OAT.dev Privacy Policy

Last Update Date: January 27, 2025

The Summary

We collect your information only with your consent; we only collect the minimum amount of personal information that is necessary to fulfill the purpose of your interaction with us; we don't sell it to third parties; and we only use it as this Privacy Statement describes.

What Information OAT Collects

Information from website browsers

If you're just browsing the website, we collect the same basic information that most websites collect. We use common internet technologies, such as cookies and web server logs. This is stuff we collect from everybody, whether they have an account or not.

The information we collect about all visitors to our website includes the visitor's browser type, language preference, referring site, additional websites requested, and the date and time of each visitor request. We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.

We host our websites and subdomains on AWS. By using our websites and subdomains, you give us permission to collect, transfer, store, and use your Personal Data on servers located in different AWS Regions. Once collected, data is distributed through a global content delivery network. Because we use third-party authentication services (single sign-on), we do not keep any password or secret information about you. We are using Auth0 as an identity provider. See here about how Auth0 secures your information.

You can visit our websites and subdomains without setting up an account or registering for receiving marketing materials. If you register for an account, you give consent to that the information provided is sent to and stored at our servers. Such information pertains to:

• Full Name.
• Email.
• Information provided by you to solve a specific issue.
• Information about your and your devices' location including the unique device ID if enabled on your device

What Information OAT Does Not Collect

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, such as social security numbers, intentionally collect any sensitive personal information.

If you're a child under the age of 18, you may not do business with OAT. OAT does not knowingly collect information from or direct any of our content specifically to children under 18. If we learn or have reason to suspect that you are a user who is under the age of 18, we will cease our communications with you.

How We Share Information We Collect

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade User Personal Information with third parties for their commercial purposes.

We do not disclose User Personal Information outside OAT, except in the situations listed in this section or in the section below on Compelled Disclosure.

We do share certain aggregated, non-personally identifying information with others about how our users, collectively, use OAT, or how our users respond to our other offerings. However, we do not sell this information to advertisers or marketers.

We may share User Personal Information with your permission, so we can perform the services you have requested.

We may share User Personal Information with a limited number of third-party service providers who process it on our behalf to provide or improve our service, and who have agreed to privacy restrictions similar to our own Privacy Statement. Our service providers perform services such as email services, customer relations management, customer support ticketing, network data transmission, payment services, identity providers and other similar services. When we transfer your data to our service providers, we remain responsible for it.

We may share User Personal Information if we are involved in a merger, sale, or acquisition. If any such change of ownership happens, we will ensure that it is under terms that preserve the confidentiality of User Personal Information, and we will notify you on our website or by email before any transfer of your User Personal Information. The organization receiving any User Personal Information will have to honor any promises we have made in our Privacy Statement or in our Terms of Service.

Our Use of Cookies and Tracking

Cookies

OAT uses cookies to make interactions with our service easy and meaningful. We use cookies (and similar technologies, like HTML5 localStorage) to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and provide information for the future development of OAT.

A cookie is a small piece of text that our web server stores on your computer or mobile device, which your browser sends to us when you return to our site. Cookies do not necessarily identify you if you are merely visiting OAT; however, a cookie may store a unique identifier for each logged in user. The cookies OAT sets are essential for the operation of the website, or are used for performance or functionality. By using our website, you agree that we can place these types of cookies on your computer or device. If you disable your browser or device's ability to accept cookies, you will not be able to log in or use OAT's services.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out buttons provided when you visit our website.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics as a third party tracking service, but we don't use it to track you individually or collect your User Personal Information. We use Google Analytics to collect information about how our website performs and how our users, in general, navigate through and use OAT. This helps us evaluate our users' use of OAT; compile statistical reports on activity; and improve our content and website performance.

Google Analytics gathers certain simple, non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, time stamp, and similar data about your use of OAT. We do not link this information to any of your personal information such as your user name.

OAT will not, nor will we allow any third party to, use the Google Analytics tool to track our users individually; collect any User Personal Information other than IP address; or correlate your IP address with your identity. Google provides further information about its own privacy practices and offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics tracking (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

Tracking

“Do Not Track” (http://donottrack.us/) is a privacy preference you can set in your browser if you do not want online services to collect and share certain kinds of information about your online activity from third party tracking services. We do not track your online browsing activity on other online services over time and we do not permit third-party services to track your activity on our site beyond our basic Google Analytics tracking, which you may opt out of here (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). Because we do not share this kind of data with third party services or permit this kind of third party data collection on OAT for any of our users, and we do not track our users on third-party websites ourselves, we do not need to respond differently to an individual browser's Do Not Track setting.

If you are interested in turning on your browser's privacy and Do Not Track settings, the Do Not Track (http://donottrack.us/) website has browser-specific instructions.

How OAT Secures Your Information

OAT takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect User Personal Information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction; maintain data accuracy; and help ensure the appropriate use of User Personal Information. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

OAT's Global Privacy Practices

We provide the same standard of privacy protection to all our users around the world, regardless of their country of origin or location, and we are proud of the levels of notice, choice, accountability, security, data integrity, access, and recourse we provide. Additionally, we require that if our vendors or affiliates have access to User Personal Information, they must comply with our privacy policies and with applicable data privacy laws, including signing data transfer agreements such as Standard Contractual Clause agreements.

In particular:

• OAT provides clear methods of unambiguous, informed consent at the time of data collection, when we do collect your personal data.
• We collect only the minimum amount of personal data necessary, unless you choose to provide more. We encourage you to only give us the amount of data you are comfortable sharing.
• We offer you simple methods of accessing, correcting, or deleting the data we have collected.
• We provide our users notice, choice, accountability, security, and access, and we limit the purpose for processing. We also provide our users a method of resource and enforcement. These are the GDPR Principles, but they are also just good practices.
• Use of the Cloud Services may involve transfers of Customer Personal Data outside of the European Union. We have appropriate safeguards in place for the processing of Customer Personal Data outside of the European Union. If you elect to transfer Customer Personal Data to a Subprocessor outside of the European Union, you authorize us to apply our standard contractual clauses with that Subprocessor.

Resolving Complaints

If you have concerns about the way OAT is handling your User Personal Information, please let us know immediately. We want to help. You may contact us directly at support@oat.dev with the subject line “Privacy Concerns”. We will respond within 15 days at the latest.

How We Respond to Compelled Disclosure

OAT may disclose personally-identifying information or other information we collect about you to law enforcement in response to a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar government order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our property or rights, or those of third parties or the public at large.

In complying with court orders and similar legal processes, OAT strives for transparency. When permitted, we will make a reasonable effort to notify users of any disclosure of their information, unless we are prohibited by law or court order from doing so, or in rare, exigent circumstances.

Your Rights to Access and Control The Information We Collect

You have the right to request OAT for copies of your personal data. You have the right to request that OAT correct any information you believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request OAT to complete the information you believe is incomplete.

As mentioned above, you have the right to request that OAT erase your Personal Information. You can achieve this contacting support@oat.dev. Further, you have the right to object to any of OAT's data policies and how we use your Personal Information. Please contact us at support@oat.dev to inform us of any objections so we can take appropriate remedial steps.

You have the right to request that OAT transfer your Personal Information and Content that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you. Please contact us at support@oat.dev to make such a request.

Data Retention and Deletion

OAT will retain User Personal Information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services.

We may retain certain User Personal Information indefinitely, unless you request its deletion.

If you would like to cancel your account or delete your User Personal Information, you may do so by sending an email to support@OAT.com. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, but barring legal requirements, we will delete your full profile (within reason) within 30 days.

How We Communication With You

We will use your email address to communicate with you, if you've said that's okay, and only for the reasons you've said that's okay. You have control over how your email address is used andshared on and through OAT.

OAT may occasionally send notification emails about new features, requests for feedback, important policy changes, customer support offers, and news pertaining to OAT. We also send marketing emails, but only with your consent. There's an unsubscribe link located at the bottom of each of the emails we send you.

Our emails might contain a pixel tag, which is a small, clear image that can tell us whether or not you have opened an email and what your IP address is. We use this pixel tag to make our email more effective for you and to make sure we're not sending you unwanted emails. If you prefer not to receive pixel tags, please opt out of marketing emails.

Changes To Our Privacy Statement

Although most changes are likely to be minor, OAT may change our Privacy Statement from time to time. We will provide notification to Users of material changes to this Privacy Statement through our Website by posting a notice on our home page or sending email to the email address specified in your OAT primary account. For changes to this Privacy Statement that do not affect your rights, we encourage visitors to check this page frequently.
