Personal Data
When visiting our website, we may request the submission of certain mandatory personal data.
Personal data is specific information about personal characteristics or factual information relating to an individual who can be identified from such data. This includes, among other information, name, address, telephone number, and date of birth.
Information that does not allow your identification or cannot be directly linked to your identity is not considered personal data.
How and why we use your personal data
We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and applicable Portuguese law, including Law No. 58/2019. Processing is carried out based on one or more of the following grounds, as applicable: performance of a contract and pre-contractual steps, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests, and/or consent (where required):
- contacting the user via publications, direct marketing materials, and event invitations that may be of interest to them (you may cancel your subscription to such communications at any time by emailing orders@ottwear.com with “Cancel Subscription” in the email subject). All our communications also include a “Cancel” link;
- fraud verification and prevention;
- tracking your activity on our websites/digital platforms;
- personalizing and improving your experience on the websites/digital platforms;
- when required by law or to meet a regulator’s requirements.
When you interact with our digital platforms, we also automatically collect all the data listed below about your visit. This collection is mainly carried out to help us better understand how our customers use our digital platforms, allowing us to create better content and more relevant communications:
- How you accessed our digital platform and the Internet Protocol (IP) address used;
- Browser type, versions and plug-ins, and operating system;
- The path taken through our digital platform, including which links were accessed and all searches made, how long you stayed on a page, and other page interaction information;
- Which videos you watched and for how long;
- Which content received “likes” and which was shared;
- Which advertisements you saw and responded to;
- Which push-up messages you may have seen and responded to;
- Subscription status;
- Data collected from any form you completed;
- From the IP address used to access our digital platforms, we can infer your country of location and we can analyze which activity led to the execution of specific operations on our digital platforms (for example, downloading an application).
Disclosure of your personal data
In order to promote our products and services or to fulfill contracts, we may need to appoint another organization to process your personal data on our behalf. These operations may include, for example, payment processing organizations, delivery organizations, fraud prevention and tracking companies, credit risk management companies, or postal collection and distribution companies.
We may also share your data with third parties:
- if there is a legal or regulatory duty to do so;
- if it is necessary to do so to enforce our Terms and Conditions or other contractual rights;
- to legally assist police or security services in preventing and detecting crime or terrorist activity.
We may share your personal data with our partners, who have been carefully selected and may occasionally change. However, we only share data if you have consented to receive marketing related to our partners, or if one of the conditions in the paragraph above applies.
Some of the organizations to which we may disclose your personal information are located outside Portugal and the European Union, in countries that may not have laws protecting privacy rights as broadly as in Portugal. If we transfer your personal data to other territories, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that it is protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
In the event of disclosure of your data to third parties, we ensure that your information is adequately protected.
