Privacy Policy
By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to our Privacy Policy.
Any Personal Information, or information about you, your students, or children, provided to us by you is handled according to our Privacy Policy.
By using the Deadly Coders Online Platform, or by allowing your child or student to use the Platform, you agree to the collection, storage, and use of Personal Information as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
Registration
Registered Users may have access to different functionality or content depending on their role. Verified Teachers have access to additional content and student management functionality.
Registered User accounts must not be shared between multiple users or transferred to another user by updating the account details in the platform. Re-using a Registered User account for multiple people is a breach of our Terms of Use.
Age of Consent
In Australia, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner states that “as a general rule, an organisation or agency may assume an individual over the age of 15 has capacity [to consent], unless they’re unsure.”
If a resident is not over the Age of Consent, we require the consent of a parent or guardian to create a Registered User account.
Parent or Guardian Consent
By creating, or authorising the creation of, a Registered User account for a child under their Age of Consent, you consent on their behalf to Deadly Coders Online collecting, storing, and using their Personal Information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You warrant you have the authority to consent to our Terms on their behalf as a parent or guardian, or are acting on the authority of their parent(s) or guardian(s).
Registering Users Who Are Under Their Age of Consent
By creating, or authorising the creation of, a Registered User account for a child under their Age of Consent, you warrant to having obtained parental or guardian consent for Deadly Coders Online to collect, store, and use their Personal Information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
If Deadly Coders Online determines that it has inadvertently collected Personal Information (as defined in our Privacy Policy) from a child under their Age of Consent without prior parental or teacher consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete this information.
Registering Users Who Are Over Their Age of Consent
By creating, or authorising the creation of, a Registered User account on behalf of a user over their Age of Consent, you warrant to having obtained their consent for Deadly Coders Online to collect, store, and use their Personal Information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
