OMG Privacy Policy
At OMG, we recognize that privacy is an
important issue, so we design and operate our services with the protection of
your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal
information we gather when you use OMG's services, as well as some of the steps
we take to safeguard it.
The following principles apply to the
personally identifying information we ask for and that you provide. "Personally
identifying information" is information that individually identifies you, such
as your name, physical address or email address.
Data collection
Some of our services require you to register
for an account. OMG asks you for some personal information in order to create an
account (typically your name and email address) and we will use that information
to provide the service. For certain services, such as search service, we may
request credit card or other payment information which we maintain in encrypted
form on secure servers.
When we require personally identifying
information, we will inform you about the types of information we collect and
how we use it. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about
sharing your personal information with us.
Information sharing
We do not rent or sell your personally
identifying information to other companies or individuals, unless we have your
consent. We may share such information in any of the following limited
circumstances:
We have your consent.
We provide such information to trusted
businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing personally identifying
information on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that
oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in
compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security
measures.
We conclude that we are required by law or
have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such
information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of
OMG, its users or the public.
If you have an account, we may share the
information submitted under your account among all of our services in order to
provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our
services. We will not disclose your account information to other people or
non-affiliated companies, except in the limited circumstances described in this
Policy or with your consent.
We may store and process personal
information collected on our site in the United States or any other country in
which OMG or its agents maintain facilities. By using our services, you consent
to the transfer of your information among these facilities, including those
located outside your country.
In the event of a transfer of ownership of
OMG, such as acquisition by or merger with another company, we will provide
notice before any personally identifying information is transferred and becomes
subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share aggregated information with
others.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to
protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or
destruction of data.
We restrict access to your personally
identifying information to employees who need to know that information in order
to operate, develop or improve our services.
Updating your information
We provide mechanisms for updating and
correcting your personally identifying information for many of our services. For
more information, please see the help pages for each service.
Links
The sites displayed as search results or
linked to by OMG's services are developed by people over whom OMG exercises no
control. These other sites may place their own cookies on your computer, collect
data or solicit personal information.
OMG may present links in a format that
enables us to understand whether they have been followed. We use this
information to understand and improve the quality of OMG's search technology.
For instance, this data helps us determine how often users are satisfied with
the first result of a query and how often they proceed to later results.
Changes to this Policy
Please note this Privacy Policy will change
from time to time. We expect most such changes to be minor, but there may be
changes that are more significant. Regardless, we will post those changes on
this page and, if the changes are significant, we will also provide a more
prominent notice.
