For OCT’s legitimate business purposes, including: to provide our services and to protect the integrity and security of our website; to improve the level of our service and user experience of our website by making it more accessible and user friendly and to create content more relevant to you; to enforce our Terms and Conditions and our rights; and to consider your application for employment.
To meet our legal obligations, for example: for accounting and tax purposes; and to respond to requests for information by competent public bodies and judicial authorities.
On the basis of your consent: to respond to your requests for information; for the use of your e-mail address or telephone number in connection with the marketing of our products and services; and the use of certain cookies and similar technologies, as explained below.

What information do we collect?

In general, you can use our website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, we collect technical information, such as an IP address and browser information in order to make a connection and display our website. Similar to many other websites on the Internet, we may collect data about the pages that you view on the website or record the options that you chose to select. The information collected does not directly identify you but may be helpful to us, for example, to improve the services we offer and to maintain the security of our website.

There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name and address, for example, when you fill out a form to request information about our products and services. On those occasions, we may provide you with additional information and choices about our intended use of your personal information. We may collect details of interactions with us, such as what enquiries you have made, topics discussed, what material we have provided to you, and similar information. We may also collect your communication preferences, such as whether or not you wish to receive commercial e-mails.

Where do we store this personal information and for how long?

We store personal information in secure databases and systems under our control and with service providers acting on our behalf. We will only hold your data for as long as is reasonably needed for each purpose in accordance with any applicable legal, ethical reporting or documentation retention requirements.
