Privacy Policy

We place great importance on protecting the privacy of individuals and we take all reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected from misuse and unauthorised disclosure.

This Privacy Policy describes our practises in collecting, using, disclosing, retaining and protecting the information that we or our service providers collect when you visit owlandmonk.com.au (the Website).

It is our intention to always comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)(Act) including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

This Privacy Policy uses definitions of “Personal Information” and “Sensitive Information” as described in the Act.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
“Personal Information” is information we hold which is identifiable as being about you. This information includes information such as your name, address, email address or any other type of information that can reasonably identify an individual, either directly or indirectly.

We collect and store the Personal Information that you provide to us directly or give to us in other forms.

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Generally, we will collect Personal Information:

from you directly when you provide your details to us; and
from you indirectly through emails, forms, face-to-face consultations, mailing list subscriptions, registration and attendance at seminars, business cards and telephone conversations and through use of the services and facilities available through our Website and social media channels;

Additionally, we may also collect any other information you provide while interacting with us.
We will collect and use Personal Information with your consent for a specific purpose and any data collected will be to the extent necessary and not excessive for its purpose. We will also process Personal Information if it is necessary for our legitimate interests or to fulfil a contractual or legal obligation.

By providing us with Personal Information, you consent to the supply of that information subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We do not collect or process any Personal Information from you that is considered "Sensitive Information".

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use your Personal Information to:

conduct our business and provide you with our products and services;
provide, market, develop and research our products and services;
communicate with you to provide or promote our products and services;
purchase goods or services;
carry out identity verification;
help us manage and enhance our business, products and services;
protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others;
comply with our legal obligations;
for a related purpose, where the individual concerned would reasonably expect us to use it for that related purpose;
communicate with you by a variety of measures including, but not limited to, telephone, email, sms or mail;

If you withhold your Personal Information, it may not be possible for us to provide you with our products and services or for you to fully access our Website.

SHARING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

So that we can provide you with our products and services, we have to share some Personal Information with trusted third parties. We do not sell your Personal Information but we share your Personal Information as follows:

With core service providers to enable our business to function
We rely on a few external companies to provide us with services to conduct our business. Our core service providers include technological service providers and companies to help us with our marketing and data analytics.

With regulators and law enforcement agencies when required to do so by law

We may from time to time need to disclose your Personal Information to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request.

When we think it is reasonably necessary to protect you or our business
In the unlikely event that we are the subject of attempted criminal activities, we will take all reasonable steps to protect you and our business but sometimes we may need to share your Personal Information where we think it is reasonably necessary to:

detect, monitor, investigate or prevent any suspected illegal activities, fraud or security issue;
enforce our terms and conditions and to protect your and our rights and property; and/or
investigate and defend any third party claims or allegations

As part of a business sale or purchase, merger or reorganisation

Although we have no current plans to do so, if there is a change of control in our business or a sale or transfer of business assets, we reserve the right to transfer to the extent permissible at law our user databases, together with any personal information and non-personal information contained in those databases.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We are committed to ensuring that the Personal Information you provide to us is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

The transmission and exchange of information is carried out at your own risk. We cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us, or receive from us. Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that your Personal Information that we collect will not be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

PERSONAL INFORMATION RETENTION
We will not keep your Personal Information for longer than is necessary by law or for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. At the end of the retention period, your Personal Information will either be completely deleted or anonymised so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning.

ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You may request details of your Personal Information that we hold in accordance with the provisions of the Act. If you would like a copy of the information which we hold about you or believe that any information we hold on you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, please contact us using the details set out in the "Contact Us" section of this Privacy Policy. We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable. We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on any of your requests.

We reserve the right to refuse to provide you with information that we hold about you in certain circumstances set out in the Act or any other applicable law.
