We use the information we collect to enhance the services and products we provide to you. We respect the privacy and confidentiality of any information provided by you or collected from your use of our website. Please read our Privacy Policy below carefully before using our website. By using our website faqbusinesstraining.com, you agree to be bound by the terms of our Privacy Policy, Website Disclaimer and Website Terms of Use.
As a small business, we are not required by law to adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles. We choose to follow the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act), but are not legally bound by them. The NPPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your Personal Information.
A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Federal Privacy Commissioner at https://www.oaic.gov.au/.
What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?

We collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our products and services to you, providing information to, and communicating with our clients and for direct marketing purposes. We may also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any time by following the unsubscribe link or letting us know.
When we collect additional and specific Personal Information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and how we plan to use it.

Payment and credit card details are encrypted and stored with secure third-party providers. We do not gather or store credit card information.
Persons aged under 18

AUD PRICING PLANS AND GST
Because we like to do the right thing and we are an Australian GST registered business, we are managing GST by manually calculating GST on AUD plan course purchases. This means your purchase price includes GST and your invoice makes a note of that. If you are Australian GST registered and able to claim GST, the GST figure needs to be calculated by you as the course price divided by 11. We have noted this on the sales page and have generally done the calculation for you.
