Optimas OE Solutions and its affiliated entities (Optimas), have long recognized that individuals, and as the case may arise, legal entities, with whom we conduct business value their personal data.

In particular, Optimas will transfer all or part of such records to its group’s headquarters located in the United States. In any case, Optimas will use its best efforts to ensure that data transferred outside your jurisdiction and/or the European Economic Area will remain subject to the same security and confidentiality regime as the one they would have been subject to if located within your jurisdiction and/or the European Economic Area.

Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us by visiting the following Internet Web page link:
