APPLICABLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS LAW

Calls using the caption services on your CapTel device are telecommunications relay service calls and are subject to certain telecommunications law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy, your privacy rights and our obligations with regard to any information related to CapTel telecommunications relay service calls made through a TRS Provider will be governed by applicable law, including relevant sections of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and any applicable implementation rules and orders.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Our Sites may include links to other third party websites as a convenience to you. If you click on one of those links you will be taken to websites we do not control, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to those third party websites. The inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement of any other company, its site(s), or its product(s) and/or service(s). OEI is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any other site

SOCIAL MEDIA AND PLUG-INS.

Our online services may use social media plug-ins (e.g., the Facebook "Like" button, "Share to Twitter" button) to enable you to easily interact with certain social media websites (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and share information with others. When you visit our online services, the operators of the available social media plugins can place a cookie on your device enabling such operators to recognize individuals who have previously visited our online services. If you are logged into these social media websites while visiting our online services, the social media plugins allow the relevant social media websites to receive information that you have visited our online services or other information. The social media plugins also allow the applicable social media websites to share information about your activities on our online services with other users of the social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins allow Facebook to show your "Likes" and comments on our online services to your Facebook friends. Facebook Social Plugins also allow you to see your friends' Facebook activity on our online services. We do not control any of the content from the social media plugins. We may also interact with you on social media platforms. If you contact us on one of our social media platforms, request services, or otherwise communicate directly with us on social media, we may contact you to interact with you. For more information about social media advertising and social media plugins from other social media websites, please refer to those websites' privacy and data sharing statements.

LOCATION-BASED SERVICES

We collect information about your estimated location which may be deduced by various technologies including IP address. While we do not currently collect precise geolocation, but if we enable that, we will obtain your consent or acknowledgement before doing so.
