OAuth Application Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how OAuth (Open Authorization) applications integrated with The Oil Press HumHub platform collect, use, and share information obtained from users of our platform when they authorize an OAuth application to access their account data.

By authorizing an OAuth application on The Oil Press HumHub platform, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy regarding the data accessed and processed by that specific application. Please note that this policy applies only to the data accessed by the OAuth application itself via the OAuth connection, and is separate from the overall Privacy Policy governing the use of The Oil Press HumHub platform itself, which can be found at https://theoilpress.co.za/privacy_policy.

2. What Data Is Collected by OAuth Applications

When you authorize an OAuth application on The Oil Press HumHub platform, you grant it permission to access specific information from your user account. The exact data collected depends on the permissions requested by the specific application and approved by you during the authorization process.

Typically, OAuth applications on our platform may request access to:

• Your User ID
• Your Username
• Your Display Name
• Your Profile Picture (Avatar)
• Your Email Address (if required for the application's function and authorized by you)
• Information about your membership in Spaces or Groups (depending on the application's purpose)
• Other basic profile information available within the scope you grant.

The application will only access the data for which you explicitly grant permission. We do not grant applications access to your password or other sensitive login credentials via the OAuth process.

3. How Your Data Is Used

The data collected by an OAuth application via The Oil Press HumHub platform is used solely for the purpose of providing the functionality and services offered by that specific application. This may include:

• Identifying you as a user within the application.
• Personalizing your experience within the application.
• Integrating the application's features and content with your HumHub profile or activities.
• Allowing the application to perform actions on your behalf within the scope you've authorized (e.g., posting content, accessing specific resources, if granted).
• Operating, maintaining, and improving the application.

The data will not be used for purposes unrelated to the authorized function of the application.

4. Data Storage and Security

The OAuth application is responsible for storing and protecting the data it collects from your HumHub account securely. The Oil Press expects all developers integrating applications via OAuth to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your personal data.

However, please be aware that The Oil Press is not responsible for the privacy practices or security measures of third-party applications. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any OAuth application before authorizing it.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

The Oil Press does not share the data collected by an OAuth application from your account with other third parties, unless the specific OAuth application's privacy policy indicates such sharing is necessary for its functionality and you have agreed to that policy, or under the following limited circumstances:

• With Your Consent: If you explicitly authorize the sharing of specific data.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
• To Protect Rights and Safety: If we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Oil Press, our users, or others.
• Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized data that does not directly identify you, for research or analytical purposes.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

6. Your Rights

Regarding the data accessed by an OAuth application from your HumHub account, you have certain rights:

• Access: You have the right to request access to the personal data the application has collected about you (this request should typically be directed to the application provider).
• Correction: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data held by the application, subject to legal obligations or legitimate operational needs.
• Withdraw Consent/Revoke Access: You can withdraw your consent and revoke the OAuth application's access to your HumHub account data at any time through your HumHub User Account Settings (https://theoilpress.co.za/user/account/connected-accounts ). Revoking access will stop the application from collecting new data but may not automatically delete data it has already collected. You may need to contact the application provider directly to request deletion of existing data.

To exercise these rights regarding the data held by the OAuth application, you may need to contact the application provider directly, as The Oil Press only facilitates the connection.

7. Data Retention

The OAuth application is responsible for its data retention policies. Data collected via the OAuth connection should be retained only for as long as necessary to provide the application's services or as required by law. If you revoke an application's access, the application provider should delete your data in accordance with their own privacy policy and applicable laws, though retention periods may vary.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

The Oil Press may update this OAuth application privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page with a revised "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of OAuth applications on the platform after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
