Privacy & Security
The protection and privacy of your personal information is a priority to us. This means handling your personal information in a responsible manner in accordance with the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Our Privacy Policy contains details about how we collect, use and disclose your personal information generally and our Online Security Statement provides additional security information about how we ensure the security of your personal information when you deal with us online.
Online Security Statement
Please read this statement along with our Privacy Policy below
We take the protection of your personal information very seriously, so we regularly revise and update our security measures to keep your information private and meet industry standards.
Steps we take to protect your personal information
- We encrypt your information as it travels between your computer and our computers. We use a form of Transport Layer Security (TLS) to stop anyone intercepting your information.
- Your personal information is stored on computer systems which are protected by a combination of firewalls, secure logon processes, encryption and intrusion monitoring technologies.
- We use a recognised payment service provider to process any insurance payments you make using this website. This service provider is committed to protecting your personal information on our behalf.
- In certain circumstances we will collect and use your IP address to protect the security of our website.
- We regularly test our websites and infrastructure for vulnerabilities and take action where needed.
- We apply security patches to software provided by vendors.
Steps you can take to protect your personal information
It’s still very important that you take some steps to help keep up security when you’re online:
- Protect your personal information, such as usernames, passwords and policy details, by not allowing anyone to see you entering them, and avoid public Wi-Fi usage.
- Notify us as soon as possible if you become aware of any security breaches.
- Use a strong password for your account. Try to think of something that is easy to remember, but hard to guess, such as a passphrase.
- Change your password regularly and try not to reuse the same password on more than one site.
- Don’t let your browser save your password for our websites.
- Be wary of websites, emails or phone calls that claim to be from us. Please contact us if you are unsure.
- Keep an eye on your accounts and check for any unauthorised transactions.
- Keep your devices up to date with firewall enabled, anti-malware software, anti-virus software and security updates.
How do you make sure you’re going to the right website?
- Always go directly to our website by typing the address www.educatetoelevate.com.au rather than following links found in emails or elsewhere online.
Keeping safe with email
- Never disclose personal, financial or debit/credit card information by email infor@educatetoelevate.com.au if you’re unsure of the legitimacy of any email that appears to have come from us.
- We will never ask for sensitive or personal information such as usernames or passwords if you haven’t asked for our help first.
By helping us with these things, we can both work to make your world a safer place. To report any concerns around the security or privacy of your information please email info@educatetoelevate.com.au.
