KNOWLEDGE BASEGENERAL PRIVACY POLICY

This document was last updated on July 3rd, 2022.

This document entails the general privacy policy, covering all osk services. Specific services may override it as necessary — please refer to their respective documents for more information.

1. INTRODUCTION

osk offers a wide variety of services to users from almost every country around the world, with vibrant communities and many opportunities for users to share their creativity with others.

In order to offer these services to you, we must often collect, store and transmit personal information. We strive to be as transparent as possible in every aspect of running our services, and this privacy policy should bring us even closer to that goal.

This document aims to describe what information we collect on our network and in the use of our products and services, how we use that information and what options we offer you to control your personal information.

By using our services, you confirm that you have read and understood the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, including how and why we use your information and that your use of the services is subject to the applicable Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy. If you do not want us to collect or process your personal information as described herein, you have several choices including limiting the information we collect on you, or not using the Network, or our Products and Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain osk services may publish their own terms, conditions and notices. By visiting and/or using said services, you also acknowledge their respective privacy policies. In the event that a service-specific policy clashes or otherwise conflicts with any of the policies in this document, the service-specific policy shall take precedence.

In addition to this policy, please also make sure to visit our Terms of Service.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

osk services may use the self-hosted analytics service Matomo as well as data generated by normal usage of the Service to collect analytics data about the way you find and interact with the Service. This data includes information like what device you are using, what technologies your browser supports and information sent by your browser. This data is stored on-premises and, with the exception of general anonymous aggregate statistics, is never shared publicly.

3. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We do not send any unsolicited emails. The only emails you will receive from us are the result of an action on our service (such as requesting two-factor authentication, purchasing a product or enabling notifications for a discussion).

We may employ third-party companies and individuals for the following reasons:

We want to inform our Service users that these third parties have access to (parts of) your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

4. YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTROL

As a user you have the right to migrate, update or delete your personal information. This can be done primarily from the user settings, or where not available from an "Edit" feature on the relevant section of our site.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS.

It is possible to opt-out of analytics data collection done through Matomo. This can be done by configuring your browser to send a Do-Not-Track header with your requests. Some ad-blockers also block analytics data collection.

As a user you have the options of requesting your data and/or deleting it from our service. You may do so by contacting us.

5. COOKIES

We use cookies, like most of the internet. We strictly use them to maintain your session state and login credentials across multiple sessions, as well as to collect analytics data (see 4. YOUR RIGHTS AND CONTROL). If you do not wish for cookies to be stored, please do not use our services.

6. DATA SECURITY

Security is very important to us. All osk services follow accepted standards to protect your personal information during processing, transferring, and storage. We ensure all sites on our domain are encrypted via TLS and maintain high standards in data security for access to our servers, restricting access to your personal data when we do not need to access it.

7. CHILDREN

Our services are not designed for children under the age of 13. If we discover that a person under the age of 13 has submitted personal information to us without parental permission, we will endeavour to delete the information from our systems.

8. LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Our Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately, after they are posted on this page.
