This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) contains details about how Omlie collects and uses information from you when you use the Site or when you provide it to us in communications over social media services owned and operated by third parties such as Facebook and Instagram (collectively with the Site, the “Services”).
This Policy covers only the Services identified above, and does not apply to information which you may send us by other means. Other websites, mobile applications, and other online services, including the social media platforms you use to interact with Omlie, may have their own privacy policies, and you should consult those accordingly.

Policy Changes —
Omlie reserves the right to make changes to this Policy at any time. Since this Policy may change over time as we modify or expand our Services, we suggest that you check back from time to time in order to understand how we treat your information. Our Policy’s effective date will always be set forth at the beginning and end of the Policy. Any changes will be immediately incorporated into this Policy, and will be prospective only. We will not make any changes that have retroactive effect unless legally required to do so.
Any change to this Policy is effective immediately. Your continued use of the Services after any changes are made to this Notice constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If any changes are unacceptable to you, you should cease all use of the Services.
If any changes to this Policy materially affect how Omlie treats or handles personally identifiable information that you have already provided to Omlie or that has otherwise been collected by Omlie, we will notify you by email (if Omlie has a valid email address to use) and give you thirty (30) days to opt-in to the changes as they pertain to your information. If you do not opt-in, your information will continue to be used in a manner that is consistent with the version of this Policy under which it was collected, or the information will be deleted.
Collection and Use of Information —
Personally identifiable information (“PII”) is generally defined as information that, by itself or in combination with other information, is reasonably capable of being linked to a specific individual or household. PII can include, but is not limited to, name, physical address, telephone number, email address, username and password, age/birthdate, credit/debit card number, photograph, office address and other business information, biometric data (e.g., fingerprints), state and/or federal identification numbers (e.g., driver’s license number; social security number; passport number), etc.
There are areas of the Services where you may be asked to provide Omlie with PII or other data, or where such PII or other data may be collected from you in an automated manner. For example, PII (and other related information) such as your name, email address, age, gender, internet protocol (IP) address, and/or weight or other physical attributes may be collected from you when you:
contact Omlie with questions, comments or other messages;
participate in surveys, questionnaires, or contests;
sign up to receive Omlie newsletters; and/or
otherwise provide any such information to us voluntarily through the Services including, without limitation, through any webinars or social media platforms.
Depending on the nature of the activity, such as if you publicly upload or post content with PII through the social media aspect of the Services, other users of the respective social media service may be able to view your PII.
Omlie may use your PII and other information to:
maintain proper business records and other relevant records;
respond to your questions, comments or other messages;
process and catalog your responses to surveys or questionnaires;
enter you in contests and other promotions;
send you Omlie newsletters and other updates;
contact you if there are issues with content that you uploaded or posted through the Services;
provide ongoing technical support related to the Site;
communicate with you regarding additional uses of your PII beyond the scope of this list;
deliver services through the Site;
improve the content and general administration of the Services;
perform internal operations related to the Site (e.g., fraud prevention);
troubleshoot software issues and operational problems with the Site;
conduct data analysis and testing; and/or
monitor the usage of the Services.

Omlie may share your PII with a third party if Omlie’s ownership status changes, such as if Omlie is acquired or if Omlie acquires another entity.
Other than what is referenced above, the PII and other data collected from you is not shared with nor sold to any person or entity outside of Omlie.

The right to request the deletion of PII we have collected or maintain about you;
The right to opt-out of any sale of your PII; and

If you would like to request the ability to access, review, edit, or delete any of the PII that Omlie collected about you (subject to any applicable legal exceptions), opt-out of receiving further information from Omlie, or limit what we share, or if you otherwise wish Omlie to cease using your PII in the manners specified in this Policy (subject to any applicable legal exceptions), please contact us at info@omlie.com.
Any removal of content by Omlie does not ensure or guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of the content in all places. The content may have been shared or reposted by other parties, or federal or state law may require maintenance of the content or information. Omlie will do its best to accommodate your request, but we cannot guarantee we can remove all PII from the specified uses. Therefore, please be as specific as possible in your request. If the request relates to information that Omlie needs to make the Site function properly for you, you may not be able to use the Site properly moving forward.
Omlie reserves the right to maintain proper business records as required by law, or for otherwise legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law, even if such records contain your PII.

If a person under 21 years of age uploads/posts information through the Services without authorization, and such information becomes publicly available, please contact us immediately at info@omlie.com. If Omlie learns we have collected or received PII from any person under 21 years of age, Omlie will delete such information immediately. Again, any removal of content by Omlie does not ensure or guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of the content in all places. The content may have been shared or reposted by other parties, or federal or state law may require maintenance of the content or information.

Data Security and Retention —
Omlie implements, uses and maintains industry standard technological security measures that are reasonably designed to help secure your non-public PII from loss, unauthorized access or disclosure, both in storage and in transmission.
