Privacy Policy

At Thoth Tech, we are committed to protecting your privacy and managing your personal information transparently and responsibly. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and manage personal information in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal information:

  • Analytics Data: Non-identifiable information about your interaction with our website, such as pages visited, time spent, and clickstream data.
  • Contact Information: If you reach out to us directly, we may collect your name, email address, or other contact details.

We do not collect sensitive information as defined by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, or religious beliefs, unless explicitly provided by you with your consent.

2. How We Collect Information

We collect information using:

  • Cookies: Small text files placed on your device to gather analytics data.
  • Direct Communication: Information provided by you through forms, emails, or other methods.

3. Why We Collect Information

We collect personal information for the following purposes:

  • To understand how users interact with our website.
  • To improve the content and features we offer to our community.
  • To ensure our resources meet the needs of our user base.

Note: We are a non-profit organisation, and your data will not be used for advertising purposes or sold to third parties.

4. Storage and Security of Information

Your data is stored securely on servers compliant with modern security standards. We implement reasonable safeguards to protect your information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Data processed through Google Analytics is transmitted securely using HTTPS encryption and stored on servers adhering to robust privacy and security standards, including compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant privacy laws. While Google Analytics implements stringent security measures, it is important to note that data stored on its platform is subject to Google’s data policies and may be accessible to Google under certain circumstances. We are committed to ensuring that our use of Google Analytics complies with applicable data protection laws and prioritises the security and privacy of your data.

5. Disclosure of Information

We do not disclose personal information to third parties unless required to do so under Australian law, such as in response to a legal obligation or regulatory requirement, or unless you have explicitly authorised such disclosure. If it becomes necessary to disclose personal information to recipients located outside Australia, we will ensure that the disclosure complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This includes taking reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient handles your personal information in a way that is consistent with Australian privacy standards. Where practical, we will notify you of the countries in which these recipients are likely to be located and the nature of the data being disclosed. Our priority is to maintain the integrity and security of your personal information, regardless of where it is processed or stored.

6. Access and Correction of Information

You have the right to access and correct any personal information we hold about you. To request access or a correction, please contact us at thoth.tech.deakin@gmail.com. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Complaints

If you believe we have breached the APPs, you can lodge a complaint by contacting us at thoth.tech.deakin@gmail.com. We take privacy concerns seriously and will respond promptly to address your complaint.

8. Cross-Border Disclosure

While we primarily store data within Australia, there may be circumstances where data needs to be disclosed to recipients in other countries, such as when using international cloud storage providers, analytics tools like Google Analytics, or engaging overseas-based technical support. If such disclosure is necessary, we will inform you where practical and take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is handled securely and in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), including ensuring that overseas recipients provide similar privacy protections.

9. Security Disclaimer

While we strive to protect your data using robust security measures, it is important to note that transmissions over the internet are not entirely secure and may be subject to risks beyond our control. Although we take all reasonable steps to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security during transmission and disclaim liability for any data breaches caused by factors such as cyberattacks, technical failures, or other circumstances beyond our direct control.

10. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without such consent, we will take immediate steps to delete the information from our records. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information without their consent are encouraged to contact us so we can promptly address the issue

11. Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or Australian legal requirements. The latest version will always be available on our website.
