4. Third Party Services

While Ossian does not share personal data with third parties, this Privacy Policy only applies to personal data that Ossian collects, processes and discloses and does not apply to the collection, processing and disclosure of data by third parties through third-party services, including Google Analytics, which may be broader than set forth in this Privacy Policy, and that may be embedded into the Service. Should you choose to opt out of data collected through Google Analytics, you may do so by (1) going to the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout; or (2) downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Brower Add-on.

We strongly recommend that you read each third party privacy policy carefully before using the Service. Please contact us directly using the information found below if you would like to learn more about third party data practices.

This Privacy Policy does not cover the data and information collection practices of third parties. When you click on a third party logo or URL displayed on the Service which links you to a third party service, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you. We strongly recommend that you read each third party privacy policy carefully before using the services of such third parties.

7. Data Storage, Retention and Transfers

While Ossian is a Canadian company, the data you provide through the Service may be stored and processed by third parties in countries around the world. You authorize Ossian to process your data in any country of their choosing, which may cause your data, including personal and anonymous data, to be subject to privacy protections and legal rights that may not be equivalent to those in your country.

Your personal data is retained until you request its deletion or until Ossian no longer requires such data for the purpose for which it was collected or until required to be deleted by laws applicable in your jurisdiction. Please email us at privacy@ossianstudios.com to delete any personal data we hold.

8. Children

Ossian complies with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and all other applicable laws and regulations concerning children and the Internet. The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you are a parent or guardian of a child who you believe provided Ossian with personal information without your consent, please contact us at privacy@ossianstudios.com.

We respect the privacy of children and encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in managing their children’s online activities. If you are under the age of majority, please make sure you have consent from you parent and/or guardian before using the Services. Some of our Services are not available for use for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in connection with those Services.

9. Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web or device setting that allows users to request that receivers of personal data stop their tracking activities. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser or device or use alternative consumer choice mechanisms, your browser or device sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, advertising networks, plug in providers and other web services you encounter to stop tracking your activity. Currently, there are no DNT technology standards, and it is possible that there may never be any DNT technology standards. As a result, we do not respond to DNT requests.

10. Change of Ownership or Business Transition

In the event of, or in preparation for, a change of ownership or control of Ossian or a business transition such as the sale of Ossian or the sale or license of some or all Ossian’s assets, we may disclose and/or transfer your personal and anonymous data to third parties who will have the right to continue to collect and use such data in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy.

11. Security

We are committed to ensuring that your data is secure. To prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or breach, we put in place suitable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect and process. Despite the foregoing, no server, computer or communications network or system, or data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect user information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through the Service and you acknowledge and agree that you provide such information and engage in such transmissions at your own risk.

12. Contact Preferences

We may communicate with you through the Service itself, but we may sometimes communicate with you via your email address in order to respond to support requests or comments. If you have provided us with your email address and would like to change the email preferences we associate with you (for example, unsubscribing from receiving certain types of email), you may do so by clicking a link within certain types of emails that we send to you or, if no link is available, by replying with “unsubscribe” in the email title or body or by modifying your email settings within the Service. On rare occasions, some emails are necessary for the Service and cannot be unsubscribed from if you continue to use the Service.

13. Updates

Ossian reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Privacy Policy at any time (“Updates”) and shall make Updates available on the Website. You are deemed to accept Updates by continuing to use the Service. Unless Ossian states otherwise, Updates are automatically effective 30 days after posting on the Website.
