Collection of Personal Information
We collect PII in order to establish your account, to handle billing and to understand your specific needs to serve you better. PII is information about you that is personally identifiable, such as your name, address, email address, credit card number or phone number. OMO may use cookies and other technologies to enhance your online experience and to learn about how you use our website and services.

In addition, the use of a cookie on our Site will enable users to log on without having to reenter their password on each visit and to fully interact with our Website. While most browsers accept cookies by default, you can manually set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept cookies from specific websites, or highlight when a cookie is sent to your browser. OMO’s servers may also automatically record information when you visit our website, including the URL that directed you to our website, your IP address, browser type and the date and time of your visit. We collect PII when you register on our website, fill out any forms, subscribe to our newsletter, and place an order. The PII we collect may include your first and last name, email address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, credit card number, and items purchased from us.
We use this PII in order to provide you with the content, subscriptions, goods and services that you request or purchase through our Website. We use your email address to provide you with information about your order and its status and we may occasionally send out emails, including newsletters, to people who have placed an order on-line, with information about other goods and services available on our Website. Your phone number may be used by us in the event that our customer service representatives need to contact you about an order you have placed or to contact you regarding customer offers or information you have requested or we need to provide to you.
How We Use Your Information
The information OMO collects is used to comprehensively understand your needs and interests, and permits OMO to deliver a more consistent and personalized experience. For example, OMO may use your information to assist you in completing a transaction or order, communicate with you about products and services, provide service and support, update you on new services and benefits, provide personalized promotional offers, select content to be communicated to you; and contact you for market research regarding our products or services.
Your information may be aggregated with other clients’ information on a purely non-identifiable basis to understand how our products are used to help make them better.
Credit card information is used solely for payment processing and fraud prevention efforts. Credit card information, and other sensitive personal information required to process a credit decision, is not used for any other purposes by us or our financial service providers, and will not be retained any longer than necessary to provide your services, unless you request that we retain your credit card information to streamline your future purchases.
Policy on sharing your information
OMO will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. OMO shares PII with companies working on our behalf and related business entities which we maintain an ownership interest in for the purposes detailed above. In any such cases, however, we require that the companies or entities adhere to privacy standards and policies at least as restrictive as those OMO has in place.
We may disclose and release your personal information to third parties: (a) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; or (b) in special cases, such as a physical threat to you or others, a threat to homeland security, to our Website or employees, or to protect our Website, system or network, our employees, agents, suppliers, licensors, content providers, and the rights and property of OMO, or cases in which we believe it is reasonably necessary to investigate or prevent harm, fraud, abuse, illegal conduct or a violation or alleged violation of this policy or other agreement we may have with you.
Circumstances may arise, whether for strategic or other business reasons, in which OMO decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in various countries. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of PII to prospective or actual purchasers, or, conversely, the receipt of such PII from sellers. It is OMO’s established practice to seek appropriate protection for all personal information in advance of any such transaction.
