We collect Personal Information when you choose to provide it to us when registering for OMG Services, such as when you choose to subscribe to an OMG Service or choose to receive an OMG newsletter. We may also receive Personal Information from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information.

OMG USE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

17. Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the OMG Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information that is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit an OMG Service.

18. In addition to OMG’s practices related to IP Addresses, Cookies or Web Beacons, Non-Personal Information is used generally by OMG to monitor and improve the operation of the OMG Services, to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our users, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific OMG Services, to describe our services to third parties such as prospective business partners and advertisers and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. No Personal Information will be disclosed during these activities.

IP ADDRESSES

19. An IP Address is the unique number that is assigned to every direct Internet access point. Many IP Addresses can generally be associated with certain Internet service providers or large organizations. IP Addresses do not contain any Personal Information. When you, through your browser, request a web page or similar Internet information from another computer on the Internet, your browser automatically provides that computer with an IP address to which it will send the requested information.

20. OMG and IP Addresses:

        a. Whenever you request an OMG Service web page or certain other similar OMG content, your browser automatically provides our computers with your IP Address, to which our computers will send the requested information. Our computers log each such request with information, including the IP Address of the computer that requested the page, and is stored by our computers as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;

       b. OMG may use your IP Address to display more appropriate and relevant content and advertising, such as content and advertising based on your geographic area. OMG may report aggregate information derived from IP Addresses to its advertisers and partners. For example, OMG may report to its advertisers the estimated total number of users accessing a particular OMG Site from a specific Province; and

        c. OMG may use your IP Address to facilitate the diagnoses and remedy of a technical problem reported by you or our technical team.

COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS

21. A “Cookie” is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred (through your browser) from a web site to the hard drive of your computer. The Cookie identifies your browser and will NOT let a web site know any personal information about you, such as your name and address. Since Cookies are only text files, they cannot run on your computer, search your computer for other information or transmit any information to anyone.

22. OMG may use Cookies to:

       a. monitor website usage and improve the operation and performance of the OMG Services and to make our OMG Services easier and more convenient to use. For example, Cookies help us remember who you are through your browser settings so that we can offer and provide more personalized services (e.g. language preference). Cookies also allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so that you will not have to re-enter them the next time you visit an OMG Service; or

       b. measure aggregate user traffic and demographic statistics related to the OMG Services and advertisements (e.g. number of users, average time spent, average age and similar statistics). This information helps us to better understand when to update, change or offer new services and provides us with details as to the performance of third party advertisements and content. This information may be reported, in aggregate form only, to our current and prospective business partners. No Personal Information will be disclosed in such reports.

23. Cookies are used on many major web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept Cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser either to notify you when you have received a Cookie, or to refuse to accept Cookies. You should understand that while OMG does not require you to use Cookies, certain OMG Services will not function properly if you set your browser to not accept Cookies.
