OpenTech Alliance, Inc. Corporate Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2023

OpenTech Alliance, Inc. and our brands, which include, but are not limited to, INNSOMNIAC (collectively, “OpenTech,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), are committed to providing our website users, tenants, customers, and business partners with clear and concise information regarding our privacy policy and practices. We respect the privacy of our customers and users and have developed this Policy to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your privacy.

1. Scope of this Policy

This Policy is intended to describe our policy and practices with respect to the collection, use, disclosure, and data processing of personal information relating to users of our websites, apps, products, and services, while emphasizing the importance of consent and opt-in mechanisms.

For the purposes of this Policy, the term “websites” shall refer collectively to www.opentechalliance.com as well as the other websites that we operate and that link to this Policy.

In this Policy, personal information means information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, and/or online identifier or to one or more factors specific to his/her physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity. Personal information does not include aggregate information or de-identified information, meaning that the information can no longer be attributed to an identifiable natural person without the use of additional information.

We are committed to obtaining users’ consent and offering opt-in choices whenever required or appropriate, such as when collecting personal information, using personal information for marketing purposes. We will provide clear and conspicuous notice of the purposes for which personal information is collected, and users will be given the opportunity to actively agree to or opt-in to these purposes.

Personal information is required for us to be able to provide the services to you. In addition, some of the services we provide require that we disclose your personal information to third parties, such as to companies that help us to provide our services or process data on our behalf. If you are not willing to provide your personal information and have it disclosed to third parties in accordance with this Policy, you will not be able to use our services. Subject to certain legal obligations that may require retention or processing of the data. In cases where legal obligations apply, total withdrawal of consent may not be available. Refer to the Contact Us section for the methods of withdrawing consent.

Our websites and apps may contain links to other websites that do not operate under this Policy. These third-party websites may independently solicit and collect personal information from you and, in some instances, provide us with information about your activities on those websites. Third party advertisers may also utilize cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information regarding your website interactions and activities. These third-party technologies may be utilized by those entities to provide targeted advertising and web links based upon your activities and preferences. If you choose to interact with specific advertisers who advertise on our sites, the information you provide to them is subject to the conditions of their specific privacy policies and in no way covered by the practices described in this policy.

While we strongly support the protection of privacy on the Internet, we do not have control over, and cannot be responsible for, the actions of other third parties. We encourage you to review each such third party’s privacy statement and other otherwise understand its privacy practices, before providing personal information directly to it.

This Policy does not create rights enforceable by third parties.

Restrict the processing of your data: In some cases, you may request that we limit the processing of your personal data. This may occur when you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful, but you oppose the deletion of the data, or we no longer need the data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Obtain a file of your personal data: You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. This enables you to transfer the data to another data controller easily.
Object to the processing of your data: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data when processing is based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing your data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Withdraw your consent for processing: If we have asked for your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Please note that these rights may be limited in certain situations. For instance, we may deny your request for access when necessary to protect the rights and freedoms of other individuals, or refuse to delete your personal data if processing such data is required for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Supervisory Authority if you believe there has been a violation of your data protection rights.
