Privacy Policy
Oriental Shipping & Clearing Agency has created this privacy policy to demonstrate
our firm commitment to protecting your personal information and informing you about
how we handle it. This privacy policy only applies to transactions and activities
in which you engage, and data gathered, on the Oriental Shipping & Clearing Agency
Website and double blind email communications between The Love Link members (collectively,
the "Site") but does not apply to any other Website or offline point of contact
between Oriental Shipping & Clearing Agency, or any other company, and consumers.
Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may modify it from time to
time. This privacy policy was last revised on August, 2013. Each time you visit
the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices
described in this privacy policy at that time.
Your IP Address
Like most Websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your
IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize
the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our Site, we use your IP address
to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you.
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and to provide you with information about products
or services that may be of interest to you, we may collect "personal information"
(i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly (without using the
Site) such as full name, postal address, phone number or email address), "financial
information" (i.e. credit card numbers or passwords) or "demographic information"
(i.e. information that you submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal
information nor financial information; this may include, but is not limited to,
postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, browsing history information,
searching history information, registration history information, and the content
of communications between you and other members over the Site), subject to the rest
of this paragraph. Demographic information is divided into two categories: 1) "non-public
information", which consists of one-on-one communications between you and other
users of the Site; and 2) "public information", which consists of all other demographic
information. We ask that you do not enter personal information or financial information
into your “Profile” (for example, don't use your address or pass code as your username,
or include your name or address in your written responses), because if you do then
it may be posted publicly on the Site, and the information will then be treated
as "demographic information" that is "public information."
Information Other Websites Collect From You
On the Site, we place links to other Websites operated by other parties. Some of
these other Websites contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual
property that we own; others do not. When you click on these links and visit these
other Websites, regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks
and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not control these
other Websites or these other Websites' business practices, and that this privacy
policy does not apply to these other Websites. Consequently, the operators of these
other Websites may collect different kinds of information about you, and may use
and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were collected
on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that
we will not be responsible for their actions.
How We Use Personal Information
We use your email address and your other personal information to help us efficiently
operate the Site, to contact you in connection with your transactions and other
activities on the Site (including, but not limited to, confirmation emails or important
news that could affect your relationship with Oriental Shipping & Clearing). These
types of communications are known as "Operational Communications." In some cases,
Operational Communications may also contain commercial messages, such as banner
ads and special offers.
We also use personal information to send you newsletters, information, offers and
other promotional materials for Oriental Shipping & Clearing Agency or third parties'
goods or services. We attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, such
as discounts, exclusive offers or special event information. The Site provides you
with options to decline to receive communications from Oriental Shipping & Clearing
Agency (other than those contained in Operational Communications). Some of these
options may only be for a certain category of communications; others may be more
general. To stop receiving Oriental Shipping & Clearing Agency by Mail, go to the
contact us form and send us a mail to this effect.
To operate the Site, including processing your transactions and supporting your
activities on the Site, we may share your personal information with our agents,
representatives, contractors and service providers so they can provide us with support
services such as authorization of credit card transactions, email origination, receipt
or support services, customer relationship management services, order fulfillment
and sweepstakes and promotional fulfillment. We require these entities not to use
your information for any other purpose.
By purchasing, or registering or making reservations for, products or services offered
or sponsored by third parties on the Site, or electing to receive communications
(such as emails or magazine subscriptions) or electing to participate in contests,
sweepstakes or other programs (such as discount or rewards programs), offered or
sponsored by third parties on the Site, you consent to our providing your personal
information to those third parties. Those third parties may use your personal information
in accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact those third
parties to instruct them directly regarding your preferences for the use of your
personal information by them. Additionally, you agree that we may use and disclose
all such information so submitted to such third parties in the same manner in which
we are entitled to use and disclose any other information you submit to us.
Our Security Precautions
The Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information under our control. Our secure server software (SSL)
is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure
commerce transactions. We encrypt all of your personal and financial information
as it travels over the Internet and we store your financial information on our servers
in encrypted form. Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computer
networks which may be located outside of the state, province, country or other governmental
jurisdiction in which you reside, and the country or jurisdiction in which these
computer networks are located may not have privacy laws as protective as the laws
in your country or jurisdiction.
Changing our Privacy Policy for Previously Gathered Information
If at any point we decide to use particular personally identifiable information
in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email or by providing 30 days notice on the Site. Please note
that we will continue to have the right to change our privacy policy and practices,
and how we use your personally identifiable information, without notice, as described
in the first paragraph of this Privacy Policy, provided that such changes shall
only apply to information gathered on or after the date of the change.
How You Can Access and Update Your Email Preferences, Personal Information and Public
Information
We give you the opportunity to opt-out of certain communications and modify personal
information or demographic information you have provided to us, and to hide demographic
information from, or make demographic information visible to, the public users of
the Site, at anytime by going to the Account Settings or My Profile section of the
Site. Please be aware that it may take several hours for the changes you make to
take effect on the public areas of the Site. We thank you for your patience. Please
note that changing or otherwise opting-out of receipt of email communications from
Oriental Shipping & Clearing Agency will only change or delete the data in our database
for purposes of future activities on the Site and for managing future communications
from Oriental Shipping & Clearing Agency. These changes and deletions will not change
or delete emails or information that we may have already forwarded to other users
or credit card companies or any other third parties, all as provided above in this
privacy policy.
If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy, the practices of
the Site, or your dealings with the Site, you can contact us.
