  1. Cross-border disclosure of personal information

Learnt will take reasonable steps to ensure that, if we disclose your personal information to an offshore recipient, the offshore recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in relation to your personal information, except where:

  • we reasonably believe the offshore recipient is subject to privacy laws in their foreign country which are consistent with the APPs, and you have access to mechanisms in that country for the enforcement of those privacy laws to protect your information;
  • we are legally permitted or required to make that offshore disclosure;
  • we inform you that we will not take reasonable steps to ensure that the offshore recipient does not breach the APPs, and you nevertheless consent to the disclosure; or
  • the Privacy Act 1988 1988 (Cth) otherwise permits the offshore disclosure.

All requests must be made in writing, and in the appropriate form specified by us from time to time. On receipt of an application, and within a reasonable timeframe, we will take reasonable steps to inform you of what personal information we hold.

We will ordinarily grant access to the personal information unless:

  • giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
  • the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
  • we are unable to verify your identity;
  • we are entitled to reject your access to the personal information pursuant to any law; or
  • the access would be unlawful.

We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for providing access to the personal information, but not for making the application or correcting personal information held by us. We may withhold access to the personal information until the fee is paid.

 

  1. What is Learnt’s commitment to data security?

Learnt will take all reasonable steps to protect the security of the personal information that it holds. Learnt recognises your concern as to security, and will use reasonable efforts to establish secure connections with you and to limit access to the databases that hold your personal information, to authorised personnel only.

We have in place user names, passwords and access restrictions that provide electronic protection of personal information stored electronically. There are inherent risks with the transmission of data over the internet. Whilst reasonably appropriate security measures are in place for the protection of your personal information, you must be aware that no guarantee is made that your personal information is completely secure.

In the event of any unauthorised access and/or disclosure of your personal information, we comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 in dealing with any such unauthorised access and/or disclosure, including any obligations which may arise in respect of eligible data breaches within the meaning of the Privacy Act 1988.
