What data we collect and when we collect it

When you visit Omnium’s websites and if you agree to the use of such cookies, we track and gather certain information on this website that helps us to better understand our visitor’s needs related to our website and our services.

If you sign-up for e-mail marketing, e.g., for our newsletters, events or webinars, or use the form to “book a demo” or fill out other contact forms, we will use the personal data you provide (normally e-mail address, but in some cases also telephone number, company, title, etc), to send personalized offers, marketing, product news etc. The legal base for this is consent. You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe from such marketing by using the unsubscribe link in the e-mail or by contacting us via the contact details below. We analyse your behaviour in connection with the newsletter through the use of so-called tracking pixels or web beacons, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. For analysis purpose we link your personal data and the web beacons to your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also include this ID. The data generated is used to create a user profile in order to personalise the newsletter to your personal interest based on when you read our newsletters and which links you click in them. This processing is based on our legitimate interests (Art 6 (1) f GDPR) to provide you with more relevant offers and a better usage experience.

Scoring, profiling and making telephone calls. Our website uses a system to identify which visitors that may be of specific interest. With the assistance of a cookie, each visitor collects points by making its way between the pages. The scoring is based on which pages you visit, for how long you stay there, your interaction with the webpage etc. This cookie will not enable us to identify you. However, if you allow direct marketing, we will send customized marketing send-outs to you based on your behaviour on the website. When you exceed a given threshold of points, we may call you to discuss if you are interested in Omnium’s offerings. The scoring system starts functioning once you visit Omnium’s website, however anonymously. You may prevent this by changing your cookie settings or not allow us to conduct direct marketing. The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests to promote our services and maintain business relations. The cookies used for the scoring system are stored in accordance with our cookie information below. You may opt-out from our direct marketing at any time and refuse the use of cookies.

Direct marketing to existing customers. We process personal data for the purpose of targeted e-mail marketing to existing customers. The personal data processed for such purpose may include e-mail address, information about visits including the URL, search terms, information about what you viewed or searched on our website and activities of users. The legal base for processing of this personal data is our legitimate interest (Art 6 (1) f GDPR). You have the right to object to such processing and in every e-mail we provide you with you have the opportunity to unsubscribe from marketing communication from us.

Marketing Funnel. We use Hubspot for the purpose of analyzing “customer journeys”. For this purpose we process your e-mail address, job title, which visits you have done on site (if you have agreed to cookies), clicks on ads, opening of e-mails, which event and webinars you have attended, which marketing offers we have contacted you about, which e-mails we have sent to you and when we have called you. We use this information to analyze which features you could be interested in and provide you with information on such. The profiling is solely based on your professional capacity and we do not process any information related to the private sphere. Our basis for this processing is our legitimate interest of providing you with relevant marketing material and a balance of interest where we have assessed that our interest of providing you with relevant marketing material is greater than the inconvenience this may cause you. We have then specifically assessed that the profiling is solely based on data related to your professional sphere.

The information about your use of the website (including your IP-address) generated by the cookies will be transmitted to and stored by Cookiebot on servers within the EU.

Cookies collected by these advertisement systems will be used by third parties for advertisement purposes. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting on your browser.

 

For how long do we process the data?

Information retained in our marketing system for the purpose of sending marketing information to you will be retained for as long as you are an active customer which communicates with us, participates in events etc. If you however object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes, we will promptly and permanently delete your personal data.

Who we share your personal data with

In order to provide the services to you we need to allow our suppliers access to your personal data when they perform services on our behalf as data processors, mainly to provide support and maintenance of IT systems, storage services and marketing. We use Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited for hosting of personal data and the third party providers stated in this policy and specifically the cookie declaration for other services.

The transfers may entail transfer of your personal data outside the EU/EEA. Any transfer of data outside the EU/EEA is made in line with data protection laws. Our international transfers of personal data (including transfers to group companies and suppliers outside the EU/EEA) are normally based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses unless the company resides in a country considered by the EU Commission to ensure an adequate level of protection.
