We take privacy seriously

Your privacy is important to us
Superbly Pty Ltd (ACN668191240) (“Superbly”, “us”, “we” or “our”) respects the rights and preferences regarding the data privacy of our Users. We provide access to our software for our customers (each a “Customer”) in order to provide tools that, among other things, help provide a feedback loop among teachers, parents, guardians, and students (each a “Service”). Our users include our Customers, teachers, parents, guardians and students (each a “User”). All personal information that we receive from our Users is subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”), is owned by the respective User, and is only processed by us as set out in this privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”).
While any User may choose not to give us their personal information, if we do not collect a User’s personal information, we may not be able to provide such User with our Services.
This Privacy Policy is subject to change without prior or separate notification: any changes will be posted on our website.
Student’s Privacy
When enabled by the respective parent or guardian (each a “Primary User”), we may permit the use of our Services by Users under the age of 18 ( each a “Student”). We do not allow the creation of accounts for Students without the consent of their respective Primary User.

The Primary User will retain the ability to access the activity in the Student account, and may delete the Student account at any time. The Primary User may also delete the Student’s personal information and refuse to permit its further collection or use by contacting us, as set out in the contact details below.
