Privacy Statement, Privacy Policy And Collection Notification Statement

In this privacy policy, the expressions "Merchant", "we", "us" and "our" are a reference to Ozhiphopshop.com (ABN 56 172 090 031)

 

This privacy policy applies to personal information collected by us. We are bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which governs the way private sector organisations collect, use, keep secure and disclose personal information.

 

This Privacy Policy is to inform people of:

• how and when the Merchant collects personal information;
• how the Merchant uses and discloses personal information;
• how the Merchant keeps personal information secure, accurate and up-to-date;
• how an individual can access and correct their personal information; and
• how the Merchant will facilitate or resolve a privacy complaint.

If you have any concerns or complaints about the manner in which your personal information has been collected, used or disclosed by us, we have put in place an effective mechanism and procedure for you to contact us so that we can attempt to resolve the issue or complaint. Please see paragraph 10 for further details.

 

We can be e-mailed care of info@Ozhiphopshop.com or write to us at PO Box 217, Rochedale South, Qld, 4123 and our privacy officer will then attempt to resolve the issue.

 

As the Merchant, we will allow you to correspond or speak with us anonymously, if and when it is lawful and practicable to do so. For example, if you wish to make an inquiry as to the price of tickets for an event, we do not need your personal information.

 

We recommend that you keep this information for future reference.
