Privacy Policy

Updated September 13th, 2024

Owwll (“Owwll”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a new type of social network and online platform for professionals and experts. Our platform and its Services (described below) allow users to find and be found for business opportunities and their expertise, and to connect with others and have access to them for their expertise and information. We help you and others come together to network, collaborate, learn, talk, and listen to each other.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) informs you our policies and procedures for the collection, use, and disclosure of information through www.Owwll.com (“Site”). It includes our website(s), features, applications, and/or online services owned or controlled by us (collectively with the Site, “Service” or “Services”). This Policy also includes any information we collect and retain offline in connection with our Services (e.g., we combine the information we collect from you from the Site, through the Services generally, or offline). This Policy applies when you use our Services. We offer our users choices about the information we collect, use, disclose, and share as described in this Policy. This Privacy Policy also informs you about your rights to access, control, revise, and delete your information.

This Privacy Policy describes the choices available to you for the use of, your access to, and how to update and correct your personal information.

All provisions in this Privacy Policy will govern all information we may gather about you throughout your use of and interaction with our Services, including but not limited to, all electronic communications and/or user submissions as necessary for us to comply with applicable laws and provide a satisfactory experience for our users. To that end, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-parties, as that information is beyond our reach, and you should not contact us for any rights, claims, or concerns regarding Privacy Policies of any given third-party. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that are not under our supervisory control directly or indirectly.
