Privacy Policy

OCCYGEN, LLC recognizes the importance of your privacy and understands your concerns about the security of your personal information. We are committed to protecting any personal information about you that we hold. This privacy policy details how we generally manage your personal information and safeguard your privacy.

‘Personal information’ is any information or opinion, in any form, which identifies an individual or from which an individual’s identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained.

1. COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

The kinds of personal information we hold:

We gather online information from users/clients who subscribe to our services. This information may include particulars like name, parentage, address, email, fax, numbers, phone numbers and official designation. We only collect personal information that is necessary for us to perform our functions, to develop and promote our services and to assist us with complying with our legal and regulatory obligations.

The kinds of personal information we collect and hold will depend upon the services you request from us. However, it may include:

  • Information you give us when you instruct us to act for you or request another service from us (such as when you respond to an invitation to attend a seminar). This information will include your name, address and contact details;
  • Credit card and financial institution information for purchasing our services;
  • Information about individuals we collect in the course of performing services; and
  • Communications between us and you

We also collect some information from you when you use our website. Your use of the facilities and services available through our website, including electronic transaction platforms (Paypal, credit card processing through merchant services) will determine the amount and type of information which we collect about you. Some of this information will not be personal information because it will not reveal your identity.

The only personal information which we collect about you when you use our website is what you tell us about yourself, for example, by completing an online form when you accept an invitation to attend a seminar, when you provide financial information for the purpose of purchasing our services or booking a seminar, or information you provide to us when you send us an email. We will record your email address if you send us an email.

2. OUR USE OF COOKIES

When you visit our website, our server attaches a small data file called a “cookie” to your computer’s memory.

We use cookies to provide us with aggregate (anonymous) information on how people use our website and to help us to know what they find interesting and useful on our website. We do not link this information back to your identity or other information that you have provided to us. We do not store any information that identifies you inside cookies.

3. COLLECTION OF ANONYMOUS INFORMATION

  • Internet Provider

  • Pages accessed and the documents downloaded
  • Search items entered
  • Referring URLs (universal locators)

4. THE WAY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

While in most instances we will collect information directly from the person to whom the information relates, we may require you to provide us with information about third parties.

Accordingly, we may also collect information about you from a third party. When we obtain personal and other information from third parties whom we are referred to by you, we will assume and you will ensure that you have made that third party aware that you have referred us to them and of the purposes involved in the collection, use and disclosure of the relevant personal or other information.

If you supply us with information about another person, you should ensure that you are authorized to do so and you must agree to inform that person who we are, that we will use and disclose their personal information as outlined in our Privacy Policy from time to time and that they may gain access to it should we hold that information.

If you do not provide us with your personal information, or you do not consent to us using your personal information as outlined in the Privacy Policy, it may not be possible for us to provide you with the services you request.

5. USING AND DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The purposes for which we collect and hold personal information and how we use it. Any personal information which we collect about you will be used and disclosed by us so that we can provide you with the services that you have requested, or otherwise to enable us to carry out our functions as professional service providers and seeking to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We may determine that it is necessary for us to conduct further searches and enquiries regarding the information you have provided us or more generally concerning you or your associates for our regulatory or prudential purposes. This may entail using some or all of the collected information to collect additional information concerning you or your associates (including personal information in the respect of individuals) from various other entities including, but not limited to, government agencies, law enforcement bodies, publicly available records, public registries, court or tribunal records, ratings agencies, search and credit reporting agencies, and regulatory and licensing bodies.

We may also use your personal information to provide you with information about other services offered by us (such as seminars). If you would prefer not to receive this information, please let us know and we will respect your request.

6. CONTRACTING OUT SERVICES

We may disclose your personal information to our service entities and contract out some of our functions (such as mailing) to external service providers. We may disclose your personal information to these external service providers but only so that they can provide the services that we have contracted out to them.

7. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

10. SENSETIVE INFORMATION

We will only collect your sensitive information if:

11. ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In most cases, you can gain access to personal information that we hold about you. We encourage all requests for access to your personal information to be directed to the Privacy Officer by email or by writing to the address below.

We will deal with all requests for access to personal information as quickly as possible. Requests for a large amount of information, or information which is not currently in use, may require further time before a response can be given. In some cases, we may refuse to give you access to personal information we hold about you. This includes circumstances where giving you access:

  • Would be unlawful
  • Would have an unreasonable impact on other people’s privacy
  • Would prejudice negotiations we are having with you
  • Would prejudice an investigation of unlawful activity
  • Would prejudice activities carried out by, or for, a law enforcement agency

If we refuse to give you access we will provide you with reasons for our refusal.

If we disagree with your view about the accuracy, completeness or currency of a record of your personal information held by us, and you ask us to associate with that record a statement that you have a contrary view; we will take reasonable steps to do so.
