sensitive information (such as your password), we encrypt that information in transit using
industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology. No method of
transmission over the Internet, method of electronic storage or other security methods are one
hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use reasonable efforts to protect your
personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You can find out more about

Privacy Shield, or about our privacy practices generally, please contact us at:

which provides an independent third-party dispute resolution service based in the United
States. TRUSTe has committed to respond to complaints and to provide appropriate recourse

complaint, you may pursue binding arbitration through the Privacy Shield Panel. To learn
more about the Privacy Shield Panel, see here.
As explained here we sometimes provide personal information to third parties to perform
services on our behalf. If we transfer personal information received under the Privacy Shield
to a third party, the third party's access, use, and disclosure of the personal data must also be
in compliance with our Privacy Shield obligations, and we will remain liable under the
Privacy Shield for any failure to do so by the third party unless we prove we are not
responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
You can review our Privacy Shield adherence by emailing us at admin@opoplan.com to
request details. The OPOPLAN Group Companies are subject to the investigatory and
enforcement powers of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We may be required to
disclose personal information that we handle under the Privacy Shield in response to lawful
