Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Obicast uses and protects any that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Obicast collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Obicast’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the website.

Obicast also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Obicast does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of personally-identifying information

Certain visitors to Obicast choose to interact with us in ways that require Obicast to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Obicast gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who conduct legal proceedings to provide a name and email address.

In each case, Obicast collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Obicast. Obicast does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain activities, like applying for a service.

Protection of certain personally-identifying information

Obicast discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Obicast’s behalf or to provide services available through Obicast, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Obicast will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Obicast discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when Obicast believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Obicast, third parties, or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of a Obicast website and have supplied your email address, Obicast may occasionally send you an email to tell you about updates on your service, new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Obicast and our services.

Use of personal information

We will not use the information you provide when you register for an account or use our services in any other way.

We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.

We would like to send you email marketing communication which may be of interest to you from time to time. If you have consented to marketing, you may opt out later.

You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes.

Legal grounds for processing personal information

We rely on one or more of the following processing conditions:

Our legitimate interests in the effective delivery of information and services to you
Explicit consent that you have given
Legal obligations

Retention of personal information

We will retain your personal information on our systems only for as long as we need to, for the success of the Obicast project and the programs that support Obicast.

Obicast will not delete personal data from logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archives of the Obicast project.

Third party links

Our website may contain links to other websites provided by third parties not under our control. When following a link and providing information to a 3rd-party website, please be aware that we are not responsible for the data provided to that third party. This privacy policy only applies to the websites listed at the beginning of this document, so when you visit other websites, even when you click on a link posted on Obicast, you should read their own privacy policies.
