This Privacy Policy describes how Romeonruapeheamlani (the Company) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information obtained from users of romeonruapeheamlani.sbs, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. By accessing or using this platform, the user acknowledges the practices described in this policy.

The Company collects personal information that users provide directly and information gathered automatically through the user's interaction with romeonruapeheamlani.sbs. The categories of information collected are described below.

• Contact information provided voluntarily by the user when submitting an enquiry through the platform's contact form, including full name and email address, used solely to respond to that enquiry.
• Technical data collected automatically when a user accesses romeonruapeheamlani.sbs, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited, retained for platform security and performance monitoring purposes.
• Usage data describing how the user navigates the platform, including session duration, content accessed, and interaction patterns, collected in anonymised or pseudonymised form through analytics tools to improve the platform's structure and content.
• Correspondence records comprising any written communications submitted to the Company through the platform's contact channels, retained for the purpose of managing and responding to those communications accurately and consistently.

How We Use Your Information

The Company uses personal information collected through romeonruapeheamlani.sbs for specific, limited purposes directly related to the operation of the platform and the Company's legitimate research and communication functions.

• To respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form, including questions about methodology, institutional access arrangements, research collaboration, and content feedback, in a timely and accurate manner.
• To monitor and improve the technical performance of romeonruapeheamlani.sbs, including diagnosing errors, assessing platform load and response times, and identifying navigation patterns that indicate structural or content improvements are required.
• To analyse anonymised usage data for the purpose of understanding how practitioners engage with the platform's methodology modules, research digest content, and applied curriculum materials, enabling ongoing curriculum development.
• To comply with applicable legal obligations under Australian federal and state law, including obligations to retain certain records and to respond to lawful requests from regulatory authorities or courts of competent jurisdiction.

Legal Basis for Processing

The Company processes personal information on the following legal bases as recognised under applicable Australian privacy legislation and, where relevant, analogous international data protection frameworks.

The primary legal basis for processing contact information is the user's voluntary provision of that information for the explicit purpose of receiving a response from the Company. Technical and usage data is processed on the basis of the Company's legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, functional, and continuously improving platform. Where the user has provided explicit consent to the placement of non-essential cookies, analytics data is processed on that consent basis, which may be withdrawn at any time through the user's browser settings or by contacting the Company directly. The Company does not rely on contractual necessity as a basis for processing, as no contractual relationship is formed through access to or use of this platform.

Sharing Information

The Company does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. Information is shared only in the limited circumstances described below, and always subject to appropriate safeguards.

• Third-party analytics and platform performance providers may receive anonymised or pseudonymised usage data under data processing agreements that restrict those providers from using the data for any purpose other than delivering the contracted service to the Company. Users may review the privacy practices of those providers independently.
• The Company may disclose personal information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or courts when required to do so by applicable Australian law or by a valid legal order, and only to the extent strictly required by that obligation.
• In the event that the Company undergoes a structural change such as a merger, acquisition, or transfer of substantially all its assets, personal information held by the Company at the time of that change may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy and subject to notification to affected users where required by law.

Data Security

The Company implements reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission via HTTPS, access controls limiting staff access to personal data to those with a demonstrable operational need, and regular review of security practices in line with current standards applicable to platforms of this scale and type. Notwithstanding these measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure, and the Company cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information transmitted to or stored on romeonruapeheamlani.sbs. Users who become aware of any security vulnerability or unauthorised access are encouraged to notify the Company promptly using the contact details available on the platform.

• The right to request access to personal information the Company holds about the user, including a description of the categories of information held, the purposes for which it is processed, and any third parties with whom it has been shared.
• The right to request correction of personal information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, with the Company obliged to take reasonable steps to correct that information or to attach a notation where correction is disputed.
• The right to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if the user believes the Company has handled their personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, following an initial complaint to the Company itself.
• The right to request that the Company cease processing personal information for direct communication purposes, exercisable at any time by contacting the Company in writing, with effect within a reasonable period following receipt of that request.
