Privacy Collection Statement

These were last revised 1 August 2023.

Through the operation of the myWAY Employability platform (Platform) operated at mywayemployability.au (Website), and your use of the Platform and Website, Autism CRC Ltd ABN 55 162 632 180 and its related entities (Autism CRC, we, our and us) will collect personal information about you.

We collect this information to facilitate your use of the Platform and Website and the other purposes described below. If we cannot collect the personal information we request, then we may be unable to provide you with our products and services, such as access and use of the Platform.

The types of information we collect will generally depend on how you use the Platform. For example, if you use the Platform only as a supporter of a primary user, we will generally only collect your name,  email address, pronouns, employment status and education level. We may also collect information about the organisation you are with (if any).  Where you register as a primary user of the Platform, we will generally collect information about you including but not limited to  your name, pronouns, contact details, (where you are under the age of 18) the name of your parent or legal guardian and their contact details, and other information that you provide when you register and use the Platform such as details about your education, skills and attributes, sensory and environmental observations, employment history, career goals, and your reflections and self-assessments about your achievements and experiences associated with your use of the Platform.   

We may collect information about the way in which you use the Platform, information about the users that you interact with and other information as part of managing your use of the Platform and our services.   Some of the information we collect may include health information and other sensitive information about you, through your use of the Platform, particularly when you include this information in the content you upload to the Platform.

We will generally collect your personal information from you, but at times we may collect personal information about you from others. For example, if you are under the age of 18 years old, we may collect personal information about you from your parent or guardian or from your health professional who refers you to the Platform.  Another example is where you are nominated as a "supporter" for a Platform user, in which case we will initially collect personal information about you from the Platform user who nominates you, before you sign up as a Platform user yourself.

If you provide us with personal information about another person, you represent, and we collect it, on the basis that you have that person's consent for us to collect and handle their personal information in accordance with this Privacy Collection Statement.

When you use the Platform certain personal information and sensitive information about you may be used and disclosed to other individuals. For example, if you nominate an individual as a supporter or if you use the Platform in the course of services provided to you by a health professional, that supporter and/or health professional will be able to view certain content and other aspects of your use of the Platform including personal information about you. As a supporter of an individual, your personal information may also be shared and disclosed to other supporters and/or service providers of the individual you are supporting.  Those supporters and/or service providers can change at anytime without prior notice to you.

We will also use, disclose and otherwise process your personal information to facilitate your use of the Platform, to provide you with other relevant products and services, to assist with future product development, for future research projects and for our related internal administrative purposes. In carrying out these activities, we may disclose your personal information to our advisors and third parties who provide products and services to us (such as our IT service providers), to other members of our corporate group, and as otherwise required or permitted by law. Generally, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties located overseas except where we are permitted or required by law, or with your consent.

We may provide you with promotional material about the Platform and our products and services. You can opt-out of receiving such communications from us at any time using the mechanism in such communications or by contacting us via the details below.

Our Privacy Policy at https://www.autismcrc.com.au/privacy includes additional information about the way we handle personal information including how to seek access to, or correction of, your personal information, and how to complain if you believe we have breached our privacy obligations and how we will handle your complaint.
