3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We maintain strict control over your personal information and only share it in limited circumstances that serve your interests or meet legal requirements.

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party providers for essential services like email delivery, website hosting, and payment processing. These partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and can only use your data for specified purposes.

Legal Requirements

Australian privacy laws sometimes require us to disclose information to government agencies or law enforcement. We'll only do this when legally mandated and will notify you unless prohibited by law.

5. Data Security and Protection

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure.

Technical Safeguards

Our systems use industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage. We regularly update security protocols and conduct vulnerability assessments to stay ahead of potential threats.

Access Controls

Only authorized team members can access personal information, and they receive regular privacy training. We maintain detailed logs of who accesses what data and when.

If a security incident occurs, we'll notify affected individuals within 72 hours and take immediate steps to minimize any impact. We also report breaches to Australian privacy authorities as required.

We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide services and meet legal obligations. Different types of data have different retention periods.

Educational Records

Course enrollment data and completion certificates are retained for seven years to support verification requests and comply with education regulations.

Marketing Communications

Email marketing data is deleted within two years of your last interaction with our content, unless you actively engage with our communications.

Website Analytics

Technical data like IP addresses and browsing patterns are automatically deleted after 26 months or anonymized for research purposes.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers operate outside Australia, which means your information might be processed in other countries with different privacy laws.

We only work with providers in countries that offer adequate privacy protections or have certified their compliance with international privacy frameworks. All transfers include contractual safeguards to maintain your privacy rights.
