Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 July 2026Australian Training Academy operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, to provide you with a curated shopping and enrolment experience (the "Services"). Our Services are powered by Shopify, which enables us to deliver them to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, purchase from, or communicate with us. If there is a conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to the collection, processing, and disclosure of your personal information.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using or accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described here. It should be read together with our Terms & Conditions.
01Personal information we collect
When we use the term "personal information," we mean information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you or another person. It does not include information collected anonymously or de-identified so that it cannot identify or be reasonably linked to you. Depending on how you interact with the Services, where you live, and as permitted or required by law, we may collect or process the following categories — including inferences drawn from them:
- Contact details — your name, address, billing address, shipping address, phone number, and email address.
- Financial information — credit card, debit card and financial account numbers, payment card information, transaction details, form of payment, payment confirmation and other payment details.
- Account information — your username, password, security questions, preferences and settings.
- Transaction information — items you view, add to your cart or wishlist, or purchase, return, exchange or cancel, and your past transactions.
- Communications with us — information you include when contacting us, for example a customer support enquiry.
- Device information — details about your device, browser or network connection, your IP address, and other unique identifiers.
- Usage information — how and when you interact with or navigate the Services.
02Where this information comes from
- Directly from you — when you create an account, use the Services, communicate with us, or otherwise provide your personal information.
- Automatically — from your device when you use our Services, including through cookies and similar technologies.
- From our service providers — when we engage them to enable technology or process information on our behalf.
- From our partners or other third parties.
03How we use your information
Depending on how you interact with us and which Services you use, we may use your personal information to:
Provide, tailor and improve the Services
To perform our contract with you, process payments, fulfil orders, remember your preferences, send account notifications, manage purchases, returns and exchanges, create and maintain your account, arrange shipping, enable reviews, and create a customised experience — such as recommending products related to your interests.
Marketing and advertising
To send marketing and promotional communications by email, text message or post, and to show you online advertisements — including based on items you previously purchased or added to your cart and other activity on the Services.
Security and fraud prevention
To authenticate your account, provide a secure payment and shopping experience, detect and act on possible fraudulent, illegal, unsafe or malicious activity, protect public safety, and secure our Services. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials safe — we strongly recommend you never share your username, password or access details.
Communicating with you
To provide customer support, respond to you, deliver effective Services, and maintain our business relationship.
Legal reasons
To comply with applicable law or valid legal process — including requests from law enforcement or government agencies — to participate in litigation or civil discovery, and to enforce or investigate potential violations of our terms or policies.
04How we disclose information
In certain circumstances we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes, subject to this Privacy Policy:
- With Shopify, vendors and other third parties who perform services on our behalf — such as IT management, payment processing, data analytics, customer support, cloud storage, fulfilment and shipping.
- With business and marketing partners to provide marketing services and advertise to you. They use your information under their own privacy notices. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to direct us not to share information to show you targeted advertising based on your activity across different merchants and websites.
- When you direct, request or consent to disclosure to third parties — for example to ship products, or through social media widgets or login integrations.
- With our affiliates or otherwise within our corporate group.
- In connection with a business transaction such as a merger or bankruptcy, to comply with legal obligations, to enforce applicable terms, and to protect the Services and the rights of our users or others.
05Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify, which collects and processes personal information about your access to and use of the Services in order to provide and improve them. Information you submit will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify and third parties that may be located in countries other than where you reside. To help protect, grow and improve our business, we use certain Shopify enhanced features that incorporate data from your interactions with our store, other merchants and Shopify. For these features, Shopify is responsible for the processing of your personal information, including responding to requests to exercise your rights. Learn more via the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy, and depending on where you live, you may exercise certain rights through the Shopify Privacy Portal.
06Third-party websites and links
The Services may link to websites or platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites we do not control, review their privacy and security policies and terms. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, completeness or reliability of those sites. Information you share on public or third-party social platforms may be viewable by others without limitation on its use. Our inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement, except as disclosed on the Services.
07Children's data
The Services are not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of majority in your jurisdiction. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, contact us using the details below to request deletion. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we "share" or "sell" (as defined in applicable law) the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
08Security and retention
No security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." Information you send us may not be secure while in transit, so we recommend you do not use unsecure channels to send us sensitive or confidential information. How long we retain your personal information depends on factors such as whether we need it to maintain your account, provide Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our contracts and policies.
09Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights below. These rights are not absolute, may apply only in certain circumstances, and in some cases we may decline your request as permitted by law.
- Right to access / know — request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Right to delete — request that we delete personal information we maintain about you.
- Right to correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Right of portability — receive a copy of your personal information and, in certain circumstances, request its transfer to a third party.
- Managing communication preferences — opt out of promotional emails any time via the unsubscribe link. We may still send non-promotional emails about your account or orders.
You may exercise these rights where indicated on the Services or by contacting us below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them. We may need to verify your identity, and you may designate an authorised agent to make requests on your behalf (subject to proof of authorisation). We will respond within the timeframe required by law.
10Complaints
If you have complaints about how we process your personal information, contact us using the details below. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to appeal our decision or lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
11International transfers
We may transfer, store and process your personal information outside the country you live in. If we transfer personal information out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on recognised transfer mechanisms such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (or equivalent UK contracts), unless the transfer is to a country determined to provide an adequate level of protection.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised policy here, update the "Last updated" date, and provide notice as required by law.
