This section, Sharing with Third Parties, provides examples of how we share your information with third parties.
(a) Service Providers. We use third parties to help us operate and improve the Service (e.g., hosting providers, e-commerce service providers and analytics service providers). We may provide these third parties information we collect and they may collect information from you and about your use of the Service. We may provide information we collect to third parties and it will, unless specifically noted otherwise in this Policy, be governed by this Policy and may only be used by those third parties to help us operate or improve our business or the Service (including by improving the products and services that third parties provide to us); to provide services to us; and to comply with legal requirements and assist law enforcement. We do not control information collected by third parties and are not responsible for their use of that information. Please review their privacy policies for more information on their information collection, use, and sharing practices.

Google may use cookies and pixels to collect usage information from users that visit the Service, including information about the pages where users enter and exit the Service, what pages users view on the Service, time spent on each page, browser version, operating system, internet protocol address, and geolocation information. These technologies allow Google to recognize a user when a user visits the Service and when the user visits other websites. Google shares the information it collects from the Service and from other websites with us and other website operators, including but not limited to age range, gender, geographic regions, general interests and details about devices used to visit websites and purchase items. For more information regarding Google’s collection methods and use of information, see the Google Privacy Policy by visiting the following link: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, please visit the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
(c) Legal Requirements. In some cases, we or our service providers may disclose your personal information as required by law; to enforce this Policy or any other agreement between you and OZSG; if we or our service providers believe that disclosure is needed to protect the Service, any Host or Guest, or our rights; prevent or stop fraud or any other activity that, in our sole discretion, may cause harm to person or property or be illegal, unethical, or legally actionable; to government regulators; to law enforcement authorities; in connection with any complaint, dispute, claim, conflict, judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, or legal process served on us or the Service; and to respond to a physical threat to you or another person.

4. ONLINE TRACKING AND YOUR CHOICES
4.1. As discussed above, because we and our third party service providers automatically collect Service usage information through the use of Cookies (including as described in Section 1.2, Information that is Automatically Collected, and Section 3.3, Sharing with Third Parties), your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of automatically collected information. One way to attempt to “opt out” of the collection of any information through Cookies and some (but not all) other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your browser to delete and disable Cookies and other tracking/recording tools. However, getting a “Do Not Track” signal to work as you might want is difficult and may not be possible. Using browsers as an example, not all tracking technologies can be controlled by browsers; unique aspects of your browser might be recognizable even if you disable a tracking technology; not all settings will necessarily last or be effective; even if a setting is effective for one purpose data still may be collected for another; and even if one website observes a “Do Not Track” signal, that website usually will not be able to control other websites. Additionally, if you select a “Do Not Track” option or disable Cookies on your device, certain Service may become unavailable or may not function properly.
4.2. You may adjust certain aspects of Apps, such as turning on and off notifications, by adjusting your preferences within the “Settings”.
5. INFORMATION SECURITY MEASURES
Keeping secure personal information that we collect is of great concern to us. While we have mechanisms in place to safeguard your personal information once we receive it, no storage or transmission of data can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. When you provide information to the Service, you do so at your own risk and fully understand and agree to accept the risks of unauthorized access, use and disclosure of your personal information that may occur despite our compliance with this Policy and implementation of security technologies.
We will keep your personal information in a file specific to you, and store your personal information at the offices and data centers of us and our service providers in the United States. As we are a U.S. business, we use and store your personal information in the United States. If you do not reside in the United States, you should note that any personal information we collect is subject to United States’ laws, and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of the United States, pursuant to the laws of the United States. For written information about our policies and practices regarding foreign service providers, contact our Privacy Officer (see Section 10 below).
6. CHILDREN
The Service is intended for users over the age of 18 and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us at by using the contact information in the Privacy Questions section at the bottom of this Policy, and we will take steps to remove the information and terminate the child’s Account.
7. CALIFORNIA SHINE THE LIGHT LAW
(a) California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request and obtain from us once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed personal information (as defined under that statute) of that California resident, for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year and the categories of that kind of personal information that was disclosed to them. If you are a California resident and you wish to make such a request you may contact us by using the contact information in the Privacy Questions section at the bottom of this Policy.
(b) While the Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 18, if you are a California resident under age 18 and you believe your information has become publicly-available through the Service and you are unable to remove it, you may request removal by contacting us at: pypfeedback@ozsgarage.com When requesting removal, you must be specific about the information you want removed and provide us with specific information, such as the URL for each page where the information is located, so that we can find it. Removal of your content or information from the Service does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of that content or information from our systems or the systems of our service providers. We are not required to delete the information posted by you; our obligations under California law are satisfied so long as we anonymize the information or render it invisible to other users and the public.
8. ACCESSING AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
If you would like to update your personal information associated with your Account, you may make changes in the “My Profile” or “Settings” portions of the Service. Aside from updates you make, at any time, you may challenge the accuracy or completeness of your personal information in our records.

Where appropriate, we will transmit the updated information to third parties having access to your personal information.
If you would like to cancel your Account, request access or a correction to your personal information (other than corrections you can make in the “My Profile” or “Settings” portions of the Service), please contact us using the “Contact Us” feature within the Service.
