1. Overview
OmVanta operates the online store and website located at https://omvanta.us, including the information, content, features, products, and services offered through the website collectively referred to as the “Services.”
The Services are powered by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform that enables us to operate our online store.

If this Privacy Policy conflicts with our Terms of Service regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, this Privacy Policy will control for those matters.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have been provided with this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for particular processing, we will request that consent separately.

13. Relationship With Shopify
The Services are powered by Shopify. Information submitted through the Services is transmitted to and processed by Shopify so that Shopify can provide, secure, maintain, and improve its platform.
Shopify may process information in countries other than your country of residence.
Shopify may also process certain information as an independent controller or business for its own legally disclosed purposes, including platform security, fraud prevention, analytics, and enhanced platform features.
Shopify’s processing is governed by its own applicable privacy terms.
You can review Shopify’s privacy information and available controls at:
https://privacy.shopify.com/en
Where Shopify processes information solely on our behalf, you should generally direct your request to OmVanta. Where Shopify independently determines the purposes and means of processing, you may also need to submit a request directly to Shopify.
14. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Services may contain links to websites, platforms, social media services, or other resources operated by third parties.
We do not control the privacy or security practices of independent third parties.
Before providing information to a third-party service, review its:
- Privacy policy
- Cookie policy
- Security practices
- Terms of service
The inclusion of a link does not by itself mean that OmVanta endorses the third party or accepts responsibility for its independent privacy practices.
15. International Data Transfers
OmVanta operates with a business correspondence address in Hong Kong and uses service providers that may process information in multiple countries.
Your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside your country of residence, including countries whose privacy laws may differ from those in your location.
Where required, we use recognized transfer mechanisms or safeguards, which may include:
- Contractual data-protection clauses
- Standard Contractual Clauses
- United Kingdom international data transfer mechanisms

- Fulfill orders
- Maintain accounts
- Provide customer service

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to technical and legal limitations.

If you believe your account or personal information has been compromised, contact us promptly.
18. Data Breaches
If we identify a personal-data security incident, we will investigate and take reasonable steps to contain and address it.
Where required by applicable law, we will notify affected individuals, regulators, or other appropriate parties.
Notification timing and content will depend on applicable legal requirements, the nature of the incident, and the available information.
19. Children’s Privacy
The Services are not directed to children who are unable to consent to the collection of personal information under applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children for the purpose of allowing them to make independent purchases.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information without appropriate permission, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
