Tell Touch Privacy Policy

We value privacy

At Tell Touch, we take the protection of personal information very seriously. This policy is designed to describe the personal information we collect, how we protect it and what we do with it.

From time to time, we may need to change this policy. If we do so, we will post the updated version on our website (at https://telltouch.com.au/privacy/) and it will apply to all of your information held by us at the time.

The information given to Tell Touch, may include your name, phone (mobile & or landline), and email address.

How do we hold and protect personal information?

We hold personal information electronically and with the assistance of our service providers.

We implement a range of measures to protect the security of personal information, including – depending on the circumstances – electronic access controls, premises security and network firewalls.

Our website at https://telltouch.com.au/, apps and portal all use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to keep your interactions secure and private. SSL is the industry standard for data encryption. It provides a secure link between your browser and our server and scrambles your personal information to ensure it is kept private during transmission over the internet.

We keep information for as long as it is required to be able to provide our services or to meet legal and regulatory requirements. If we no longer require personal information for any purpose, we will take steps to permanently de-identify or securely destroy it.
