PRIVACY POLICY

In operating its business, OWNDAYS Down Under Pty Ltd (ACN 608 028 217) (“OWNDAYS”) handles information collected from customers via our online purchase system or in person at its stores in Australia. For this reason, as a business operator handling personal information, we recognise the importance of personal information, and have therefore established this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), and will implement, maintain and improve measures to protect personal information.

As used in this Policy:

“customer” means an individual who (a) has contacted us through any means to find out more about any goods or services we provide, or (b) may, or has, entered into a contract with us for the supply of any goods or services by us; and

“personal information” means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable: (a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and (b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

“sensitive information” has the meaning given to it under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Act”).

  • Personal information collected and held

    OWNDAYS may collect the following kinds of personal information and health information via our online purchase system, online customer registration system or in person at our stores located in Australia including but not limited to by using the web form which customers are required to fill up before purchasing:

    • your full name;
    • your gender;
    • your street address;
    • your date of birth;
    • your health insurance information and any information contained in your prescriptions, etc. issued by eye doctors;
    • your medicare information;

  • How we collect, hold and disclose your personal information

    Recognising personal information to be an important asset of the individual, all employees engaged in OWNDAYS’ activities handle personal information accurately and safely to prove worthy of customers’ trust.

    OWNDAYS collects, uses, and provides appropriate personal information taking into account the scope and scale of our business. We do not use personal information for purposes other than those intended, and set forth and observe internal rules for ensuring this.

    We do not collect any sensitive information without obtaining your consent.

    We implement preventive measures against illegal access of personal information, loss, damage, falsification, and leakage of personal information, and implement corrective measures promptly in the event any of this occurs.

    OWNDAYS CO., LTD (“OWNDAYS CO”) is our Japanese holding company and OWNDAYS Tech & Media (Thailand) Co., LTD (OWNDAY TM) is a subsidiary of OWNDAYS CO and we delegate the function of management of personal information and health information to the IT departments of OWNDAYS CO and OWNDAYS TM. Accordingly, personal information collected in Australia may be disclosed and stored in Japan and accessed by the IT department specialists.

    We observe laws, including the Act, and regulations related to personal information, guidelines set down by the government, and other standards.

    We manage an appropriate management system for preventing illegal access, loss, damage, falsification, leakage, etc. of personal information managed by OWNDAYS, and periodically review the management system so that it can deal with new illegal access methods. We also reinforce our internal management system and implement through training of all employees engaged in the use of personal information.

    We may retain a customer’s personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws.

    We will cease to retain a customer’s personal information, or remove the means by which such personal information can be associated with a customer, as soon as it is reasonable to assume that such retention no longer serves the purpose for which the personal information was collected, and is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.

  • The purpose of collection and use of personal information

    OWNDAYS only collects and uses personal information for purposes necessary to provide customers with our products and services, and only within the required scope, including but not limited to:

    The Purposes and Additional Purposes listed above may continue to apply even in situations where a customer’s relationship with us (for example, pursuant to a contract) has been terminated or altered in any way, for a reasonable period thereafter (including, where applicable, a period to enable us to enforce our rights under any contract with a customer).

    We may entrust some of our activities and information processing such as the management and storage of information, delivery of postal matter, verification of registration of products and services, distribution of promotional mail or emails etc. to other companies under our supervision.

  • How you may access your personal information and seek correction

    We generally rely on personal information provided by a customer (or a customer’s authorised representative).

    In the event a customer wishes to make (a) an access request (“Access Request”) for access to a copy of their personal information which we hold about such customer or information about the ways in which we use or disclose such customer’s personal information, or (b) a correction request (“Correction Request”) to correct or update any of such customer’s personal information which we hold about such customer, such customer may submit a request in writing or via email to our Data Protection Officer at the contact details provided below (an Access Request and Correction Request hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Requests” and each, a “Request”).

    Please note that a reasonable fee may be charged for an Access Request. If so, we will inform the customer making the Access Request of the fee before processing such customer’s request.

Should we not be able to respond to a Request within thirty (30) days after receiving a Request, we will inform the customer making the Request (the “Requestor”) in writing within thirty (30) days of the time by which we will be able to respond to the Request. If we are unable to provide a Requestor with any personal data or to make a correction requested by a Requestor, we shall generally inform the Requestor of the reasons why we are unable to do so (except where we are not required to do so under the Act).
