Personal Data Collection and Use

At OCNAT.org, we are committed to responsibly collecting, processing, and safeguarding the personal information of all users in compliance with applicable United States privacy laws, including but not limited to those governing healthcare information and digital data protection. We gather personal data solely for legitimate operational purposes, ensuring that the data is relevant, adequate, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed. User information, such as contact details, health inquiries, or browsing patterns, may be collected when you interact with our website or contact us for support. We utilize this data to improve user experience, deliver tailored information, ensure the secure operation of our services, respond to user queries, and where applicable, comply with legal obligations.

All personal data is stored securely and is only accessed by authorized personnel who require access for the fulfillment of their job duties. Data may occasionally be anonymized and aggregated for analytical or statistical purposes, but individual users will not be identifiable in such datasets. We will never sell, rent, or otherwise disclose any personal information to third parties except where necessary for the operation of our platform, compliance with law, or as expressly authorized by the user. Users may opt out of non-essential data processing at any time, and we respect all requests in accordance with legal requirements and internal policies.
