Privacy Policy

Land & Legacy Pty Ltd ("Land & Legacy", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals who interact with our programs, services, and digital platforms.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in Schedule 1 of that Act.

By using our website, application, or services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you are providing information on behalf of a minor, you confirm you have authority to do so as their parent or guardian.

We may collect the following types of personal information:

• Identity information: Full name, date of birth, age group.
• Contact information: Email address, phone number, residential address.
• Guardian / parent information: Name, email, and phone number of a parent or guardian (required for participants under 18).
• Program information: Program and track enrolment, progression level, skill pathway interests, attendance records, and learning outcomes.
• Financial information: Fee payment details, scholarship applications, and payment status. We do not store full credit card or bank account numbers.
• Health and accessibility information: Accessibility needs or special requirements you voluntarily disclose to ensure appropriate support.
• Media: Photos or videos uploaded to the Journey Gallery, subject to separate consent.
• Technical information: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and usage data collected via cookies and similar technologies.

We collect personal information:

• Directly from you when you complete an enrolment form, application, or booking.
• From a parent or guardian on behalf of a minor participant.
• From partner organisations (schools, farms) with your knowledge and consent.
• Automatically through our website and application via cookies and analytics tools.

We collect and use personal information to:

• Enrol and manage participants in Land & Legacy programs.
• Match participants with appropriate mentors and partner farms.
• Communicate program updates, schedules, and important notices.
• Process fees, scholarships, and financial aid.
• Meet our child safety obligations and comply with Working With Children requirements.
• Maintain records of program participation and progress.
• Improve our services through internal analytics.
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations.

We take the privacy of children very seriously. Where a participant is under 18 years of age, we require the consent of a parent or legal guardian before collecting personal information about that child.

Personal information about minors is used solely for the purposes of program delivery, child safety, and guardian communication. It is not used for marketing without express guardian consent.

Parents and guardians may request access to, or correction of, information held about their child by contacting us at the details below.

We may share your personal information with:

• Mentors and partner farms involved in delivering your program, on a need-to-know basis.
• School partners where you are enrolled through a school-based pathway.
• Third-party service providers (e.g. payment processors, cloud hosting) who are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Government or regulatory bodies where required or authorised by law.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Your personal information is stored securely on servers located in Australia or with overseas cloud providers who maintain equivalent data protection standards. We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under the APPs, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or out-of-date information.
• Complain about how we have handled your personal information.
• Opt out of receiving marketing communications.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@landandlegacy.com.au. We will respond within 30 days.

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience and analyse site usage. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the site may not function as intended.

Our application may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. We will notify registered users of material changes via email or an in-app notice. The updated policy will always be accessible via the footer of our website.

If you believe we have not handled your personal information in accordance with this policy or the APPs, please contact us in the first instance. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
