In addition to the types of personal information identified above, we may collect personal information as otherwise permitted or required by law.
If you do not provide personal information that we request, it may mean that we are unable to provide you with the products or customer services you have requested or consider you for the role you have applied for.
2. For what purposes do we handle your personal information
As a general rule, we only collect, use and process personal information for purposes that would be considered relevant and reasonable in the circumstances. The purposes for which we use and disclose your personal information will depend on the circumstances in which we collect it.
Whenever practical we endeavour to inform you why we are collecting your personal information, how we intend to use that information and to whom we intend to disclose it at the time we collect your personal information.

4. Disclosure of personal information
We will treat all your personal information as private and confidential (even when you are no longer a customer). We may disclose your personal information to third parties in connection with the purposes described in section 2 of this Privacy Policy. This may include disclosing your personal information to the following types of third parties:
● Our third party service providers. These may include for example:
o Our courses are hosted by Learnworlds, Inc (Learnworlds) and Wix.com, Inc (Wix). They provide us with the online course creation platform that allow us to deliver and sell our products and services to you. Your data is stored through LearnWorlds’ and Wix data storage, databases and the general Learnworld’s and Wix applications. You can learn more about: (i) Learnworlds and read its privacy policy at https://www.learnworlds.com/privacy-policy/; (ii) Wix and read its privacy policy at https://www.wix.com/about/privacy
o We use Stripe for payment, analytics, and other business services. Stripe collects identifying information about the devices that connect to its services. Stripe uses this information to operate and improve the services it provides to us, including for fraud detection. You can learn more about Stripe and read its privacy policy at www.stripe.com/privacy;

● Third parties where we have a duty to or are permitted to disclose your personal information by law (e.g., government agencies, law enforcement, courts and other public authorities);
● Third parties where reasonably required to protect our rights, customers, systems and services (e.g. legal counsel, accountants, insurers, auditors, and information security professionals and other professional advisors);
● our related entities (who may use and disclose the information in the same manner we can);
● in the unlikely event that we or our assets may be acquired or considered for acquisition by a third party, that third party and its advisors; and
● any third parties to whom you have directed or permitted us to disclose your personal information (e.g. referees).
Before we disclose personal information to a third party, we take steps to ensure that the third party will protect personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws and in a manner consistent with this policy.
Sometimes the third party will be located outside of Australia, in which case see below for more information.
5. External links and social media sites
This website and our services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share information about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms are subject to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies of those social media platforms.
This website may use social sharing buttons which help share web content directly from our web pages to the social media platform in question. Where you use such social sharing buttons you do so at your own discretion. You should note that the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media platform account. Please note these social media platforms have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal information to these social media platforms.
6. Where we store personal information
Some of the third parties to whom we disclose personal information are located outside Australia. The countries in which such third party recipients are located depend on the circumstances. In the ordinary course of business we commonly disclose personal information to recipients located in the United Kingdom, Cypress, United States and New Zealand.
From time to time we may also engage an overseas recipient to provide services to us, such as cloud-based storage solutions. Please note that the use of overseas service providers to store personal information will not always involve a disclosure of personal information to that overseas provider.
Countries outside Australia where personal information relating to you may be stored and/or processed, or where recipients of personal information relating to you may be located, may have privacy and data protection laws which differ to those under the Privacy Act. By providing your personal information to us, you:
● accept that personal information relating to you may be transferred, stored or processed in this way. We take measures to ensure that any international transfer of information is managed carefully and in accordance with applicable data protection laws; and
● consent to us disclosing your personal information to any such overseas recipients for purposes reasonably in the course of operating our business, and agree that APP 8.1 will not apply to such disclosures. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an overseas recipient breaches the APP's, that entity will not be bound by, and you will not be able to seek redress under, the Privacy Act.
7. Changes of Business Ownership and Control
We may, from time to time, expand, reduce or sell our business, and this may involve the transfer of certain divisions or the whole business to other parties. Personal information relating to you will, where it is relevant to any division so transferred, be transferred along with that division to prospective buyers and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use personal information relating to you for the purposes.
8. Security and data retention
Security
The security of personal information received from or about you is a high priority. We take such steps as are reasonable to store personal information regarding you so that it is protected from unauthorised use or access, misuse, loss, modification or unauthorised disclosure. We only use third party service providers whom we are satisfied look after personal information securely and in accordance with privacy laws. This includes both physical and electronic security measures. Examples include:
● storing information on secured networks consistent with industry standards, which are only accessible by those employees who have special access rights to such systems;
● using industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring or receiving personal data, such as SSL technology;
● the use of two factor authentication on accounts with access to data;
● adherence to PCI standards by our payment service providers;
● restrictions are placed on the electronic transfer of files;
● our IT networks undergo regular necessary vulnerability testing to identify and remedy potential opportunities for unauthorised data access; and
● robust management of boundary firewalls, access controls, malware protection and patch release processes towards protecting customer data.
Destruction of records
We will destroy or de-identify personal information once it is no longer needed for a valid purpose or required to be kept by law.
9. Access and correcting your personal information
You may contact our Privacy Department (see the contact details section at the start of this Privacy Policy) to request access to the personal information that we hold about you and/or to make corrections to that information, at any time. On the rare occasions when we refuse access, we will provide you with a written notice stating our reasons for refusing access. We may seek to recover from you reasonable costs incurred for providing you with access to the personal information we hold about you.
We are not obliged to correct any of your personal information if we do not agree that it requires correction and may refuse to do so. If we refuse a correction request, we will provide you with a written notice stating our reasons for refusing.
We will respond to all requests for access to or correction of personal information within a reasonable time.
We ask that you contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate.
