• When you use our data-collecting devices, products or systems and software.

5. What information do we collect automatically?

Whenever you visit or interact with a Deosan website or another online platform of ours (“Platforms”), we, as well as any third-party service provider and/or advertiser, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively record information about how the Platform is accessed and used (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include your IP address or other unique identifier for the device used to access a Platform (“Device Identifier”), browser type, “Device” type (computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device), operation system, application version, date and time of visit, pages viewed, preceding page views and your use of features or applications on the Platform such as interactions with connections or groups.

Usage Information helps us keep our Platforms relevant to users and allows us to tailor content to a user’s interests. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as a specific and identifiable person, we will treat it as personal information.

We may use Device Identifiers to help us administer Platforms, diagnose problems with our servers, analyse trends, observe Platform usage and activity over time, help identify you and your shopping cart, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Cookies (data files placed on a Device when it is used to visit a Platform) may be used to associate you with social media platforms like Facebook and, if you so choose, enable interaction between your activities on our Platforms and those social media platforms. We or our vendors may place cookies on your Device for security purposes, to facilitate site navigation and personalise your experience while visiting our Platforms (such as allowing us to select which ads or offers are most likely to appeal to you, based on your interests, preferences, location or demographic information).

To learn how you may manage cookies, or delete cookies that have already been installed, please refer to your browser’s help menu or instructions. If you disable or opt out of receiving cookies, some features and functions on our Platforms may not work properly or fully.

If you would like to know more about the use of anonymous browsing information to provide targeted advertisements for goods and services and your choices about not having this anonymous information used please visit:

– The Google Ads Preferences Manager where you can customize Google Display Network ads or opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising; and

– www.networkadvertising.org/consumer/optout.asp, which provides more general information about your options and third-party service providers who collect anonymous information for advertising purposes.

6. Sharing of personal information

Besides our staff, we may share this information with:

• government and law enforcement agencies, bodies and regulators, or a dispute resolution body if we are required to disclose your information to such authorities in order to meet our obligations under law;

• 3rd party mailing houses, printers, organisations in order to assist us to conduct promotions or market research.

7. How do we secure your personal information?

We may hold information about you in digital and paper forms. We take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, loss, interference, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Some of the ways we protect your information include:

• external and internal premise security;

• restricting access to your information only to personnel who need it to perform their functions;

• utilising and maintaining information security applications to prevent unauthorised access or damage to electronically stored information, such as requiring identifiers and passwords, firewalls and anti-virus software;

• storing information entered on website in encrypted files such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

• maintaining physical security over paper records.

At the point that personal information is no longer required we destroy it by shredding any paper files. Digital information is digitally archived within systems and no longer available or visible.

8. How long do we retain your personal information?

We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you have subsequently consented), for other legitimate purposes (such as regulatory compliance) and as permitted or required by applicable laws.

You may request deletion of any information held by contacting us using our contact details set out at the bottom of this policy and Deosan will delete the personal information it holds about you (unless we need to retain it for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy).

9. How can you access and correct your personal information?

You have the right to access and ask us to correct any inaccurate personal information we hold about you. If you would like to review or correct your information, please contact us using the details set out at the bottom of this policy.

Access to your information may be refused in a number of circumstances, such as where the information relates to anticipated legal proceedings. If we deny or restrict your access, we will write to you to let you know why, unless, having regard to the grounds for the refusal, it would be unreasonable for us to do so. You may make a complaint about a refusal to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.

We rely on the information that we hold about you to provide our products and services to you, and to perform our business functions. Therefore, it is very important that the information we hold is accurate, complete, up to date and relevant. This means that, from time to time, we may ask you if your information is still accurate and up to date. If you find that any information that we hold about you is incorrect, you should contact us immediately and we will take reasonable steps to correct it.

10. Resolving concerns

If you believe that your privacy has been compromised, or if you feel that we have breached the privacy laws, you are entitled to make a complaint. Complaints can be made by contacting the person or department you were dealing with, or by contacting us using our contact details set out at the bottom of this policy.

We endeavour to respond to you within 24 hours to acknowledge the complaint and explain how we will investigate it. We will try to resolve your complaint within 20 working days and write to you to explain the reasons for our decision. When this is not possible, we will contact you and let you know how long it will take for us to resolve your complaint.

If your complaint is not satisfactorily resolved, you can contact us to discuss your concerns or lodge a complaint with Office of the Privacy Commissioner by visiting www.privacy.org.nz, calling 0800 803 909 or using the online complaint form.
