2. What third-party services do we use?

On our websites, we incorporate social plugins from popular social networks like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. Here’s how they work:

• · When you visit our websites, social media plugins are initially deactivated. This means no information is transmitted to the network operators. If you want to use any of these networks, simply click on the respective plugin to establish a direct connection to their servers.
• · If you’re logged into your user account on a social network when you activate the plugin, the network can recognize your visit to our websites and associate it with your account. To prevent this, please log out of the network before activating the social plugin. The social network cannot detect your visits to other websites of ours unless you activate its social plugin on those sites too.
• · When you activate a social plugin, the network directly transfers the available content to your browser, which integrates it into our websites. During this process, data transfers controlled by the respective social network may occur. Your connection to a social network, the data transfers between the network and your system, and your interactions on the platform are governed solely by the network’s data protection provisions.
• · The social plugin remains active until you deactivate it or delete your cookies. For more information about cookies setting, please read our Cookie Notice .

Please note that our website may feature links to external websites beyond our control, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. If you access these websites through the provided links, the operators of those websites may collect information from you according to their own privacy policies, which may differ from ours.

We may also disclose information in emergency situations to prevent or halt potentially illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activities. When we receive a request for personal data from a law enforcement authority, we assess the necessity and proportionality of the requested information.

4. How do we transfer your data outside your region?

By making a purchase or otherwise submitting your personal data to us, your information may be transferred to OJA in the countries other than your place of residence or in which the information was originally collected.

OJA complies with laws on the transfer of personal data between countries to help ensure your data is protected as described in this Statement, wherever it may be.

These legitimate interests may include OJA’s interest in improving its products and services, enhancing safety and security, protecting OJA or its business partners against wrongful conduct, and responding to customer inquiries and claims. Where applicable, we will inform you whether and why we need certain information from you, for example, whether we need the information to fulfill a legal or contractual requirement and what the consequences are of not providing the information.
