Oasys Cookies and Privacy in Plain English
At Oasys we aim to comply with all relevant data protection and privacy regulations, being based in the UK in practical terms this means the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Any information that we collect from you or about you is for our use only and we will not share this with anyone outside our company unless legally required to do so.
So what information do we collect, how do we collect it, why do we collect it and what do we use it for?
If you visit our website, then cookies will be placed on your device and we will be able to tell that someone from your location visited our site at a particular time and visited a number of pages. This information tells us quite a lot about how our site is working and how many people are visiting but nothing about you as an individual.
If you send us an email or a request for further information, then we will consider ourselves properly introduced. We will file your enquiry along with our reply as well as entering the contact details you provided into our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, so we can find them again and properly manage our response to your enquiry.
We sometimes find contact details via public directories such as LinkedIn. We only contact people who would appear to have a business interest in our products.
We will assume that you remain interested in our products and services until you tell us otherwise and we may email or call you from time to time about the product you enquired about and related products. If you are no longer interested then just let us know by emailing us at [email protected] or selecting the “unsubscribe” option in any of our emails..
If you create an account on our website then the website “backend” will store sufficient information that it can recognise you when you return later. What your account does not store is any sort of payment details e.g. credit card payments. These are managed through a third party so your card details are entirely invisible to us and not stored anywhere on our systems.
If you are a user of our software then we need to know a little more about you to provide you with access to the software you have bought, to provide you with technical support and updates, and of course to be able to administer your account.
As a customer, as well as records in CRM, there will be separate records in our support system relating to any questions you may have asked and in our licencing system. The licence portal information will be relating to your company and not you as an individual.
And here is our formal policy… same stuff but a more formal format..
