Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we aim to provide you — the “data subject” — with an overview of how your personal data is processed by us and of your rights under data protection laws. In general, our website can be used without entering personal data. However, if you wish to use specific services provided by our company via the website, the processing of personal data may be required. If such processing is necessary and no legal basis exists, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to OMS Retail GmbH. This privacy policy informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process.

We, as the data controller, have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to submit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone or post.

You can also take simple and easy-to-implement precautions to protect your data from unauthorized access. Here are a few tips:

Protect your account (login, user, or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile device) with strong passwords.
Only you should have access to your passwords.
Use different passwords for different accounts.
Avoid using the same password across different websites, apps, or online services.
Especially when using shared or public IT systems, always log out after your session.

Passwords should be at least 12 characters long and include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters — avoid common words or names.
