We may also work with advertising networks and partners to serve ads on our Platform and to communicate with you at the addresses they have for you. We may provide advertising networks, advertising partners, and businesses advertising on our platform with aggregate information but other than hashed information or device identifiers, we do not disclose your name, contact information, or other personal information. For example, we may provide a hashed version of your email address or other information to advertising networks (e.g., Facebook and Google) to serve advertisements to you or others.

Legal Obligations
We may disclose information from or about you, as required or permitted by applicable law, if we believe that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process and law enforcement instructions and orders, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, judicial proceeding, or other legal process served on us, a service provider, or a partner (which may include disclosure to law enforcement, courts, or governmental authorities); (b) prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with our Platform; (c) protect our rights, reputation, property, or that of our visitors, users, corporate affiliates, or the public; or (d) enforce compliance with our agreements with you.

If you become aware or believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us as provided in the Contact Us section.
5. Data Security
We use reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, taking into account the risks involved in the processing and the nature of the personal information.
6. Updates to this Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of our Privacy Policy will govern our use of information about you. If we make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on our Platform or by other means, to offer you an opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. By continuing to access or use our Platform after those changes become effective, you are subject to the revised Privacy Policy.
7. International Transfers of Personal Information
The Oceanic6 is a global organization, headquartered in the United States, with service providers, corporate affiliates, and operations in several countries. In order to provide you with the services you sign up for by creating an account or visiting our Platform, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States (or any other country where we, our corporate affiliates, agents, and service providers operate). Data protection laws differ among jurisdictions, and the United States and these other jurisdictions may not provide the same level of protection for personal information as your jurisdiction of residence. For example, your information may be required to be disclosed to law enforcement or government authorities under the laws of those jurisdictions. If you are from the European Economic Area ("EEA") and we transfer your personal information to countries outside of the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure your personal information is afforded the same level of protection as described in this Privacy Policy. If you are located in the EEA or Switzerland, we comply with all legal requirements for the transfer of personal information to countries outside of the EEA or Switzerland.
8. Additional Information for Individuals from the European Economic Area
If you are from the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. We collect and use your information for a variety of business purposes that are in our legitimate interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, or to comply with our legal obligations.
If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
If you wish to learn more about specific legal grounds we rely on to process your information for any particular purpose (including any legitimate interests we have to process this information), please contact us as provided under the Contact Us section. For example, we rely on our legitimate interests to process information for direct marketing purposes and for fraud prevention and detection, provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
Oceanic6 takes reasonable steps to ensure that the data we collect is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and up to date. In addition to the rights described in the Your Choices and Rights section, you have additional rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to object to, or to ask us to restrict, the processing of your personal information.
You can complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information in relation to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable law. For more information, and to submit a GDPR complaint, please contact your local data protection authority.
13. Additional Information for Individuals from California
This section provides notice and specific information for California consumers to address the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA").
We collect the following categories of personal information from you:
● Contact information and other identifiers (for example, real name, address, email address, account name, or other similar identifiers);
● User ID or device identifiers (for example, IP address or other similar identifiers);
● Customer records (for example, customer records containing personal information, such as name, address, and telephone number);
● Protected classifications (but only gender, age range, and ethnicity, which you choose to provide);
● Purchase history and preferences (for example, records of products or services purchased or considered);
● Usage data (for example, internet activity information, including browsing history and interactions with a website or advertisement);
● Precise geolocation data (for example, latitude/longitude from a particular device, but only with your consent);
● Audiovisual information (for example, visual, audio, or similar information, only if you choose to provide this information);
● Work history (for example, professional information, if this information is provided).
The Use of Information section of this Privacy Policy describes the purposes for which we collect your personal information.
We do not disclose your data in exchange for money except at your request or direction. For California residents, the CCPA defines "selling" personal information to include providing it to a third party in exchange for valuable services. We disclose information to certain third parties in exchange for valuable services, such as advertising services, which may constitute a "sale" under the CCPA. You may opt-out of this disclosure of your data for commercial purposes. As provided in our Terms of Use, use of the Oceanic6 Platform by anyone under 16 years of age is strictly prohibited. Consequently, we do not knowingly disclose information regarding individuals under 16 years of age to third parties in exchange for consideration.
In addition to the rights described above and in the Your Choices and Rights section, California consumers may also, up to twice every 12 months and subject to certain exceptions, request us to provide information about how we have used and shared your personal information in the prior 12 months.
Your authorized agent may submit a request to know, delete, or opt out on your behalf via this online support form or by emailing us at privacy@Oceanic6.com. We may still require you to directly verify your identity and confirm that you have provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. Whether you submit your request directly or through an authorized agent, generally, the only means Oceanic6 has to verify your identity is for you: to respond to a specific Oceanic6 email from the email address associated with your Oceanic6 account; to click a confirmation or similar button in a specific Oceanic6 email from the email address associated with your Oceanic6 account, or to submit your request from your logged-in account.
The Collection of Information section of this Privacy Policy describes the sources from which we collect your personal information. The Use of Information section of this Privacy Policy describes the purposes for which we collect your personal information. The Sharing Your Information section of this Privacy Policy describes the types of third parties with which we share your personal information.
Consistent with the CCPA, except to the extent reasonably related to the value of your personal information, we will not treat California consumers differently for exercising their rights under the CCPA.
