Privacy policy

Otmar Miller Consultancy:

Collects only such personal information about a customer as we need to do business with the customer. This will usually be the customer’s name, address, contact telephone number, e-mail address, delivery details and purchasing information (for example, the items being purchased).
Does not sell or rent personal information about our customers, including names, addresses and telephone numbers, to any outside person or organisation.
Will use a customer's personal information for Otmar Miller Consultancy’s own marketing purposes only if we have first requested and received your permission to do so.

How and why does Otmar Miller Consultancy collect and use personal information?

Otmar Miller Consultancy does not collect personal information unless it is necessary for us to carry out our functions and activities as a retailer. We only collect such information by lawful and fair means, and in an unobtrusive manner.

We will let you know:

when we collect information about you
what information we collect and hold about you, and why we collect such information
how that information is used by us and any organisations, or types of organisations to which the information would potentially be disclosed
if we are required by law to collect such information
the consequences, if any, of you not disclosing such information
that you can access such information and how you can access such information
how you can correct such information if it is not correct.

Wherever possible, you have the option of transacting with us anonymously as a customer. Once you decide to make an online purchase you will need to cease to be anonymous. We require your details in order to process your purchase and deliver it to you. Failure to complete this information fully may mean that you will not be able to purchase goods using this site. If you wish to purchase from us anonymously, you may do so in person, using cash at any collaborating bookstore — check our website for listings or ask your local bookstore to order it in on your behalf.

Personal information is requested or collected only when it is required to assist you in efficiently completing your transaction or in handling your enquiry. Generally, there is no obligation to provide us with any of the personal information that we may request. However, if you choose not to provide us with the requested information we may not be able to offer the requested service, or we may not be able to handle it as efficiently on your behalf.

The information we require in the delivery section must be completed, so that we can deliver the items purchased. Failure to provide a delivery address will mean that the goods will not be delivered. Where the details provided are about a third party, we will inform the third party as to how we received their details.
