This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with our website www.oakcover.com and related services. By using our site, you consent to the practices described in this policy.
- Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Information You Provide Directly
When you subscribe to our newsletter, create an account, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. If you make a purchase or subscribe to paid content, we collect billing and payment details, which are processed securely through third-party providers. When you submit comments, reviews, or user-generated content, we collect any personal information included in your submission.
- Information Collected Automatically
We use cookies and tracking technologies to collect IP addresses, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior on our site. Analytical tools help us understand how visitors interact with our content, including time spent on pages and click activity. Location data may be collected to personalize content, if enabled on your device.
- Third-Party Information
We may receive data from advertisers, partners, or social media platforms if you engage with our content through those channels.
- How We Use Your Information
We use your data to provide, improve, and personalize your experience on OakCover, send newsletters, promotional offers, and content updates with your consent, process transactions, manage subscriptions, and fulfill purchases, monitor website analytics and optimize user experience, and ensure compliance with legal and security obligations. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
- Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance your experience. These help us recognize returning visitors and remember preferences, deliver personalized content and advertisements, and measure site traffic and engagement metrics. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may affect functionality.
- Third-Party Sharing & Advertisers
OakCover partners with advertisers and service providers who may collect non-personal data through cookies and tracking technologies. We only share personal data when necessary for payment processing via secure third-party providers, email marketing and subscriptions only with your opt-in, and legal compliance or security measures as required by law. Third-party advertising networks may use interest-based ads, but you can opt out through industry-standard tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance.
- Data Security & Protection
We take reasonable measures to safeguard your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including secure servers and encrypted connections, limited access to personal data within our team, and third-party security audits to prevent breaches. While we strive to protect your information, no system is 100 percent secure, so we encourage users to take precautions when sharing data online.

You have control over your personal data. You may access or update your information by logging into your account, unsubscribe from marketing emails via the unsubscribe link, request data deletion by contacting us at privacy@oakcover.com, and opt out of cookie tracking through your browser settings.
