Privacy Policy
OZ Tech & Biz recognizes the importance of privacy issues. We only collect the personal information we reasonably require, in the course of our business of providing services, in accordance with this Privacy Policy by lawful, fair, and non-intrusive means. This Privacy Policy describes how we manage the personal information that we collect, use, hold and disclose, and how to contact us if you have any queries. We comply with applicable privacy laws, and we are committed to taking all reasonably available measures to protect your privacy.
By visiting our website and/or providing personal information to us, you consent to the terms and conditions in this Privacy Policy unless you advise us to the contrary by following the instructions contained on our website or by contacting us.
Where we store your personal information depends on what products and services you have requested from us. However, some areas may include (amongst other things):
- Our online ordering system for use in processing transactions.
- Feedback databases for processing customer feedback.
Personal Information Storage
We take reasonable steps to preserve your personal information from loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure in accordance with our website Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy.
We regularly review developments in security and encryption technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of the information in our own systems.
If a substantial data breach has or may have occurred (i.e., your personal information was shared with unauthorized entities), we will promptly notify you and the Privacy Commissioner about that actual or possible breach.
We only keep your personal information for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was collected or as otherwise required by law. We take appropriate measures to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information when we no longer need to retain it. These measures may vary depending on the type of personal information concerned, the way it was collected, and how it is stored.
