This includes operating the products, maintaining and improving the performance of the products, developing new features, conducting research, and providing customer support. Examples of such uses include the following:

Often, those products include personalized features and recommendations that enhance your productivity and enjoyment, and automatically tailor your product experiences based on the data we have about your activities, interests, location and application.
Customer support. We use data to diagnose product problems, repair customers' devices, and provide other customer care and support services.

Reasons We Share Personal Data

We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any product or service you have requested or authorized. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so, such as when you send an email, share photos and documents on OneDrive, Dropbox or similar. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.

In addition, we share personal data among O2E-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement. For example, companies we've hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.

Finally, we will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails to us, or files in folders on OneDrive, Dropbox or similar), you have shared with us, when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:

comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies;
protect our customers or subcontractors or affiliates, for example to prevent attempts to defraud users of our products, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone;
operate and maintain the security of our products, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or
protect the rights or property of O2E, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the products or services - however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our products or services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of O2E, we will not inspect a customer's private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.

Please note that at our webpage include links to websites of third parties whose privacy practices differ from O2E's. If you provide personal data to any of those products, your data is governed by their privacy statements.

If you would like to opt out you can always contact O2E by using email communication. These choices do not apply to mandatory service communications that are part of certain O2E services which need to secure the proper operation of products or services that are governed by separate products or service agreements that have their own termination method.

Social plugins on O2E pages

The O2E is represented with selected Internet offers on various social media platforms (for example, facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube). When integrating these offers into our websites, we sometimes use so-called social plugins. These establish a direct connection to the servers of the social networks via your browser and transfer data to the operators already when loading and displaying the contents.

In order to make the connection of the external offers as comfortable as safe, we have this function of the social plugins on O2E pages by default not active. Only when you click the connection buttons of social media content, a connection to the servers of the respective social media platform is established.

Notice to Users

O2E products and services are intended for use by organizations and are administered to you in some cases by your organization. Your use of O2E products and services may be subject to your organization's policies, if any. If your organization is administering your use of the O2E products and services, please direct your privacy inquiries to your administrator. O2E is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of our customers, which may differ from those set forth in this privacy statement.

If you use an email address provided by an organization you are affiliated with, such as an employer, to access O2E’s services, the owner of the domain (e.g., your employer) associated with your email address may: (i) control and administer your communication with O2E (ii) access and process your data, including the contents of your communications and files.

Other Important Privacy Information

Below you will find additional privacy information you may find important.

Security of Personal Data

O2E is committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, we store the personal data you provide on computer systems that have limited access and are in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential data over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption.

Where We Store and Process Personal Data

Personal data collected by O2E may be stored and processed in any country where O2E or its affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities. O2E maintains its major data in the United Kingdom. The storage location(s) are chosen in order to operate efficiently, to improve performance, and to create redundancies in order to protect the data in the event of an outage or other problem. We take steps to ensure that the data we collect under this privacy statement is processed according to the provisions of this statement and the requirements of applicable law wherever the data is located.

We may transfer personal data from the European Economic Area and to other countries, some of which have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection. When we do, we use a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to help ensure your rights and protections travel with your data. To learn more about the European Commission’s decisions on the adequacy of the protection of personal data in the countries where O2E may processes personal data, please visit: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.htm

If third-party agents process personal data on our behalf in a manner inconsistent with the principles, we remain liable unless we prove we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

Our Retention of Personal Data

O2E retains personal data for as long as necessary to provide the products and services and fulfil the transactions you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs can vary for different data types in the context of different products and services, actual retention periods can vary significantly. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include:

How long is the personal data needed to provide the products and operate our business? This includes such things as maintaining and improving the performance of those products, keeping our systems secure, and maintaining appropriate business and financial records. This is the general rule that establishes the baseline for most data retention periods.
Do customers provide, create, or maintain the data with the expectation we will retain it until they affirmatively remove it? Examples include a document you store in OneDrive, or an email message you send to our inbox. In such cases, we maintain the data until you actively ask us to delete it.
Is there an automated control, that enables the customer to access and delete the personal data at any time? If there is not, a shortened data retention time will generally be adopted.
Is the personal data of a sensitive type? If so, a shortened retention time would generally be appropriate.
Has the user provided consent for a longer retention period? If so, we will retain data in accordance with your consent.
Is O2E subject to a legal, contractual, or similar obligation to retain the data? Examples can include mandatory data retention laws in the applicable jurisdiction, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation.

Product-specific details:

General. When a customer tries, purchases, uses, O2E Products or services, or obtains support for such products, O2E collects data to provide the service, including uses compatible with providing the service, provide the best experiences with our products, operate our business, and communicate with the customer.
