Overview / 00
What this means in practice.
Each section explains the user-facing promise, the operational boundary behind it, and where to go when something needs attention.
01
Information you choose to provide
This can include account details, current country, preferred language, country of origin, previous home, self-described cultural background, care preferences, accessibility needs, booking details, support requests, and information required for professional applications.
02
Why information is used
Information is used to operate accounts, establish eligibility, personalize matching, deliver bookings and meetings, process payments, prevent abuse, answer support requests, meet legal duties, and improve reliability.
Necessary service and contract administration
Safety, fraud prevention, and platform security
Legal obligations and professional-governance duties
Optional preferences or communications based on a valid choice
03
Sensitive context and separation
Cultural, care, health-related, and professional-verification information can require additional protection. Omkin limits collection, separates sensitive fields where appropriate, restricts staff access, and records administrative access or change events.
04
Sharing and international processing
Information is shared only with the professional, service provider, authority, or other recipient needed for the stated purpose and permitted by law. Employer billing records never include voucher redemption, an individual's care choices, or session activity.
Payment providers receive transaction information, not session content.
Meeting providers receive what is required to establish the session.
Vendors act under documented security and data-use obligations.
Cross-border transfers use an applicable legal safeguard.
05
Retention, security, and your choices
Records are kept only for an identified operational, safety, legal, financial, or professional purpose, then deleted or de-identified under a governed schedule. You can use the data-rights route to ask for access, correction, export, restriction, objection, or deletion where applicable.

Questions are part of trust.
Use the dedicated support, privacy, safety, accessibility, or legal route. Emergency needs should always go directly to local services.
