We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our Site. We may also use advertising services to show relevant advertisements and measure their effectiveness.

Opting out of personalised advertising does not necessarily stop advertisements from appearing.
6. International processing
Holofex is based in Australia and uses service providers that may process or store information in other countries, including Canada and the United States.
Your information may therefore be transferred outside your country of residence. Where applicable law requires safeguards for these transfers, we take steps to ensure the required safeguards are in place.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including fulfilling orders, providing support, maintaining business records and meeting legal obligations.
Retention periods vary depending on the information and why it is held. If you request deletion, we may need to retain certain records to meet legal obligations or resolve outstanding matters.
8. Information security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. Please take care when sharing information online and keep any account credentials confidential.
