies, you may still use the Website, but your ability to use some areas of the Website may be limited.
By visiting the Website, whether as a registered user or otherwise, you acknowledge, understand and hereby agree that you are giving us your consent to gather information about your use of the Website through these Information Gathering Technologies.
Server logs capture certain non-PII, such as the time and date of a App usage or web visit, the browser and operating system being used, the IP address or domain name of the user's ISP, and the web URL a user linked from. This information is generally but not exclusively used to help plan system enhancements when necessary and to provide content that is compatible with our visitors' web browsing systems.
You may send us a request to access the Personally Identifiable Information that we may collect through your use of the App or Website or the Orinoco Platform. We may require that you provide us with additional information to verify your identity.
We may delete your Personally Identifiable Information from our systems or anonymize it if we deem it no longer necessary for our reasonable business needs.
The security of your personal information is important to us, and we implement measures to secure your Personally Identifiable Information, to the extent collected, to minimize the risks of damage, loss of information, and unauthorized access or use of information, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is absolutely secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect and secure your Personally Identifiable Information, we cannot guarantee and you cannot reasonably expect that the Website and the Orinoco Platform and its databases will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unauthorized interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.
