Opencity Inc. Website Privacy Policy

We are updating our Privacy Policy to reflect the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We believe this sets a new global benchmark standard. The purpose of this site is to master inbound best practices.  This experiment was intended to demonstrate how close to best practices we could attain using free or inexpensive tools.

Opencity Inc. commitment to data privacy protection

Protecting the security and privacy of your personal data is important to Opencity Inc.; we therefore conduct our business in compliance with applicable laws on data privacy protection and data security. We hope the policy outlined below will help you understand what data Opencity Inc. may collect. Opencity Inc. uses and safeguards that data and with whom we may share it.

Personal data

Through our website, Opencity Inc. will not collect any personal data about you (e.g. your first name, last name, telephone number or email address), unless you voluntarily choose to submit it to us (e.g. by a form submission), or provide your consent, or unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations for the protection of your personal data.

Purpose of use

When you do provide us with personal data, we usually use it to respond to your inquiry, or provide you access to specific information or to support our customer relationship with you:

We may store and process personal data; or we (or third parties on our behalf including HubSpot and MailChimp) may use personal data to contact you about an Opencity Inc. offer in support of your business needs or to conduct online surveys to understand better our customers’ needs. If you choose not to have your personal data used to support our customer relationship (especially direct marketing or market research), we will respect your choice. We do not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties.

Purpose limitation

Opencity Inc. will collect, use or disclose personal data supplied by you online only for the purposes disclosed to you, unless the disclosure:

  • is a use of the personal data for any additional purpose that is directly related to the original purpose for which the personal data was collected,
  • is necessary to prepare, negotiate and perform a contract with you,
  • is required by law or the competent governmental or judicial authorities,
  • is necessary to establish or preserve a legal claim or defence,
  • is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activities, such as willful attacks on Opencity Inc. information technology systems.
Communications or utilization data

Through your use of telecommunications services to access our website, your communications data (e.g. Internet protocol address) or utilization data (e.g. information on the beginning, end and extent of each access, and information on the telecommunications services you accessed) are technically generated and could conceivably relate to personal data. To the extent that there is a compelling necessity, the collection, processing and use of your communications or utilization data will occur and will be performed in accordance with the applicable data privacy protection legal framework.

When you access our websites, we may automatically (i.e., not by registration) collect data (e.g. type of Internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the website from which you came, number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed). This data is captured by Google Analytics, HubSpot, MailChimp and Hootsuite. These companies have indicated that they are each compliant with GDPR.
