4. Responsibilities as a Data Processor

Dual Processing Roles

Omni Tend acts as a Data Processor for data you upload and manage through the Platform. This includes:

  • Your business data: Customer records, inventory, business documents
  • Your customers' personal data: When you operate a web shop through our Platform, we process personal data of your end-customers (web shop visitors and purchasers) on your behalf

Important: You remain the Data Controller for your end-customers' data. You are responsible for:

  • Providing privacy notices to your end-customers
  • Obtaining necessary consents (e.g., marketing consent for SMS/email)
  • Ensuring lawful processing of their data
  • Responding to data subject requests from your end-customers

Our Commitments as Your Data Processor

  • We process your data and your end-customers' data only on your instructions.
  • We implement technical and organisational measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of all data.
  • We notify you of any personal data breaches affecting your data without undue delay upon becoming aware.
  • Sub-processors are authorised in writing, and we ensure they meet the same data protection standards (see Section 3).
  • We assist you in responding to data subject requests from your end-customers where reasonably possible.
  • Upon termination, we delete or return your data as per your instructions and our retention policy.

GDPR Data Processing Addendum: Our SaaS Terms of Service incorporate by reference our comprehensive Data Processing Addendum (available at https://omnitend.com/gdpr-dpa), which governs how we process data on your behalf as a data processor.

5. Customer Rights

Note for End-Customers: If you are a customer of a business that uses our Platform (i.e., you purchased from a shop powered by Omni Tend), you should direct your data subject rights requests to that business directly, not to Omni Tend.

  • Right to data portability (Art. 20): Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and transmit it to another controller.

  • Right to object (Art. 21): Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

You may withdraw consent through your account settings on the Platform, by emailing privacy@omnitend.com, or (for marketing communications) using the unsubscribe link in emails.

All other data subject rights requests should be submitted to privacy@omnitend.com. We will respond to requests within one month as required by GDPR, or inform you if an extension is necessary.

6. Data Security and Retention

Security Measures

  • Data is protected through encryption, secure hosting practices, access controls, and audit logging.
  • Only authorised Omni Tend personnel and contractors with a legitimate need have access to personal or Customer data.
  • Customers are responsible for the security of their accounts and credentials.

Data Retention Periods

We retain different categories of data for specific periods:

  • Account registration data: Retained for 30 days after account termination or deletion request, unless longer retention is required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes such as defending legal claims, resolving payment disputes, or tax and regulatory compliance.

  • Billing and financial records: Retained for 7 years after the last transaction, in compliance with UK tax and accounting regulations.

  • Platform usage logs and monitoring data: Retained for 12 months for security, debugging, and service improvement purposes.

  • Support communications: Retained for 3 years to maintain service quality and handle potential disputes.

  • Customer-uploaded data (including end-customer data processed on behalf of Customers): Deleted within 30 days after account termination, or immediately upon Customer request, unless longer retention is required by applicable law or for legitimate business purposes such as defending legal claims, resolving disputes, or regulatory compliance. Data in backup systems may be retained for up to 180 days following normal backup deletion cycles.

  • Payment processor data: Retained according to the payment processor's retention policies and legal requirements.

After these periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised beyond recovery.

All decisions regarding your account, services, or data processing involve human review and oversight.
