We believe in protecting your privacy while still delivering excellent educational services. Here's how we handle sharing your information with others.

We work with trusted third-party service providers who help us deliver our educational services:

• Payment processors for secure transaction handling
• Email service providers for course communications
• Cloud storage providers for secure data backup
• Learning management system providers for course delivery

We may disclose your information when required by Australian law or to protect our rights and the safety of our students and staff. This includes compliance with court orders, regulatory investigations, or other legal processes.

In the unlikely event that brontesylvia is sold or merged with another organisation, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you beforehand and ensure your privacy rights are protected.

Protecting your personal information is a top priority. We've implemented multiple layers of security to safeguard your data from unauthorised access, disclosure, or misuse.

• SSL encryption for all data transmission between your device and our servers
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
• Secure backup systems with encryption at rest
• Multi-factor authentication for staff accessing student records

• Comprehensive privacy training for all staff members
• Clear data handling policies and procedures
• Regular monitoring of data access and usage patterns
• Incident response procedures for potential data breaches

Under Australian privacy law, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We're committed to making it easy for you to exercise these rights.

You can request access to the personal information we hold about you at any time. If you find any errors or outdated information, we'll correct it promptly upon verification.

You have the right to receive your personal information in a commonly used, machine-readable format if you wish to transfer it to another service provider.

You can request deletion of your personal information, though we may need to retain certain records for legal or administrative purposes, such as course completion certificates.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails or contacting us directly.

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Here's our approach to data retention:

• Course Records: Maintained for 7 years after completion to support professional certification requirements
• Payment Information: Financial records kept for 7 years as required by Australian tax law
• Marketing Data: Removed within 2 years of last engagement unless you remain an active subscriber
• Technical Logs: Website usage logs automatically deleted after 13 months
• Support Communications: Customer service records retained for 3 years for quality assurance

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymise your personal information using industry-standard data destruction methods.

While brontesylvia operates primarily in Australia, some of our service providers may process your information outside Australia. When this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

• All international transfers comply with Australian Privacy Principles
• Service providers must meet equivalent privacy protection standards
• Contractual agreements ensure your data rights are maintained
• We regularly audit overseas service providers for compliance

Countries where your data may be processed include the United States (for cloud services) and the United Kingdom (for email services). These transfers are necessary for providing our educational services effectively.
