Privacy Commitments Summary


Okanjo takes your privacy very seriously. We know that we want to see clear, easy-to-read information about privacy commitments and policy when we use sites so we are committed to offering the same on Okanjo’s Site. We have made our Privacy Policy (“Policy”) easy to find and easy to read. We are always listening and welcome your questions and feedback on our Policy, and invite you to contact us at [email protected].

Introduction


Our privacy commitments are fundamental to the way we do business every day. These apply to everyone who has a relationship with Okanjo—including customers, vendors and Site visitors. We strive to protect your privacy and to keep your personal information safe. We use powerful encryption and other security safeguards to protect customer data. We will not sell your personal information to anyone, for any purpose. Period. Our business processes are transparent so we will fully disclose our Policy in plain language, and make our Policy easily accessible to you. We will notify you of revisions to our Policy, in advance. No surprises. You have choices about how Okanjo uses your information for marketing purposes. You drive that bus and control this through your Preferences Settings.

Effective Date and Detailed Updating the Okanjo Privacy Policy


This Privacy Policy is effective as of the date you accept it. For new users, this Policy is effective upon acceptance; for current users, on December 1st, 2012 Okanjo reserves the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the changes. We may also give additional notice, such as an e-mail message or messaging within the Okanjo Site. You will be deemed to have accepted such changes by continuing to use the Site. Except as otherwise stated, all amended terms shall automatically be effective 30 days after they are initially posted. By using the Site, you accept and consent to this Policy and to our collection, use, disclosure and storage of your personal information as described in this Policy. If you do not accept this Policy, we ask that you refrain from use of the Site.

Links to Third Parties


The Site may contain links to third party sites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies, practices, or content of sites owned by others to which you may link or that may be linked from the Site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms and conditions of those sites so that you understand how those sites collect, use, and share your information. This Policy applies solely to the information that we collect from our Site and does not apply to information that Okanjo may collect by any alternative means or media.

California Privacy Rights


We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure, typically by “opting in” to receive information from a third party that is participating in a sweepstakes or other promotion on Okanjo. If you do ask Okanjo to share your personal information with a third party for its marketing purposes, We will only share information in connection with that specific promotion, as We do not share information with any third party (other than our service providers) on a continual basis. To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you provide personal information on one of our sites.

Children and Minors


This Site is not intended for children under the age of 18 and shall not be accessed or used by them. Okanjo does not knowingly or specifically collect personal information from users under 18 years of age. In the event that Okanjo becomes aware that it has collected personal information from a user under 18 years of age, Okanjo will take steps to delete such information from its database.

Collection of Information


You are not required to reveal any personal information about yourself to browse the Site. However, once you choose to share your personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of such information on our servers located in the United States.

The types of personal information collected may include your name, user name, address, email address, phone number, device ID, computer and connection information, statistics on page views, Site traffic, advertising data, IP address and standard web log information as examples. We may also collect non-personal and anonymous information to be used in an aggregate fashion. For example, we may collect your system-related information to be used for system administration purposes, to help diagnose problems, to monitor traffic patterns, to determine which services are used most frequently and to assess Site usage.

If you do not want to receive marketing communications from us or participate in our advertising customization programs, you may indicate your preference through your Preference Settings or as indicated in the communication or advertisement itself. We may aggregate your information with information we obtain from others companies and use it to enhance our services, content and advertisements.

Your User ID is displayed on the Site and is visible to the public in connection with your activity on Okanjo. The public may view your items for sale and ratings. Our communications with other members about potentially prohibited or illegal activity or violations of our Site policies may reference User IDs and particular items. If your User ID reflects your name, the people to whom you have revealed your name will be able to identify your activities on the Site.

Google Analytics


We use the Demographics and Interests features of Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics provides tools to help us to analyze users’ demographics and general interests, such as age, gender, affinity categories, and in-market segments on a non-personalized basis. Using cookies stored on your web browser, Google compiles reports analyzing use of the Site and the demographics and interests of Site users. Google may share the data it collects with other Google services and may use the data to contextualize and personalize ads of its own advertising network. You may opt out of all Google Analytics data collection at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices. You may also prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by installing a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Your Account


When creating a password, use unique numbers, letters and characters. Do not disclose your password to anyone. If you lose control over your password, you may lose control over the personal information in your account and may be legally bound by actions taken using your account. If you share your password with others, you are responsible for all actions taken through your account. If you access our Site Okanjo from a shared or publicly accessible location, your User ID, account activity or other information may be visible to other people who later use the computer.

If your password becomes compromised, immediately notify Okanjo and change your password by contacting us at [email protected].

You can see, review and change most of your personal information by logging into your Okanjo account. Because it is difficult to remotely authenticate your identity, usually we will not modify your personal account information. If your personally identifiable information changes, you may correct, update, amend, delete, or remove it, or if you no longer desire our service, you may deactivate it, by making the change on our member information page or by emailing our Customer Support at [email protected]. We will respond to your request to access within 30 days.

Public postings may not be able to be changed or deleted. At your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from public view as soon as reasonably possible, based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law.

Disclosure of Information


We may disclose your personal information to third parties when we believe, in good faith and in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) enforce or apply the User Agreement; (ii) comply with legal or regulatory requirements; (iii) protect the rights, property or safety of Okanjo, our users or other third parties; or (iv) prevent a crime or protect national security.

We may also disclose your personal information to (i) Okanjo affiliated companies, such as ShipJo, in order to provide content and/or services to you in conjunction with such affiliates or to detect, investigate and prevent violations of the policies of Okanjo or its affiliates; (ii) Okanjo-contracted third party service providers, including fraud investigators and bill collectors; (iii) other business entities, in connection with exploring a merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all of our assets; and (iv) third parties to whom you request Okanjo send your personal information or for whom you authorize such disclosure. Additionally, if Okanjo becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, Okanjo or its trustee in bankruptcy may disclose, sell, assign, license or otherwise transfer such information in a transaction approved by the appropriate court. If Okanjo mergers with, acquires or is acquired by, or sells substantially all of its assets to another entity, your personal information may be disclosed, transferred, assigned, licensed, distributed, and/or sold as part of Okanjo or its assets, to such other entity.

Using Information From Okanjo


To complete transactions and collect payments, Okanjo facilitates the exchange of personal and financial information between users. This Policy applies only to the use, disclosure and retention of information Okanjo collects from you and does not apply to information you share with third parties or that third parties share with you. Okanjo cannot guarantee the privacy or security of your personal information. Please review the privacy and security policies and practices of other users to whom you may disclose your personal information.

You agree to use the personal information of other users only for (i) using services offered through Okanjo (e.g., shipping); (ii) considering or completing permissible transactions; or (iii) other purposes for which you obtain a user’s written consent.

Cookies


From time to time, we may use “cookies”, “web beacons” or similar technology for the convenience of our users and to enhance your experience in using the Site. A cookie is a small text file that is recorded either temporarily or persistently on your hard drive by a web page server and is not used to deliver viruses or other harmful programs to your computer. Rather, cookies enable us to recognize a user without requiring the user to repeatedly log in when using the Site. Web beacons are graphics designed to collect web log information such as pages viewed or messages opened. You may decline Okanjo cookies as allowed by your browser; however, this may interfere with your use of our services or the Site. By relying on cookies, web beacons, and similar technology, we may be able to deliver a more efficient service that is more personalized for each user. Additionally, these technologies may allow us to monitor traffic patterns, Site usage, and session information to make the Site more useful.

Site Security and Personal Information


We use various security tools (e.g., encryption, passwords, and physical security) to protect your personal information, which is stored on servers located in the United States, against unauthorized access. Nevertheless, third parties or other users may attempt to unlawfully intercept or access communications, data, and personal information and may successfully obtain and misuse your personal information collected from our Site. As a result, despite our efforts to protect your privacy, you agree and understand that we cannot promise or guarantee the privacy of your personal information or communications.

Registration and Sharing Through Third-Party Services


We may offer single sign-on services that allow you to use third party login credentials to sign into Okanjo. With your permission, Okanjo may also transfer profile information contained in your third-party profile. Okanjo may also, for your use, enable you to import information about whom you are connected to, such as importing contacts from other third parties, as well as enable you to share information with those third-party sites. If you wish to discontinue such sharing, you will be able to do so through your Preference Settings. We collect the username and password for the email account you wish to import your contacts from and will use such information only for that purpose.

Notification of Privacy Statement Changes


We may update this privacy statement to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a notice on this Site Okanjo prior to the change becoming effective.
