What is the purpose of collecting and using your personal data?
Our sole purpose is to ensure we offer you the best possible experience, both during your visit to our website and during the fast and efficient delivery of your order. We also use your personal data to contact you and inform you about the latest offers, special offers, and other products or services we believe may be of interest to you. In these cases, we will only do so with your consent if you subscribe to our newsletter.

- First of all, we use your personal data to complete and manage your online order, which is very important to what we do as a company! This includes sending you messages about your order, such as confirmations, changes, and reminders.
- We provide excellent customer service. Having access to your relevant details, such as order information or user account information, allows us to be better prepared when you need to contact us.
- Oitoum.co.uk users can create a user account on our websites. We use the information you provide to manage your account, allowing you to perform several useful actions. You can manage your personal settings, place an order faster, check the status of your order, and request to change or delete all of this information from our database.

You can unsubscribe from these marketing emails quickly and easily at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link included in every newsletter or communication.
- The data you provide us is used to communicate with you. We may contact you by email, mail, phone, or text message. We also process the communications you send us.
- When you place an order, we may send you a survey or invitation to provide feedback about your experience.
- We sometimes invite our clients to participate in market research. Each survey requires specific information, which you will be informed about so you understand what personal data is collected and how it is used.
- We also use your personal data for analytical purposes. This process is part of our commitment to improving the customer experience, but it may also be used to test features, troubleshoot problems, and improve the quality and functionality of our services. The main goal is to optimize and customize our online platform according to your needs, creating a pleasant and easy-to-use website.
- Finally, in certain cases, we may need to use your information to handle and resolve legal disputes, for regulatory and compliance investigations, to enforce the terms of use of the service provided on the Oitoum.pt website within what is reasonably expected, or to comply with lawful requests from authorities.
Providing your personal data is voluntary. However, depending on the type of service you wish to use, we may only be able to provide that service if certain personal data is collected. For example, we cannot process your order if we do not collect your name and contact details.
To process your personal data as described above, we use the following legal bases:
Oitoum.pt relies on the legal basis that the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, specifically to complete and manage your order. If the necessary personal data is not provided, we will not be able to provide customer service. We also rely on our legitimate business interest in providing these services, preventing fraud, and improving our services. When you use personal data for purposes of the legitimate interests of Oitoum.pt or third parties, we will always consider your rights and interests in protecting your personal data in relation to the rights and interests of Oitoum.pt or third parties. When required under applicable law, Oitoum.pt will obtain your consent prior to processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
If you wish to object to the processing carried out under the above points and if a self-exclusion mechanism is not directly available (e.g. in your account settings), to the extent applicable, please contact support @oitoum.pt .
How is your data shared with third parties?
To provide an online sales service, we need to interact with several third parties. These include financial institutions, advertising agencies, government authorities, and others. We don't sell or rent your personal data. We only share it with entities that comply with the GDPR, like us.
In certain circumstances, we will share your data with third parties.
- The delivery service provider: This point is crucial to what we do! To complete your order, we communicate the relevant information to the logistics service that will deliver your order. Depending on the order and the service provider, this information may include your name, contact information, payment details, or other information you specified when placing your order.
- Third-party service providers: We use service providers that are not part of the Oitoum.co.uk group of companies to help us provide our services. These providers support services such as
- Market research;
- Fraud detection and prevention services, including a fraud analysis service;
- Payment services. We use third-party entities to process payments, refunds, or collection services. Whenever a refund is requested by you or the holder of the credit card used to place the order, we will need to share certain information about your order with the payment service provider and the relevant financial institution so that the refund can be processed. This may include a copy of your booking confirmation or the IP address used to make the booking. We may share information with the relevant financial institutions if we believe it is strictly necessary for fraud detection and prevention purposes.
- Marketing Services: We share personal information with advertising partners, including your email address, as part of Oitoum.co.uk's marketing services through third parties (which ensure relevant advertising is shown to the right people). We strive to share emails in encrypted form so that they are matched to an existing database, thus preventing them from being used for other purposes. For more information about personalized advertising and your choices, please read the Cookie Statement.
All service providers must maintain adequate safeguards for your personal information.
- Competent authorities: We disclose personal information to law enforcement officials in accordance with applicable law or if strictly necessary for the prevention, detection, or prosecution of criminal acts and fraud, or if we are otherwise legally required to do so. We may need to disclose additional personal data to competent authorities in order to protect and defend our rights or property, or the rights and property of our business partners.
- Business Partners: We work with business partners around the world. These business partners ensure the website functions properly and that communications are effective and relevant to each user. The transmission of personal data as described in this Privacy Policy may include international transfers of personal data to countries whose data protection laws are not as comprehensive as those of the European Union. We always look for partners that comply with European standards, but the GDPR is not always complied with outside the EU. In these situations, as required, we enter into contracts to ensure that your personal data will continue to be protected in accordance with European standards.
