Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of information that a website stores directly on the computer you are using. Cookies can contain a variety of information, from a simple count of how often you visit a website to information which allows customization of a website for your use.
The Foundation uses cookies to enhance user experience and evaluate website performance. Anytime a cookie is used, personal information is encrypted for our use only and is protected from third party access (a cookie cannot be read by a website other than the one that sets the cookie). This information is necessary for us to ensure the security and functionality of our website and related technology resources.
Google Analytics
We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of our website. This tool uses persistent cookies which allows us to measure behavioral information about interactions and understand:
• How visitors use our website
• Which pages are most frequently visited
• Website performance and usability
Visitors can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads using Google’s Ad Settings. You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our website. For more information on opting out of Google Analytics tracking, visit this Google page (opens in a new window).

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties.
We may share information with trusted service providers that assist us in operating our website and conducting our operations, such as:

• Technology support vendors
These service providers are authorized to use personal information only as necessary to provide services on our behalf.

• To protect the rights, property, or safety of the Foundation or others
Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
While we strive to use commercially reasonable measures to safeguard information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:
• Fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

Third-Party Websites
To provide you with greater access of information, we may provide links to non-Oklahoma Central Foundation companies. We are not responsible for the content of the alternate website and cannot guarantee the relevance, timeliness, or accuracy of the materials provided by other agencies or organizations. The Foundation does not represent either the third party or the member if the two enter into a transaction.
Privacy and security policies of non-Oklahoma Central Foundation websites may differ from those practiced by the Foundation. We do not control any of these sites and are not responsible for the privacy or security on these sites. While we hope these organizations join us in respecting your privacy, and while we do attempt to monitor these sites to maintain our high standards, we offer these links only as a convenience to our members. If you choose to link to one of these sites, we strongly suggest that you review their privacy statement, especially prior to entering any non-public personal information.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
