ABOUT OCOFAMERICA

OCofAmerica provides clients with services and tools that allow them and their personnel to use Internet based applications to facilitate field programs and campaigns. Such services are separate from OCofAmerica marketing website. OCofAmerica transmits, processes, and maintains data for clients that use the Services. Such information will be held subject to the requirements specified by our clients and in accordance with our contracts with our clients and applicable law.

This Privacy Policy does not reflect the privacy practices of OCofAmerica clients, and OCofAmerica is not responsible for our clients’ privacy policies or practices.

We control our marketing website and the information collected through it.

“Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate an individual, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number. We do not consider Personal Information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION THROUGH THE SERVICES

Directly from Individuals Using the Services. We collect information when a user completes a user profile. A user may provide Personal Information, such as name, email address, password, photograph, and contact information. The Services may also collect information from individuals who complete a transaction on the Services, such as their signature.

About Users from Clients. Clients may provide information, including Personal Information, to the Services about their personnel who use the Services, including employees and volunteers. It is our clients’ responsibility to ensure that the information they collect and transmit to us is collected and used in compliance with applicable law, including, for example, providing the appropriate level of notice to individuals.

Social Connect. Users may log in with social media account credentials, and we collect Personal Information from such social media websites. For example, when a user connects his or her Google account, we may collect the Personal Information made publicly available by Google, such as email addresses. We may also obtain other non public information from social media websites with the user’s permission.

About Others from Clients and Users. Our clients and users may submit information about other individuals through the Services so that we can provide our services. This information includes Personal Information, such as name, telephone number, email address, and mailing address. This information will also include non Personal Information, such as responses to survey questions. It is our clients’ and users’ responsibilities to ensure that the information they collect and transmit to us is collected and used in compliance with applicable law.

About Others from Third Party Services. At the direction of our clients or on our own accord, we may receive information about individuals, including Personal Information, from third party data providers. For example, we may obtain contact information about individuals from our clients’ third party service providers. We may also obtain from third parties demographic information associated with the individuals provided to us by clients. If we combine or associate information from other sources with Personal Information that we collect through the Services, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.

Making Payments. When an individual makes payments through the Services, the individual may need to provide financial account information, such as a credit card number, to our third party service providers. We do not collect or store such information, though we may receive summary information about transactions that does not include credit card or bank account numbers.

Location Information from App Users’ Mobile Devices. We may collect and store geo location information from the devices of App users. For example, we may collect and store geo location during the time periods App users have designated they are working on campaigns. Such location information is collected for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, which may include reporting to our clients where their employees and volunteers are located.

App users may at any time prohibit the Services from collecting location information by turning this feature off on the mobile device, but the Services may no longer work properly.

Customer Support. We may collect Personal Information through communications with our customer support team.

Cookies, Automatic Data Collection, and Related Technologies. The Services collect and store information that is generated automatically as users use them, including their preferences and anonymous usage statistics. When we associate such information with Personal Information, we will treat the combination as Personal Information. When individuals use the Services or receive emails from us, we and our third party partners, such as analytics providers, use “cookies” and other similar technologies to collect information about how the Services or email are accessed. Our partners also may collect information about users’ online activities over time and on other websites or apps.

When they provide such services, they are governed by their own privacy policies. Users may be able to change browser settings to block and delete cookies when they access the Services through a web browser. However, if users do that, the Services may not work properly.

By using the Services, you are authorizing us to gather, parse, and retain data related to the provision of the Services.
