If you do not provide personal information requested of you to Open Formula or, withdraw your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information at any time (subject to contractual and legal restrictions and reasonable notice), we may be unable to provide you the products or services you have requested or contact you in the future.

WEBSITE BROWSING TRACKING

This website uses Lucky Orange: a website analytics tool that provides session replay, heat-maps, funnels, form analytics, feedback campaigns, and similar features/functionality. Lucky Orange may record your clicks, mouse movements, scrolling, form fills (keystrokes) in non-excluded fields (Password field data or sensitive information is never recorded or transmitted. No matter what.), pages visited and content, time on site, browser, operating system, device type (desktop/tablet/phone), screen resolution, visitor type (first time/returning), referrer, anonymized IP address, location (city/country), language, and similar meta data. All data sent to Lucky Orange servers is anonymous. So, without changing any settings in Lucky Orange, all keystroke data is transmitted to Lucky Orange servers as asterisks. We simply see anonymous recordings of mouse movements, clicks, and scrolls. The only piece of personally identifiable information might be the IP address (according to some countries). Because of this, Lucky Orange also includes a feature that anonymizes each visitor’s IP address by stripping off its last three digits. Lucky Orange does not collect any information on pages where it is not installed, nor does it track or collect information outside your web browser. If you’d like to opt-out, you can do so at https://privacy.luckyorange.com/.

DATA QUALITY AND SECURITY

Open Formula takes reasonable steps to:

a)     make sure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date;

b)     protect the personal information that we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and

c)     where permitted by law, destroy or permanently de-identify personal information that is no longer needed for purposes for which it was collected.

Open Formula’s credit card transactions are fulfilled by an authorised banking institution. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, Open Formula offers secured server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to help prevent others from accessing it. Personal information is stored on servers that are protected by appropriate safeguards, and will be accessible by authorised employees and agents who require access in connection with their responsibilities. Your credit card details are encrypted and handled by a third-party PCI compliant payment gateway.

UNSOLICITED PERSONAL INFORMATION

We don’t usually collect unsolicited personal information.

Where we receive unsolicited personal information, we’ll determine whether or not it would have been permissible to collect that personal information if it had been solicited.

If we determine that collection would not have been permissible, to the extent permitted by law, we’ll destroy or de-identify that personal information as soon as practicable.

ANONYMITY

Open Formula will generally provide individuals with the option of not identifying themselves when entering into transactions when it is lawful and practicable to do so. However, on many occasions, we will not be able to do this. For example, we will need your address in order to deliver any products purchased through our website.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OVERSEAS

Open Formula may, in the course of carrying out our business, disclose personal information to overseas affiliates and service providers.
