This policy explains what information
we collect, how we use that information, and to whom
we share that information. In order to assist you with
reading through our privacy policy, we have provided
answers to questions that you may find most important:
What information does Otium collect?
When you sign-up, login, order
products, or post items, our registration process asks
you to provide us with a limited amount of personal information.
This information is necessary for the retailer to process
your order and for you to use our websites. Categories
of personally identifiable information include: name, address,
phone number, e-mail address, date of birth. Otium does
not store or maintain billing/shipping information (credit
card number, shipping address). This information is maintained
by the merchant bank and the independent retailer with
whom you may do business. Additionally, our web server
automatically collects click-stream information such as
the address (or "URL") of the web site that you
came from before visiting our site, which pages you visit
on our site, which browser you used to view our site and
any search terms you have entered on our site.
How is the information used?
You may choose to supply personalized
information that will enable you to receive individualized
customer service that we cannot offer anonymous users.
That customer service may include notices about updates
to our web site, e-mail reminders, communicating with Otium
Retailers, Manufacturers, or Providers and other Otium
Partners. We also use the information that you provide
in order to respond to your requests, assist our Retailer
in the customization of your online shopping experience,
administer contests or promotions, offer new products and
services, and measure and improve the effectiveness of
our web sites or our marketing endeavors.
Does Otium share the information I've
provided?
We will not intentionally release
your particular personal information other than to you,
Otium, our subsidiaries, our Retailer, Wholesale, Manufacturing,
or Provider partners, our agents (such as contracted fulfillment
parties, if any), and your authorized representative(s).
Retailers using the Otium site are contractually committed
to maintaining the security of personal data that you may
provide to them.
• Agents: We may employ other companies and individuals
to perform functions on our behalf. These functions may
include fulfilling orders, developing products, delivering
packages, hosting sites from this website or any other
Otium website, product reviews, developing pictures or
photo products, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing
repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data,
or processing credit card payments. They have access to
personal information needed to perform their functions,
but may not use it for other purposes.
• Promotional Offers: We may send offers to selected
groups of customers on behalf of other businesses. When
we do this, we do not give that business your name and
address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please
notify us.
• Disclosures: As required by law we will disclose information
which may relate to you.
• Invitees: You may invite other parties to view your
content and Otium will share that information which may
be necessary for your invitees to view said content.
• Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business,
we might sell or buy information and/or other assets. In
such transactions, customer information generally is one
of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event
that Otium is acquired, customer information will of course
be one of the transferred assets and is permissible under
law.
• Protection of Otium and Others: We release account
and other personal information when we believe release
is appropriate to comply with laws; enforce or apply our
Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of this website or any Otium website,
our users, or others. This includes exchanging information
with others for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Do I have choices
regarding how my information is used?
• You can always choose not to provide information, even
though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take
advantage of other web site features.
• If you do not want to receive e-mail from us or to add or update certain personal
information, please contact us at unsubscribe@TheOtiumGroup.com
