This is the privacy policy of Oricom International Pty Ltd ABN 46 086 116 369, Oricom Holdings Pty Ltd ABN 30 158 094 976 and our related entities (Oricom).

Oricom is committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information.

Personal Information

Personal information means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether or not recorded in a material form, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.

Some examples of personal information we might collect are:

  1. general, personal or business details: such as your name, job title, contact number, address and email address
  2. Employment Information: if you are a current or former or prospective employee, contractor, partner or office holder, other information as necessary and relevant to your employment
  3. Log information: when you use our services, we may gather some information automatically and store it in service log files.
  4. Device information: for example, device model, operating system version, unique device identifier, battery, signal strength
  5. Software information: for example, software version and browser type, we may collect the information of the mobile applications and other software you use.
  6. Location information:
    1. when you use the location-related services, we may record the location information (including via IP Address, GPS, WiFi or cell tower locations) of your device in order to provide relevant services.
    2. geographic location information that you or other users provide when using the services, for example, the account you provide may share your location information.

Sensitive Information

Where relevant and with your consent, we may collect sensitive information including:

  1. information about your health and any disabilities in connection with your employment; and
  2. your gender, ethnicity and other sensitive personal information collected either directly from you or from third parties, including as part of our recruitment processes.

Remaining anonymous or using a pseudonym

You may choose to interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym.

Sometimes it may be impracticable to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym, or we may be legally required to deal with an individual in an identified form. For example, we will not be able to open a commercial credit trading account or process a commercial credit application for you without obtaining identification details. We will notify you at the time of collection if this is the case.

How we will collect and hold your personal information

We generally endeavour to collect your information directly from you. However, in some circumstances we may collect your information from third parties, such as:

  1. your employer, your business contacts or other organisations that you deal with, regulatory or credit reporting agencies, a supplier or from a publicly available record;
  2. you have consented to the collection (which would usually be via our privacy statement and/or credit application form); or
  3. you would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information in this way and it is necessary for us to collect this information for a specific purpose (such as investigation of a complaint).

How we store and keep your information secure

We will take steps to hold personal information in a manner which is secure and protected from unauthorised access.

Your information may be held in either a physical form or in electronic form on our IT system or supply partners storage overseas. We will take steps to protect the information against the modification, disclosure or misuse by including such things as physical restrictions, password protection for accessing electronic IT systems.

We will also endeavour to ensure that our service providers have protection for electronic IT systems and other necessary restrictions. We will endeavour to ensure our staff are trained with respect to the security of the personal information we hold, and we will restrict any access where necessary.

We will endeavour to destroy and de-identify the personal information once it is no longer required.

The purpose for which we collect and hold personal information

We aim only to collect personal information for the purpose for which it was provided, for a related secondary purpose, any other purpose you have consented to, and any purpose permitted under the law.

Oricom will primarily use or disclose your personal information for the purpose for which it was provided to us. For instance, we may use and disclose your personal information:

  1. to complete the services we provide or in order to supply you or your organisation with goods ordered;
  2. to perform our administration and other operations including accounting, risk management, record keeping and archiving; 
  3. to better understand our customers’ interests and requirements;
  4. to assess credit applications, credit worthiness and credit guarantees;
  5. to assess the suitability of a candidate for an employment position within our business and complete our recruitment and screening processes;
  6. for complaints handling purposes; 
  7. to improve our products and services; 
  8. online customer reviews;
  9. for product and recall purposes;
  10. to contact customers for market research purposes; and
  11. application login credentials

We may also use your personal information (including your business name and address) for related secondary purposes which you would reasonably expect, such as providing you with details about other goods or services offered by us, as well as any promotions or sales relating to our business that may be of interest to you.

We may also collect personal information from other credit providers, Credit Reporting Body (CRB).
