Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

When you engage with our courses and materials, we collect different types of information. Some you give us directly, some we gather as you use our platform.

Personal Details You Share

When you register for our financial analysis programs or reach out to us, you might provide:

• Your name and contact details (email address, phone number)
• Billing information when you enroll in paid courses
• Educational background and professional experience (optional)
• Communication preferences and course interests

Information We Collect Automatically

As you navigate through our learning platform, we gather technical data to improve your experience:

• Device information (browser type, operating system)
• IP address and general location data
• Pages visited and time spent on different sections
• Course progress and completion rates
• Search queries and interaction patterns

How We Use Your Information

We don't collect data just for the sake of it. Every piece of information serves a specific purpose in delivering better educational experiences.

Data Protection and Security

Protecting your information isn't just a legal requirement — it's fundamental to how we operate. We've implemented multiple layers of security to keep your data safe.

Technical Safeguards

• End-to-end encryption for all data transmission
• Secure servers hosted in Australian data centers
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Restricted access protocols for staff members
• Automated backup systems with encrypted storage

Administrative Measures

Our team receives ongoing training about data protection responsibilities. We maintain strict internal policies about who can access student information and under what circumstances.

Only authorized personnel directly involved in course administration or student support can view personal details. And even then, access is limited to what's necessary for their specific role.

Sharing Your Information

We keep your data within our organization whenever possible. But sometimes we need to work with trusted partners to deliver our educational services.

Service Providers We Work With

• Payment processors for secure transaction handling
• Email service providers for course communications
• Cloud hosting services for platform infrastructure
• Analytics tools to understand platform usage patterns

These partners are carefully selected and bound by strict confidentiality agreements. They can only use your data for the specific services they provide to us — nothing more.

Legal Requirements

In rare cases, we might need to disclose information if required by Australian law, court order, or to protect the safety of our students and staff. We'd only do this when legally obligated.

Your Privacy Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Privacy Amendment Act 2017, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. We've made it straightforward to exercise these rights.

Access and Correction

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you at any time. If you spot something incorrect or outdated, let us know and we'll update it promptly.

Data Portability

Want to take your learning data elsewhere? We can provide your course progress, certificates, and other educational records in a commonly used format.

Deletion Requests

You can ask us to delete your personal information, though we might need to retain certain records for legal or administrative purposes. We'll always explain what we can and can't delete, and why.

• Request access to your personal data
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Object to certain types of data processing
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications
• Request data deletion (subject to legal requirements)
• Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner

Cookies and Tracking

Like most educational platforms, we use cookies and similar technologies. But we're selective about what we track and why.

Essential Cookies

These keep the platform functioning properly — remembering you're logged in, maintaining your course progress, and ensuring secure access to materials. You can't opt out of these because they're necessary for the platform to work.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand how students navigate our platform and which learning materials are most helpful. This data is anonymized and helps us improve the educational experience for everyone.

Managing Cookie Preferences

You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect some platform features, but core learning functionality will still work.

Data Retention

We don't keep your information forever. Different types of data have different retention periods based on legal requirements and practical necessity.

When data reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete it using methods that make recovery impossible.

International Data Transfers

Your data primarily stays within Australia on servers located in Sydney and Melbourne. But some of our service providers operate globally, which might involve transferring data internationally.

When this happens, we ensure these transfers comply with Australian privacy laws. Our international partners must maintain security standards equivalent to what we provide here in Australia.

If you're accessing our platform from outside Australia, your data will be processed under Australian privacy laws, which offer strong protection standards.

Children's Privacy

Our financial statement analysis courses are designed for adults in professional or pre-professional contexts. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without parental consent.

If you're under 18 and interested in our programs, please have a parent or guardian contact us first. We'll work with them to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Changes to This Policy

Privacy regulations and our educational offerings evolve over time. When we update this policy, we'll post the changes here and notify active students by email if the changes significantly affect how we handle their information.

The "last updated" date at the top of this page shows when we most recently revised the policy. We recommend checking back periodically, especially if it's been a while since you last reviewed our privacy practices.

Continued use of our platform after policy updates means you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with changes, you can contact us to discuss concerns or request account closure.

Third-Party Links

Our learning materials sometimes reference external resources — financial databases, regulatory websites, industry publications. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites.

When you click a link leaving our platform, we encourage you to review that site's privacy policy. Different organizations have different approaches to data collection and use.
