This policy applies both to potential fees related to the Activation Period or the Membership Period in the course at the time of the termination.
8. VERIFICATION PROCESS
Usually Members are verified through a Trusted Partner. However, sometimes verification is conducted manually. Therefore, if applicable, as per the Special Conditions, the Member must successfully complete the Verification Process (“Verification Process”) confirming that the MEC for the relevant Tier are met. As long as the Verification Process has not been duly completed, the Member will have access to the Limited Access Service (“Limited Access Service”).
For this purpose, Opportunity Network will carry out a standard internal verification and will notify the User once the Verification Process has been completed. If Opportunity Network is unable to validate the Member through its standard verification, the User will be prompted to request its main bank or equivalent to fill out and duly sign a verification form, which may be downloaded from the Opportunity Network website during the registration process or will be provided to the User by an Account Manager of Opportunity Network.
As a consequence of the Verification Process, Opportunity Network will grant or deny full access to the Platform to the Member based on Opportunity Network’s absolute discretion. The Validation Process shall be completed within 7 (seven) calendar days from the registration of the Member on the Platform (“Grace Period”).
Opportunity Network may, at its sole discretion, suspend your Membership if the Member or the Used ceased to comply with the Minimum Access Criteria. If either a Member or a User ceased to comply with such criteria, the User is to inform Opportunity Network immediately sending an email to on@opportunitynetwork.com.

With Trusted Partners. When the Member’s memberships have been created via invitation received from a Trusted Partner, the Trusted Partner receives information concerning its Members, such as when Members join Opportunity Network, share opportunities, and create connections. The Trusted Partner may process the information of its invited Members of the Opportunity Network to single out and report opportunities such Members may be interested in or offer services that may help such Members achieve an Opportunity.

For external processing. We do not share information with companies, organizations, and individuals outside of Opportunity Network without the consent of the Users and the related Members. Nonetheless, please note that information regarding the User and the represented Member may be communicated to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for Us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Before transferring any information considered personal to EEA members/same level of protection states, Opportunity Network will obtain the express consent of the User representing a Potential Member or a Member of the Opportunity Network and will take steps to ensure that such Personal Information will be afforded the same level of protection as under applicable data protection laws within the Opportunity Network group.
Anonymized Data. We may also share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly, and with our partners. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our Services.
How can You exercise Your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction on processing, objection and portability?
Contact Us. To that effect the User may send an email to on@opportunitynetwork.com, enclosing a copy of its ID or equivalent official document certifying its identity. We may reject unreasonably repetitive requests, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), or risk the privacy of others.
Data Protection Authorities.

Potential Security Breaches. Whilst Opportunity Network has done all of this to comply with the standards required by applicable laws, Opportunity Network cannot guarantee that such information will not be subject to unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, Opportunity Network has physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in place to protect information. Information is stored on Opportunity Network’s servers and protected by secured networks to which access is limited to a few Opportunity Network’s authorized employees and personnel. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. If Opportunity Network learns of a security systems breach, then we may attempt to notify the User electronically so that he/she will be able to take appropriate protective steps. We may also have the obligation to contact the relevant Data Protection Authority according to the current legislation in force. Furthermore, Opportunity Network may also post a notice on the Service platform whether a security breach occurs.

What are Cookies?
Generally speaking, cookies proprietary of one webpage may be sent to a user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain managed by such a webpage and from which the requested service is provided. On the other hand, there may be third-party cookies sent to a user’s terminal equipment from a computer or domain that is not managed by the said webpage, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through cookies. A website may also use session cookies (i.e. cookies collecting and storing data while a user accesses a website). Lastly, there are the so-called persistent cookies. Persistent cookies are stored in a user’s terminal so that the collected data can be accessed and processed during a period defined by the entity responsible for the cookie, which could range all the way from a few minutes to several years. For the avoidance of doubt, users do not provide this information directly. Rather than that, these data are automatically collected as a means of supporting a user’s visit to a website.
What Cookies do we use on our Website?
- Technical cookies (i.e. own csfr token session Cookies). These Cookies enable the User to browse through the Website using the different features and services, for example, session cookies which allow to identify the User session or to carry out the authentication for access to restricted areas.
