WHY DO WE COLLECT, HOLD AND USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We collect, hold and use your personal information so that we can:
-
provide you with products and services, and manage our relationship with you;
-
contact you, for example, to respond to your queries or complaints, or if we need to tell you something important;
-
comply with our legal obligations and assist government and law enforcement agencies or regulators; or

If you do not provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services, communicate with you, or respond to your enquiries.
​
HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We will collect your personal information directly from you whenever you interact with us.
HOW DO WE STORE AND HOLD PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We store most information about you in computer systems and databases operated by either us or our external service providers. Some information about you may be recorded in paper files that we store securely.
​
We implement and maintain processes and security measures to protect personal information which we hold from misuse, interference or loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
​
These processes and systems include:
-
the use of identity and access management technologies to control access to systems on which information is processed and stored;
-
requiring all employees to comply with internal information security policies and keep information secure; and
-
monitoring and regularly reviewing our practise against our own policies and against industry best practice
We will also take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information once we no longer require it for the purposes for which it was collected or for any secondary purpose permitted under the APPs.
​
WHO DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO, AND WHY?
We may disclose personal information to external service providers so that they may perform services for us or on our behalf.
We may also disclose your personal information to others [outside our group of companies] where:
-
we are required or authorised by law to do so;
-
you may have expressly consented to the disclosure or the consent may be reasonably inferred from the circumstances; or
-
we are otherwise permitted to disclose the information under the Privacy Act.
If the ownership or control of all or part of our business changes, we may transfer your personal information to the new owner.
DO WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO OVERSEAS RECIPIENTS?
We may disclose your personal information to recipients who are located outside Australia due to the online flight management system we use. Sydney Flight Training will take all reasonable steps to make sure that the recipient of personal information does not breach the APP.
DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR MARKETING?
We may use your personal information to offer you products and services we believe may interest you, but we will not do so if you tell us not to.
Where you receive electronic marketing communications from us, you may opt out of receiving further marketing communications by following the opt-out instructions provided in the communication.

We will respond to your requests to access or correct personal information in a reasonable time and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold about you remains accurate, up to date and complete.
