PRIVACY POLICY

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our clients and extended community. This Privacy Policy explains how we do this. When you access and use our site or services, this indicates that you accept this policy, and in doing so, consent to the collection, use and distribution of information, whether provided to us via our website, through an event or consulting service, or by a third party. It also outlines how we manage and gives you access to this information.

Collection of information

We will only collect personal information from you that we reasonably require for our events, activities, products or services, and will do so in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

The kinds of information we collect will depend on what type of interaction you have with us, which may include any of the following:

  • Participating in a promotional activity, survey or market research;

  • Subscribing to our mailing list or interacting with us through our social media pages;

  • Attending one of our events or learning programs;

  • Participating in our consulting services;

  • Participating in interviews and focus groups;

  • Client engagement;

  • Completion of evaluation surveys;

When you visit our website, certain information is collected using various technologies such as cookies, internet tags and navigational data. Unless you are accessing our site or services through links sent specifically to you, this information is generally not linked to the identity of our visitors. The type of information we collect may include the date, time and duration of visits, and which pages of our website are most commonly accessed.

What is personal information?

Personal information is any piece of information that relates to a living, identifiable human being.  People’s names, contact details, date of birth, job role, purchase records, individual preferences: anything that you can look at and say “this is about an identifiable person”.

We will not collect sensitive information from you unless you voluntarily provide it. By voluntarily providing your sensitive information, you consent to our collection and use of this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

How we store your personal information

Where we store your personal information depends on what type of interaction you have had with us and may include manual or electronic databases.

We take all reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, loss, interference and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Unfortunately the internet is not secure so any information you send to us via the internet is done so at your own risk. This includes information provided to us through our website, payments and third party sites.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is required for the purpose it was collected, or if we are required by law to retain it. When there is no longer a need to retain the information, we will take the appropriate measures to either destroy or de-identify it.

How we use your personal information

The information we collect from you will be used to help us provide products, services, and events to you, which include among other things;

  • Processing payments via electronic systems, providing you with email or SMS confirmation of your booking or payment, providing you with our products and processing refunds where applicable;

  • Administering and responding to your enquiry or feedback about our products, services or events;

  • Conducting, and allowing you to participate in, a promotional activity, survey or market research;

  • Promoting and marketing current and future products and services to you, informing you of upcoming events and offers and analysing our products, services and events so as to develop and improve them;

  • Facilitating our internal business operations, including fulfilment of any legal and regulatory requirements;

  • Improving the operation and navigation of our website;

We may use your personal information for purposes not listed above, or for purposes required by law, but we will make this clear to you at the time of collection.

Disclosure of personal information

Third Party

When we are unable to administer a service internally, such as workshop bookings or webinar services, we may contract third party service providers to provide services such as:

  • Conducting surveys, soliciting payments and managing databases;

  • Registering participants for deliveries of services such as call conferencing.

Third party providers are chosen for their capacity to deliver quality services and we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information being transferred will not be held, used, or disclosed in a manner not in line with the Australian Privacy Principles. Note however, that we will not disclose your personal information to anyone else for marketing purposes.

Legal

It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary. We recognise our obligation to protect your privacy and as such we will judge each legal request on its own merit.

If appropriate, we will always attempt to notify you in these instances, unless the law or a court order prohibits us from doing so.

Access to personal information

You can ask us to access your personal information or to change it at any time. To do so, please alert us via the contact form below. We may ask you to provide proof of identity.
