03.1 General purpose

We use your data to provide better services and enhance your experience with Legacy Design Studio. As the Data Controller, Legacy Design Studio processes your personal data for the following purposes:

We manage your registration as a Platform user to identify you and give you access to services available for registered users. This includes developing, complying with, and executing contracts for services such as the sale or subscription to courses. For instance, when you make a purchase, you expressly authorize us to process the necessary data for activation and payment processing. We ensure that your payment information, including card security codes, is used only for processing your purchase and is not stored afterward, except as needed for future transactions. This feature allows your payment data to autofill in future purchases, making it convenient for you. You can modify or delete your payment information at any time through your account settings.

We use your data to recommend job opportunities that match your profile and to contact you via email regarding updates or information related to features, products, or services you have contracted, including platform security updates.

We respond to any requests or inquiries you make through our customer service channels and use your information to generate aggregated non-identifying data. This helps us create statistics about our users, their jobs or areas of expertise, the number of impressions or clicks on a specific course or project, and visitor demographics.

Additionally, we use the information we collect for various purposes, including to provide, analyse, administer, enhance, and personalise the Services and marketing efforts; to process your subscription, purchase, or payments; to communicate with you on these and other topics; to evaluate and improve the Services; and to comply with legal obligations. Specifically, we use such information to:

• Create and manage your accounts and profiles.

• Provide users and Teachers with features and functionality, including facilitating participation in our content, classes, lessons, courses, and live events.
• Issue completion certificates, badges, or other credentials.
• Facilitate social or community features, such as identifying and suggesting connections with other users or Teachers and providing discussion boards, chat, or messaging functionality.
• Provide Teachers with information related to student engagement and analytics to pay Teachers appropriately.
• Manage student and Teacher referrals.
• Secure our systems, prevent fraud, and help protect the security of accounts.
• Prevent, detect, and investigate potentially prohibited or illegal activities, including fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
• Analyse and understand our audience, improve our Service, and optimise content selection, algorithms, and delivery.
• Communicate with you concerning the Services, including news about Legacy Design Studio, details about new features and content, special offers, promotional announcements, consumer surveys, and operational requests such as password reset requests.
• Fulfil contractual obligations with third parties.
• Complete corporate transactions.
• Fulfil any other purpose at your direction.

03.2 Marketing

We use your data to inform you about our latest offerings, updates, and services. When we send you newsletters and information about our services, or when we use your email to contact you individually, we do so with your informed consent. This allows us to keep you updated with relevant content and to recognize you when you return to visit our website, providing a more personalised and engaging experience.

We may share your data with third parties where you have consented to the use or disclosure, ensuring you have control over who can access your information. Additionally, we may disclose your data where required or authorised by law, including complying with legal obligations or responding to lawful requests from governmental authorities. Your payment information may be shared with payment systems operators, such as merchants receiving card payments, to process transactions and manage billing efficiently. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or other similar events, we may disclose your personal data to a prospective buyer or other relevant parties, allowing them to evaluate the business and its operations. Furthermore, we may need to share data with distributors like Fourthwall, who provide various fashion and apparel items, to ensure efficient distribution and management of our product offerings.

You can also cancel your notifications by following the instructions in each notice you receive. By doing so, you maintain control over the communications you receive from us and can tailor your experience to better suit your preferences.

06.1 Data Retention Period

We generally retain your personal data as long as you keep your account open or as needed to provide you with our Services. This includes data you or others provided to us and data generated or inferred from your use of our Services. Even if you only use our Services intermittently, such as when looking for a new job every few years, we will retain your information and keep your profile open unless you close your account. In some cases, we choose to retain certain information (e.g., insights about Services use) in a depersonalised or aggregated form.

We will retain your personal data for as long as we have a valid contractual relationship, and after that, for the period determined by any obligations arising from the treatment of the data or as established by law. This ensures that we comply with legal and regulatory requirements, while also enabling us to provide a seamless experience should you return to use our Services in the future.

06.2 Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Data

We provide various options for the collection, use, and sharing of your data, including deleting or correcting data in your profile, controlling the visibility of your posts, opting out of advertising, and managing communication preferences. We offer settings to help you control and manage the personal data we have about you.

For personal data that we have about you, you can:

• Delete Data: You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your personal data, especially if it is no longer necessary to provide Services to you.
• Change or Correct Data: You can edit some of your personal data through your account. You can also request us to change, update, or fix your data in certain cases, particularly if it’s inaccurate.
• Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You can ask us to stop using all or some of your personal data (e.g., if we have no legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g., if your personal data is inaccurate or unlawfully held).

06.3 Data Protection Rights

As the Data Controller, we are committed to respecting the confidential nature of your personal data and ensuring you can fully exercise your rights. At all times, you will have the following rights:

• Right to Access: You have the right to confirm whether we are processing your personal data and, if we are, to obtain a copy of such data and information regarding the processing.
• Right to Amend: You have the right to correct errors, modify incomplete or incorrect data, and guarantee the authenticity of the information being processed.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your data without undue delay if it is being processed wrongfully or if the purpose for which it was processed or collected no longer exists.
• Right to Limitation of Processing: You have the right to request the suspension of the processing of your information if it is illegal or if the accuracy of the data has been contested.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your data when it is used for direct marketing purposes or when the processing must be terminated due to a personal situation, except when there is a legitimate interest or it is necessary for the exercise or defence of legal claims.
• Right Not to be Subjected to Automated Decisions: You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on the automated processing of your data, including profiling, with binding legal effects or which significantly affects you, except when necessary for the execution of an agreement, as permitted by law, or if you have expressly authorised it.

To exercise these rights, please send an email to: info@legacydesignstudio.com.au indicating your (i) identity, by sharing your full name and the email address used to register or make a purchase at Legacy Design Studio, and an ID to establish your identity, and (ii) the right or rights you are exercising.

You may also visit the agency overseeing data protection in your country to file a claim or request the protection of your rights, if deemed necessary.

The exercise of such rights is free, except when requests are deliberately unfounded or excessive, in which case the individual will be required to bear the processing costs.

We endeavour to comply with other age restrictions and requirements in accordance with applicable local laws. Legacy Design Studio’s Services are not directed to children who are under the age of 16 years, whose age makes it illegal to process their personal data. We do not knowingly collect or use personal data from children who meet these criteria. If you are under the age of 16, please do not use the Services and do not provide any personal data to us. We may offer specific services dedicated to children, and your use of those services will be subject to the privacy policy governing that service.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 16 years of age. All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian to use the Services. If you are a minor, you must have your parent or guardian read and agree to these Terms of Use prior to you using the Services.

We do not knowingly solicit data from, offer Services to, or market to children under the age of 16. If you are under 16, or if a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information, please contact us at admin@Legacydesignstudio.com.au. If we learn that we have collected the personal data of a child under the age of 16, we will take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Legacy Design Studio account associated with that personal data.

We are committed to ensuring that our products and services comply with Australian laws relating to the protection of children’s data. This includes adherence to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988, which govern the way we handle personal information. Legacy Design Studio is committed to adhering to international data protection standards and complying with relevant laws across various jurisdictions, including the United States and the European Union. In the US, we comply with regulations such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which imposes certain requirements on services directed to children under the age of 13. For users in the European Union, we adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring the lawful processing of personal data, particularly concerning minors under the age of 16. Our commitment extends to complying with any additional local data protection laws and regulations applicable to the countries where our users reside. This comprehensive approach ensures that we handle personal data with the utmost care, respecting privacy and legal standards globally.
