OpenValue Services – U.S. Privacy Statement
Effective Date: September 8, 2025
1. Introduction
OpenValue Services ("we," "us," "our") takes your privacy seriously. This U.S. Privacy Statement applies to our operations in the United States and governs the personal data we collect, process, and retain via our website (openvalue-services.com) and related service offerings. It complements—but does not replace—our EU Privacy Notice by addressing specific U.S. regulatory and consumer protection standards.
2. Information We Collect
We collect:
• Contact-Initiated Data: When you reach out via our contact form, email, or phone, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, message content, and any attachments. This supports responding to your inquiry or job application.
• Automatically Collected Technical Data: Information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referrer page, accessed resources, timestamp, and data quantity—used to ensure website functionality, performance, and security
• Cookies & Tracking Technologies: We may utilize cookies or similar tools consistent with U.S. digital standards to improve your experience and for web analytics (even though the EU site indicates they do not use cookies).
3. How We Use Your Data
Your personal data is processed for:
• Responding to inquiries and job applications.
• Improving our website and services, ensuring technical stability and performance.
• Security purposes, including mitigating unauthorized access or attacks.
We rely on legal bases including consent, performance of a contract, and our legitimate business interests (e.g., service provision, system security).
4. Data Sharing
We will not sell, rent, or lease your personal data. We may share information when:
• You have given explicit consent.
• Required by law or regulation.
• Necessary to respond to legal claims or disputes.
• With trusted service providers (e.g., hosting, email, IT maintenance) bound by contractual privacy obligations.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data consistent with U.S. federal, state, and commercial standards. Contact-related data is kept only as long as necessary (e.g., to address your inquiry or comply with contractual or legal obligations), then securely deleted or anonymized. Logs for technical data are retained temporarily for security and performance analysis, then anonymized, consistent with the EU policy.
6. Your Privacy Rights (U.S.)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:
• Right to access (obtain copy of your personal data).
• Right to correct or update inaccurate data.
• Right to delete your personal information, where applicable.
• Right to opt out of certain uses of your data, including improving marketing or analytics.

7. Cookies & Tracking
While our EU-based policy currently states that no cookies are used, in the U.S. market we may use cookies or similar technologies for site optimization and analytics. You may manage or disable cookies via your browser settings; note that disabling them may affect site usability.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard technical, physical, and organizational measures—such as encryption, secure hosting, access controls—to protect your personal data. However, no system is infallible, and we cannot guarantee complete security.
9. Children
Our services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If made aware of such data being collected, we will promptly delete it.
10. International Transfers
If any U.S.-collected data is transferred to the EU or other regions, we will ensure adequate safeguards are in place (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect your data in compliance with applicable laws.

We may update this U.S. Privacy Statement from time to time (e.g., to reflect changes in law or our operations). The date at the top will indicate the effective version. We encourage you to review it periodically.
