2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide you with educational services and improve your learning experience. Here's a straightforward breakdown of how we actually use your data:

3. Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law

The Australian Privacy Act 1988 gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. We take these obligations seriously and have established clear processes for you to exercise these rights.

1. Access Your Information: You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We'll provide this within 30 days of your request.
2. Correct Inaccurate Data: If any information we hold is incorrect or outdated, you can ask us to update it immediately.
3. Request Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal information, subject to certain legal requirements we must meet.
4. Opt Out of Marketing: You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time using the link in every message we send.
5. Lodge a Complaint: If you're concerned about how we've handled your data, you can contact us directly or file a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page. We'll respond to all requests within the timeframes required by Australian law.

4. Data Storage and Security

We store your information on secure servers located in Australia. Our systems use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Security Measures

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted to and from our website
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
• Secure backup systems with encrypted storage
• Staff training on data protection and privacy obligations

While we implement robust security measures, no system is completely impenetrable. If we become aware of any data breach that might affect you, we'll notify you promptly as required by Australian law.

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. Course enrollment records are typically retained for seven years to comply with educational and financial record-keeping requirements. Marketing preferences are stored until you opt out or request deletion.

5. Sharing Your Information

We share your information only in specific circumstances and never for purposes unrelated to your education or our legitimate business needs.

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party providers who help us deliver our educational services. These include payment processors, email service providers, and learning management system vendors. All these providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the specific services they provide to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by Australian law, court order, or to protect our legal rights. This might include responding to subpoenas or cooperating with law enforcement investigations.
