Privacy Policy

Introduction and Scope

voranitholme ("we," "us," or "our") operates voranitholme.com and provides entrepreneurial skills education services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you interact with our platform, attend our courses, or engage with our educational content.

This policy applies to all users of our services, including prospective students, enrolled participants, website visitors, and anyone who provides personal information to voranitholme. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices in accordance with Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Information We Collect

We collect various types of information to provide and improve our educational services. The information we collect falls into several categories, each serving specific purposes in delivering quality entrepreneurial education.

• Financial information for payment processing, including billing addresses and transaction details (payment card information is processed securely by third-party payment processors and is not stored on our servers)
• Demographic information such as age range, location, educational background, and professional experience to help us tailor our educational content
• Usage analytics including time spent on different course modules, completion rates, and interaction patterns to improve our educational delivery
• Social media information if you choose to connect your social media accounts or share our content through social platforms
• Information from surveys, testimonials, and feedback forms you voluntarily complete to help us enhance our services

How We Use Your Information

Your information enables us to provide personalized educational experiences and maintain the quality of our entrepreneurial skills programs. We use collected information for legitimate business purposes that directly benefit your learning journey.

We may also use aggregated, anonymized data for research purposes to understand learning patterns and improve educational methodologies. This anonymized information cannot be linked back to individual users and helps us contribute to broader educational research initiatives.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We maintain strict controls over who can access your personal information. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Information sharing occurs only in specific circumstances outlined below.

• Service providers who assist in course delivery, payment processing, technical support, and platform maintenance under strict confidentiality agreements
• Educational partners and guest instructors who contribute to specific courses, receiving only information necessary for their educational contributions
• Legal authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights and the safety of our users and community
• Business transfer scenarios where personal information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, with continued privacy protection obligations
• With your explicit consent for specific purposes such as testimonials, case studies, or promotional materials featuring your educational journey

Data Security and Protection

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security framework includes both technical and administrative safeguards designed to maintain data integrity and confidentiality.

While we employ industry-standard security measures, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We continuously update our security practices and promptly address any identified vulnerabilities. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by law.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy laws, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights and will respond to your requests within the timeframes required by law.

• Access: Request copies of your personal information we hold and information about how we process it
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information
• Erasure: Request deletion of your personal information where legally permissible
• Restriction: Request limitation of processing your personal information in certain circumstances
• Portability: Request transfer of your personal information to another service provider where technically feasible
• Objection: Object to processing of your personal information for direct marketing or other purposes based on legitimate interests
• Complaint: Lodge a complaint with us or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy. We may require verification of your identity before processing requests to protect your information from unauthorized access. Some requests may be subject to legal limitations or requirements to maintain certain records.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Our retention periods are based on the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.

When personal information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it according to our data destruction procedures. Some information may be retained in anonymized form for statistical and research purposes that cannot be linked back to individual users.

International Data Transfers

voranitholme operates primarily within Australia, but some of our service providers may be located overseas. When we transfer your personal information outside Australia, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights and comply with Australian privacy laws.

International transfers may occur to countries including the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions where our cloud hosting, payment processing, or educational technology partners operate. We only work with providers who demonstrate adequate privacy protections and enter into appropriate data processing agreements.

Before engaging any overseas service provider, we conduct due diligence to ensure they maintain privacy standards comparable to Australian requirements. You can contact us for specific information about which countries your personal information may be transferred to and the safeguards we have implemented.
