Please take a moment to read our Privacy Policy as it describes what happens to the personal information (that is, information or an opinion about you (and or your child), whether true or not, which identifies you (and or your child) or from which yours or your child’s identity is reasonably identifiable) that is collected via our website at https://triplethreadlearning.com.au/privacy-policy.

  1. How we collect your personal information

We will collect and hold personal information in a fair and lawful manner, and not in an intrusive way.  Where it is reasonably practical to do so, we will collect personal information directly from you.  We may collect the personal information you directly give us through some of the following means:

  1. when you make an inquiry or order in relation to goods or services through our website located at https://triplethreadlearning.com.au/contact-us 
  2. in completing enrolment forms for our services;
  3. in administering and performing any contracts with service providers;
  4. when you contact us via telephone or facsimile;
  5. from correspondence (whether in writing or electronically);
  6. through any mobile applications provided by our organisation;
  7. while conducting customer satisfaction and market research and client feedback surveys;
  8. when providing any of our services at your home, other place of work or education (such as a school); and
  9. as otherwise required to manage our business.

However, in certain cases, we may collect personal information from publically available sources and third parties, such as our suppliers, government agencies, contractors, our clients,  business partners and other education, support and healthcare providers (such as teachers).

If we collect personal information about you or your child from a third party we will, where appropriate, request that the third party inform you that we are holding such information, advise you how we will use and disclose it, and that you may contact us to gain access to and correct and update the information.

  1. Types of personal information we collect

The type of personal information we may collect can include (but is not limited to), yours and your child’s name, postal address, email address, date of birth, phone numbers, billing information, education history and, if applicable, employment information.

We may also collect and hold sensitive information about you and or your child, including:

  1. health information (including information concerning health conditions and disabilities);
  2. your racial or ethnic origin;
  3. your religious beliefs or affiliations; and 
  4. genetic information.;

We only collect sensitive information about you or your child with your consent, or otherwise in accordance with the Privacy Act. Where you do not wish to provide us with personal information, we may not be able to provide you with requested services.

  1. Our purposes for handling your personal information

As a general rule, we only process personal information for purposes that would be considered relevant and reasonable in the circumstances.

We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information to:

  1. offer and provide you with our services;
  2. manage and administer those services, including account-keeping procedures;
  3. communicate with you, including (but not limited to), emailing you tax invoices and authorisations;
  4. comply with our legal and regulatory obligations; and
  5. otherwise to manage our business.

We will not use or disclose your personal information for any other purpose unless you have consented to that use or disclosure.

We may disclose personal information between our organisations, or to third parties such as our suppliers, organisations that provide us with technical and support services, or our professional advisors, where permitted by the Privacy Act.  If we disclose information to a third party, we generally require that the third party protect your information to the same extent that we do.

  1. Protection of personal information

We will hold personal information as either secure physical records, electronically on our intranet system, in cloud storage, and in some cases, records on third-party servers, which may be located overseas.

We maintain appropriate physical, procedural and technical security for our offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or modification of personal information.  This also applies to the disposal of personal information.

We further protect personal information by restricting access to personal information to only those who need access to the personal information do their job.  Physical, electronic and managerial procedures have been employed to safeguard the security and integrity of your personal information.

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.

  1. Direct marketing

Like most businesses, marketing is important to our continued success.  We believe we have a unique range of products and services that we provide to clients at a high standard.  We therefore like to stay in touch with clients and let them know about new opportunities.  We may provide you with information about new services and promotions either from us, or from third parties which may be of interest to you.

We will not disclose your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your consent. You may opt-out at any time if you no longer wish to receive commercial messages from us.  You can make this request by contacting our Privacy Officer.

  1. Cookies

A cookie is a small text file stored in your computer’s memory or on your hard disk for a pre-defined period of time.  We use cookies to identify specific machines in order to collect aggregate information on how visitors are experiencing the Website.  This information will help to better adapt the Website to suit personal requirements.  While cookies allow a computer to be identified, they do not permit any reference to a specific individual.  For information on the cookie settings of your internet browser, please refer to your browser’s manual.

  1. Accessing and correcting your personal information

You may contact our Privacy Officer to request access to the personal information that we hold about you and or your child 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 any of the personal information about you held by us.

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.

  1. Overseas transfers of personal information

As at the date of this Privacy Policy, we are not likely to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients. If in future we do propose to disclose personal information overseas, we will do so in compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Act.  We will, where practicable, advise you of the countries in which any overseas recipients are likely to be located.

If you do not want us to disclose your information to overseas recipients, please let us know.

However, from time to time we may 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.  However, by providing us with your personal information, you consent to the storage of such information on overseas servers and acknowledge that APP 8.1 will not apply to such disclosures. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an overseas recipient breaches the APPs, that entity will not be bound by, and you will not be able to seek redress under, the Privacy Act.
