Privacy Policy 

1. What information is collected and what is done with it?

When you enrol as a student or subscriber (“learner”) on the Applied 8 site, or on one of our related courses or resources, as part of the enrolling process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name and email address.

We may send you emails about our site, related course(s), resources, registration, course content, your course progress or other updates or education / professional development content. We may also use your email to inform you about changes to courses or resources, survey you about your usage, or collect your opinion.

When we report information about Applied 8 access, use and impact, we report aggregate, non-personally identifiable data. Occasionally, we report quoted feedback from users. We do not attribute feedback to specific individuals unless we obtain permission to use that person’s name along with the feedback.

2. How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to become a learner on our site, make a purchase, engage with one of our resources or participate in a course, you imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

3. How do I withdraw my consent?

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at [email protected]

7. Third Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies and terms of use so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

As an example, if you are located in Australia and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation.

Once you leave our course website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.
