• Personal details you provide through forms (name, contact details, and optional demographic information).

• Feedback, queries, or suggestions you submit via our contact page or survey tools.
• Usage data, including which resources you access and how often, for site improvement.

How We Use Your Data

Your data supports resource updates, user enquiries, and site functionality.

• To respond to your questions, suggestions, and requests.
• To update, improve, and tailor resources based on how users interact with the site.

Legal Basis for Collection

We only collect personal data needed for site operation or your direct enquiry.

Data processing relies on user consent, legitimate interests (like site improvement or responding to messages), or legal requirements as outlined by Australian law.

Sharing Your Data

We do not sell your data. Any sharing is limited and only as outlined below.

• With trusted service providers for technical, security, or analytics services, always with strict confidentiality.
• If required by law or to protect site integrity.
• In the event of a significant business change, you will be notified before data is transferred.

Keeping Data Secure

We use standard security technology and restrict access to personal data. Regular site reviews and technical safeguards minimise risks of unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Absolute security, however, cannot be guaranteed online.

Your Privacy Rights

Learn more about your options for accessing, updating, or deleting personal data.

• Request a copy of your data or ask that it be corrected if inaccurate.
• Withdraw consent for non-essential processing at any time.
• Request deletion or restriction of information where allowed by law.
