Protection of Personally Identifiable Information
We store information using reasonable industry standards, including technically feasible physical, technical, and administrative safeguards against foreseeable risks, such as unauthorized access. Our website and data storage are run on software, hardware, and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance or experience problems or breaches of security which are beyond our control. We cannot guarantee the security of the information contained on or sent from our website. No transmission of data over the internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under our control to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. We are not responsible for the acts and/or omissions of any third parties. While we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us over the internet. Any such transmission is done at your own risk.
Retention of Information Collected
We will keep the data we collect long enough to achieve the specified objective for which that data was collected, and as required for state and federal accountability.
We may provide direct links to other websites that operate independently of OpenNetworks. Please be mindful that other websites may not follow the same privacy guidelines as OpenNetworks. We are not responsible for and have no control over the content, acts, or privacy policies of the websites to which we may provide direct links. Our inclusion of a link to another website on our site does not constitute endorsement of that website, nor does it constitute endorsement of the entity that controls that website.
This Privacy Statement may be revised from time to time as we add new features and services; as laws change; and as industry privacy and security best practices evolve. The effective date for any revisions to this Privacy Statement will constitute notice of changes to material contained within this Privacy Statement, and changes will apply to any information collected on the date of revision posting, as well as to any information we already hold. Your continued use of this website following our posting of changes to these terms signifies your acceptance of those changes.
