4. UTILIZATION OF COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies and similar tracking mechanisms (such as web beacons and pixels) may be employed by us to collect or store information. The following Cookie Notice details the usage of these technologies and your options regarding certain cookies.

Cookie Notice:

Cookies are small files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are essential for recognizing your device on subsequent visits. Cookies enable features like remembering login details and preferences, enhancing website performance, and delivering targeted content.

Here’s why we use cookies:

  1. Personalized Services: These are necessary for website navigation and access to features like subscriber-only content. Disabling them may limit access to full services, as they maintain login states and do not track personal browsing history;
  2. Improved User Experience: These cookies remember your settings and preferences for a more personalized browsing experience. They prevent repetitive form entries and control ad frequency;
  3. Analytics: These cookies help us monitor site usage and popularity of different pages to keep the content current and relevant. They collect anonymous data, helping us understand overall user behavior without identifying individual users;
  4. Targeted Advertising: Used to deliver relevant ads by remembering visits and sharing data with advertisers, these cookies also measure ad campaign effectiveness;

Most web browsers allow you to disable cookies via their help menu, but this may affect how the website functions.

5. DURATION OF STORAGE FOR YOUR DATA

We will retain your information until it is no longer necessary for the purposes stated in this privacy notice or as mandated by law.

Your personal information will be retained only for the time needed to satisfy the objectives mentioned in this privacy notice or as a longer retention span is legally required or allowed (e.g., for tax, accounting, or other legal obligations).

We will either delete or anonymize your personal information or if neither is feasible (for example, because your personal information is stored in backup systems), we will securely store your personal information and prevent any further processing until deletion can be achieved, once there’s no longer a valid business reason to process it.

6. SECURITY MEASURES FOR PROTECTING YOUR DATA

To safeguard the personal information we handle, we’ve instituted suitable technical and organizational security measures. Nevertheless, no method of electronic transmission or storage of information is entirely secure, so we cannot assure absolute protection against the potential breaches of our security measures by hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized entities. We urge you to use a secure environment to access our Services, as the transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

7. COLLECTION OF DATA FROM INDIVIDUALS BELOW THE AGE OF MAJORITY

We do not intentionally gather or market information from individuals under 18 years of age.

We avoid deliberately requesting or marketing to children under 18 years of age. By utilizing the Services, you confirm that you are over 18 or the parent/guardian of such a minor and consent to the minor’s use of the Services. Should we discover that we have collected personal information from users under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will deactivate the account and endeavor to promptly erase such information from our records. For concerns about data collected from minors under 18, please get in touch with us at hr@owneroperatorland.com.

8. YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING PRIVACY

At any time, you may review, alter, or terminate your account.

If you wish to withdraw your consent for us to process your personal information, you may do so at any time. You can do so by contacting us using the contact information provided in the “CONTACT INFORMATION FOR INQUIRIES ABOUT THIS POLICY” section below.

It’s important to note, however, that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. Moreover, if the law allows, processing based on legitimate grounds other than consent will not be affected.

If you prefer not to accept cookies or wish to disable cookies, you can adjust your browser settings accordingly. However, doing so may impact certain functionalities or services of our Services.

For inquiries or comments about your privacy rights, feel free to email us at hr@owneroperatorland.com.

9. OPTIONS REGARDING DO-NOT-TRACK SETTINGS

Many web browsers, as well as some mobile operating systems and apps, include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can enable to indicate your privacy preference not to have your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Currently, no uniform standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been established. Therefore, we do not monitor or respond to DNT browser signals or any similar mechanism that automatically communicates your choice against online tracking. Should a standard for online tracking be established that we must adhere to in the future, we will inform you about that practice in an updated version of this privacy notice.
