Privacy Policy

OZPWC Classifieds and our related entities(collectively referred to as “OZPWC”, “we”, “our” and “us”) respect your privacy and comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the National Privacy Principles contained therein.

OZPWC also complies with the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (NSW), pursuant to which you have the right to know the information that OZPWC collects about users of its website, the purpose for which the information is collected, how the information is used and to whom, if anyone, the information is to be disclosed, as well as with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), which deals with restrictions on sending emails.

Set out below is information that OZPWC is required to communicate to our customers. We recommend that you keep this information for future reference. This information does not in any way restrict OZPWC’s rights under the above-mentioned statutes and/or any other applicable law and/or legislation.

This Privacy policy does not apply to acts and practices of an OZPWC entity which relate directly to the employee records of that OZPWC entity’s current and former employees.

Although our policy specifically addresses OZPWC’s obligations in respect of the laws of Australia, OZPWC applies, where practicable, those principles and the processes set out below to its operations globally, subject to any requirements of local law.

Your personal information

Our purpose in collecting information about you is to:

• provide you with a better service experience with content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests; and
• create a business information and classifieds database for use as part of OZPWC’s online business. Whilst OZPWC’s business information database is designed to operate as a Classifieds (not a directory of individuals) it is possible that personal information may become included in the business information database.

Personal information held by OZPWC may include your name, business name, ABN, date of birth, current and previous addresses, telephone/mobile phone number, e-mail address, bank account or credit card details, preferences for using our websites, occupation, driver’s licence number and any other information which we may require in order to provide you with our services (“the services”). We also hold details of your OZPWC services, including their status, as well as certain details about your personal interests.

If you choose not to provide us with certain personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the services you require, or the level of service on which we pride ourselves.

Occasionally, you may need to provide personal information about other individuals to OZPWC (eg about your authorised representatives). If so, we rely on you to inform those individuals that you are providing their personal information to OZPWC and advise them that we can be contacted for further information.
