All data and personal information we receive, including metadata generated through your access or use of the website, may be used to deliver and improve these services.  We may use third party services or software in delivering the website to you, and disclose your data for this purpose.

For example, we use your contact details for billing purposes, to keep you informed of updates and changes to the website, and to provide technical support.

Use and Disclosure by Users

If you provide or make your personal information available to other users through the website, software or services, you do so at your own risk.  If any third party makes personal information available to you through the website, software or services, you must treat it as confidential, and use it only for the purpose it was provided.

Anonymity

You may interact with and use the website anonymously, however we require you to verify your identity to register and access any resources.

As you access the website, we collect and use temporary session data (cookies), which may include identifiers such as your IP address, to provide the website and services.

Authentication data used to log-in to our software and services may include personal information.  Access attempts are logged and stored securely with other client data.

Credit Card Data

We do not receive or store any credit card information. All payments are handled by a secure third party payment gateway.

Safety and Security of Personal Information

We and our employees, contractors and other authorised representatives will take all reasonable precautions to protect personal information from unauthorised access.  This includes appropriately securing our physical facilities and electronic networks.

We have a Privacy Officer who oversees the management of this Privacy Policy and compliance with privacy laws.  This officer may have other duties within our business and may also be assisted by internal and external contractors, professionals and advisors.

By accessing the website or using any part of the website requiring registration, you acknowledge that the security of online transactions and the security of communications sent by electronic means or by post cannot be guaranteed.  You provide information to us, including personal information, via the website (including via the online registration process, by signing up to our mailing list, and using the online contact form) at your own risk.  We cannot accept responsibility for misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, personal information where the security of information is not within our control.

By accessing the website or using any part of the website requiring registration, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of any third party (including third parties that we are permitted to disclose or transfer personal information to in accordance with the privacy policy or any applicable laws).  The collection and use of personal information by such third parties may be subject to separate privacy and security policies.

If you suspect any misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, your personal information, you should let us know immediately.

We are not liable for any loss, damage or claim arising out of another person’s use of your personal information.

Where personal information we hold is no longer necessary, we delete the information or permanently de-identify it, subject to specific laws in respect of data retention.

Security of Personal Information

We secure Personal Information that we collect by:

Credentials

Using authentication credentials for each portion of the data storage infrastructure that we control in accordance with best practice.

Password Encryption

Using specialised encryption algorithms and frameworks to store passwords and forcing one-way encryption to prevent reverse-engineering of these passwords.

Session Expiry

Forcing time-out of authentication sessions and requiring re-authentication to minimise risk associated with idle connections.

Firewalls

Using appropriate firewalls to secure the web server.

Network Traffic Encryption

Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to secure transmissions both to and from the data storage infrastructure.

Reputable Vendors

Ensuring that the third party providers holding data and information on our behalf are reputable vendors taking reasonable steps to secure the information.

Marketing

If you subscribe to our mailing list, or register as a user of our website, we may use your contact details to send you marketing materials.  You may opt-out at any time by notice by email to hello@readilearn.com.au, or through the unsubscribe link found in all marketing emails we send.

We use a third party system to manage our marketing campaigns, and we may disclose your contact details to our service providers for this purpose.  Our service providers are not permitted to sell, use or disclose your contact details or contact you for any other purpose unless required by law.

We may include third party offers in marketing materials we send to you.  We do not sell, trade or rent your contact details or any other personal information to any third party.

Overseas Data Disclosure

Our software and services are supported by a number of third party service providers, including some located overseas in countries including the United States of America.  For example, our website incorporates third party software hosted in the United States of America, and we use the services of Google Analytics, MailChimp, and PayPal, which are all located in the United States of America.

Where appropriate, all of our overseas service providers are bound by contractual obligations of confidentiality.
