This Privacy Policy explains how PhotoShare Academy handles personal information collected through photosharemiddle.top in connection with our personal development courses. It describes what we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices and rights available to users in Australia and elsewhere.
Use the contact details below for privacy questions, access requests, or complaints about our handling of personal data.
We may collect identifiers such as name and contact details, account and profile information, course enrolment and progress records, payment-related information handled through our service providers, communications sent to us, and technical data such as device type, browser information, log data, and approximate location derived from network settings.
We collect personal data directly from users when they create an account, enrol in a course, complete forms, or contact us. We also receive data from service providers that support payments, hosting, analytics, and security, and we generate limited technical data through the operation of the website and related systems.
Our site may use essential cookies to support core functions, preference cookies to remember settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. Cookies may be session-based or persistent, depending on their purpose and lifespan.
You can usually block or delete cookies through your browser settings, and where available you may use on-site controls to manage preferences. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function properly, so disabling them may affect login, security, or course access features.
We use personal information to create and manage accounts, provide course access, process enrolments and payments, respond to enquiries, maintain site security, monitor performance, improve content and functionality, send service messages, and comply with legal and record-keeping obligations. We may also use limited technical data to diagnose problems and prevent misuse.
We may share personal information with trusted providers that support hosting, payment processing, analytics, customer support, email delivery, security, and related operational services. These parties are expected to use the information only for the services they provide to us and to handle it under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
We may disclose personal information where required or permitted by law, including in response to lawful requests, court orders, regulatory obligations, or to protect rights, safety, or security. We may also share information when necessary to investigate fraud, misuse, or other unlawful activity.
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate details, or object to certain uses where that is available. In some cases, we may need to retain or continue processing information for legal, security, or operational reasons.
To protect privacy, we may ask for information needed to verify your identity and understand the request. If a request is refused in whole or in part, we will explain the reason where required and, if appropriate, outline any further steps available to you.
Retention periods vary by record type. Account, course, and communication records are kept while they are needed to provide services, resolve disputes, maintain security, or meet legal and accounting obligations. When information is no longer required, we delete it, de-identify it, or archive it in a restricted form where appropriate.
The updated version will apply from the date it is posted on the site unless a different effective date is stated. Where a change is significant, we will take reasonable steps to draw attention to it through the website or other suitable notice.
