  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
  • In our mobile products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

9X5 CONSULTING Pty Ltd (“9X5 Consulting”) operates several websites including 9X5.com.au and education360.com.au. It is 9X5 Consulting’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites. The Site may contain links to other websites. The Company is not responsible for the privacy practices of those other websites.

Website Visitors

Like most websites, 9X5 Consulting collects non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. 9X5 Consulting’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to understand better how 9X5 Consulting visitors use its website. From time to time, 9X5 Consulting may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

9X5 Consulting also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on blogs. 9X5 Consulting only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Personally-Identifying Information

When you interact with 9X5 Consulting, we may need to gather some personally identifiable information (PII) about you. 9X5 Consulting will only collect the information necessary to support our interaction with you. 9X5 Consulting complies with the Australian Privacy Act and the European General Data Protection Regulations. The following section provides information on what we gather, how we use it, and your rights in relation to that information.

What will we do with your information?

We will use it only for the purposes it was gathered. We will not sell your personal information. We will take all reasonable steps to protect your information.

Protection of certain personally-identifying information

Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, 9X5 Consulting discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when 9X5 Consulting believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of 9X5 Consulting, third parties or the public at large.
