Open Doors (“Open Doors“) operates Open Doors and may operate other websites. It is Open Doors policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Open Doors collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Open Doors purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Open Doors visitors use its website. From time to time, Open Doors may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Open Doors also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Open Doors blogs/sites. Open Doors only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Open Doors websites choose to interact with Open Doors in ways that require Open Doors to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Open Doors gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at Open Doors to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Open Doors are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Open Doors collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Open Doors. Open Doors does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Open Doors may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Open Doors may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Open Doors does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Open Doors discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Open Doors behalf or to provide services available at Open Doors websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Open Doors websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Open Doors will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Open Doors discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Open Doors believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Open Doors, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Open Doors website and have supplied your email address, Open Doors may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Open Doors and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Open Doors takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
