ADF Transition Guide Privacy Notice

The Australian Defence Force (ADF) Transition Guide (the Guide) is a mobile application published by the Defence. The Guide provides an overview of the support available to ADF members, their families and support people, in relation to the transition to civilian life and some ongoing support services available.

While Defence does not specifically collect any personal information about you through your access to the Guide (other than any optional details you choose to provide when giving feedback on the Guide), we utilise non-identifiable analytic data generated by third party systems to improve the mobile application experience for users and how the mobile application is performing. This data can include – but is not limited to - your network location and IP address, operating system, app interaction, session duration, and device information. By accessing the Guide, you consent to the use and processing of data about your visit by third party systems as outlined in Privacy Policy – Privacy and Terms – Google.

Any personal information or data provided to Defence through their use of the Guide is not shared for any other purpose.

Publishing of the Guide is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Defence also endeavours to follow the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s Guide to the access of information page on an agency's website

The Defence Privacy Policy informs individuals who interact with Defence about the way Defence collects, stores, uses and discloses personal information. As the Guide is released on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, users are encouraged to also note the privacy policies of those programs, particularly in regards to how their personal information may be stored in overseas locations by those entities.

For any questions or to make a complaint about how Defence collects, uses, closes, or discloses personal information about individuals, please visit Defence Privacy Policy page.

The security of users information is important. The Guide is regularly reviewed and appropriate measures have been implemented to protect it (along with any information collected) against unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration.
