What we collect
We collect the details you give us when you create an account, join as a member, register for an event or contact us — your name, email, school or community, year levels and payment records. We never sell personal information.
How we use it
Your details personalise your resources, deliver what you've purchased, and keep you informed where you've opted in. Payment card details are handled by Stripe and PayPal — VPC never sees or stores card numbers.
Storage & security
Your account data is stored in Australia on secured infrastructure with access limited to authorised VPC staff. Some of the service providers we rely on — payment processing (Stripe, PayPal), video hosting (Vimeo), webinars (Zoom) and our newsletter platform (Mailchimp) — may process limited data overseas under their own safeguards. You can request a copy or deletion of your data at any time via the contact page.
The VPC mobile app
If you use the VPC app and turn on notifications, we store a device notification token so we can deliver them. Notification categories are opt-in and can be changed or switched off in the app at any time, which stops their use.
Questions
Privacy questions or requests: use the contact form or write to the VPC secretary. We respond as soon as we can — VPC is volunteer-run, so response times may vary.
