We may periodically make changes to this Privacy Policy, which will be included on this page. The effective date at the top of this page indicates the date of the most current Privacy Policy in effect.

SCOPE OF POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains the data collection and use practices of eatokra.com, any other websites, or services, available through such sites, owned or operated by EatOkra Foundation (each a “Site” and, collectively, the “Sites”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party sites with which EatOkra may be affiliated. Please consult the privacy policies of such third-party sites. EatOkra only provides information to third parties that is necessary to successfully achieve the purpose for which the information was collected.

YOUR RIGHTS

EatOkra Foundation is committed to honoring your privacy rights as follows:

  • Right of access to your personal information
  • Right to rectification of personal information where it is incorrect or incomplete
  • Right of erasure of personal information (the “right to be forgotten”) if certain grounds are met
  • Right to restrict or suspend the processing of personal information
  • Right to complain to a supervisory authority should you believe your personal information is being misused
  • Right of data portability (if processing is based on consent and automated means)
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time (if processing is based on consent)
  • Right to object to processing (if processing is based on legitimate interests)
  • Right to object to processing of personal information for direct marketing purposes

WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED?

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including an individual’s first and last name, password, home or other physical address, an email address, phone number, or other contact information.

You may provide personal information to EatOkra Foundation in connection with joining EatOkra platforms, accessing job opportunities, and interacting with other users of EatOkra platforms. Depending on how you initiate contact with EatOkra Foundation, we may ask you several questions to confirm your identification.

Generally, the information you provide when interacting with EatOkra Foundation is optional, but some information may be required for a particular process, transaction, or other interaction to execute properly. EatOkra Foundation may be unable to provide you with certain products or services should you elect not to share information that we require for a particular purpose. If you have questions about what information we will require for a particular purpose, please contact us at hello@eatokra.com.

EatOkra Foundation also automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, information contained in or conveyed by cookies and other similar technology (as described below), and the page you request through automated metrics platforms such as Google Analytics. This information is automatically logged through these services.

EatOkra Foundation may also collect certain personal information or other information that you voluntarily disclose, including in connection with registering for events or mailing lists, submission of job applications, responses to survey questions, providing comments, suggestions, and other information that you voluntarily submit. If you choose to provide such information, you are giving EatOkra Foundation permission to use and store it consistent with this policy. Therefore, please understand that when you sign in with EatOkra Foundation, you are not anonymous to us.

We may also obtain information, including personal information, from third parties and other sources. If we combine or associate information from other sources with personal information that we collect, we will treat the combined information as personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

HOW IS SUCH INFORMATION USED?

We may use personal information we collect to establish and enhance our relationship with you. EatOkra Foundation may use personal information to share with you information that we feel may be of interest to you, such as invitations to attend EatOkra Foundation events or the events of other carefully chosen organizations, to review and enhance our products and service offerings, to contact you about your interaction with EatOkra Foundation, to provide local networking and educational opportunities, and to comply with applicable law. This includes but is not limited to newsletters, SMS marketing, and emails. If you engage with EatOkra Foundation at one of our offline activities, this information may be merged into our database with your online personal information. The information EatOkra Foundation collects and how it is used will depend on which of EatOkra Foundation’s offerings or services you use. EatOkra Foundation will only require you to provide information if it is needed for the legitimate interest of providing you with a product or service or the execution of a transaction. Any time you voluntarily submit information in addition to that described above, you are providing the information on a voluntary basis whereby you consent to our use of the information as described at the time requested. You can contact us at any time to adjust your privacy preferences or ask questions about how the information might be used.

Your personal information is only retained by EatOkra Foundation for as long as needed to facilitate the product or service, facilitate communication, or otherwise execute the purpose for which the information was obtained in the first place. This means that although much of the information can be deleted automatically (e.g. when you elect to unsubscribe from a newsletter), some will require manual review before doing so (e.g. you have purchased a ticket for an event and we need some way to verify who you are in order to be admitted to the event).

Tasks related to event organization and other functions of EatOkra Foundation are performed both by employees, agents, and contractors of EatOkra Foundation and by volunteers (“EatOkra Volunteers”) who are not employees. By making use of the site(s), you consent to allow EatOkra Foundation employees, agents, contractors, and EatOkra Volunteers to access any personal information you submit to the site(s) to provide EatOkra Foundation with a specific service and not for any other purpose.

Additionally, EatOkra Foundation generally uses the information to operate, maintain, enhance, and provide all of the features and services found on the site(s). Under certain circumstances (for example, if you win a contest), we may post your personal information on the site(s). However, we will notify you of this possibility when collecting personal information or we will obtain your consent to post this information. We may share your personal information with certain other websites that we link to (and that you click upon) to achieve the purpose of the connection with the site(s). EatOkra Foundation may also use the information that we collect to understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our users, to improve the way the site(s) work and look, and to create new features and functionality. The information may be stored and maintained for as long as reasonably necessary to effectuate the service requested and for a reasonable time thereafter.

WHEN EatOkra Foundation DISCLOSES INFORMATION

EatOkra Foundation discloses information to third parties as follows: (i) to agents, subcontractors, and other third parties, including EatOkra Volunteers, who are engaged by EatOkra Foundation in making EatOkra Foundation products and services available and otherwise assisting EatOkra Foundation in its charitable purpose, including fundraising; and (ii) to selected affiliates, marketing partners, and other organizations that EatOkra Foundation may affiliate with in furtherance of its purpose. In addition, if you register to attend an event or conference sponsored by EatOkra Foundation, EatOkra Foundation may also disclose a list of attendee contact information to other attendees at such conference or event.

EatOkra Foundation may disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with state or federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright law), or respond to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena or warrant, or otherwise comply with legal process served on EatOkra Foundation or the site(s); (2) protect and defend the rights or property of EatOkra Foundation or otherwise take precautions against liability; or (3) act in urgent circumstances to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of EatOkra Foundation and users of EatOkra Foundation, its websites, or the public; (4) protect EatOkra Foundation from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses; (5) investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims or allegations; (6) assist government enforcement agencies; or (7) protect the security or integrity of the site(s).

NON-IDENTIFIABLE AGGREGATED DATA

Non-identifiable data is information that subsequently is used in aggregate form or in a manner that does not readily identify an individual. We may collect non-identifiable data whether or not you are a registered member of EatOkra Foundation. We may use non-identifiable data for purposes of research or analysis. We may conduct research on our customer demographics, internet usage, and interests and behavior based on personal data we gather. Although non-identifiable data may be based in part on personal information, it does not identify you personally.

EatOkra Foundation may share this type of non-identifiable data with a variety of third parties, including its affiliates, advertisers, and other current and prospective business partners. EatOkra Foundation may use non-identifiable data collected for website administration, advertising and promotional purposes, for understanding the usage, viewing, and demographic patterns for certain programs, content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on the site(s), and we may share such information with various affiliated and unaffiliated entities for such purposes. We may also enter into agreements with outside companies that possess technology that allows us to customize our advertising and marketing messages. Your non-personally identifiable information and clickstream data about your activities may be shared with these companies so this customization can be accomplished. Our agreement with these companies prohibits them from sharing your information with any third party or using it for any other purpose. Non-identifiable clickstream and demographic information may also be shared with our advertisers and business partners.

CHOICE

You may, of course, decline to share your personal information with EatOkra Foundation, in which case EatOkra Foundation will not be able to provide you with some of the features and functionality found on the site(s). If you would like us to limit communications to you or use or disclosure of your personal information, please make your request by email to hello@eatokra.com. We will respond within a reasonable period to notify you either that we will use reasonable efforts to accommodate your request or alternatively, that we are unable to do so and will delete your personal information from our databases. You may request a copy of any information we have about you, update your information, or request any information about you to be deleted from our databases at any time by emailing hello@eatokra.com.

ACCESS

The accuracy of information provided by you is your responsibility. You agree you will not knowingly provide us inaccurate information. If someone has spoofed your email address or you have another reason you would like to have such information edited or removed, please send an email to hello@eatokra.com with your request. Other personal information may be corrected, amended, or deleted by requesting changes by email to hello@eatokra.com.

SECURITY NOTICE

While EatOkra Foundation uses certain measures intended to improve security, it is possible that information you provide us could be intercepted or otherwise accessed by unauthorized parties. In addition, any information sent to us by email may not be secure during transit, due to the nature of email. EatOkra Foundation does not provide any guarantees that information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards. If EatOkra Foundation learns of a security breach, we will immediately notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps and inform you of what we are doing to help remedy the situation.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

The site(s) are hosted in the United States. If you choose to use the site(s) from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States and by providing your personal information on the site(s) you consent to that transfer. EatOkra Foundation will comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy regardless of where the information originates.

IN THE EVENT OF MERGER OR SALE

In the event that EatOkra Foundation is acquired by or merged with a third-party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information that we have collected from users as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISERS, LINKS TO OTHER SITES

The site(s) may be linked to internet websites operated by other companies or third-party sponsors. Some of these websites may be co-branded with our name or logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by us. EatOkra Foundation may also permit other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within the site(s). These third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technology to send, directly to your browser, some of the advertisements and links that appear on the site(s). These advertisers may automatically receive your IP address if this happens.

EatOkra Foundation may work with third parties (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook) who use web beacons, pixel tags, JavaScript code, and other technologies to collect or receive information from our site and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement and conversion services and target advertisements. You may be able to opt-out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or by enabling do-not-track settings in your browser if your browser provides those settings.

You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party websites and third-party ad servers or ad networks. EatOkra Foundation’s privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other third-party advertisers or websites. Please be aware that EatOkra Foundation does not warn you when you have chosen to link through to another website from the site(s).

CHILDREN

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, the site(s) are not intended for or directed to persons under the age of 13, and EatOkra Foundation does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information on the site(s) from persons under 13 years-of-age. Any person who provides their information to EatOkra Foundation through any part of the site(s) represents to EatOkra Foundation that they are 13 years of age or older. If EatOkra Foundation learns that personal information of persons less than 13 years-of-age has been collected on EatOkra Foundation without verifiable parental consent, then EatOkra Foundation will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under the age of 13 has provided personal information to EatOkra Foundation, then you may alert EatOkra Foundation at team@eatokra.com and request that EatOkra Foundation delete that child’s personal information from its systems.

COOKIES, WEB PIXELS, AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
