Australian Personal Combatives (APC) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and securely. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it and how we use and protect it.

Where applicable, we handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

01Information we collect

APC only collects information that is reasonably necessary to provide our training and related services. This may include:

  • your name;
  • email address;
  • telephone number;
  • details relating to your enquiry, booking or participation in a course;
  • information contained in registration forms, waivers or other documents you provide to us; and
  • where relevant to your safe participation in training, information you voluntarily provide about an injury, medical condition or other physical limitation.

We do not intentionally collect information that is not relevant to our activities.

02Why we collect your information

We may use your personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries;
  • register you for courses or training;
  • communicate with you about training arrangements, schedules or changes;
  • administer participation, waivers and attendance records;
  • manage safety and training requirements;
  • maintain appropriate business, insurance and administrative records; and
  • meet any legal or regulatory obligations.

We may also contact you about future Combatives courses or activities where you have consented to receive such communications or where otherwise permitted by law. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

03How we collect information

We generally collect personal information directly from you, including when you:

  • contact us by email, telephone or through our website;
  • enquire about or book training;
  • complete a registration form or waiver; or
  • participate in a Combatives course or event.

04Disclosure of information

APC does not sell, rent or trade personal information.

We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

  • service providers who assist us in operating our business, such as website, email, booking, payment or cloud-storage providers;
  • insurers, professional advisers or other parties where required for legitimate business purposes; or
  • government authorities, regulators or other parties where required or authorised by law.

Where third-party service providers process information on our behalf, we seek to use reputable providers with appropriate security and privacy practices.

Some service providers may store or process information outside Australia.

05Security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, interference and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including administrative, insurance, legal and record-keeping requirements. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or de-identify it.

06Access and correction

You may ask us to provide access to personal information we hold about you or to correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
