When you use OpenSupply services to post your warehouses, find warehouses, display your information, message and communicate with users, and other features within our platform, we understand you’re trusting us with your data. We also know we have a responsibility to respect your privacy, and we work hard to do just that. This Privacy Notice explains what personal data we collect, why we use it, who we share it with, and how we protect it, along with the tools you can use to manage your privacy.

What is Personal Data?
When we use the term “personal data” in this Privacy Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual or household. It does not include aggregated or de-identified information that is maintained in a form that is not capable of being associated with or reasonably linked to an individual.
Our Collection and Use of Personal Data
The personal data we collect, the way we collect it, and how we use it will depend on how you are interacting with us and the type of services you use.
Information We Collect As You Use Our Services
Collection of Personal Data
As is true of most digital platforms, we and our third-party providers collect certain personal data automatically when you visit or interact with our websites, mobile apps, and other online services. This includes things like your search history, warehouses you view, message and communication, purchase activity, what you’ve clicked on and other uses of our websites, and the amount of time you spend looking at different parts of our websites.
Specifically, we and our third party partners may use tracking technologies to automatically collect commercial information, preferences, and internet, network and device information, including:
This information allows us to improve your customer experience. For example, we may use this information to enhance and personalize your user experience, to monitor and improve our websites and services, and for other internal purposes. We may also use this information to: (a) remember information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Sites; (b) provide custom, personalized content, and information; (c) identify and contact you across multiple devices; (d) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our services; (e) perform analytics and detect usage patterns on our services; (f) diagnose or fix technology problems; (g) detect or prevent fraud or other harmful activities; and (h) otherwise to plan for and enhance our services.
We and our third party partners may collect information through tracking technologies for personalized advertising purposes.
Information You Give Us or Create Using Our Services
Collection of Personal Data
When you use our services, websites, or apps, we collect personal data from you. We might also collect personal data about you from our business partners, payment processors, service providers, and other third parties who collect personal data on our behalf. This information might include:
Although we often collect the personal data described above directly from you, we may also collect certain information through our business partners, service providers, and other third parties that collect it on our behalf, such as communications providers, data brokers, payment processors, payment system providers, and information technology providers.
Please note that we link the personal data we collect in connection with our services with the other personal data that we collect and may use it for the purposes we describe in more detail in the other sections of this Privacy Notice.
Other Collection of Personal Data
In addition to the personal data collected above, we may also collect personal data as follows:
Other Uses of Personal Data
In addition to the uses identified above, we use the personal data we collect to:
Our Disclosure of Personal Data
We may disclose your personal data in the instances described below.
We disclose your personal data in the following ways:
Choices About Your Data
Profile Access and Data Sharing. You may access and update your profile information, such as your user name, address, or billing information, and may change some of your data sharing preferences on your account page.
Location and Device Permissions. You may control location tracking by adjusting your location services options on the “Settings” app on your mobile device. We may continue to approximate your location based on your IP address when you access the services through a computer or device. If you would like to update your device content access permissions, such as permissions to access your camera, you can do so in the “Settings” app on your mobile device.
Promotional Messages. You can stop receiving promotional email communications from us by following the “unsubscribe” instructions provided in such communications. We make every effort to promptly process all unsubscribe requests. You may still receive service-related communications, including account verification, transactional communications, changes/updates to features of the services, and technical and security notices.
Third Party Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising. We may participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history.
Third-Party Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising
We may participate in interest-based advertising and use third party advertising companies to serve you targeted advertisements based on your browsing history. We may permit third party online advertising networks, social media companies, and other third-party services to collect information about your use of our websites, including our mobile apps, over time so that they may play or display ads on our services, on other websites, apps, or services you may use, and on other devices you may use. Typically, though not always, the information used for interest-based advertising is collected through tracking technologies, such as cookies, Flash objects, web beacons, embedded scripts, mobile SDKs, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology (collectively, “tracking technologies”), which recognize the device you are using and collect information, including clickstream information, browser type, time and date you visited the site, device ID or AdID, geolocation, and other information. We may share a common account identifier (such as an e-mail address or user ID) or hashed data with our third-party advertising partners to help identify you across devices. We and our third-party partners may use this information to make the advertisements you see online more relevant to your interests, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research.
We, or our third-party partners, may link your various devices so that content you see on one device can result in relevant advertising on another device. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) or work with third-party partners who use tracking technologies or statistical modeling tools to determine if two or more devices are linked to a single user or household. We, and our partners, can use this cross-device linkage to serve interest-based advertising and other personalized content to you across your devices (including to improve your user experience), to perform analytics, and to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns.
In some of our offerings, including our mobile applications, we provide you with the option of logging in using an account that you may have with a social-media service, such as Apple, Google, or Facebook. For this type of log-in, you may be directed to the appropriate social-media log-in page, where you will enter your username and password (or account credentials) for the social-media service. (Through a social-media log-in, the social media service may know when you have used our offering.) The social media-service will then send us a token, which we will use to authenticate you for access. The social-media service may also share your name and email address with us, although we will not have access to your social-media account credentials. We may keep the token and your name and email address for purposes of identifying you, which enables us to maintain your preferences in our offering across different devices. As an example, by identifying you using this information, we can present to you your previous searches and saved properties in our mobile applications, even if you access the applications from different devices. Keeping this information also makes it possible for us to pre-populate your name and email in certain interfaces, such as log-in fields or contact forms.
Your Choices
As noted above, depending on your browser or mobile device, you may be able to set your browser to delete or notify you of cookies and other tracking technology by actively managing the settings on your browser or mobile device. You may be able to limit interest-based advertising through the settings on your mobile device by selecting “limit ad tracking” (iOS) or “opt-out of interest based ads” (Android). Please note that opt-outs are browser specific, so opting out on one browser will not affect a second browser, or device. Moreover, if you buy a new device, use a different browser, or clear all your cookies, you will have to opt out all over again. To learn more about interest-based advertising and how you may be able to opt-out of some of this advertising, you may wish to visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s online resources, at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, and/or the DAA’s resources at www.aboutads.info/choices. You may also be able to opt-out of some – but not all – interest-based ads served by mobile ad networks by visiting http://youradchoices.com/appchoices and downloading the mobile AppChoices app. Note that some of these opt-outs may not be effective unless your browser is set to accept cookies. If you delete cookies, change your browser settings, switch browsers or computers, or use another operating system, you may need to opt-out again.
Children’s Personal Data
Our websites and online services are not directed to, and we do not intend to or knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not use our websites or online services or otherwise provide us with any personal data either directly or by other means. If a child under the age of 13 has provided personal data to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us as described below to request that we remove the personal data from our systems. If we learn that any personal data we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal data.

These Additional U.S. State Privacy Disclosures supplement the above information by providing additional information about our personal data processing practices relating to individual residents of the States of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms defined in our Privacy Notice retain the same meaning in these Disclosures.
Additional Personal Data Disclosures
Sensitive Information
The following personal data elements we collect may be classified as “sensitive” under certain privacy laws (“sensitive information”):
We use this sensitive information for the purposes set forth in the “Our Collection and Use of Personal Data” section of our Privacy Notice, to enter into and perform a contract with you, to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, to protect the life or physical safety of you or others, or as otherwise permissible for our internal business purposes consistent with applicable laws.
We do not sell your sensitive information, and we do not process or otherwise share sensitive information for the purpose of targeted advertising.
De-identified Information
We may at times receive or process personal data to create de-identified data that can no longer reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular individual or household. Where we maintain deidentified data, we will maintain and use the data in de-identified form and not attempt to re-identify the data except as required or permitted by law.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your state of residency and subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions, you may be able to exercise some or all of the following rights:
The Right to Know |
The right to confirm whether we are processing your personal data and, under some state laws, to obtain certain personalized details about the personal data we have collected about you, including: |
The Right to Access & Portability |
The right to obtain access to the personal data we have collected about you and, where required by law, the right to obtain a copy of the personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another entity without hindrance. |
The Right to Correction |
The right to correct inaccuracies in your personal data, taking into account the nature of the personal data and the purposes of the processing of the personal data. |
The Right to Deletion |
The right to have us delete the personal data we maintain about you. |
The Right to Opt-Out of Sales or Sharing of Personal Data |
The right to direct us not to “sell” your personal data to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration, or “share” your personal data to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes and targeted advertising purposes. |
“Shine the Light” |
California residents that have an established business relationship with us have rights to know how their personal data is disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” law, or the right to opt out of such practices (Civ. Code §1798.83). |
Depending on your state of residence, you may also have the right to not receive retaliatory or discriminatory treatment in connection with a request to exercise the above rights. However, the exercise of the rights described above may result in a different price, rate, or quality level of product or service where that difference is reasonably related to the impact the right has on our relationship or is otherwise permitted by law.
Submitting Privacy Rights Requests
To submit a request to exercise one of the privacy rights identified above, please:
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to submit a request, you’ll need to log in to your account with us so we can verify your identity. If you can’t log in or don’t have an account, we may not be able to link you to any personal data of yours on our systems, but we’ll do our best. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the rights described above, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems. We will use personal data provided in connection with a Rights Request only to review and comply with the request.
To Exercise Your Right to Opt-Out of Personal Data Sales or Sharing for Targeted Advertising
Unless you have exercised your Right to Opt-Out, we may disclose your personal data to third parties who may use such information for their own purposes in accordance with their own privacy policies. Under some state laws, disclosing personal data for online advertising like this may be considered a “sale of personal data” or “sharing for targeted advertising.”
OpenSupply allows certain companies to place tracking technologies like cookies and pixels on our sites, which allow those companies to receive information about your activity on OpenSupply that is associated with your browser or device. The companies may use that data to serve you more relevant ads on our sites or others. You always have control over whether these technologies work on your devices. At any time, you can use our cookie preference tools to manage what kinds of cookies and other tracking technologies you’recomfortable with. Check out our policiesfor information about how to access these tools. You can also disable cookies altogether by adjusting the settings on your browser. However, if you choose to disable some or all cookies, many parts of our services may no longer work. For more information, see the “Third-Party Tracking and Interest-Based Advertising” section in the Privacy Notice.
You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your Right to Opt-Out. However, we may ask you to provide additional personal data so that we can properly identify you to track compliance with your opt-out request. We will only use personal data provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request. If you choose not to provide this data, we may be able to process your request only to the extent we are able to identify you in our data systems.
To exercise the Right to Opt Out of Personal Information Sales or Sharing: Navigate to our policies or email [email protected] with sufficient information to identify you and your request.
Submitting Authorized Agent Requests
In certain circumstances, you are permitted by law to use an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf through the designated methods set forth above where we can verify the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf. In order to verify the authorized agent’s authority, we generally require evidence of either: (i) a valid power of attorney; or (ii) a signed letter containing your name and contact information, the name and contact information of the authorized agent, and a statement of authorization for the request. Depending on the evidence provided and your state of residence, we may still need to separately reach out to you to confirm the authorized agent has permission to act on your behalf and to verify your identity in connection with the request.
Appealing Privacy Rights Decisions
Depending on your state of residence, you may be able to appeal a decision we have made in connection with your privacy rights request. All appeal requests should be submitted via email to [email protected]
Minors
We do not sell the personal data of consumers we know to be less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “Right to Opt In”) from either the minor who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a minor less than 13 years of age.
If you are under the age of 18 and you want to remove your name or comments from our website or publicly displayed content, please contact us directly at [email protected]. We may not be able to modify or delete your information in all circumstances.
If you wish to submit a privacy request on behalf of your minor child in accordance with applicable jurisdictional laws, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify your child is the person about whom we collected personal information and you are authorized to submit the request on your child’s behalf (i.e., you are the child’s legal guardian or authorized representative).
California-Specific Disclosures
The following disclosures only apply to residents of the State of California.
California Categories of Personal Data
California law requires we provide disclosures to you about what personal data we collect by reference to the enumerated categories of personal data set forth within California law. To address this obligation, we have identified the relevant enumerated California personal data category for the personal data, sources and purposes described in the “Our Collection and Use of Personal Data” section of our Privacy Notice below:
We collect this data from the following sources: directly from you, from our business partners and affiliates, from your browser or device when you visit our mobile app(s) or use our Services, or from third parties that you permit to share information with us. Please see “Our Collection and Use of Personal Data” section of our Privacy Notice for more information about the sources of personal data we collect. We disclose all of these categories of personal data for a business purpose to service providers or other third parties at the consumer’s direction, as outlined in the “Our Disclosure of Personal Data” section of our Privacy Notice.
Retention of Personal Data
We strive to retain your personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. However, if necessary, we may retain your personal data for longer periods of time, until set retention periods and deadlines expire, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax and/or accounting requirements set by a legislature, regulator, or other government authority.
To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal data and if we can attain our objectives by other means, as well as our legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and other applicable obligations.
Therefore, we retain personal data for as long as you use our services for the purposes explained in our Privacy Notice, including maintaining a user account. When you discontinue the use of our services, we will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and defend claims, as well as for any additional purpose based on the choices you have made, such as to receive marketing communications.
Once retention of your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or de-identify the personal data or, if this is not possible (for example, because personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from further processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.
“Shine the Light” Disclosures
The California “Shine the Light” law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To opt out of this type of sharing, please visit our policies or email us at [email protected].
