OAED Privacy Policy

We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors; this policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.

Our website uses cookies, and by using our website and agreeing to this policy, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of this policy.

 

(1)          Credit

This privacy document was created using an SEQ Legal template.  Further information available at www.seqlegal.com

(2)          What information do we collect?

We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal information:

  • information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website
  • information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us.
  • information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our website services, email notifications and/or newsletters
  • any other information that you choose to send to us

 

(3)          Cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, whilst some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies.  For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.  Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites.

 

(4)          Using your personal information

Personal information submitted to us via this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website.

We may use your personal information to:

  • administer the web site
  • improve your browsing experience by personalising the web site
  • enable your use of the services available on the website
  • send to you goods purchased via the website, and supply to you services purchased via the website
  • send statements and invoices to you
  • send you general non-marketing communications
  • send you email notifications which you have specifically requested

We will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

 

(5)          Disclosures

We may disclose information about you insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes as set out in this privacy policy.

In addition, we may disclose your personal information:

  • to the extent that we are required to do so by law
  • in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings
  • in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
  • to any person who we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in our reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.

Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not provide your information to third parties.

(6)          Security of your personal information

We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.  But of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.  You are responsible for keeping your password and user details confidential. We will not ask you for your password (except when you log in to the website).

 

(7)          Policy amendments

We may update this privacy policy from time-to-time by posting a new version on our website.  You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes. 

 

(8)          Your rights

You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you.  Provision of such information will be subject to:

  • the payment of a fee
  • the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity

We may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.

(9)          Third party websites

The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third party websites.

 

(10)        Updating information
