The Odyssey name and reputation were built on a foundation of trust. This online privacy policy describes the information Odyssey collects through the services available on our website, Odyssey.in (the “Site”) and the Unwind Program, and how we use that information. Our policy also describes the choices you can make about how we collect and use your information.

Please note: Odysseystores.com was the original website of Odyssey, we later migrated to Odyssey.in. You would always be taken to Odyssey.in when you visit www.odysseystores.com.

Odyssey may collect personal information. Personal information means information about an identifiable individual and may include:
  • identifying information, such as name, address, e-mail address;
  • financial information, such as credit card number; and
  • Employment-related information, such as may be found on resumes, applications, background verification information, or in employment references.
Personal information does not include business contact information (e.g. office address, telephone number) in those jurisdictions that recognize such information as not being personal information.

We may receive personal information from the website of any Odyssey’s sub-brand(s) / brand extensions.

Personal information will be collected, to the extent possible, directly from the individual concerned.

In addition to the personal information you actively provide us, we also collect website use information which includes information about your internet service provider, browser type, domain name, IP address, the website that referred you to us, the web pages you request, the date and time of those requests, and entry and exit points. Our collection of website use information may involve the use of cookies and pixel tags.

Odyssey may also collect aggregated data, which is data from which the identity of an individual cannot be determined. Since it is not personal information, Odyssey may use aggregated data in any way that it considers appropriate.

Odyssey may use personal information provided verbally or in writing (including via electronic media) by customers and potential employees in order to:
  • Process and manage your purchase of Odyssey’s products and services, including the purchase and use of your Odyssey’s Card including the Unwind Program;
  • Communicate with you about your order or purchase, your Odyssey’s Unwind account, your Odyssey.in account, or a contest you have entered;
  • Respond to your customer service inquiries;
  • Communicate with you about:
  • specific jobs, job opportunities or general information about employment at Odyssey, in the event you have created a personal profile or submitted your resume online;
  • our brands, products, events or other promotional purposes, including co-branded offers, if you have opted to receive such communications either through providing your email address in pages of Odyssey.in or by indicating as such in your communication preferences when you signed up for a Odyssey.in account;
  • Communicate, to the extent required, with and manage our relationship with Odyssey’s consultants, strategic partners, agents, distributors, suppliers, contractors and other companies affiliated with Odyssey in order to improve Odyssey’s offering of products and services; and
  • Meet any applicable legal and regulatory requirement.
We may arrange to have marketing and promotional information of other companies sent to you that we think might be of interest to you only if you tell us that you would like to receive these sorts of materials in your communication preferences.

Our website may also share information with companies that provide support services to us (such as credit card processors, mailing houses or web hosts) or that help us market our products and services (such as email vendors). These companies may need information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we share with them for any other purpose.

We may disclose specific information upon governmental request, in response to a court order, when required by law, to enforce our corporate policies, or to protect our or others' rights, property, or safety. We do not provide information to these agencies or companies for marketing or commercial purposes.

In the event of a sale of some or all of our business, Odyssey may disclose personal information to those involved in a transfer of all or part of the assets or business.

Unless permitted by law, no personal information is collected, without first obtaining your consent for the collection, use and sharing of that information. The provision of personal information to Odyssey’s means that you agree and consent that we may collect, use and share your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy.

In addition, where appropriate, specific authorizations or consents may be obtained from time to time. For example, we may seek consent to use and share personal information after it has been collected in those cases where Odyssey’s wishes to use the information for a purpose not previously identified or for which the individual concerned has not previously provided consent.

In most cases, and subject to legal and contractual restrictions, an individual is free to refuse or withdraw his or her consent at any time upon reasonable, advance notice. It should be noted that in some circumstances, certain Odyssey’s products and services can only be offered if a person provides personal information to Odyssey. If you choose not provide us with any required personal information, we may not be able to offer the products or services requested. We will inform you of the consequences of the withdrawal of consent.

We may use your e-mail address and other contact information provided to us through the Site or the Odyssey Card Program to send you promotional materials from us and, if you’ve opted in, from third parties. If you do not want to receive such promotional information, you can change your communication preferences and remove yourself from our e-mail list at any time. If you have a Odyssey.in account, please log in and go to the communication preferences page.

Please also note that even if you opt out of receiving promotional emails from us, we may still use your information to communicate with you for other purposes, such as orders/purchases, your Odyssey Card account, customer service responses and job related communications.
