Your privacy is important to us. CheckmyVisa is committed to protecting your personal information and complying with applicable Australian privacy laws. We take all reasonable steps to safeguard the information we collect, including the use of secure systems to protect our computer infrastructure and premises.
When performing Visa Rights or Entitlement to Work checks, the types of personal information we may collect include:
If you do not consent to providing the required personal information, we cannot provide the services.
We only use your personal information to complete the certificate issuance process and for related purposes that could reasonably be expected, such as informing you of new or updated services. We will not use your information for any other purpose without your consent.
Once your certificate has been delivered by email, all sensitive data (full family name, date of birth, email address, passport number, and country of origin) will be permanently purged from our system. For audit purposes, we retain only your given names and the first letter of your family name. We are required to keep a log of the type of travel documents you submit for checking. These references are passed to the Australian Department of Home Affairs. We do not keep or transmit images of your documents once they have been verified.
All information submitted through our website contact form is received by email only. We do not store contact form submissions in any database.
We may disclose your personal information to the Australian Department of Home Affairs so they can verify your details against the original source. Other than this, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent, unless required or authorised by law.
We may collect and analyse non-identifiable, aggregated information (such as website usage statistics) to help us improve our services. This information cannot be used to personally identify you.
We may amend this Privacy Policy as our business requirements or the law changes. Any updates will be published on our website: www.checkmyvisa.au.
