When we have your consent or the consent of your parent or guardian (such as allowing you to register for an account on one of our sites or to provide you with advertising or marketing materials). You or your parent or guardian can withdraw consent at any time, but keep in mind that withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of the processing of your data before the consent was withdrawn.
We need to use your personal information to perform our responsibilities under a contract with you (e.g., providing the products or services you have requested, or allowing you to enter a promotion or a competition, or inform you that you’ve won).
We have a legitimate interest in processing your personal information.

How We Store the Information We Collect
We maintain reasonable technical and organizational steps to help ensure that information collected is secure, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers and use of electronic security systems and password protections which guard against unauthorized access. We limit access to visitor’s information to employees and contractors who are authorized for the proper handling of such information. We also take reasonable steps to help make sure our third-party agents protect the security of your personal data. Information collected at Online Verified Opportunities’s Sites will not be stored for longer than is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or to otherwise meet legal requirements.
Information We Share with Third Parties
Sometimes we need third parties to carry out services for us.

We currently use the online service Mailchimp to assist with our regular email newsletter (Mailchimp is operated by The Rocket Science Group LLC, USA). We will make sure that these third parties keep your information secure; only keep the information for so long as is necessary; and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Apart from the above, we may pass on your information to third parties in the following circumstances:
we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to comply with legal obligations;
if disclosing the information is necessary to perform our responsibilities under a contract with you;
in the context of any sale or transaction involving all or a portion of the business, or as may be required or permitted by law or required for the purposes of any regulatory audit to which we may be subject from time to time; and
with your (or your parents’/guardians’) consent.
Finally, we share information that is generic and doesn’t identify you, such as whether you’re male or female and how you watch our programmes. We may use such information (in whole or in part) to identify trends and may pass this to third parties, such as advertisers and business partners to give them a better understanding of our business.
What Information Others May Collect
In accordance with applicable law, and with your consent or your parents’ or guardians’ consent, where required, third parties may collect, use or disclose cookie information, IP addresses, or other identifiers from devices and/or browsers of users who visit Online Verified Opportunities’s Sites for the purposes of supporting the operations of Online Verified Opportunities’s Sites, which can include, for example:

While these third parties or advertisers, cannot access the Tracking Technologies that we set, they may themselves set and access their own Tracking Technologies on your device if you choose to have Tracking Technologies enabled in your browser. The use of such technology by these third parties is within their control and not Online Verified Opportunities’ Sites.
