Orson processes two categories of Personal Data:
This Privacy Policy applies to our handling of Controller Data. Our obligations with respect to Service Provider Data are covered under the agreement we enter into between us and each of our business partners and customers.

If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, including our use and disclosure of your Personal Data, and the Terms of Service, please do not use the Services and do not provide us with any Personal Data. Please note, however, that if you choose to limit the data that you provide to us while using the Services, you may not be able to use or participate in certain features of the Services.
We reserve the right to revise or update this Privacy Policy at any time, and you agree to be bound by those revisions or updates. We will notify you of any changes to the Privacy Policy by posting the revised or updated Privacy Policy and its “Last Modified” date on the Services. Your use of the Services thereafter constitutes your agreement to and acceptance of the Privacy Policy and its revisions or updates. You should periodically read the Privacy Policy to learn of any revisions or updates. If we make any material changes to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you 30 days prior to posting the revised Privacy Policy and require you to affirmatively accept the Privacy Policy before you are able to access and use the Services.
During your use of the Services, Orson collects both Personal Data and non-personally identifiable data about you in various ways, including
Special Category Information
Some of the data that we may collect as a result of providing the Services is particularly sensitive (e.g., biometric data). We only collect this data as provided by or consented by you.
Such sensitive data is only shared for the purpose of providing the Services you request or as consented for and will not be shared or used by us for any other purposes. This data is held to a strict retention schedule, as described in the Retention Period Section below.
Orson and third-party service providers may automatically collect data about you when you use the Sites. This data is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of the Sites, and for our internal analytics so that we can improve the Product and Business Services. This data may include:
We also use Google Analytics for Display and Search Advertising and, specifically, Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting, on the Sites to help display advertising for products or services that we think may be of interest to you. We will use demographic information collected through our use of Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting for purposes of performing internal statistical analytics relating to the Sites. You can opt-out of receiving interest-based advertisements through the Sites, as well as customize the types of advertisements that will be displayed to you through the Sites, by following the instructions located at https://support.google.com/ads.
In some instances, Orson may receive Personal Data and/or anonymous data about you from other parties, such as our affiliates, business partners, and service providers. That data may be obtained online, offline, or through publicly available resources. We may combine this data with the data you provide, and other data we already have about you.
We may process your Personal Data for the following lawful business and commercial purposes, in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy, and based upon the legal justification set forth in the parenthetical:
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, Orson will not sell, share, rent, or otherwise disclose Personal Data that we collect from the Services to any third party for monetary or other valuable consideration, unless stated below or with your consent:
We may share and disclose de-identified and/or aggregate analytics with third-party partners for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or where it is collected, or any other legal purpose, including, when and where applicable, sharing and disclosing non-personally identifiable data combined with Personal Data.
We strive to provide you with choices regarding how we use the Personal Data you provide to us. Please understand that if you choose not to disclose data to us, it may affect your ability to use some features of the Services. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your data:
We may also use third-party advertisers, ad networks, and other advertising, marketing, and promotional companies, to serve advertisements about the Product and Business Services. Such third parties may gather data about your visit to the Services, monitor your access or market our products and services to you, monitor the ads you view, click-on, or interact with, when they were delivered, and the screens and pages that they are on. If you wish to not have this data used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt out by clicking here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will continue to receive generic ads.
We and our service providers may use data about your interactions with the Services to predict your interests and select the ads you see on and off the Services. This is known as interest-based advertising. In providing interest-based ads, we follow the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising developed by the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"). For more information about interest-based advertising and how you can opt out, visit:
From time to time if you have supplied your email address, Orson and its affiliates may send you marketing or informational emails. If you prefer not to receive any or all of our marketing and promotional communications, you may opt-out of these communications by following the opt-out prompts on these communications. You also may ask us not to send you other marketing or informational communications by contacting us as specified in the Contact Information section below, and we will honor your request. Please note that even after you are removed from our marketing lists, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as responding to your support requests.
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that lets you tell websites and online services that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Such browser features and industry standards are not uniform. As such, Orson does not monitor or respond to DNT browser requests. If a standard is adopted that we must follow in the future, then we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.
The Services may contain links to third-party services, websites, mobile applications, and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliates with us – and which may link to other websites, services, or applications. While we endeavor to work with third parties that share our respect for user privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or privacy practices of such third parties. Any data collected by third parties are not covered by this Privacy Policy. You are responsible for knowing when you are leaving the Services to visit a third-party website, service, or application and for reading and understanding the terms of use and privacy policy statements for each such third party. This Privacy Policy only governs data collected through the Services.

If you become aware that your child is accessing the Services and providing Personal Data without your consent, please contact us by using the data provided in the Contact Information section below. We will take steps to remove Personal Data from Orson’s servers and terminate the account should we determine that a child under 16 has accessed the Services, Product, and Business Services.
We may provide public areas on the Services, such as forums, blogs message boards, and chat rooms (“Public Forum”), where you can post information about yourself and others. Please exercise discretion and use caution with respect to your data, especially in such public areas. We do not control who reads postings on the Services, or how they may use or disclose such information. If you choose to voluntarily disclose information on Public Forums, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by other users.
We take the security of your Personal Data seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction. While we implement these measures, please note that 100% security is not possible, and we cannot guarantee that the security measures we have in place to safeguard Personal Data will never be defeated or fail, or that those measures will always be sufficient or effective.

Please do not provide your Personal Data to us if you do not want this data to be transferred or processed outside of your country, or if the laws in your country restrict such transfers.

In using the Services, your Personal Data will be transferred to the United States, which is not recognized as a country having adequate safeguards for the protection of Personal Data. Orson relies on your consent or Article 49 of the GDPR for transfers of data collected from Data Subjects in the EU and EEA. Transfers are made to Orson only if the Data Subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the possible risks of such transfers. Additionally, we transfer data as necessary for the performance of a contract between you as the Data Subject and Orson as the Controller, to Data Processors who have an agreement with us that includes protecting your privacy and the security of your data, and in cases where your Personal Data is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in accordance with your requests.
