To the extent this information does not constitute personal information, the Privacy Act is not applicable, and we may use this information for any lawful purpose.
Phonics Australia has made all reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised access to personal information, maintain data accuracy and ensure appropriate use of any personal information.

We generally use this information to report statistics, analyse trends, administer our services, diagnose problems, and to target and improve the quality of our products and services.
We generally advise that you do not publish or communicate personal information, or at least limit the personal information that you publish or communicate, to the public via our services, such as in any forums, blogs or anywhere that user generated content can be uploaded.

If you do not provide us with all or some of the information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services that you have requested.

You will be given the opportunity to "opt out" from receiving any electronic communications from us or from third parties that send you in accordance with the Privacy Act and other applicable privacy laws. For example, you will be given the option to unsubscribe to emails or newsletters sent by us.
We are fully committed to ensuring that any of your information is secure. In order to prevent any unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedure to safeguard and secure any online personal information we collect.
