5. Security, Protection and Use of Personal Information

Open Dollar is committed to protecting your privacy. Internally, only a specified number of employees within our business have access to your Personal Information.

These employees have duties that reasonably require access to your Personal Information. We take the security of Personal Information very seriously and we take appropriate measures to ensure that Personal Information is not accessed or disclosed by anyone outside the terms of this policy.

We will also take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized access or alteration of your Personal Information. These measures include internal reviews, storage and processing practices and security measures as well as physical measures to prevent unauthorized access to systems where we store Personal Information. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure or error free and we are unable to guarantee the absolute security of the Personal Information we have collected from you. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us electronically. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Information.

Open Dollar reserves the right to retain and share certain Personal Information in order to meet our regulatory and statutory requirements. In addition, Open Dollar reserves the right to retain and share certain Personal Information with our corporate partners, and third parties acting on behalf of Open Dollar.

As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Information may be part of the transferred assets. You acknowledge and agree that any successor to or acquirer of us (or our assets) will continue to have the right to use your Personal Information and other information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information and other related data may be exported outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside. Your Personal Information may be processed and stored in a foreign country or countries. Under those circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement or regulatory agencies of that country or those countries may be able to obtain access to your Personal Information through foreign laws. You need to be aware that the privacy standards of those countries may be lower than those of the jurisdiction in which you reside. You should note that you are not obliged to give your Personal Information to Open Dollar, but if you choose not to do so, we may not be able to provide our services, or your access to our services may be limited.

6. Direct Marketing

From time to time, if you are a customer or a potential customer of Open Dollar, we may contact you about our products as part of one of our campaigns, or to gain feedback on our services or marketing strategies. We may contact you via email. By signing up to our website you are consenting to this Privacy Policy and the receipt of our direct marketing messages. If you wish to no longer receive our direct marketing as outlined in this Privacy Policy, please unsubscribe from the emails via the link in their footer or send an email entitled "Unsubscribe" to the email address legal@opendollar.com. You will then be removed from the marketing email list — however, we may still communicate with you, for example to send you service-related emails that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes

7. Consent

You consent to the collection and use of Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to use and disclose Personal Information without your knowledge or consent as permitted by this Privacy Policy or applicable law. When additional consent is required for the collection of Personal Information and the subsequent use or disclosure of Personal Information, that will be provided via an additional form that may vary depending upon the circumstances and the type of Personal information obtained.

8. Disclosure of Personal Information

We use the Personal Information for the purposes indicated at the time you provide us with such information, and/or otherwise for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and/or as otherwise permitted by law. We may make available the Personal Information that you provide to us to our affiliates, agents, representatives, service providers and contractors for these purposes. We also reserve the right to disclose Personal information that Open Dollar believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce the terms in our Disclaimer, take precautions against liability or harm, to investigate and respond to third-party claims or allegations, to respond to a court order or official requests, to protect security or integrity of Open Dollar and to protect the rights, property or safety of Open Dollar, our uses or others.

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our services, to provide the services on our behalf, to perform service-related services and/or to assist us in analyzing how Open Dollar is used. These companies include our marketing agencies, database service providers, backup and disaster recovery service providers, payment services providers, email service providers and others. When we engage another company to perform such functions, we may provide them with information, including Personal Information, in connection with their performance of such functions. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose.

We may share Users' Personal Information with any financial dispute resolution scheme to which the Company subscribes, and other law enforcement bodies, regulatory agencies, courts, arbitration bodies and dispute resolution schemes, as may be required by law.

If you request it in writing, we may share your Personal Information with your nominated advisers. Except where disclosure of your Personal Information is required by law or requested by you, we will generally require any third party which receives or has access to Personal Information to protect such Personal Information and to use it only to carry out the services they are performing for you or for us unless otherwise required or permitted by law. We will ensure that any such third party is aware of our obligations under this Privacy Policy and we will take reasonable steps to ensure that contracts we enter with such third parties bind them to terms no less protective of any Personal Information disclosed to them than the obligations we undertake to you under this Privacy Policy or which are imposed on us under applicable data protection laws.

In the event that Open Dollar is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, assignment or the application of laws or change of control, there may be a disclosure of your information to another entity related to such an event.

9. Access and Changing of Personal Information

We take all reasonable steps to ensure your Personal Information is accurate and up to date. If we believe that it is not accurate, we may contact you to update your Personal Information. If you believe the Personal Information that we have stored about you is inaccurate you may contact us via legal@opendollar.com to change the Personal Information we have stored. Where we do receive unsolicited Personal Information, we will determine whether or not it would have been permissible to collect that information if it had been solicited. If we determine that it would not have been permissible by law to collect the information, we will destroy or de-identify that Personal Information as soon as practicable. You may also ask us to send you the Personal Information we have about you. If you would like to access this information, please contact us on the above email. You may also request the deletion or destruction of your Personal Information by sending an email to us. We will act on your request only when it is not inconsistent with our legal and regulatory obligations and compliance procedures. Upon your written request, we will inform you of the use and general disclosure of your Personal Information. Depending on the nature of your request, there may be a minimal charge for accessing your Personal Information.
