Our disclosure of your personal information to third parties
We may share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy policy:
We may share your user personal information, if you consent, after letting you know what information will be shared, with whom, and why.
- We may share your data for security reasons. E.g. If you are a member of an organization, opensourceprocurement.org may share your username, your usage data and your device information associated with that organization with an owner and/or administrator of the organization who has agreed to the corporate terms of service or applicable customer agreements, to the extent that such information is provided only to investigate or respond to a security incident that affects or compromises the security of that particular organization.

- We share certain aggregated, non-personally identifying information with others about how our users, collectively, use opensourceprocurement.org.
- We do not sell your user personal information for monetary or other consideration.
Please note that these third parties may be in other countries where the laws on processing personal information may be less stringent than in your country.
Our Use of Cookies, Web Beacons, Web Analytics Services, and Links
- Cookies opensourceprocurement.org uses “cookies.” Cookies are text files we place in your computer’s browser to store your preferences. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your e-mail address or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, registering at one of our sites. However, once you choose to furnish the site with personal information, this information may be linked to the data stored in the cookie. We use cookies to understand site usage and to improve the content and offerings on our sites. We also may use cookies to offer you programs, or services.

- Web Beacons opensourceprocurement.org and third parties may also use small pieces of code called “web beacons” or “clear gifs” to collect anonymous and aggregate advertising metrics, such as counting page views, promotion views, or advertising responses. These “web beacons” may be used to deliver cookies that conform to the cookie requirements of opensourceprocurement.org.
- Web Analytics Services We use Google Analytics, a service for the marketing analysis of the site provided by Google, Inc.
