What is personal information?

In this policy, ‘personal information’ has the meaning given in the Privacy Acts and Principles.  In general terms, it is any information that can be used to personally identify you.  This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address and profession or occupation.  If the information or an opinion, whether true or not, that oOh! collects identifies you personally, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, that information or opinion will be considered personal information – including if it is part of a database. This policy does not apply to the information we collect and hold about oOh! employees and former employees in the course of their employment with us.

Wherever lawful and practical, you will have the option of not identifying yourself when entering into transactions with oOh!.

Cookies

In some cases, oOh! may also collect your personal information through the use of ‘cookies’, pixels or other tracking code.  When you access our websites, we may send your computer a ‘cookie’ (a small unit of data temporarily stored on the hard disk of your computer by your web browser).  Cookies help with things like site navigation and user-friendliness. They also tell us which products or services you view so that, if you consent, oOh! can send you news about those products or services.  We also use cookies to see traffic patterns, which areas of our websites are visited most or least, and then improve our online products and services.

The majority of web browsers accept cookies automatically.  You can disable cookies, but it might restrict your ability to access certain areas of our websites. We may log IP addresses (the electronic addresses of computers connected to the internet), MAC addresses, Bluetooth numbers, NFC numbers and IMEI numbers to analyse trends, administer our websites or digital platforms, track users’ online movements, and gather broad demographic information.

If tracking code is used, held or disclosed by us so that you are reasonably identifiable as a person associated with information derived through use of that tracking code, this information will be personal information about you under this policy.

Where tracking code is used, held or disclosed by us so that you are not reasonably identifiable as a person associated with information derived through use of that tracking code, this deidentified information is not treated as personal information under this policy.

The majority of web browsers accept cookies automatically.  You can disable cookies, but it might restrict your ability to access certain areas of our websites.

Direct marketing materials

oOh! may send you direct marketing communications and information about our products and services and those of our sponsors and commercial partners that we think may be of interest to you. These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS, fax and email, in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Australian Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and the New Zealand Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.  If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, oOh! will try to use that method whenever practical.  At any time, you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting our Privacy Officer at the contact details below or by using the opt-out facilities in our marketing communications. oOh! will ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list.

Unless stated in the relevant terms and conditions, oOh! does not provide your personal information to other organisations for the purposes of allowing them to send you direct marketing.

How can you get and correct your personal information?

You have certain rights to access the personal information we hold about you. To request access or to find out what information we have about you, please contact our Privacy Officer at the details below.  Where oOh! holds information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you).  oOh! may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing you the information. oOh! will not charge you for making the request, nor for making any corrections to your personal information.

Sometimes, oOh! cannot grant access to personal information (for example, if it interferes with the privacy of others or would breach confidentiality).  If that happens, we will sent you the written reasons for any refusal.

If we provide you with access to the personal information we hold about you, and you believe the information is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you may ask us to amend it. oOh! will consider if the information requires amendment. Even if we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.

What is the process for complaining about a breach of privacy?

If you believe that your privacy has been breached, please email a full description of the issue to our Privacy Officer at the details below. We will treat your requests or complaints confidentially. Our Privacy Officer will contact you within a reasonable time after receipt of your complaint to discuss your concerns and outline options to resolve them. oOh! aims to ensure that your complaint is resolved in timely and appropriate manner.

Security

oOh! takes reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is protected from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.  We may hold your information in either hard copy or electronic form on our servers and secured third party servers. We destroy or de-identify personal information when it is no longer needed.

As our websites are linked to the internet, and the internet is inherently insecure, however, oOh! cannot provide any assurance regarding the secure transmission of information you communicate to us online.  Similarly, we cannot guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted during its transmission over the internet. Because of this, any information you send to us online is at your own risk.
