This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.oceanworks.co.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Oceanworks uses cookies according to the new Electronic Communications Act, which came into force on 25 July 2003. A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer that contains information that helps the website to identify and track the visitor. Cookies do no harm to your computer, consist only of text, can not contain viruses and occupies virtually no space on your hard drive. There are two types of cookies: "Session Cookies" and cookies that are saved permanently on your computer.
The first type of cookie commonly used is "Session Cookies". During the time you visit the website, our web server assigns your browser a unique identifier string so as not to confuse you with other visitors. A "Session Cookie" is never stored permanently on your computer and disappears when you close your browser. To use Oceanworks without troubles you need to have cookies enabled.
The second type of cookie saves a file permanently on your computer. This type of cookie is used to track how visitors move around on the website. This is only used to offer visitors better services and support. The text files can be deleted. On Oceanworks we use this type of cookie to keep track of your shopping cart and to keep statistics of our visitors. The information stored on your computer is only a unique number, without any connection to personal information.
Additionally when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the website, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”.
The personal information you provide will be used to ensure deliveries to you, to provide offers and information in our newsletter. The information you provide is only available to Oceanworks and will not be shared with other third parties. You have the right to inspect the information held about you. You always have the right to request Oceanworks to delete or correct the information held about you. By accepting the Oceanworks Conditions, you agree to the above.
