Your privacy is very important to The Oyster Shed and we will always act to protect your personal information. We take this responsibility seriously and are vigilant about how and when your personal information is collected, used and shared.
This statement outlines our commitment to privacy, why we need to collect personal information from you, who we may share that information with and how you may access the privacy information that we hold.

 

WHO WE ARE

The Oyster Shed is a trading name of Australian owned company Perfectour Pty Ltd.

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

 

OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

We will always handle your personal information securely and carefully.  We will only request and/or retain information relevant to delivering our services to you. Unless first obtaining your specific consent, we will not use your information for purposes unrelated to the services we provide.

 

WHAT WE COLLECT

The type of information we collect is dependent on the interaction you have with us.   Information we collect can include:  your name, email address, post code, mobile phone number, mailing address, and credit card information.   Sometimes – through third party entities such as Google and Facebook – we may also collect other information, such as your gender, date of birth, occupation, so that we can improve our service and product offering to you.   We do not store your credit card details in any way.

 

HOW WE COLLECT IT

We collect information from you when you book online, fill out a form, respond to a survey, enter a competition, redeem a voucher, join our subscription membership, submit an enquiry, provide feedback to us, or interact via social media platforms. Where we wish to collect personal information about you via our website, we will expressly ask you for that personal information and explain the purpose for which we are requesting the information (e.g. to add you to a mailing list).  

 

WHY WE COLLECT IT

We collect information for a number of reasons, including to: deliver and improve the products and services that we offer you, to complete other transactions with you or on your behalf, to protect against fraud or theft, to provide offers and promotions that are of interest or benefit to you, and to generally provide you with a premium customer experience. We will only collect personal information that is necessary for our functions and activities.

 

WHO WE SHARE IT WITH

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
