Data Security, Privacy and Cookies Policy

The Assessment App collects data that you enter in to the various fields and pages. This data includes sensitive personal information that is entered by you for the purpose of being transferred to VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd.

Until you save or submit your Assessment, we do not store any of your sensitive personal data. We only store your data if you click Save or Submit. If you do not save or submit your data, and you close your browser, everything you have entered will disappear from the App.

If you save your Assessment, we will encrypt and securely store all the data (including personal data) you have entered for 90 days. At the end of the 90 days your data will be deleted from the Assessment App server unless you have submitted it.

If you submit your Assessment, your personal data will be wiped from the Assessment App server after it is encrypted and securely transmitted to VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd.

We automatically receive certain types of data whenever you interact with the Assessment App. For example, when you use the Assessment App our systems automatically collect your IP address and the type of browser or operating system you use. We may also collect standard access data, such as the time and date of accessing the Assessment App, usage of the Assessment App and error tracking. We use such data to help us understand how our visitors use the Assessment App, to address performance issues and to manage security.

We also use session-based cookies to manage your login to the Assessment App. These session cookies exist only during one session and disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn of your computer.

These processes and cookies do not collect data that individually identifies a visitor. All usage data that is collected is aggregated and anonymous. It is only used to tell us how our Assessment App is used so that we can optimize our users experience.

If you save your Assessment, we encrypt the personal data and files that you enter in to the Assessment App using the AES-256 standard, which is the same encryption standard used by banks to secure customer data. Encryption for storage is applied at the time the data and files are saved or submitted.

This Assessment App uses Azure for data storage using exclusively its data centres in Australia. Azure stores data over several large-scale data centres. According to Azure, they use military grade perimeter control berms, video surveillance, and professional security staff to keep their data centres physically secure. You can find more information about Azure’s security on their website.

When you submit your Assessment, your data and files are sent between the Assessment App’s, the Assessment servers and VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd’s processing software over an encrypted and secure channel using 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, the standard for secure Internet network connections.

Once your data is submitted, your data is stored by VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd and authorised staff at VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd will be able to view the data you have provided via their Migration Manager desktop software.

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. If you are located outside Australia and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to Australia and process it there.

If you would like your data to be edited after this point in time please contact VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd by email or by using the Contact Us section on the VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd website.

Redundant backups of encrypted data stored in the Assessment App are stored in multiple locations in Australia to prevent the remote possibility of data loss.

Due to the nature of the services provided by VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd, personal details of children may be entered in to the Assessment App but only with the permission of an authorised adult responsible for that child.

Other than stated above, unless required by law, we do not share your data with any third party other than VisaAid Immigration & Education Services Pty Ltd. In compliance with the law of Australia, Migration Manager will cooperate with law enforcement agencies of Australia when it receives a valid legal request, which may require us to provide a copy of your encrypted data to those authorities.
