Information Sharing and Disclosure

We believe in transparency regarding how your information may be shared. Generally, we do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, there are specific circumstances where we may share your data:

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our platform, processing payments, delivering educational content, and providing technical support. These providers have access only to the information necessary to perform their services and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information when required by Australian law, court orders, or government requests. This includes situations involving fraud prevention, security investigations, or compliance with regulatory requirements in the financial services sector.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the new entity. We will provide advance notice of any such transfer and ensure the receiving party maintains equivalent privacy protections.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian Privacy Law, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights and will respond to requests promptly.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy team using the details provided below. We will verify your identity and process your request within 30 days. There is no charge for most requests, though we may apply reasonable fees for excessive or repetitive requests.

Data Security and Retention

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework includes both technical and organizational measures designed to safeguard your data.

Security Measures

• Industry-standard encryption for data transmission and storage

Data Retention

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

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize your information using industry-standard data destruction methods. Some information may be retained in anonymized form for statistical analysis and service improvement purposes.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily operate within Australia, some of our service providers may process data internationally. When we transfer personal information outside Australia, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data according to Australian Privacy Principles.

These safeguards include contractual provisions requiring overseas recipients to handle data with equivalent protection standards, regular audits of international partners, and compliance with cross-border privacy requirements. We maintain records of all international transfers and the safeguards applied.
