Privacy Policy

About the Policy

UniPress Australia has implemented this Privacy Policy to provide information in advance about what kinds of personal data we may collect or hold, and how we collect, hold, use and disclose that personal data. If you wish to make any inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy, you should contact our Privacy Officer via contact email.

Collection of personal data 

At all times we try to only collect the data we need for the function or activity we are carrying out.

We collect Personal data about you for our business functions and activities, to operate our business efficiently and to market our products and services for the benefit of our customers.

We may collect, hold and use your personal data:

• to identify and communicate with you
• to enable us to provide you with the requested information, products, or services
• to match and allocate a student and a tutor

Collecting sensitive information

Sometimes we may need to collect sensitive information about you, for example, to handle a complaint. This might include information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, association memberships, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, criminal history, and genetic or biometric information.

Indirect collection

In the course of handling and resolving a complaint, data breach notification, review, or investigation, we may collect personal information (including sensitive information) about you indirectly from publicly available sources or from third parties such as your authorized representative, if you have one applicant, complainants, respondents to a complaint, investigation, application or data breach notification or the third parties’ employees and witnesses.

We also collect personal information from publicly available sources to enable us to contact stakeholders who may be interested in our work or in participating in our consultations.

Collecting through our websites

The UniPress Australia website is hosted in Australia. There are several ways in which we collect information through our website.

Web analytics

We use our own tool to collect data about your interaction with our website. The sole purpose of collecting your data in this way is to improve your experience when using our site. The types of data we collect with these tools include:

• your device’s IP address (collected and stored in an anonymized format)
• geographic location (city)
• referring domain and out link if applicable
• search terms and pages visited on our website
• date and time when pages were accessed on our website

Cookies

Cookies are small data files transferred onto computers or devices by websites for record-keeping purposes and to enhance functionality on the website.

Most browsers allow you to choose whether to accept cookies or not. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, please set your browser preferences to reject all cookies before accessing our website.

Email lists, registrations and feedback

We will collect information that you provide to us when signing up to mailing lists and registering for our events, or when submitting feedback on your experience with our website.

Social networking services

We use social networking services such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to communicate with the public about our work. When you communicate with us using these services, we may collect your personal information, but we only use it to help us to communicate with you and the public. The social networking service will also handle your personal information for its own purposes. These services have their own privacy policies. You can access the privacy policies for Twitter, Facebook and YouTube (a Google company) on their websites.

We strongly follow the same manner such as how the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) handles personal information.

OAIC collect, hold, use and disclose personal information to carry out our functions or activities under the Australian Information Commissioner Act 2010 (Cth) (AIC Act), the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act), and other legislation that confer powers or functions on the OAIC including the My Health Records Act 2012 (Cth) (My Health Records Act), and the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)  (CC Act)

More information can be found in our main privacy policy and our human resources privacy policy.
