2. Personal Information We Collect
As you may have guessed, personal information is any data that can be used to personally identify you or allow us or others to contact you. This can include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, username, and password. When you use our Site, you may be asked to provide this information for various purposes, such as creating an account, submitting a quote, or accessing certain features and services.
In addition to the directly identifiable information, personal information can also encompass data that, on its own, may not be personally identifiable but becomes so when combined with other pieces of personal information. For ORION DOWN TOWN, your IP address or device information might not reveal your identity on its own, but when paired with your name or email address, it can be used to identify you.
We understand that some pages and features on our Site can be accessed and used without requiring you to provide any personal information. However, for other pages, functionalities, and services, it may be necessary to collect personal information. This information is only collected from you when you voluntarily provide it, such as when you fill out a form, make a purchase, or interact with certain parts of the Site.
We encourage you to be mindful of the information you share. While we are genuinely interested in getting to know our users, we ask that you do not share overly detailed personal information, such as your life story, when you submit a quote to us, create an account, or otherwise use the Site. This helps protect your privacy and ensures that we handle only the necessary information to provide our services.
We take the protection of your personal information very seriously. We will not disclose any personal information that you provide to us, except in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy. These provisions may include sharing your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Site, fulfilling orders, or providing services, as well as in situations where we are required to do so by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our Site, our users, or others.

We also may use any information collected on or through our Site, including your personal information, (collectively referred to as “Collected Information”) for various purposes. While we might joke about using Collected Information to print physical paper copies or even turn them into origami hats, we want to clarify that we do not engage in such activities.

Specifically, we may use IP addresses to provide aggregated data to advertisers about the volume of usage on the Site, to determine your general (but not precise) geographic location, to create and segment audiences, and to target advertising. This helps us deliver more relevant and valuable content to you and other visitors.
Additionally, we and our third-party service providers may use Collected Information and the associated statistical data to deliver targeted advertisements to you and other visitors of the Site. We may store Collected Information for as long as needed for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy, which may be indefinitely. This ensures that we can continue to provide you with the best possible service and experience on our Site.
6. Disclosure of Your Information
We may freely share and disclose aggregated and other non-personal information (including anonymized information and other non-personal information that is automatically collected as you navigate through and use the Site) without any restrictions, as permitted by law. This information is typically used for analytical purposes, such as understanding user behavior, improving the Site’s functionality, and enhancing user experience.
In particular, we may share the Collected Information with certain of our third-party service providers, such as our web hosting provider. These service providers may collect non-personal information through server logs, which track various aspects of your interaction with the Site, such as the pages you visit, the time spent on the Site, and technical details about your device and internet connection. We rely on these service providers to ensure the Site operates smoothly and efficiently, and sharing this information is necessary to facilitate the services they provide.
We may also share the Collected Information with some of our business and marketing partners to further our organizational mission or to deliver the content, materials, and services available on or through the Site to you. This collaboration is aimed at enhancing the value and relevance of the content and services we provide, and it helps us tailor our offerings to better meet your needs.
We and our third-party service providers may produce reports on Site traffic, usage patterns, and similar data generated from non-personal Collected Information. These reports are used to gain insights into how the Site is being used and to make improvements based on user behavior. We may share these reports with our business and marketing partners, as well as other relevant parties, to help them understand the Site’s performance and to foster collaborative projects.
We reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify you, and we may use and disclose any information about or relating to you, including personal information, to third parties without your consent if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to:
- Comply with a Court Order, Search Warrant, Subpoena, or Other Legal Process: We may be required by law to disclose information to comply with court orders, search warrants, subpoenas, or other legal processes.
- Comply with Legal, Regulatory, or Administrative Requirements of Any Governmental Authorities: We may need to provide information to governmental authorities to meet legal, regulatory, or administrative requirements.

- In an Emergency, to Protect the Health and Safety of Our Site’s Users or the General Public: In the event of an emergency, we may disclose information to protect the health and safety of our users or the general public.
- Enforce Compliance with Our Terms of Service or Other Contractual Obligations: We may use and disclose your information to enforce compliance with our Terms of Service or other contractual agreements.
If all or part of our company is sold, merged, or otherwise transferred to another entity, we may transfer the Collected Information to that entity as part of the transaction. This transfer is necessary to ensure the continued operation and maintenance of the Site and its services under new ownership.
Every authorization you grant to us in this Privacy Policy is also extended to any third party that we may contract for the purpose of operating, maintaining, repairing, or otherwise improving or preserving the Site or its underlying files or systems. You agree not to hold us liable for the actions of these third parties, even if we would normally be held vicariously liable for their actions. If any of these third parties commit a tort or other actionable wrong against you, you must take legal action against them directly.
7. Cookies and Beacons
Cookies aren’t just the delicious treats you might enjoy with a glass of milk; they also play a significant role in the digital world. In the context of web browsing, cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. These cookies help to enhance your user experience by remembering your preferences, such as your language settings or login information, and by allowing us to analyze how you use our Site. This analysis is crucial for understanding user behavior, improving site functionality, and managing our advertising strategies.
When you access our Site using your web browser, these cookies are placed on your device. There are two main types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device even after you end your browsing session. Persistent cookies are particularly useful for maintaining your preferences and recognizing you when you return to the Site.
We use cookies for several purposes:
- Saving Preferences: Cookies help us remember your settings and preferences, making your experience more personalized and convenient.
- User Recognition: When you revisit our Site, cookies allow us to recognize you, which can speed up your access and tailor the content to your interests.
- Analytics: Analytics cookies provide valuable data on how users interact with our Site, including information about site traffic, user engagement, and the effectiveness of our content and advertising campaigns.
- Advertising Management: Advertising cookies are used to manage, track, target, and serve ads through third-party service providers, ensuring that the ads you see are relevant to your interests.
If you disable cookies in your browser, you might not be able to access the full functionality of our Site. Some features may not work as expected, and you might not receive a personalized experience.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. However, if you prefer to manage your cookie settings, you can do so through your browser’s settings. Here are some common options:
- Refuse Cookies: You can set your browser to refuse all cookies.
- Notify When Cookies Are Sent: You can configure your browser to alert you when a cookie is being sent.
- Disable Cookies: You can disable cookies altogether, though this may affect your user experience.
The “Help” feature in most browsers provides detailed instructions on how to manage cookie settings. For more information and guidance on managing browser cookies, you can visit the website www.allaboutcookies.org.
In addition to cookies, we use web beacons to monitor traffic patterns and user behavior on our Site. A web beacon, also known as a tracking pixel or clear GIF, is an object embedded in a web page that is usually invisible to you. Web beacons allow us to confirm that you have viewed specific pages or content, which helps us understand how users navigate through our Site.
We, along with our service providers and other third parties, analyze the information derived from cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, scripts, and other tracking technologies. This information is often matched or combined with data you provide, as well as data collected from public and commercial sources. It’s important to note that while we use these technologies to improve and personalize your experience, third parties may also use their own cookies and tracking methods on our Site. We do not control the use of these third-party technologies, and their use is governed by their respective privacy policies.
If you’re new to the Internet and find this information a bit confusing, just remember that cookies in this context are digital, not edible. We urge you not to try dunking your mouse in milk and eating it, as this is the most common complaint we receive after users read our Privacy Policy. We hope this explanation clarifies the use of cookies and web beacons on our Site and helps you make informed decisions about your online experience.
8. Online Tracking and “Do Not Track” Signals
Some web browsers offer a feature that allows you to enable a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. When this setting is enabled, your browser sends a special signal to websites you visit, indicating that you prefer not to have your online activities tracked. However, our systems do not currently recognize or respond to browser DNT signals. If we decide to recognize DNT signals in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to explain how we handle such signals and what steps we take to comply with your preferences.
We may collaborate with third parties that use various tracking technologies on our website. These third parties may track your activity on the site over time, as well as your interactions with our advertisements and other communications. The information collected is used to determine which ads you are likely to see on third-party websites and applications based on your apparent interests, a practice known as interest-based advertising (IBA).
For more detailed information about interest-based advertising and to understand your options for opting out, you can visit the following websites:
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA)
Additionally, if you want to learn more about the “Do Not Track” feature and how it works, you can visit All About DNT.
We are committed to transparency and providing you with the tools and information you need to control your online privacy. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
9.Our Third-Party Service Providers
Advertising agencies, advertising networks, and other companies may place advertisements on our website, as well as elsewhere on the Internet. These third parties use their own cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information about you. It’s important to note that we do not have control over the use of such technologies, and we are not responsible for how these third parties gather and use information about you. However, several of our service providers who use cookies and other tracking technologies on our site offer the option to opt out of their internet-based advertising.

Please note that even if you opt out of receiving ads tailored to your interests, you will still see ads from online advertising networks. However, these ads will not be tailored to your specific interests, and therefore may be less relevant to you.
10. Third Party Websites
We may provide links to third-party websites from our own Site. It is important to note that we have no control over these external websites and are not responsible for their content, functionality, or the way they handle your personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy is specific to our Site and does not apply to any third-party websites or advertisements. We cannot be held liable for the actions or privacy practices of any other website or app.
Additionally, our Site may offer you the ability to interact with social plugins from various social media platforms, such as Facebook (facebook.com), Google+ (plus.google.com), Twitter (twitter.com), and Pinterest (pinterest.com). When you visit a website that features these social plugins, the social media platforms may receive data about your visit, regardless of whether you have an account with them or are logged in. In some cases, we may be aware that you have clicked on a social plugin, such as a Facebook “Like” button, or we may receive other information from these social media platforms. Similarly, if you have previously provided personally identifiable information to a third-party that operates a plugin on our Site, that third-party may recognize you when you visit our Site.
Your use of these social media plugins is governed by the privacy policies of the respective social media sites, which may differ significantly from our own. We recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies and other agreements that govern your use of these third-party websites. While we understand that you may have a great deal of free time and a keen interest in these policies, we urge you to prioritize your well-being and consider other productive activities. However, if you do choose to spend an exorbitant amount of time reviewing these policies, we encourage you to share your findings with us in a detailed and meticulously proofread memorandum. We will carefully consider your report and, if deemed necessary, place it under that corner of the table that is slightly lower than the rest for further review.
In summary, while we strive to provide a secure and privacy-respecting environment on our Site, we cannot extend this control to third-party websites or social media plugins. We encourage you to be vigilant and informed about the privacy practices of any external sites you visit or social plugins you use.
11. Law Enforcement
We may disclose your information to a third party where we believe, in good faith, that it is desirable to do so for the purposes of a civil action, criminal investigation, or other legal matter. This includes situations where we need to establish or exercise our legal rights, assert and defend against legal claims, or if we believe such disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take other action regarding actual or suspected illegal or fraudulent activities. Additionally, we may disclose information to protect the physical safety or well-being of any person, including our users, employees, and the general public.
In the event that we receive a subpoena or other legal request that affects your privacy, we may elect to notify you to give you an opportunity to file a motion to quash the subpoena. Alternatively, we may attempt to quash the subpoena ourselves, but we are not obligated to take either of these actions. It is important to note that if law enforcement is looking into your activities on our website, it may indicate that you are involved in serious legal issues. We take the privacy and security of our users very seriously, but we also have a responsibility to cooperate with legal authorities when necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of our platform.
12. Security of Information
We do not provide any guarantees regarding the security or privacy of your information. It is in our best interest to maintain the security of the Site, and we take reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, and destruction of the personal information under our control. However, it is important to understand that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
We strongly recommend that you take proactive steps to protect yourself from security threats. Some of these steps include using anti-virus software, installing and maintaining firewalls, and taking other precautions to secure your devices and data. Regularly updating your software and operating systems can also help to minimize the risk of security vulnerabilities.
If you become aware of any breach of Site security or any violation of this Privacy Policy, we urge you to notify us immediately. You can do this by contacting our support team through the methods provided on our Site. Prompt notification will allow us to take the necessary actions to address the issue and mitigate any potential harm.
In the spirit of the fable, we encourage you to be the third pig, not one of the first two. This means being well-prepared and taking the necessary precautions to protect your information, rather than being complacent and leaving yourself vulnerable to security threats. By working together, we can help ensure a safer and more secure online environment.
13. California Online Privacy Protection Act
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), enacted in 2003, is a significant piece of legislation in the United States that specifically addresses privacy concerns related to the internet and online services. This act requires operators of commercial websites and online services that collect personally identifiable information (PII) from California residents to post a conspicuous privacy policy. The policy must detail the types of information collected, how it is used, with whom it is shared, and the process for changes to the policy. CalOPPA also mandates that websites provide a way for users to opt out of the sharing of their personal information with third parties.
The scope of CalOPPA is broad, covering any business that operates a website accessible to California residents, regardless of the business’s physical location. This means that even if a company is based outside of California, it must comply with CalOPPA if it collects personal information from California residents through its website or online service.
Key provisions of the California Online Privacy Protection Act include:
- Privacy Policy Disclosure: Websites must clearly and conspicuously post a privacy policy that specifies the categories of personally identifiable information (PII) collected and the purposes for which the information is used.
- Sharing Information: The policy must disclose whether PII is shared with third parties and provide users with the ability to opt out of such sharing.
- Information Collection Practices: Details about how PII is collected, whether through active submission by users or passive collection, must be provided.
- Security Measures: While CalOPPA does not explicitly mandate specific security measures, the act implies that operators must take reasonable steps to protect the PII they collect.
- Updates to Privacy Policy: If the privacy policy changes, the operator must notify users of these changes, typically by posting the new policy and indicating the date of the last update.
- Contact Information: The privacy policy must include contact information for the website operator, allowing users to address privacy concerns or ask questions.
- Compliance and Enforcement: The California Attorney General has the authority to enforce CalOPPA, and violations can result in legal action, including fines and other penalties.
CalOPPA is a foundational law in the realm of online privacy, setting a standard that has influenced other states and countries in developing their own privacy regulations. It is particularly important for businesses to understand and comply with CalOPPA to avoid legal repercussions and to build trust with their California-based users.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or to enhance the protection of your personal information. When we make such changes, the updated version of the Privacy Policy will be posted on our Site, replacing the previous version. You can easily determine when the Privacy Policy was last updated by checking the date at the bottom of the document.
Any modifications or updates to this Privacy Policy will become effective immediately upon posting to the Site.

We are committed to ensuring that your data is handled securely and in compliance with applicable laws, regardless of its location.
16. Communication With Children
We strongly encourage parents and guardians to actively engage in discussions with minors regarding their online activities. It is important to be fully informed about the websites they visit and the applications they use, as this can help ensure their safety and well-being in the digital world. Our Site is specifically designed for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not intend to cater to children under the age of 13, and we strictly enforce our policy to protect their privacy and security.
If you are under 13 years of age, you are explicitly prohibited from using this Site, registering an Account, or providing any personal information to us, including but not limited to your name, email address, user name, or password. Attempting to do so is a violation of our terms and conditions, and we will take necessary actions to ensure compliance.
Despite our efforts, it is possible that personal information from individuals under the age of 13 may be inadvertently collected through fraudulent or deceptive means. If we receive such information, and if we are notified or otherwise become aware of it, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This includes informing the parents or guardians of the affected child and taking appropriate measures to prevent future occurrences.
If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and you believe your child has provided personal information on our Site without your consent, and you would like us to delete this information, please do not hesitate to contact us via email.

Our copyright policy is designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations, ensuring a fair and respectful environment for all. Here are the key points of our copyright policy:
18.1 Respect for Intellectual Property
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. Any content uploaded or shared on our platform must not infringe upon the copyrights of any individual or entity. This includes text, images, videos, music, and any other form of creative work.
18.2 User Content
Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights to upload, share, or distribute any content they post on our platform. By uploading content, users grant [Company Name] a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the content in connection with the platform and [Company Name]’s business, including for promotional and marketing purposes.
18.3 Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify us immediately. Our DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown procedure is outlined below:
- Notice: To report a copyright infringement, please send a written notice to [Contact Information], including the following:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit [Company Name] to locate the material.
- Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Takedown: Upon receiving a valid notice, [Company Name] will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and notify the user who posted the content. The user will have the opportunity to submit a counter-notification.
- Counter-Notification: If you believe that your content was removed by mistake, you may submit a counter-notification. The counter-notification should include:
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
- Your name, address, and telephone number.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Restoration: After receiving a valid counter-notification, [Company Name] will forward it to the party who submitted the original notice. If the original notifier does not file a lawsuit seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity, [Company Name] may restore the removed content or re-enable access to it.
