Effective Date: 1 November 2023

Welcome to OC Resource Centre! We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit our website.

Who we are:

Our website address is: https://ocresourcecentre.com.au.

Disclaimer:

The content on this website is intended for informational purposes only and are comments from the author and should not be construed as legal or any other form of advice. Users should seek independent legal advice for specific concerns or issues. We are not responsible for the use of any information provided on this website.

Information We Collect:

• Personal Information: We may collect personal information, such as your name and email address, when you voluntarily provide it to us through forms or other means.

• Log Data: Like many websites, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site. This may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and other statistics.

How We Use Your Information:

We use the information we collect to:
• Improve Our Services: We analyse user behaviour to enhance our website’s content and functionality.
• Communicate with You: If you provide your email address, we may use it to send you updates, newsletters, or respond to your inquiries.

Third-Party Links:

Our website may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content or practices of these sites and are not responsible for their privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Security:

We take reasonable measures to protect your information; however, no online method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

Your Choices:

You can opt-out of receiving emails from us by following the instructions in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Changes to This Policy:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page.

Comments:

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media:

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies:

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites:

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with:

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data:

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data:

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent:

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at support@ocresourcecentre.com.au.

By using OC Resource Centre, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms and conditions. Thank you for visiting our website!
