蜜桃视频 makes reasonable efforts to be satisfied about the protection and security of any personal information processed and stored in the cloud. 蜜桃视频 will endeavour to ensure they will be located in countries which have substantially similar protections as the Australian Privacy Principles.

Sending and storing information overseas

蜜桃视频 will not send personal information about an individual outside Australia without:

• your consent (in some cases this consent will be implied)
• otherwise complying with the Australian Privacy Principles or other applicable privacy legislation.

蜜桃视频 is likely to only disclose personal information to overseas recipients if it is directly relevant to an overseas trip or excursion being undertaken by students and then only with the consent of the individual concerned (in which consent may be implied). It is not practicable to specify in this policy the countries in which the recipients of such information are likely to be located.

How does 蜜桃视频 treat sensitive information?

Sensitive information includes a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, religion, trade union or other professional or trade association membership, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation or criminal record. 蜜桃视频 will only collect information of this nature if it is reasonably necessary for its functions and activities and you consent, or it is lawfully authorised or obliged to collect such information.

Sensitive information will be used and disclosed by 蜜桃视频 only for the purpose for which it was provided, or a directly related secondary purpose, unless you agree otherwise, or the use or disclosure of the sensitive information is allowed by law.

Failure to provide personal information to 蜜桃视频

The main consequences for an individual if all or some of the personal information required by 蜜桃视频 is not provided to it, or cannot be collected, include:

• in relation to students and parents, 蜜桃视频 may not be able to fully consider and assess an application for enrolment or continue a student’s enrolment, or it may not be able to provide the educational services that the student requires, including in relation to the student’s wellbeing, or properly discharge its duty of care to the student if relevant health or medical information is not disclosed to 蜜桃视频
• in relation to prospective employees, volunteers and contractors, 蜜桃视频 may not be able to fully assess the person’s suitability for employment or engagement by 蜜桃视频 or be able to continue to do so.

Management and security of personal information

蜜桃视频 staff are required to respect the confidentiality of students’ and parents’ personal information and the privacy of individuals.

蜜桃视频 has various methods in place to protect the personal information it holds from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These include, but are not limited to, locked storage of paper records, access protocols, password-protected computer records, high- level security measures and encryption.

蜜桃视频 will also respond to any incidents which may affect the security of the personal information it holds. If 蜜桃视频 assesses that anyone whose information is affected by such a breach is likely to suffer serious harm as a result, we will notify them and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner of the breach.

If you believe any of your personal information has been compromised by 蜜桃视频, please let 蜜桃视频 know immediately.

Access and correction of personal information

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic.), an individual has the right to obtain access to any personal information which 蜜桃视频 holds about them and may request correction of the information. There are some exceptions to the access right set out in the applicable legislation. Students will generally be able to access and update their personal information through their parents, but older students may seek access and correction themselves.

To make a request to access or update any personal information 蜜桃视频 holds about you or your child, please refer to the contact details below.

蜜桃视频 may require you to verify your identity and specify what information you are seeking. 蜜桃视频 may charge a fee to cover the cost of verifying your application and locating, retrieving, reviewing and copying any material requested. If the information sought is extensive, 蜜桃视频 will advise the likely cost in advance. If 蜜桃视频 cannot provide you with access to that information, you will be provided with a written notice explaining the reasons for refusal.

Consent and rights of access to the personal information of students

蜜桃视频 respects every parent’s right to make decisions concerning their child’s education. Generally, 蜜桃视频 will refer any requests for consent and notices in relation to the personal information of a student to the student’s parents. 蜜桃视频 will treat consent given by parents as consent given on behalf of the student, and notice to parents will act as notice given to the student.

While parents may seek access to personal information held by 蜜桃视频 about them or their child by contacting the 蜜桃视频 Privacy Officer (see contact details below), there will be occasions when access is denied. Such occasions would include where release of the information would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, or where the release may result in a breach of 蜜桃视频’ duty of care to a staff member or student.

蜜桃视频 may, at its discretion, on the request of a student, grant that student access to information held by 蜜桃视频 about them, or allow a student to give or withhold consent to the use of their personal information, independently of their parents. Normally, this would only be done when the maturity of the student and/or the student’s personal circumstances warrant it.

What happens when we no longer need your information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as needed for our purposes, or to comply with a law that requires some information to be retained for certain periods of time. When we no longer require your information, we’ll ensure that your information is destroyed or de-identified.

However, 蜜桃视频 will retain certain records as part of an archival record of its schools/services, its former students, staff and the school/service communities for historic purposes.

Exception in relation to employee records

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles do not apply to an employee record. As a result, this Privacy Policy does not apply to 蜜桃视频’ treatment of employee records unless required by law or organisational policy where the treatment is directly related to a current or former employment relationship between 蜜桃视频 and the employee. 蜜桃视频 handles staff health records in accordance with the Health Privacy Principles in the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic.).
