Protecting your privacy is important to OEN. We strive to keep
your personal information confidential. By ensuring that you are aware
of and understand the OEN Privacy Policy, we can provide you with
better service. Please take a moment to read the following policy to
learn how we handle your personal information.
Why we collect personal information
OEN collects two types of information: personal data such as
zip code, email address and demographic information from its members;
and aggregated data such as information about traffic patterns from
visitors at oen.org (for example, how many users log on to oen.org on a
daily basis). We use your personal information to keep you up to date
on the latest event announcements and other information we think you'd
like to hear about. We send you this information via both electronic
and direct mail. We use aggregated data to help manage your experience
on our web site and to help us create a more useful web experience for
visitors to oen.org.
When we disclose personal information
OEN occasionally shares the contact information of its members
with other non-profit organizations in order to keep you informed about
other relevant events and programs in the business community. We only
share such information if we can use a bonded third-party that agrees
not to disclose this information to any one or any organization. They
will protect your personal information in accordance with the OEN
Privacy Policy. If you do not want to receive promotional information
from OEN or other non-profit organizations, please contact us at info@oen.org
or at 503-222-2270.
How we protect your personal information
OEN safeguards the security of the data you send us with
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. We urge you to take
every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the
Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and
numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
OEN uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To
pay for events or membership in OEN on this site, you must use an
SSL-enabled browser such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, Internet
Explorer, Mozilla, or Safari. This protects the confidentiality of your
personal and credit card information while it is transmitted over the
Internet.
Access to your personal information
You always have access to the information we track about you.
To review and update your personal contact information, simply click My
Account under the Members Only menu. If you would like to review other
personal information that OEN may have about you, email us at info@oen.org.
What
are cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes
an anonymous unique identifier. Any web site can send its own cookie to
your browser if your browser's preferences allow it; however, to
protect your privacy, your browser only permits a site to access the
cookies it has already sent to you, not those sent to you by other
sites. When you visit the OEN on the web, our site asks your computer
for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive
specifically designated for cookies.
How do we use information we collect from cookies?
As you navigate the OEN site, the site uses its cookies to
differentiate you from other visitors so your personal information is
only available to you. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's
log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people
visiting our site and which parts of the site are most popular. This
helps us gather feedback in order to
constantly improve our site and better serve our customers. Cookies do
not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not
generally store any personal information that you provided to us in
your cookies.
Our organizations commitment to privacy
To make sure your personal information remains confidential,
we communicate these privacy guidelines to every OEN
employee.
OEN's website contains links to other sites. OEN does not
share your personal information with those websites and is not
responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn
about the privacy policies of those companies.
If we are going to use your personal information differently
from that stated at the time of collection, we will try to contact you
via email using the most recent information we have. If you have not
given us permission to communicate with you, you will not be contacted,
nor will we use your personal information in a new manner.
OEN’s Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We
encourage you to review the privacy policy regularly for any
changes.
