At OnAsia Images we respect the sanctity of your privacy. The privacy policy statement set out below outlines what type of information we will collect from you, why we collect this information and how it can and cannot be used by us.

PERSONAL DETAILS

When you initially access our site, we are happy to allow searching and browsing without any registration.

If you would like to take advantage of our advanced search facility, our lightbox, our price calculator or our shopping cart features, we will ask you for some basic registration information including your full name, your company name, your e-mail address and your position within the company. You will also be asked to create a personal user name and a password. This information allows us to provide a more personalised service while building a greater understanding of our client base to better serve you.

If you try and purchase a photograph or wish to open an account with us, we will ask you for more detailed information. This includes your mailing address, your billing address, telephone, fax and e-mail contacts as well as the name and contact details of the person(s) responsible (if different from the user) for ensuring payment on receipt of our invoice.

We absolutely need to communicate with you via e-mail so that we can send you your password and username confirmation as well as confirmation of your purchases.

If you choose to make a purchase using a credit card, in addition to the above information we will also require your credit card number and your card expiry date. For the order to be successfully processed your billing address will need to match that of your credit card. OnAsia Images does not store credit card information in our system. You will have to re-enter credit card details for each purchase.

These encryption methods are the same as those used by banks or financial institutions to protect their transactions.
