Privacy Policy

Ozuno Trading Pty Ltd (ABN 96 921 194 483) and its related companies (together we, us, our and other similar expressions) are committed to the privacy of your personal information.

This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect, store, use and disclose your personal information.

Information is your ‘personal information’ if it is about you as an identified or identifiable individual.

Privacy Principles

We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act 1988(Cth).

The personal information that we collect, store, use and disclose is dealt with in accordance with the APPs.  You can see the full text of the APPs online at https://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/australian-privacy-principles/.

Purpose and Type of Information Collected

In order to provide our customers with products and services, we may collect and use personal information.

If we are not provided with all the personal information we request, we may not be able to supply our products and services, and you or your organisation may not be able to participate in future offers of goods or services which we supply.  In addition, we may not be able to assess a request for credit or deferred payment terms, establish an account or increase your credit limit.

The kinds of information we collect will depend on the nature of our dealings with you, and may include but not be limited to names, date of birth, addresses, email addresses, banking account information, credit card details (if you buy or use our products or services), other contact details and business related information including job title and position.

We may also collect details of any of the following:

(a) Your use of our products or services;

(b) Any errors or malfunctions in connection with our products or services; and

(c) Any other personal information about you.

Credit card numbers are not stored in any form by us on any internal or external database.

Collection of credit information

If you are a customer and we give you credit, we may also collect credit information or credit eligibility information about you.  Credit information and credit eligibility information are particular types of personal information. The credit information and credit eligibility information we may collect about you includes the following:

  • identification information;
  • credit liability information;
  • repayment history information;
  • details of any request for your information that we receive from a credit provider, mortgage insurer or trade insurer;
  • the type and amount of credit sought by or provided to you;
  • default information (including overdue payments);
  • payment information;
  • court proceedings information;
  • personal insolvency information;
  • information about any serious credit infringement by you;
  • information disclosed in reports obtained from credit reporting bodies;
  • information from property searches; and
  • information provided by trade references.

We generally collect your credit information or credit eligibility information directly from you or through our credit management agency National Credit Insurance (Brokers) Pty Ltd. For example, this information is collected if you complete our Trade Credit Application Form.

We may also collect credit information or credit eligibility information about you from third parties, for example from any organisation with whom you have any dealings, credit reporting bodies such as Equifax, Illion or Experion, or from publicly maintained records.

We collect, use and disclose credit information and credit eligibility information about you to assess whether to extend credit to you.

If permitted under the Privacy Act 1988(Cth), we may disclose credit information or credit eligibility information about you to any organisation with whom you have any dealings, credit reporting bodies, creditors, other traders in the markets we trade in, our commercial customers, our suppliers and retailers of our products.

More information about credit information is contained in the privacy policy section of the application for trade credit.
