If your inbox looks anything like mine, it’s probably currently full of emails about updates to privacy policies of the various services that you use.

Omni has also updated our privacy policy to be compliant with the new data privacy regulations outlined by the European Union, known as “GDPR”.

Your privacy is important to you and that makes it important to us. There’s a high level of trust involved in the relationship that we have with our customers and we want to keep earning it.

The changes here aren’t dramatic, because we’ve always tried to give customers as much control over their data as possible. This updated policy is specific about what kinds of information that we collect and have access to and how you can go about exercising your right to control the information that we keep. Although this update is in response to new regulations effecting our European customers, we will extend the same options to all of our customers regardless of their location.

If you want to track specific changes, you can check out our GitHub repository.

We hope that this policy update seems reasonable to you. If it doesn’t, please contact us about your concern at info@omnigroup.com.

After seeing what happened yesterday in Haiti, one of our employees suggested that we might be able to organize a group donation to organizations providing aid. A few hours and several discussions later, we were able to combine company funds and employee contributions to donate $45,100 to the following organizations:

• Doctors Without Borders
• The Red Cross
• Oxfam International
• Partners In Health

Events like this make us feel fortunate for the safety of our families. I just wanted to take a moment to commend our employees for getting involved and recognize how honored I am to be able to work with such a great group of caring and generous people.

If you've been thinking about donating to an aid organization, we hope that this inspires you to take the next step.
