General Statement

We are committed to protecting the privacy of personal information that comes our way in any way you interact with out website. We will never sell, rent, or lease such information. We will never give your information to a third-party unless, in exceptional circumstance, we are required to do so by law and court order.

How We Collect Personal Data

We do not actively collect personal data but contact with personal data is possible if you subscribe to our newsletter as your email is required. If you make a donation to help us, your email (not your name)  is also revealed to us by PayPal. Your IP address is also routinely logged and this is not unique to us rather how every website operates.

Location Data

Your IP address provides an approximate area of your location (in most cases that of your ISP) rather than your personal location. An IP address can accurately reflect its country location but we understand that this may not be your country or area location if you’re using a VPN.

Access Log Information

It is a well-established fact that web servers collect and log access and usage data comprising of browser details (type, version, cookie info, language, time-zone, plugins, etc) and IP addresses. Based on the browser information, such gathering of information can also make it possible for a previously visited website to be known to a current website. We are stating this here, so you know your IP addresses are automatically logged by our webservers.

Cookie Information

We use cookies to provide our web visitors with the best possible online experience, such as providing more relevant content based on previous visits. We notify visitors with our use of cookies and a link to this Policy and if they consented to the use, we disable cookie notification for a 60-day period so long as our cookie is forwarded by the client browser during its life time. We also use analytic cookies with various pages to work out the stat of website page visits. You can read more on cookies at the Information Commissioner’s Office website.

Tracking Information

We use third-party website visitors’ statistical tools such as Google Analytics for the purpose of understanding the distribution of our potential customers by region, personal profile, etc., as provided by third-party service providers.

How We Share and Disclose Personal Information

OROMIA TODAY has no control over how personal data is shared or disclosed. We do not sell your personal information. We do not pass on your information to other businesses or entities without your prior permission. One overriding exception to this is if we are required by law enforcement authorities or court order to access your information.

The following summarizes the conditions under which personal data sharing or disclosure can occur:

• With consent: OROMIA TODAY may share your personal information with third parties only when we have your consent to do so.
• To comply with the law: if we receive a request for information (such as court order), we may disclose information we have on you (such as IP address) if we reasonably believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by any applicable law, regulation or legal process.
• To prevent fraud, defend ours and others’ rights and safety: Information may be disclosed in the interest of protecting and defending individuals and properties, including enforcing service contracts or policies, in connection with investigating security issues and preventing fraud.
