Security Issues
How does OSQS protect my personal information?
We are committed to protecting the information you give us, so we implement the appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to do so. Information collected from the website will be protected from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Any information that you give us is protected by a password. Within OSQS, your information is stored in password-protected, limited-access servers. Wherever possible, OSQS servers reside behind a corporate firewall that maintains tight controls on any access to the system from both our internal network and the Internet.
Further, OSQS restricts access to your personal information to only those OSQS employees, contractors and agents who are bound by confidentiality agreements, and those who otherwise require access to the necessary information, in order to assist you with using the website or any OSQS services, to operate or improve OSQS services, or if it is required by law and when OSQS believes that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or other users and/or to comply with a law enforcement investigation, judicial or administrative proceeding, subpoena, court order or other legal process served on OSQS or our website.
Does OSQS’s website collect information from children?
OSQS believes that protecting the privacy of children on the Internet is very important. The OSQS website is not designed to attract children or to have children use the site or its services, and we do not intentionally collect personal information from children on our websites. Requesting OSQS services is limited to adults age 18 or over.
Children should exercise caution before providing personal information online and should discuss with an adult or guardian before doing so. OSQS also urges parents and guardians to consider using one of the low-cost software programs designed to protect children while they are online.
Cookies
What are cookies and why does OSQS use them?
A cookie is a small data string our server writes to your hard drive. This data string contains your unique user ID for our website. This technology allows us to customize your experiences when you visit the OSQS website. For example, by using cookies, OSQS is able to deliver services specific to your interests, keep track of your online requests and alert you to services or money saving opportunities based on your current services.
What information is collected by the site or in cookies?
OSQS collects non-personally identifiable information regarding your visit, usually in the form of cookies, log files, or clear .gif files. Cookies contain a session identification number that our systems use to recall previous authentication or order information from our servers. We may also collect your domain name, IP address, the address of the last URL you visited prior to coming to our website, and your browser and platform type. We use third-party tracking services to help us analyze this information in the aggregate to evaluate the effectiveness of our site. In some cases, the information is collected directly by the third-party and in others it is forwarded by OSQS to the third-party. The third-party is not permitted to use the information for any other purpose.
How do I disable cookies on my browser?
It's important you know that a cookie cannot be used to access or otherwise compromise the data on your hard drive. Your privacy is always protected. However, at any time you may choose to change your browser settings to disable cookies. Please be aware that cookies may be required to complete certain functions on this website.
Online Advertising
What is OSQS’s position regarding online advertising and third-party ad servers?
As an online advertiser, OSQS may use information supplied from third-party companies in several ways. This is aggregated data that does not personally identify any individual online user. This data is used to:
- Evaluate and prioritize site selection when developing online media plans
- Develop client-specific services
- Deliver service and pricing information
- Gauge the effectiveness of our services
Again, personally identifiable information such as name, address, phone number or e-mail address is not collected unless you voluntarily supply this data to OSQS or to a third-party partner in order to get further information about OSQS services. Prior to disclosure of information by OSQS to any third parties, OSQS will receive written confirmation from the third-parties that the data provided by OSQS directly to them will be used in accordance with OSQS’s Website Privacy Policy.
Third-party companies may also utilize technology in order to measure the effectiveness of services. Some OSQS web-pages contain clear .gif files (also known as “Web Beacons”), electronic images that allow the third-party to collect anonymous information. This anonymous information about your visits to our site is used to provide you with advertisements of services of potential interest to you. No personally identifiable information is collected during this process.
