Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Olive Plantations of Australia Pty Limited ACN 081 879 423 ("OPAL") including its subsidiaries and affiliates (together referred to as "OPAL Group"), handles the personal information that you provide to us on web sites controlled by OPAL which link to this Privacy Policy (together referred to as "OPAL Web Site(s)"). Unless otherwise specifically noted, this Privacy Policy does not apply to personal information collected from you offline, or to third-party web sites to which OPAL Web Sites may link save as otherwise provided herein. Your use of OPAL Web Sites is subject to this Privacy Policy and the Online Terms of Use.
Please read this Privacy Policy before using OPAL Web Sites or submitting personal information to us.
What is "personal information" as used in this Privacy Policy?
"Personal information" means information that identifies you or could be used to identify you and which is submitted to and/or collected by OPAL Web Sites. Examples of personal information include your name, your postal address, your e-mail address and your telephone number.
How does OPAL collect information online?
OPAL collects information in two ways:
1. Personal Information You Submit:
OPAL collects personal information that you enter into data fields on OPAL Web Sites. For example, you may submit your name, postal address, e-mail address, and/or other information in order to receive information about various subjects, register for OPAL programmes, contact OPAL customer service, or respond to OPAL surveys. To protect your privacy, you should not provide OPAL with any information that is not specifically requested.
2. Passive Collection of Unidentifiable Information:
OPAL Web Sites may collect information about your visits to OPAL Web Sites without you actively submitting such information. Unidentifiable information may be collected using various technologies, such as cookies, and web beacons. Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your computer's hard disk by a website. Web beacons (also referred to as GIF files, pixels or Internet tags) help OPAL recognise a unique cookie on your browser. Your Internet browser automatically transmits to OPAL Web Sites some of this unidentifiable information, such as the URL of the web site you just visited and the browser version your computer is operating. Passive information collection technologies can make your use of OPAL Web Sites easier by allowing OPAL to provide better service, customise OPAL Web Sites based on consumer preferences, compile statistics, analyse trends, and otherwise administer and improve OPAL Web Sites. Certain features of OPAL Web Sites may not work without use of passive information collection technologies. Information collected by these technologies cannot be used to identify you without additional identifiable information and OPAL will not connect additional identifiable information with information collected through the use of such tracking technologies. With respect to limiting or disabling tracking technology please see below "What choices do I have about how OPAL collects and uses personal information about me?"
In what circumstances and for what purposes might OPAL collect and use personal information?
OPAL will use the personal information you provide through OPAL Web Sites to respond to your questions and to provide you with efficient customer service. After you have entered personal information into a form or data field on any OPAL Web Site, OPAL may use certain identifying technologies to allow that OPAL Web Site to "remember" your personal preferences. We will only use your personal information for other business purposes, such as to offer you the opportunity to receive notices regarding OPAL's products or services.
Does OPAL consolidate personal information?
OPAL may consolidate the personal information of customers who use OPAL Web Sites. In addition, we may consolidate information in a non-identifiable form (aggregate/anonymous data) to help us better design OPAL Web Sites and OPAL products, to enhance our research activities, and to facilitate other business functions.
What choices do I have about how OPAL collects and uses personal information about me?
You may always limit the amount and type of personal information that OPAL receives about you by choosing not to enter any personal information into forms or data fields on OPAL Web Sites. Some of our online services can only be provided to you if you provide us with appropriate personal information. Other parts of OPAL Web Sites may ask whether you wish to opt into our contact lists for offers, promotions and additional services that may be of interest to you.
You may also be provided with preference questions or preference boxes allowing you to indicate that you do not want OPAL Web Sites to use tracking technologies, such as cookies, to "remember" your personal information, such as mailing addresses, on return visits. However, OPAL Web Sites that use tracking technologies to collect unidentifiable information do not generally provide you with the ability to opt out of the tracking technologies. Some Internet browsers allow you to limit or disable the use of tracking technologies that collect unidentifiable information.
Who will have access to personal information about me?
Personal information can be accessed by a restricted number of OPAL employees, by certain companies with which OPAL may conduct joint programmes, and by third parties with whom OPAL contracts to carry out business activities for OPAL. We train our employees about the importance of privacy and how to handle and manage customer data appropriately and securely. Also, it is OPAL's practice to seek your consent where required by applicable law if you are registering for a programme which is conducted in conjunction with another company that may require access to your personal information.
Does OPAL share personal information with third parties?
Except as otherwise stated in this Section, OPAL will not transfer your personal information to third parties unless you have been provided with an opportunity to opt-in to this disclosure. OPAL may disclose your personal information without your opt-in to third party service providers which assist us with our business activities. OPAL further reserves the right to disclose your personal information to respond to authorised information requests from government authorities or when otherwise required by law.
How does OPAL secure personal information?
It is OPAL's practice to secure each OPAL Web Site that collects personal information; however, the confidentiality of personal information transmitted over the Internet cannot be guaranteed. We urge you to exercise caution when transmitting personal information over the Internet. OPAL cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will not gain access to your personal information; therefore, when submitting personal information to OPAL Web Sites, you must weigh both the benefits and the risks.
How may I correct personal information or delete it from current customer records?
With your support OPAL will keep personal information accurate and up-to-date. You may request to amend or correct your personal information. Please notify us of your wishes by contacting us in one of the ways specified below.
How long will OPAL store personal information?
In general, OPAL will only store your personal information for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable data retention periods imposed upon OPAL by applicable law.
How can I contact OPAL?
If you have questions about the scope, use or amendment of personal information that you have provided to us, or if you would like to opt out of future communications from a OPAL business or a particular OPAL programme, please contact us by clicking on the "Contact Us" link on the OPAL Web Site you are visiting.
