Use of personally-identifiable information
OLS uses your personally-identifiable information to fulfill your requests for information, to process your requests to participate in conferences and events, or for such other business purposes as you may initiate or request.

OLS may provide your personally-identifiable information to any of its affiliates for such purposes.
Cookies and IP addresses
The Site uses cookies to identify you and your interests and to track usage of the Site. Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your computer that help us know which browser you are using and where you have been on the Site and on Web sites to which you may link in order to use some of our features. By accepting our cookie, additional site functionality may be available to you. A user who does not accept the cookie from the Site may not be able to access certain areas of the Site. OLS also logs IP addresses, or the location of computers on the Internet, to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the Site.

Beacons
Like many web sites, OLS may also use pixel tags, also known as beacons, spotlight tags or web bugs, to improve our understanding of site traffic, visitor behavior, and response to promotional campaigns, as a supplement to our server logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement. We may also implement pixel tags provided by other companies, for the same purpose.
Links to Other Sites
Please be aware that when you are on OLS or any site owned by OLS, or when you receive an email message from us on behalf of a marketer according to permission granted through our opt-in process for newsletters and special offers, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control, such as the marketer's site. There may be links to other sites from OLS pages or from the email message we send to you that take you outside OLS. These other sites may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data or solicit personal information. The privacy policies of these other sites may be significantly different from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites and cannot guarantee the security of any of your personal information collected there.
Pops
OLS reserves the right to serve pop advertisements to visitors upon entry and exit. The frequency of these pops are controlled by cookies, mentioned heretofore in this Privacy Policy. Although we do serve pop advertisements, you can choose to block these pop-up windows by using a pop-up blocker software. There are many good pop-up blockers on the market.
Security
Protecting the security of your personal information is very important to us. When we store information you have provided to us, that information is protected by security measures that include "firewalls" (a combination of computer hardware and software that helps keep unauthorized visitors from accessing information within our computer network), "intrusion detection systems" (a combination of computer hardware and software that helps detect any unauthorized visitors), "secure socket layer" (data encryption used when transmitting certain information such as personal information from a form or a transaction within areas of our website or our partner websites where ecommerce transactions are processed) and other security measures such as secure storage. Only authorized OLS personnel are provided access to personally-identifiable information, and these employees are required to treat this information as confidential. OLS strives to protect your personal information and privacy. We cannot, however, guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, alteration or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.
Children's on-line privacy protection
OLS understands the importance of protecting children's privacy, especially in an on-line environment. The Site is not intentionally designed for or directed at children 13 years of age or younger, and OLS will not intentionally collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 13.
Reporting Unsolicited E-mail
Despite our concerted efforts to prevent unsolicited e-mail (spam) from being relayed through OLS servers, unsolicited e-mail may sometimes get through. OLS NEVER sends unsolicited e-mail. We view spam as a serious violation of privacy and a misuse of the Internet in general. If you receive an unsolicited e-mail with a domain of olstrading.com, please send it immediately to info-at-olstrading.com. Upon receipt of the email, we will do our utmost to track down the offender and take any actions necessary to stop spam messages.
