Our processing of personal information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number, will be undertaken consistent with the requirements of applicable privacy laws, including, but not limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act of 2021, the Colorado Privacy Act of 2021, and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act of 2022, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act of 2022, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, the Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act, the Tennessee Information Protection Act of 2023, the Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act of 2023, the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act of 2023, the Nebraska Data Privacy Act of 2024, the New Hampshire Privacy Act of 2024, and the New Jersey Data Privacy Act of 2024, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

In order to access and use certain areas or features of OpenTech Services, you consent to our collection and use of certain information about your use of OpenTech Services through the use of tracking technologies or by other passive means, including when you receive, open, engage, forward, and/or click through the Services. Your consent to our access and use of this “passively collected” information includes, but is not limited to, the domain name of the website that allowed you to navigate to OpenTech Services, search engines used, the internet protocol (IP) address used, the length of time spent on OpenTech Services, the pages you looked at on OpenTech Services, other webpages you visited before and after visiting OpenTech Services, the type of device and/or internet browser you have, the frequency of your visits to OpenTech Services, and other relevant statistics (collectively “Traffic Data”).
3. How We Collect Information
We collect information (including personal information and Traffic Data) when you use and interact with OpenTech Services, and in some cases from third-party sources. Such means of collection include:
- When you access, use, or contact us through OpenTech Services.
- When you voluntarily provide information through OpenTech Services.
- If you use a location-enabled browser, we may receive information about your location and device.
- Through Cookies, Web Beacons, analytics services, and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Tracking Tools”).
4. Tracking Tools, Behavioral Advertising, and Opt Out Options
4.1. Tracking Tools
We may use tools outlined below in order to provide OpenTech Services, advertise to, and better understand users.
- Cookies: “Cookies” are small computer files transferred to your device that contain information such as user ID, user preferences, lists of pages visited, and activities conducted while using OpenTech Services. We use Cookies to: (i) improve and tailor OpenTech Services, (ii) customize advertisements, (iii) measure performance, (iv) store authentication so re-entering credentials is not required, (v) customize user experiences, and for (vi) analytics and fraud prevention. For more information on Cookies, including how to control your Cookie settings and preferences, visit the website All About Cookies. You can also manage Cookies in your web browser (for example, Edge, Explorer, Chrome, Safari). If you choose to change your settings, you may find that certain functions or features of OpenTech Services will not work as intended. The following details the types of Cookies we use and why we use them:
- Absolutely Necessary Cookies. These Cookies are essential to enable you to move around a website and use its features. Without these Cookies, the web services for OpenTech Alliance websites may not function as expected, limiting your ability to interact with the website. (Examples: submitting a support ticket or adding items to an online order.)
- Performance Cookies. These Cookies collect information about how you use OpenTech Services. Information collected includes the Internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the website previously visited, the number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages viewed. These Cookies do not collect information that personally identifies you and only collect aggregated and anonymous information. Performance Cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of a website and enhance your experience.
- Functionality Cookies. These Cookies allow OpenTech Services to remember choices you make (such as your username, language preference, or the area or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These Cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of OpenTech Services. The information these Cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
- Web Beacons: “Web Beacons” (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files embedded in a web page or email that may be used to collect information about the use of OpenTech Services. The information collected by Web Beacons allows us to analyze how many people are using OpenTech Services, using selected publishers’ websites, or opening emails, and for what purpose.
- Web Service Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services in connection with OpenTech Services, including, for example, to register mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity and text typed into OpenTech Services. We use the information collected from these services to help make OpenTech Services easier to use and as otherwise set forth in Section 6 (How We Use Your Information). These analytics services generally do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it.
- Mobile Device Identifiers: As with other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help OpenTech learn more about our users’ demographics and Internet behaviors in order to personalize and improve OpenTech Services. Mobile device identifiers are data stored on mobile devices that may track activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of personal information (such as media access control, address, and location) and Traffic Data.
4.2. Behavioral Advertising
We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising. This means that some of our partners use Tracking Tools to collect information about a user’s online activities to display OpenTech ads to the user based on the user’s interests (“Behavioral Advertising”). Our partners may include third-party advertisers and other third-party service providers, and such partners may collect information when you use OpenTech Services, such as IP address, mobile device ID, operating system, and demographic information. These Tracking Tools help OpenTech learn more about our users’ demographics and Internet behaviors.
4.3. Options for Opting out of Cookies and Mobile Device Identifiers
If we process Cookies based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any point in time by contacting us at the following email addresses: dpo@opentechalliance.com or legal@opentechalliance.com. Please note, if you exercise this right, you may have to provide your consent on a case-by-case basis to enable you to utilize some or all OpenTech Services.
You may be able to reject Cookies and/or mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your browser or device. Although you are not required to accept OpenTech’s Cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through OpenTech Services.
You may opt out of receiving certain Cookies by visiting:
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt out page or Mobile Device Opt-Out Information
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt out page and installing the DAA’s AppChoices on your mobile device
When you use these opt-out features, an “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your device. If you delete Cookies, you may need to opt out again. You must opt out for each browser and device you wish to apply these features.
Even after opting out of Behavioral Advertising, you may still see advertisements that are not interest-based. Opting out does not mean we are no longer using Tracking Tools. We may still collect information about your use of our Services and serve advertisements based on information collected through our Services.
This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of Cookies and other Tracking Tools by any third parties, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party. Some third-party Cookies can continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Services.
4.4. “Do Not Track” (DNT) and Universal Opt-Out Preference Signals
Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want to have their online activity and behavior tracked. If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators, including OpenTech, do not proactively respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit the website All About DNT.
New standards are being developed for a Universal Opt-Out Mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which allows users with GPC-enabled browsers and devices to send a signal that will communicate the user’s request to opt-out of sales of their personal information and to opt-out of certain sharing of their personal information. The CPRA and other laws allow for the acceptance of Opt-Out Preference Signals such as the GPC, as an option for users to transmit an Opt-Out of selling/sharing personal information. If we detect and recognize such a signal from your device or browser, we will honor it.
5. Artificial Intelligence & Automated Decision-Making
We now or in the future employ artificial intelligence (AI) technologies (“AI Systems”) to enhance the performance and functionality of OpenTech Services, to include tailoring your experience through automated processing based on your activity. AI Systems analyze usage patterns, preferences, and other interactions to predict interests and preferences, improve service offerings, provide personalized content and advertising, and enhance user satisfaction.
By using OpenTech Services, you consent to the use of AI as described in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review your privacy settings regularly to ensure they continue to reflect your preferences.
For more information on your rights and how we use AI, or if you have any concerns about automated decision-making processes, please contact us at dpo@opentechalliance.com or legal@opentechalliance.com.
