1. Who We Are

Omnismen ("Omnismen," "we," "us," or "our," omnismen.in) is a men's lifestyle brand offering curated products — spanning our own designs, dropshipped items, third-party supplier products, affiliate products, brand collaborations, and bespoke/made-to-order pieces — alongside cinematic lifestyle content published on our website, YouTube, and social media.

Omnismen exists as an extension of Joshithk's research and practice into modern masculine living, and is managed independently as its own business. This Policy governs Omnismen (omnismen.in) only and describes what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the rights available to you.

2. Definitions

  • "Site" means our website operated on the Shopify platform.
  • "Services" means the Site, our shop, our content (including embedded video and social media integrations), and any related communications (email, SMS, customer support).
  • "Personal Information" means information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to an identifiable individual.
  • "Processing" means any operation performed on Personal Information, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, or deletion.
  • "We," "Controller" means Omnismen, which determines the purposes and means of processing your Personal Information.
  • "Service Providers" means third parties we engage to perform functions on our behalf (e.g., Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, suppliers).

3. Personal Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Give Us

  • Contact & account details: name, email address, phone number
  • Order details: billing and shipping address, payment details (see Section 9), order history
  • Bespoke order details: measurements, customization notes, engraving text, and other specifications you submit for made-to-order items
  • Communications: messages sent via email, contact forms, or social media
  • Newsletter data: email address, if you subscribe

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Device & usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, time zone
  • Behavioral data: pages viewed, products browsed, referring/exit pages, time on page, search terms
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 7)

3.3 Information From Third Parties

  • Payment confirmation from our payment processor
  • Delivery/tracking updates from suppliers, dropship partners, or carriers
  • Referral data from affiliate partners
  • Engagement analytics from YouTube and social platforms (aggregated, where available)
  • Analytics and advertising data from tools such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel

We do not have a login/account system beyond standard Shopify checkout accounts, so most data we hold relates directly to orders, subscriptions, and Site usage — not an ongoing user profile beyond that.

4. How We Use Your Information & Our Legal Basis

Purpose Examples Legal Basis
Fulfil orders Routing your order to the right supplier/partner, shipping, invoicing Performance of a contract
Customer service Responding to inquiries, resolving issues Performance of a contract / legitimate interest
Bespoke production Using your specifications to create custom items Performance of a contract
Marketing Sending newsletters, drops, or content updates Consent (opt-in; withdrawable anytime)
Site improvement Analytics, understanding usage patterns Legitimate interest
Advertising Retargeting, interest-based ads Consent, where required by law
Fraud prevention Detecting and preventing abuse Legitimate interest
Legal compliance Tax records, responding to lawful requests Legal obligation

Where GDPR or similar law applies, we rely on one of these bases for every use of your Personal Information. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting past processing.

5. How We Share Your Information

Because Omnismen fulfils products through multiple models, sharing depends on the product type:

Product Type Who Receives Your Data Purpose
Own Products Omnismen team, shipping carrier Fulfilment
Dropship Products Third-party supplier/manufacturer, shipping carrier Direct fulfilment from supplier
Affiliate Products Affiliate partner's site (checkout happens there) You complete the purchase under their policy
Brand Collaboration Omnismen and the partner brand Co-branded production/fulfilment
Bespoke Products Omnismen team, producing craftsperson/manufacturer Custom production

We share only the minimum data needed to fulfil your order (typically name, shipping address, order details) — not full payment details.

We also share information with:

  • Shopify, our e-commerce platform: https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy
  • Payment processors, to process transactions securely
  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), to understand Site usage
  • Advertising partners, for retargeting/interest-based ads, where you have not opted out
  • Professional advisors (lawyers, accountants), where necessary
  • Legal or regulatory authorities, when required by law, subpoena, or court order

We do not sell your Personal Information, and we do not share it with any other business or property outside of Omnismen's own operations.

If Omnismen is ever acquired, merged, or its assets transferred, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction — see Section 16.

6. Content Across YouTube & Social Media

Omnismen publishes cinematic lifestyle content on our website, YouTube, and social media (e.g., Instagram). Please note:

  • Embedded content: Videos embedded on the Site may set cookies or collect data under YouTube's own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Social platforms: Interactions on our YouTube or social profiles (comments, likes, DMs, follows) are governed by that platform's own privacy policy — we don't control how they handle your data, though we may see aggregated engagement analytics.
  • Cross-platform advertising: We may use tools like the Meta Pixel or YouTube/Google conversion tracking to understand how content drives traffic or purchases, and to show relevant ads across platforms (see Section 7 for opt-outs)

7. Cookies, Analytics & Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep your cart and preferences saved
  • Understand Site usage and content performance
  • Serve interest-based ads on other platforms

Managing cookies: You can control cookies via your browser settings.

Opting out of interest-based ads:

We do not currently alter our practices in response to browser "Do Not Track" signals, but we do honor recognized opt-out signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) where required by applicable law: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/

8. Affiliate Links Disclosure

Some content and product listings on Omnismen include affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Once you leave Omnismen to complete a purchase on a partner's site, that site's own privacy policy applies — not this one. Review their policy before purchasing.

9. Payment Security

Payments are processed through Shopify's secure checkout and/or third-party payment processors. We do not store your full card details — these are handled directly by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors.

10. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures — including secure hosting via Shopify, restricted internal access to order data, and encrypted payment processing — to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Data Retention

We retain order and account information for as long as necessary to fulfil orders, meet legal/tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Bespoke order specifications are retained only as long as needed for production, unless you ask us to keep them on file for future orders. You may request deletion at any time, subject to legal retention requirements (Section 14).

12. International Data Transfers

Omnismen is based in India. Our Site is powered by Shopify, which may process data in the United States, Canada, or elsewhere. If you're located outside India, your information may be processed in a country with different data protection laws than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

13. Third-Party Links

Our Site and content may link to third-party websites — suppliers, affiliate partners, social media, or brand collaborators. Any information you provide on those sites is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the Personal Information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent for marketing at any time
  • Request portability of your data
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

India (DPDP Act, 2023): You may access, correct, or request erasure of your personal data, and withdraw consent for processing. EEA/UK (GDPR/UK GDPR): The rights above apply, and you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. California (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale/sharing of your Personal Information. We do not sell Personal Information.

Verification: To protect your data, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling a rights request, such as confirming details linked to your order or account.

Appeals: If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying to our response with your reasoning; we will review and respond within a reasonable time.

To exercise any right, contact us using Section 19.

15. Children's Privacy

Omnismen is not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with Personal Information, contact us so we can delete it.

16. Business Transfers

If Omnismen is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, your Personal Information may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any material change in ownership or use of your Personal Information, where required by law.

17. Governing Law

This Policy is governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory local law (e.g., GDPR for EEA/UK residents, CCPA for California residents) grants you additional rights that cannot be waived.

18. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices, products, sourcing partners, or legal requirements. We'll post the updated version here with a revised "Last Updated" date, and where changes are material, we'll provide reasonable notice (e.g., via email or a Site notice).
