The Usage of your Information

OCI maintains a customer database that contains mailing, billing, and customer profile information, as well as a record of each customer's product purchases and registrations for business management and customer service activities. The information in these databases is used by authorized OCI staff and suppliers to process orders, charges, mail invoices, track shipments, purchases, renewal notices, announcements, and to respond to customer inquiries. Customer records are maintained for as long as three years following a transaction. Purchase and registration databases may be retained for up to three years.
