Privacy Policy

Ooonimals respects your privacy rights and recognizes the importance of protecting your personal information. Our Privacy Notice describes the kinds of personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we share it, and choices we give you.

We also recognize the need to provide additional protections for kids who visit and/or use our Services.

Ooonimals is a participating member of the Children's Advertising Review Unit's (“CARU”) COPPA Safe Harbor Program (“CARU Safe Harbor”).

What does this Privacy Notice cover?

Our Privacy Notice applies to the collection and processing of personal information by Ooonimals LLC. and our subsidiaries and affiliated companies acting on our behalf (collectively “Ooonimals” or “we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Notice applies only to personal information collected about you as a consumer through the Ooonimals website, as well as apps, features, services, events, and communications provided by Ooonimals where this Privacy Notice is posted (“Services”).

Our international affiliates and third-party websites or apps that our Services link to, or with whom we may have a presence, or with whom we may license use of our trademarks and copyrights, may collect and use personal information for their own purposes. Where they do so, their respective privacy notices apply.

What personal information is collected about you?

We don't require personal information to use many of our Services. If you choose not to disclose personal information, however, you will not be able to enjoy certain features of our Services.

Information you provide to us
The types of personal information we collect directly from you include contact information, such as your first and last name, email address, telephone number, and postal address, as well as content you share or upload, such as photos (including any metadata included in your photos and content) and payment information (for example, credit card numbers or financial account information) if you purchase a product or service from us. We may also collect demographic information tied to your personal information, such as your age and/or date of birth, gender, country of residence, hobbies, and toy and game preferences.

Information we collect automatically
We automatically collect certain information when you use our Services. For example, we may collect device information, such as your device type, operating system type, browser type, device ID, and IP address. We may also collect usage data, such as what website you were on that brought you to our website, when you used our Services and for how long, what pages and content you accessed, and features you used on our Services. We may derive other information from the information we collect, such as your general location from your IP address. In addition, with your consent, the Services may access precise geolocation data on your mobile device to enable features and deliver content based on your current location. We may combine this device and usage information with other personal information.

Cookies and Tracking
Our websites use a variety of technical methods for collecting and tracking device information and usage data, including web beacons, cookies, local storage, and device IDs.

Cookies are small pieces of text that may be saved on your device when you view our website. We and other companies use unique identifiers in cookies to distinguish your device for a variety of purposes, including helping you navigate our website with ease, remembering your preferences and interests, and tracking your online activities over time and across different websites and online services.

Web beacons are small pieces of data often embedded in images on the pages of our websites and emails. These beacons may request information from our servers or third-party servers to allow download of content and information. Beacons may also be used to set and read cookies. We also use beacons in HTML emails to determine if you open emails or click on links in emails.

Device IDs are unique identifiers for your devices. We and others may collect and use device IDs for tracking activities and usage of our Services, such as how you use our mobile apps.

We may collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your device using local storage mechanisms. Local storage allows data to be stored across web browser sessions. We collect this information for customer support purposes and to send you more relevant marketing.

How is your personal information used?

We use your personal information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests in performing our contract with you, or based on consent where we have requested it, and for our legitimate business objectives, including to:

• Provide you with and operate, maintain, optimize, and improve our products, services, operations, and the security of our Services
• Personalize content and experiences on our Services, including providing you recommendations based on your preferences

• Perform operational tasks such as billing, accounting, communicating, and fulfilling your transactions for products and services
• Send and display administrative and marketing communications about Ooonimals and our partners and our respective products and services
• Detect, investigate, and prevent activities that are unauthorized, may violate our terms and policies, or may be illegal, such as fraudulent activity or security violations

For the purposes listed above, we may also link or combine information about you with other personal information we receive from third parties. We also use personal information in settings and for the purposes described below.

We may store and process personal information in the United States and in other countries that may not have the same types of data protection laws as those in your country.

Third-party cookies used for analytics and advertising
Ooonimals uses third parties that may also use their own cookies, web beacons, local storage, device IDs, and other tracking data to assist us with analytics and advertising. Some third parties, including advertisers and ad-related services, may also help us and others associate your activities across your browsers and mobile devices you use for retargeting, advertising, and ad measurement purposes. We and others may also use email tracking technologies to monitor the success of email marketing campaigns (for example, recording how many emails in a campaign were opened).

Please consult the respective privacy policies and statements of these third parties for more information about how they use your data. For examples of privacy notices of third parties who use cookies for tracking, please refer to the chart below:

4. How is your personal information shared?

We do not share your personal information with third parties other than as follows:

• With your consent; for example, when you agree to our sharing your information with other third parties for their own purposes, subject to their separate privacy policies
• With third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who work for us and need to access your personal information to do that work
• If you've selected options available through our Services to publicly display your name and/or username and your other information
• If appropriate to (a) comply with laws or to respond to lawful requests and legal processes, including, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena; (b) protect the rights and property of Ooonimals, our agents, our customers, and others, including to enforce our terms, policies, rules, and agreements; (c) protect the safety and security of any person; and/or (d) protect the safety and security of Ooonimal's and our partners' Services, websites, and applications
• In connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction, or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture, or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets for use in accordance with applicable law

Your California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers who are California residents to request certain information regarding disclosure of personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not share our customers' personal information with unaffiliated third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent. For inquiries about our disclosure policy, please contact us at the email address or postal address listed below.

5. How long do we keep your personal information?

Ooonimals keeps your personal information for as long as appropriate to maintain your accounts, to provide Services, to fulfill your requests, for legal compliance and enforcement purposes, and for resolving disputes. Actual retention periods depend on a variety of factors, such as the type of product, the type and sensitivity of the data, business needs, customer expectations and needs, the types of available user controls, and the form in which the data is stored.

6. What choices do you have about processing your personal information?

We provide you with various controls over your personal information, for example:

• You can contact us at irene@ooonimals.com with requests to delete, access, and update your personal information.
• You can opt out of our promotional emails by clicking "unsubscribe" in those emails.
• You can choose to block and/or remove all cookies and local storage. You can do this through your browser (such as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer) settings. If you remove or block cookies and local storage, you won't have access to many features that make your experience smoother and more personalized, and some of our Services may not function properly. Since certain opt-out preferences are also stored in a cookie in your browser (such as opt-outs from advertising companies), please note that if you remove all cookies, you will need to renew your opt-out choices. Some internet browsers may transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because uniform standards for "Do Not Track" signals have not been adopted, our websites may not be aware of or process "Do Not Track" signals.
• You can also opt out of many of the third-party analytics and advertising cookies as described in the Privacy Notice in the Third-party cookies used for analytics and advertising section above by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
• You can opt out of our advertising on mobile apps by using the advertising settings in your mobile device.
• You can prevent tracking of emails we send you by changing your settings to turn off HTML or disable downloading of images. In addition, you may also unsubscribe from our marketing emails by following the instructions in those emails.

7. What steps do we take to safeguard your personal information?

We implement technical, organizational, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and improper use. However, please understand that despite our best efforts, no security measure is perfect or impenetrable.

8. Product-specific data processing details

The following are product-specific details to supplement the information in this Privacy Notice.

Ooonimals Apps
Ooonimals will keep your personal information within a Ooonimals app for as long as you keep the app on your device. If you create an account, the app sends your personal information to our servers. We keep your data for as long as you maintain an account and for 90 days after you disable the account, in case you choose to reactivate the account or in case the request to disable the account was in error. Certain apps may give you the option to receive push notifications. You can turn push notifications on or off through settings within the app or your device. You may disable our access to your precise geolocation data through settings in your device.

If you provide information to create an account or as part of a transaction, payment, or other account action, Ooonimals may deliver marketing communications to you about similar goods or services if you have not opted out of such marketing when given the chance to do so. We may also use third parties, such as Authorize.net, PayPal and Amazon Pay, to process payment transactions and facilitate fraud protection. PayPal, Amazon and other third-party entities may use your information for their own purposes, including to service accounts you have with them. Please review their respective privacy notices to understand how they use your information.

We transfer personal data from the European Economic Area and Switzerland to other countries, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection. When we do, we use a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, so that your rights and protections travel with your data.

We also comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework with respect to the collection, use, and retention of personal information transferred from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States. We have certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that we adhere to the Privacy Shield Principles, and we are subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. If there is any conflict between the terms in this Privacy Notice and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern. To learn more about the Privacy Shield program, and to view our certification page, please visit https://www.privacyshield.gov.

In compliance with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Principles, Ooonimals commits to resolve complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your personal information. European Union or Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding this Privacy Notice should first contact us at a customerservice@ooonimals.com.

Ooonimals has further committed to refer unresolved privacy complaints under the Privacy Shield Principles to an independent dispute resolution mechanism, the BBB EU PRIVACY SHIELD, operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus (“BBB”). If we do not appropriately address your complaint, visit http://www.bbb.org/EU-privacy-shield/for-eu-consumers for more information and to file a complaint with the BBB.

Supplemental Kids' Privacy Notice

OUR ADDITIONAL PRIVACY COMMITMENT TO KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS

Ooonimals has developed its Services with the goal of creating an enjoyable experience for all users. Building on our general Privacy Notice, we recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections when kids visit the Services on which this Kids' Privacy Notice is posted. This Kids' Privacy Notice is designed to answer your questions regarding our privacy policies and principles with respect to kids. As used in this Notice, “children”, “child”, and “kid(s)” refer to children under the age of 13, except for those jurisdictions where the privacy law specifies a different age. Also, when we use the term “parent”, we include legal guardians.

1. What types of information do we collect about kids?

Our guests can use some of our Services, view content, and enjoy many features without registering for an account or our collection of any personal information subject to COPPA.

If a user has indicated that they are a kid when trying to create a Ooonimals account, we will collect a parent's email address and obtain verifiable parental consent before allowing the kid to provide any additional personal information. See below to learn how we seek parental consent.

Once we obtain parental consent, a kid can use our services much like any other user. And we may collect from the kid the same types of personal information, and use and share that information for the same purposes, as described in the general Privacy Notice.

We receive information from our guests directly and from third parties. We collect personal information from parents on behalf of their kids to create an account for Ooonimal's Services.

Ooonimals does not condition participation in any of its Services for kids on the collection of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

2. How do we use and share the personal information that we collect from kids?

As noted above, once we obtain parental consent, a kid can use our Services much like any other user. And we may collect from the kid the same types of personal information, and use and share that information for the same purposes, as described in the general Privacy Notice. For example, once a parent has provided consent to create an account, a kid can:

• Participate in games, reward programs, contests, sweepstakes, events, or promotions
• Send us questions or correspond with us via email or our customer support portal concerning the Services or the kid's participation in organized events
• Participate in polls, surveys, or questionnaires
• Use our Email-a-Friend or Trade-With-a-Friend feature and participate in “canned chat,” where a kid can select words from a list prepared by Ooonimals to send messages to other website and app users
• Enable push notifications (you can turn push notification on or off by modifying the settings within the applicable Service, or within your device's settings)

Note that some Services may enable a kid to publicly disclose personal information and/or communicate with other users.

Until we receive verifiable parental consent, the parent's contact information gathered from a kid is used only to obtain the parent's consent for our information collection practices.

With parental consent, we may also use a kid's contact information to send the kid emails and messages with promotional information about new products and features, special offers, contests, and sweepstakes, as well as other interesting information concerning new products, events, and updates about Ooonimals. Parents can always choose whether their kid may receive these promotional messages by visiting their account profile settings or contacting us.

If a kid wins a prize from a sweepstakes, contest, or other promotional event, we will notify the parent at the parent's email address and request that the parent provide their postal address for the purpose of delivering the prize. With the appropriate consent, we may publish a winner's first name, city, state of residence, and country.

Ooonimals shares kids' personal information with the same entities and for the same purposes described in the general Privacy Notice.

3. How do we notify and obtain consent from parents for the collection of personal information from their kids?

When a kid seeks to register with our Services, we will email their parent. This email notifies the parent that their kid wishes to register, and it asks the parent to create an account to grant consent for their kid to register. If the parent ignores or refuses to register their kid, we will delete the kid and parent's contact information within 14 days of such notice. If the parent permits the registration, we will grant the kid access to the features described in the email and this Privacy Notice.

To help verify that the parent is the person providing consent, Ooonimals (in the US in conjunction with Veratad, a leading age and identity verification company) asks for the sum of the first and last digit of the parent's Social Security number, as well as other pieces of information to verify the parent's identity, such as name, birth date, and physical address. Note that Ooonimals does NOT store this information anywhere in our records.

Parents can revoke consent at any time by contacting our customer service department and submitting by emailing irene@ooonimals.com.

4. How can parents access, change, or delete personal information about their kids?

At any time, a parent can log into their Ooonimals account to access their “My Account” section or contact our customer service department to access or change the personal information in their kid's account.

A parent may delete the personal information that we have collected from their kid by submitting a request by emailing customerservice@ooonimals.com The parent should include their kid's username and the parent's email address in the email so that we can better assist with the inquiry or request.

5. How will we notify parents if our Kids' Privacy Notice changes?

We may amend our Kids' Privacy Notice at any time; when we do so, we will change the last updated date. We will notify parents of any material changes in the way we intend to process kids' personal information. We will apply material changes to our Kids' Privacy Notice only when the changes are in compliance with applicable law, including any parental consent requirements.
