This following document sets forth the Privacy Policy for the The Business Operating System (The BOS) website, https://www.thebos.com.au/ (Site), detailing how we manage the personal information which we have about individuals.
As our client we respect your right to be aware of who has information about you, what they are doing with it and why, and who else they are sharing it with. The BOS is committed to providing you with the best possible customer service experience. The BOS is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals.
Collection of your personal information
There are many aspects of the Site which can be viewed without providing personal information, however, for access to future The BOS customer support features you are required to submit personally identifiable information. This may include but is not limited to your name, email address, telephone number and sensitive information you may provide in requesting a response from us.
How we hold personal information
The BOS takes all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information which we hold is protected from misuse, interference or loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We do this by having physical, electronic and procedural safeguards which protect the personal information we hold. For example, the personal information is stored in secure office premises or in secure archiving facilities. Logins and passwords are required to access our electronic databases. Our staff are required to maintain the confidentiality of personal information and access to personal information is restricted to persons who require the information to perform their duties. Where practical, we only keep personal information for as long as is required to meet our legal requirements or internal needs.
Sharing of your personal information
To provide our services in the most cost effective and efficient way, we may occasionally hire other companies to provide services on our behalf, including but not limited to handling customer support enquiries, processing transactions or customer freight shipping. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. The BOS takes reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.
Generally, we will retain your personal information within Australia, and it is not likely that we will use or disclose it overseas. In the unlikely event that the information may need to be transferred overseas in order to perform one of our functions or activities, we will either obtain your express or implied consent or will use our best endeavours to ensure that your personal information will receive protection similar to that which it would have if the information were in Australia.
