Omega Design and the technologies used (cookies, web signalling)

We collect information about visitors to our website in order to further improve our services and our online offerings. This enables Omega Design to better meet the requirements of its clients. This activity is carried out in a completely anonymous manner to prevent any identification of individuals.

We also use so-called cookies to collect this anonymous information. Cookies are data files stored by the web browser. Cookies help us to offer you tailored offers. You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser. If you do so, you may not be able to use all of the features of this website. Omega Design accepts no responsibility for such conduct.

Google Analytics (the web analytics service of Google Inc. (“Google”), an independent website visitor data measurement and analysis company), uses cookies and programs that are part of websites to collect non-personal information on our behalf regarding visitors to our websites. Cookies and embedded programs only provide us with non-personal statistical information about visits to our websites, the duration of time each page is viewed, the paths taken by users through the websites, information about visitors’ screen settings and other general data. Omega Design uses this type of information, which is mainly statistical in nature, to improve the service provided to customers.

The information about your use of the website (including your IP address) generated by Google using cookies will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this anonymised information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with other data stored by Google. You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser. If you do so, you may not be able to use all of the features of this website. Omega Design shall not be liable for any such conduct.

Omega Design and the use and acquisition of information related to social networking environments

Omega Design uses social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ to use and obtain information. Websites and blogs operated directly by Omega Design are subject to data protection regulations.

These plug-ins of other platforms can be identified by the logo and the corresponding text styling of the platform. If you use one of these plug-ins to select one of our sites, it can create a direct link between the browser you are using and the relevant social network sites.

Because this transmission is always between the browser and the network, Omega Design has no access to or information about the data being sent. This is usually the case when you select the relevant website and are interested in a service or transfer of information about Omega Design.

If you were logged in to one of these platforms at the same time, or if you later log in to a social network, the plug-ins will be able to automatically associate information with your account. Therefore, this information will be assigned to an individual. The same process applies to using plug-ins (such as the Like button) or adding comments.

For example, if you click to activate a consent button (such as the Like button on Facebook®) or add comments, the following data may generally be transferred, depending on the social network operator:

  • IP address
  • Browser and operating system information
  • Screen resolution
  • Installed browser plug-ins, such as Adobe Flash Player
  • Previously visited address, if you went to the current page via a link (referring server)
  • URL of the current page

Omega Design does not have control over this data on the relevant social networks. If you directly use any of the above social networks and make content available to participants on those networks or platforms, then content that includes, for example, images, information, contact information, your personal opinion, and other types of personal information is not subject to this Omega Design Statement. All such content is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective operators.

All content you post in social media environments is publicly available within Omega Design and outside of Omega Design.

For information gathering (data mining and profiling), Omega Design will periodically analyze the social networking environment to obtain information for marketing purposes based on existing contacts for data enhancement and new contacts for data mining. This is done automatically. In this way, Omega Design may obtain personal data or information from publicly available sources for which there is a history of consent or for which you have not given direct consent to collect and store data.

Omega Design takes data protection and personal rights seriously, and in such cases will inform you of the origin and category of data collected and ask for your consent to the collection, storage and processing before using such data or information. You may withdraw the consent you have given to Omega Design at any time without giving any reason.

Omega Design and data protection technology

New technologies offer users more control over their personal data. Omega Design makes every effort to provide appropriate protection wherever the nature of the data held requires it.

Omega Design and Security

Omega Design implements technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from accidental and unlawful alteration, deletion, loss, and unauthorized access or disclosure.

Omega Design and Licensing and Trademark and Copyright Rights

Omega Design respects its own licensing and trademark rights and the copyrights, registered trademarks, patents and proprietary rights of its customers, suppliers, partners and any unknown third parties.

Omega Design reserves the right to use personal information to assert and enforce the aforementioned rights in the event of infringement or for mere reason to believe that infringement has occurred, which would in turn confirm that there has been an actual infringement of the rights or property of Omega Design or its customers, suppliers, partners and any unknown third parties.

Omega Design also reserves the right to disclose personal information in such cases if required to do so as part of a formal request for information, to initiate legal proceedings, and to comply with legal process or a judgment or lawsuit
