This policy is designed to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Usage Information: We automatically collect details about how you use the platform, including pages visited, features used, and time spent on the service.
We do not collect more information than is necessary to provide our educational services.
AusGrader does not offer anonymous or pseudonymous access. An account with verified details is required to use our services.
We take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we collect and hold is accurate, up-to-date, and complete. We review all uploaded questions to ensure accuracy and quality of content on the platform.
Your account information (name, email, school) is used to manage your account, communicate service updates, and ensure platform security.

We do not use any data for advertising or for training AI models. Our AI provider (OpenAI) also does not use your submissions to train their models.
We may also generate aggregated, de-identified performance data from exam results across the platform (for example, average scores per question or subject). This data cannot be used to identify individual users and may be displayed to help students understand how their results compare to others. Aggregated, de-identified data is not considered personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share data only in these limited cases:
