At Small Giants Academy we are committed to ensuring the privacy of our community is well protected. Whilst Small Giants Academy is not bound by the Australian Privacy Principles, we have developed a privacy policy which aims to achieve these standards to ensure your information is protected. When you access and use our site, this indicates you accept this policy and, in doing so, consent to the collection, use and distribution of information as described below.
Overtime the terms of the policy may change (when they do, we will change the date of the policy) and your use of the website tells us that you accept these changes. We recommend that you regularly review our privacy policy.
The content below is organised as follows:
Personal information is any information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
Sensitive information is a form of personal information and it includes information about your race or ethnic origins, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, or details of health, disability or sexual activity or orientation. We will not generally collect sensitive information from you.
The types of information we collect include:
Small Giants Academy and its related entities are not responsible for any information you’ve provided in public areas of our site, which may then be collected by other users.
We do sometimes collect sensitive information about you. This information is only collected where you have voluntarily provided it to us, for example, through a response to a reader survey or through your posts or comments on our website. The purpose of collecting this information is to assist us in providing you with products and services you love. By voluntarily providing your sensitive information to us you have consented to our collection and use of your sensitive information in accordance with this policy.

Sometimes we might use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose that is, for use in a way that is different from the primary purpose. We will only do this where:
But, one thing’s for sure; we will not sell any information we collect about you.
And finally, we will not transfer personal information overseas unless:
· The transfer is necessary for the performance of the services between you and us in which case your consent is deemed to be given.

Where we no longer require your personal information for a permitted purpose and it is not required to be retained by law, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify it.
We have internal processes in place to deal with any data breaches. Where there has been unauthorised access or disclosure of personal information and this access is likely to result in serious harm, we will, as soon as practicable possible, investigate the matter in an attempt to mitigate any harm caused.
We will take reasonable steps to notify you if your information has been affected in this way.
