The information we collect

When you make an on-line course enrolment via the Perth Institute web site, we need to collect information about you to register you in our courses. This information includes, but is not limited to, details such as your name, your contact details (email, phone, fax) and your credit card details. When you submit a request via our email enquiry forms, we also collect your name and email so that we may respond to your request or query as quickly as possible.

How we use the information

When you submit an on-line enrolment form, we use the collected information in several ways:

• Personal identification and verification
• To complete your course enrolment
• To allow us to contact you for further information, if required

Our commitment to data security

In addition, your email address will be used to send you an email message confirming your enrolment with a student identification number. As a Perth Institute student, you will occasionally receive updates from us about employment opportunities, newsletters and any noteworthy changes to our courses. However, you may always unsubscribe from receiving these email messages. Please send us an email to notify us.

We disclose your information to third parties (such as government agencies or potential employers) only for the purpose of assisting our students to fill suitable employment. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Unless otherwise prohibited by law or our contractual obligations, we may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, or as requested by a governmental or law enforcement authority, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable. Such situations may include: to perform, maintain or enforce contracts with our customers; to protect the rights or properties of Perth Institute, our business affiliates, our customers, or others; or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing, or who may be threatening to cause, interference with or damage to our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise; or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities.

Like most web sites, there is certain information we automatically track, including the URL that you just came from, the browser you are using and your IP address. This data is utilised to improve the services of Perth Institute and does not include any personally identifying information.

While being transmitted over the Internet, your credit card details are protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. Credit card details are only used to pay for the course enrolled at Perth Institute. These details are stored securely at all times, are not used for any other purpose and will never be provided to any unauthorised third parties.

How to contact us

This policy may be revised from time to time, as new features are added to the site or the legislation changes. Please check periodically for updates and additions. If you have any concerns or queries about the Internet Privacy Policy of Perth Institute or would like more information, please contact us on info@perthinstitute.com.au. We will attempt to respond to all reasonable concerns or inquiries within three business days of receipt.
