Offshore Operations & Data Handling
As an international outsourcing provider, OLYX International operates across Australia and Nepal. We take reasonable steps to ensure offshore employees, contractors, and service providers follow strict confidentiality and data protection requirements. Our offshore operations may include:

- Supervised operational procedures
We aim to maintain security standards consistent with our operational and client requirements.
Access Control
Access to sensitive information is limited to authorised personnel who require access to perform their duties. We apply the principle of least privilege wherever practical, meaning team members are only granted access necessary for their role. User access may be reviewed periodically and removed when no longer required.
Client Confidentiality
OLYX International treats all client information as confidential. Employees, contractors, and service providers are expected to:
- Maintain confidentiality of client information
- Follow company security procedures
- Use company systems responsibly
- Report any suspected security concerns immediately
Unauthorised disclosure or misuse of confidential information may result in disciplinary action or termination of engagement.
Data Retention & Disposal
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Deliver services
- Meet contractual obligations
- Comply with legal or regulatory requirements
- Resolve disputes or enforce agreements
When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy, delete, or de-identify data.
Third-Party Providers
We may use third-party technology providers, cloud platforms, software systems, and business service providers to support our operations. Where third parties are engaged, we take reasonable steps to work with providers that maintain appropriate security and confidentiality standards. However, OLYX International cannot guarantee the security practices of independent third-party providers.
Website Security
Our website may use security technologies and monitoring tools to help protect website users and systems. These measures may include:
- Secure hosting environments
- SSL encryption
- Firewall protection
- Traffic monitoring
- Security plugins and updates
- Spam and malware protection
While we take reasonable steps to protect our website, users acknowledge that no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure.
Cybersecurity Incident Response
OLYX International takes cybersecurity incidents seriously. In the event of a suspected or confirmed security incident, we may:
- Investigate the incident
- Restrict or suspend affected systems
- Engage cybersecurity specialists where necessary
- Notify affected parties where legally required
- Implement remediation measures to reduce future risk
Employee & Contractor Responsibilities
All employees, contractors, and offshore staff are expected to:
- Follow company security procedures
- Protect passwords and login credentials
- Use approved systems and devices
- Avoid unauthorised sharing of information
- Report suspicious activity or security concerns promptly
Failure to comply with security requirements may result in disciplinary action.
Limitation of Liability
While OLYX International takes reasonable steps to protect information and maintain secure systems, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed as completely secure. To the extent permitted by law, OLYX International does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free security and is not liable for unauthorised access caused by factors outside our reasonable control.

We may update this Data Security Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or technological changes. Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
